Tire Replacement Time

[AJS]

I have a 2022 2.0 Liter gas only Lariot. Time for new tires. Currently it has Michelin Primacy 225 60R18 on it from factory.
Should I replace them with same or are there better alternatives? I want a quite, long wearing, good ride and good wet traction. We don't get a whole lot of snow lately in Indiana. Let me know what you have gotten.
Thanks

I’d recommend upgrading to the Michelin Defender 2 in size 225/60R18—

Wholeheartedly agree on the Michelin’s, defender 2 or the cross track 2, whichever you like best for your needs

Incredible that this useless ol' forum doesn't have a single thread on tire selection or opinions.

Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires - GREAT for wet and even better than all-season for snow (my opinion), have them on wife's Explorer for about 30k miles

Agree. I have them on my wife’s car (VW TIGUAN) and they tick all the boxes the OP wants. When my tires need replaced, that is what I am putting on my Mav

75,000 Kumho's great tires

I have Defender 2 on my Maverick and love them.

Take a peek at Cooper tires.

Reading many cons about Michlem tires.

My wife’s Escape has Continental tires, the kind found on upscale European vehicles. Really impressed Of them.

The forum is also deficient in threads on BEV vs ICE, and hybrid vs Ecoboost. It's a head scratcher for sure. And I'm amazed at all the loving threads on the Santa Cruz. I had no idea Maverick owners were so respectful of other OEMs.

We already have defenders on two of our other vehicles, and love them. About to do the same on the Mav.

Go to a 235/60R18 your speedo will be spot on, if that matters. Plenty of grunt in our Ecoboosties :’P
A half inch taller, a half inch wider. It’ll look cooler. :XD

You shouldn’t be worried about gas mileage or you’d have bought a hybrid.
You can compensate for the tire with your right foot. You should not see a change if done right.
Drop one psi like I did with my Yokohama Geolandar GO15’s to comp for the larger tire.
My mpg’s did not change and I was on a much needed all terrain tire.

Last Michelin’s I had were noisy as all hell after only 20,000 miles.
