I live in New Hampshire and have been running with the Michelin Defender LTX's (on 2nd set) on my 2010LimitedExpy. Most all highway miles. These tires are very quiet, very comfortable ride with good steering responsiveness, and the tread life is amazing. As with most all you have posted their experience here, this is a premium tire at a premium price. I think that price is worth it. I religiously rotate my tires and am ensuring tire pressures are always spot on. You can highway run these tires run with confidence on dry or wet pavement. The bad? They are not a very good snow/slush/ice tire...and I am not talking about "deep" snow.

Agree on all counts.

Another tire that I had extremely good experience with are the Bridgestone Dueler A/T REVOs. I ran through 3 sets of these. These are a bit more aggressive looking (and had raised white walls) and performing tire. I ran these on my 98EBExpy, again mostly highway miles. These were a great replacement to the OEM Wranglers. The REVOs rocked on all accounts, but really shined in wet and winter weather driving for me, especially in traction/steering response in the winter. When compared to the Michelins, I found the REVO's were not as quiet/smooth as the Michelins, the tread life shorter, and they were very sensitive to wear along the inner/outer most treads, despite my constant rotation and tire pressure monitoring. Still a VERY GOOD TIRE.

I had these on my last SUV. They were acceptable on the highway, but a bit loud and clunky. Of course highway is not what they were designed for. My big gripe with them was the treadwear. The first set was down below 2/32 by 35K. The second set made it to 38K. I drive 20-25K miles per year so that doesn't work for me.

I’ve been successful on going to the local Dodge dealer and having them look for Michelin MS2 takeoffs. That’s how I bought the last two sets, all for $600 put on. I have 18” on the Expedition.

I have good success with the coopers, in the at 4s in lt e rated, and with p metric in the ht. They have worn well, been quiet, no balance issues. My experience with michelin has been ok, but I have not had the super positive experiences prior posters had. Not worth the extra cost in my experience.

Does anyone have a recommendation for winter tires for my 2017 Ex Ltd. The truck is used for late season launching and hauling out on gravel boat launches that will some times have ice or heavy snow in late December
My Hankooks did quite well when I lived in Ontario, CA....snow, ice, did OK off road...
