My 2018 CX9 AWD GT needs tires at just 25K. Disappointing. The factory Bridgestone Ecopia's are close to the wear bars and sound very much 'cupped' (no longer round). After a hydroplaning experience on the highway over the weekend, decided it was time to replace.
After some research, I decided to go with the Michelin Defender LTX M + S. The other tire I was considering was the Michelin Premier LTX.
While I wanted to stay with a V rated tire (the Premier), I decided to go with the Defender due to the superior winter traction and positive ratings associated with wear.
They're getting installed tomorrow. Will keep you posted.
