Best deal I've found for Michelin Defender is Costco, about $585 installed with tax. I can install myself Cooper CS5 for about $355 including balancing but have no road hazard warranty
I would be replacing Yokohama Avid Touring S for better winter traction on my wife's car. This is my only non Michelin tire buy in the last 30 years and it just made wish for Michelin instead. So even though the savings is good for the Coopers, I'm hesitant.
Should I get the Premier instead of the Defender? I don't need increased cornering ability over the Defender on this car. Better wet traction and braking and winter performance is most important.
