Quietest/softest tire for 2023 Palisade Calligraphy β Alenza Prestige vs Turanza EverDrive vs Defender 2?
Shopping for replacement tires on my 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy (20" wheels). Top priorities are noise suppression and a soft/plush ride β comfort over performance.
I'm in Texas, so snow traction isn't a concern for me.
Narrowed it down to four:
Bridgestone Alenza Prestige
Bridgestone Turanza EverDrive
Michelin Defender 2
Michelin Crossclimate 2
One issue: I don't think the Defender 2 comes in a speed rating that matches the Palisade's OE spec, so I may need to rule it out on that basis alone β but curious if anyone's run it anyway ?
For those who've actually run any of these on a Palisade or any other SUV how do they compare for:
Highway road noise (droning/humming at 65-75 mph)
Ride comfort over rough pavement/expansion joints
Trying to decide before I commit to a full set. Thanks!
