The BEST HT Tire Comparison with Cooper Yokohama Firestone General Tire Michelin & Continental

- Today we are doing an HT Tire Comparison with Cooper, Yokohama, Firestone, General Tire, Michelin, & Continental. We're comparing highway terrain light truck tires, and we have the Cooper Evolution HT, Yokohama Geolander g056, Firestone Destination LE3, General Grabber HTS60, Michelin Defender LTX, & Continental Terrain Contact HT. I like all of these tires but if it were my money, I would choose the Continental Terrain Contact HT or the General Grabber HTS60. A couple of my guys here at the shop just bought some Terrain Contact HT's and love them. One set went on a Toyota 4Runner and one set on a Toyota Tacoma.

Would love to see this comparison again in 2023.
This man knows what he's talking about.
Thanks!
I put a set of the Continental H/Ts of my Forester. Wow, it transformed the driving experience! Worth every penny.
This man knows what he talkn bat
Gotta say this is one of the best tire breakdown videos I’ve seen. Glad I came across your channel. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
One of the best informative videos I’ve ever watched. He wasn’t biased or trying to sell you either way. Used his experience and knowledge to give you multiple options depending on your budget and truck size. Well done Sir!
I appreciate the detail and depth of this video.. this man Thinks about tires and we have all met tire guys who don't! Big Thumbs up.
Great review and side by side comparison! Really helpful that you methodically covered each tire and it’s best features with comments on best applications.
Thanks for watching!
I work in the tire industry and still feel that I gain a lot by watching your videos - really well put together and very informative. Thank you for what you do.
I appreciate that!
@@CampusautoCo Greetings from the eastern shore of Maryland. Just came across your great video while researching tires. My 2013 Nissan Murano AWD, model SL is due for a set of new tires. If you have the time please share your recommendation for my vehicle, OEM tire size is 235/65R18. THANK YOU!
@@slobodantrendic22 I used to live on the Eastern Shore. Salisbury/Delmar/Snow Hill. Great place to live, with good seafood :)
Great review. I've run many sets of michelin's on 1 ton work vans and Honda Ridgeline ... 3 sets of Generals on a half tone 4x4 GMC work truck good in the snow and great wet weather tire
Exactly the comparison I needed. Thanks Matt!
I've watched a lot of tire videos lately and this one is by far the best. I have watched it about 10 times to glean as much information as I can from it. Thanks!😊
I appreciate you watching!
I just ordered a set of the continentals. What an awesome informative video.. thank you
One of the most informative videos I’ve seen. Thank you!
Well here we got a dude who knows about tires,great explaining about each tire,this was great to hear and watch,thanks for a great video and a great job explaining details:)
Thanks for your videos! They’re very detailed and informative. I have a 2019 expedition and wanted to know what your recommendation would be. Thanks in advance!
Thank you for putting in the time to do a great video. Very helpful.
You're very welcome!
Super information Matt thanks and love the the tire reviews.
Glad you like them!
So glad I found your page
I need new rubber on my f150
Your page will be priceless
Looking to go different than the Michelin defender ltx I currently have.
Great review, just ordered a set of Continental for my Tacoma 👍
Great review, and you ended up right were I am, I have 13 Navigator and stuck between the Michelin and the Continental. looking for comfort, Florida so no snow but we do alot of beach sand riding... still stuck...
Try the Continental!
Great video with straightforward explanations. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
My 2017 Toyota Tacoma, SR5 V6, Extended Cab calls for Yokohamas. I'm glad you like them. Great video. Really awesome presentation. Stay safe.
Great reviews love the channel . I know it's hard & time consuming owning & operating your business while maintaining a family life too . But man!! post some more videos looking foward to seeing some winter tire reviews in fall/winter season & would like to see a video on nokian at2 tire or there all weather tires . By the way iam loving my general grabbers At2 on my tocoma great tire your video helped pull the trigger on them & I glad I did!!!
Thanks 👍
Great analysis of each tire. It was very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
I purchased a used Atlas just recently and am looking to downsize wheels from the stock 20s, down to a 17 with a little more cushion. Obviously that comes with having to buy tires, so here I am. I am a Continental fanboy and have put DWS06 tires on all my cars, and love the feel. This gives me some other brand options to look at, thank you!
What a great overview of all these tires! Has anyone testing the stopping distance of the Continental H/T vs. A/T? I'm considering one of these for my summer tires and might lean toward H/T if it has significantly better dry stopping distance, otherwise A/T sounds good.
Well done, sir! Another awesome video! Would love to see more with your actual vehicles and what you run on them.
Thanks! Will do!
Campus Automotive Inc Cool! By the way, I just picked up a set of the General Grabber ATX based on your review! They’re so awesome!
I have a 2020 Kia Telluride, and I'm deciding which tire I have to buy. And you helped me a lot with this video.
I decided to buy Michelin, I believe that because it lasts longer it will be better in the long term because it is more expensive but ends up being cheaper for the future.
Thank you very much!
Great review! I appreciate your honesty! You convinced me to go with Continental HT for my 99 4Runner. Go Hokies!!!
Thanks for this video. There are not many reviews in multiple HT tyres. Would you consider doing and updated version?
Great video! Just ordered the Yokohama tires for my 2wheel stx f150. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Great reviews and you know your stuff thank you for all the effort taken. Looking for what your pick is with a 2011 Lexus RX350. Smooth ride is important but also long lasting tread
Either the Michelin Defender TH or the Uniroyal Tiger Paw AS. Don't go with a full HT because it will hurt the ride.
Honest, and great info...really appreciate it.
Thanks for watching!
I was going to grab me some of those grabbers for my one ton dually ,now I know I will, Thanks great video !
Right on!
My frontier came with the general grabber stock and were worn completely down at 20k I got the geolander
Got to be the best video about tires I've ever seen. Dude you clearly know ALOT about tires.
Good video. Straightforward and informative.
I appreciate that!
Dave from Australia …Thanks for a fantastic and interesting tire reviews
Thanks for watching!
I bought the Continental Terrain Contact HT last week for my Yukon Denali 4WD. Looks great and so far drives excellent. This video helped me make my decision, thanks Matt and keep posting these kind of videos.
Great to hear!
Hey, 2 years later... you still have those tires? Would you buy again?
I don’t have my Yukon anymore. I would go with the Michelin for better ride
@@143tds Since your initial report was that the Continental TerrainContact HT drives excellent, what prompted you to note that the Michelin has a better ride? Did the Continental get worse as it wore down, or did you get a Michelin later and then feel the difference? etc.
stumbled on your page while researching for my next tires and appreciate the great info. which tire option would you recommend for a mazda cx9 gt..255 50 20 and for chicago area? mainly I want longer tread life and good year round traction
I just got my first set of Continental HT XL tires n my 2021 Toyota Tundra Platinum Crew Max. I had these tires installed in the middle of a snow storm. On my way in with my OEM Bridgestone Duelers HL’S. These tires are unbelievable, when I went in I had to be in 4x4 we got 12” today of wet heavy snow in Iowa. When I left the tire store I wanted to test these new ones out. I left in two wheel drive and never needed 4wd after. They stopped like I was on dry pavement while on 100% snow and ice covered roads. I run Blizzacks on my wife’s car that are a 100% snow rate tire. These perform just as well as an all season on my Tundra. I have never been happier and more impressed with a tire in my life and this is just a highway tire. What amazing tires.
Just replaced stock Michelins on my 2015 Grand Cherokee today. Was going to go with the Michelin Defender LTX but my tire guy put me on the Continental TerrainContact H/T. Haven't put a lot of miles on them, but they seem excellent thus far. I keep reading and hearing great things about them, found this video after I'd already had them put on lol. Have always felt General is a very under rated tire. I had Grabber AT's on a previous Jeep and absolutely loved them.
Nice. You will like them.
Hey, 1 year later would you buy the continental again? I'm stuck between that and the michelin. Thanks
Helpful, 👍 looking for new tyres for a Volvo awd that does get off the beaten track , had falken wildpeak before which I found to be quite noisy
Best tyre review channel on TH-cam by far, Excellent informative video's, Keep them coming.
Wow, thanks!
Only in USA can a fat guy talking about tires be seen as interesting.No testing,no measuring,no data, just opinions based on-what? Now go check "tyre reviewes" chanel.
Thanks for the great reviews
My pleasure!
Man thanks for the info! Had some Nexens on my 2013 Tahoe that crapped out on me. I’m sold on the Generals
After watching the Terrain Contact H/T dominate the competition in Wet, Dry and Snow handling over at the tire rack I decided to purchase them. Glad I did. The confidence they give in pouring rain is awesome. Did great last winter in light snow.
Nice! I’m not into HT tires because they are too focused on highway diving. but Continental makes amazing tires. I just picked up a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 which are true 4 season tires DWS stands for Dry Wet Snow so apparently they do well in the snow too. But they are fantastic so far but it being summer only gotten to test dry and wet and both have been nothing short of amazing.
My last set of tires were Michelin pilot sport I forget exact series, I wasn’t as impressed with them as some people are. Yea great summer tires but heavy wet conditions like massive downpours with lot of water on the road, they didn’t live up to the hype many reviewers spoke of and worthless in snow storms I had to actually make an emergency tire purchase last year during a snow storm because of how bad they were in the snow…
How's the road noise? That's my biggest concern for tires. My big SUV is my daily commuter and I do a lot of highway miles so silence is golden for me
@@nspring06 no complaints about Extremecontact DWS06 as of yet.. however if your SUV is heavier and larger you will want to look for XL rated tires (extra load), I believe ExtremeContact DWS series has XL rated tires to pick from. Alternatively look for L/T grade tires (light truck) if you do a lot of hauling and towing, not sure Extremecontact comes in L/T grade however.
Edit: only one word of warning about ExtremeContact DWS06, not anything bad, however they are Asymmetrical tread pattern, some people hate Asymmetrical tires for some reason.. this just means there is an inside and outside tire wall you have to be mindful of when mounting them on the rims one side is marked for outside and that side has to face out or it throws off your handling and messes with your alignment. but they can be rotated to any 4 corners as normally after mounted.. Asymmetrical tread patterns typically provide the best grip in adverse road conditions or extreme handling situations.
@@Getfuqqedfedboy Good to know, thanks for the info..
1 year later... do you still have them? Would you buy again?? Thx
Outstanding information!! Thank you for your opinion.
Glad it was helpful!
I learned so much in this video. Great job. The accent helped haha
Glad you liked it!
Beautiful garage and nice to-the-point video
Thank you kindly!
Great review. Thank you!
My pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it Yury!
I just bought the Michelins (for next spring) because I knew they are good, and were readily available. I've had the Generals before and I absolutely loved them for a year or so. Awesome in rain, smooth, quiet. But after maybe 30k miles they got really noisy. To the point where I had to get rid of them. By that time, they were wearing worse too and the ride was not nearly as good. Looking forward to the Michelins in the spring.
I was quite curious on trying the Firestones too because they looked promising.
I have the Michelin defender Ltx m/s on my 2018 Toyota 4Runner SR5 amd I love them. Haven’t taken them off road yet though.
Cool. You have a good set of tires.
I had a set of the cooper evolution HT put on my 06 crew cab 6.5ft F150 and I liked the ride, it was soft and quiet, but it felt like it was not enough tire for that truck and they picked up alot of rocks, I did however enjoy the wrangler tires that came on my 2010 f150 crew cab 5.5ft, could be quieter and softer but no real complaints and they took a real beating!
I also enjoy my Bridgestone dueler HL tires although they do not ride as soft nor as quiet on the highway as the coopers did and are not as stout as the wrangler. Right in the middle.
Very informative. I have Michelin Defender LTX/MS on my Chevy Colorado that I tow an RV with. Very satisfied with them, however I believe I'll go with the Conti TerrainContact H/T's next time. A newer design and a little easier on the pocket book.
That's the great thing about Conti. They are a premium tire with a reasonable price.
Here in Canada they are the same price
Great video and appreciate your content, what would you recommend for a Toyota Tacoma 4x4.
The Continental Terrain Contact AT or HT
I have a 2006 Honda pilot I just bought, the Bridgestone dueler h/l alenza plus tires on it are very loud.
Thinking of those Michelin tires
Michelin isn't what it used to be. I ran 2 sets of LTX M/S on my Expedition but they are just too expensive and the most I got was about 50k miles out of each set. What really killed Michelin for me was the Michelin Defenders on my Honda had a blow out at 80 mph on the interstate with less that 30k miles on them. The owner of the tire store told me the Defenders had been having problems so I bought Yokohama this time and so far very satisfied
Very imformative. I learned alot about tires.
Right on
Great video as always! I would like to see you do a review on the Firestone Destination Le3. I really like them for the price but im not sure how they would be in the snow
Noted!
Great review, I want that continental HT
Good choice.
This is my review on the tires I got from this video:
Vehicle: 2001 GMC Yukon XL
Tires: Continental Terrain Contact H/T
Size: 265/70R17 115T
Gas mileage: 11.3
Long story short:
I bought new tires due to my tires being 5 years old and around corners in the rain my truck would swing depending on how sharp I took the turn. Really at any speed (I tested it out lol) It would also slide a couple feet at an emergency/hard stop.
So I bought new ones before going to mammoth took em to mammoth and man these tires are grippy obviously not bulletproof but huge difference. In rain it’s great no swing with over 2klb of tools in the back or not and overall feel a lot more confidence with rain. Stopping dry or wet is a lot better as well. Highly recommend those and can’t wait to try the Michelin next time. Thank you for your great input and video I definitely feel they were worth every penny 🤝
Thanks for this video. Very helpful. Any recommendations for luxury SUVs. Needing to replace tires on my wife 2019 Cadillac Escalade 285/45/22. Light snow traction is important. Aesthetics are also very important. Mostly highway driving. I know the Alenzas are good but looking at other options. Thanks for all you do.
I would do the Michelin Defender LTX.
Loved it! Keep it coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Easy and clear to understand
Thank you
Glad to hear that
@@CampusautoCo
What are your thoughts
My brother put Conti LX 25
On 2016 Toyota RAV4
The terrain contact ht has some of the best traction in wet condition.My f250 was almost dangerous on wet pavement but the Terri’s. Contact solved this problem
Great content!! Love your reviews. What would you suggest for a 2017 mustang v6. My car has a bit of a rough ride. What tire would make for a smoother ride? I have 17" stock wheels...
Continental Extreme Contact DWS06+
Some great information! Looking for tires for my Silverado 3500 dually, looks like the General or Continental for hauling horses cross country. Thanks again!
Try the General Grabber HTS06
I bought a set of Michellin Defender tires for a 2017 Nissan Sentra years ago and they lasted a little over 90,000 miles. They tend to be quiet and smooth on the freeway. I was surprised at how long they lasted so I got another set of the same tires again. Although it's an expensive investment at the beginning it's still a good choice.
Ita expensive up front but they pay for themselves with how long they last. Shoot they are cheaper than the good year wranglers and last 2x as much.
@@Arellanog123 maybe I'm an exception as I've had 3 sets of wrangler duratracs between 2 vehicles one set has 85000 and the 2 on the other truck first set was the original factory installed duratracs were replaced at 68000 and the second set currently has 59000 and still has a little over half tread left
Could you do a more in depth comparison of the Michelin Defender LTX M/S and the Conntential Terraincontact H/T?
Good job thanks a lot you just help me to make a decision
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Thank you!
Pudes dar una explicación de la michellin agilis.
Es de trabajo y funcionan muy bien saludos, muy buena las descripciones que haces
???
Thanks for the review. I have a 2000 Ram 2500 that came with Michelin's. That's what i always replaced them with and I was always happy. But the last time i decided to save a little money and went with the Yokohama's. While they gave good service i was never happy about what i considered excessive noise. I always thought i would go back to the Michelin, but since the truck is no longer a daily driver i really couldn't see spending the extra 3 to 4 hundred dollars. Just yesterday a had a set of General Grabber HTS60's installed. Very glad you hold them in such high regard. Hopefully they will give me several years of quality service.
You should be happy with your selection.
Great Tips, Good Stuff👍🏿😄
Appreciate it!
Finally after countless website searches, other TH-cam a video has the two tires I'M considering for My RWD Silverado. My local tire shop sold me Cooer Discover AT3 look like mud tires the truck has more of soft bouncy ride, the Discover HY were lot better ride more of controlled.
Any tire on this video would work for you. Pick one you can get a good deal on.
Thanks for the great videos.
Which one of these is the most quiet and comfortable?
The Michelin then the Conti
Hi Matt great video!! What tire would you recommend for a 1998 extended cab Dodge Ram with Cummins engine and pull a 32’ travel trailer about 8000 lbs was looking at the grabber hts 60. Had nexans on it for a short time big mistake to much tire tread squible. Let me know what you think. Than you
Another great video! I love all the great tire info in your videos. These videos really help people become educated consumers. My wife thinks it is funny I get excited for these tire videos. Looking for tires for a 2 wheel drive 2014 tundra. Would you go with Contential Terrain Contact AT or Hankook AT2?
Continental Terrain Contact AT
Just wondering if you have reviewed the Sumitimo Enconter HT? I looking for HT for my 2016 Tacoma. I am leaning towards General or Continental due to your video. But was looking for black wall tires.. Thank you for your informant video..
Thanks for the videos, I learn a lot here. I don't think the ribs on the side are for cornering or stability however. Continental and others refer to those as sound barriers, or noise blockers. The Michelin does not use this technology. I prefer the Michelin for this, as I just feel there could be more mud and snow traction without those sound barriers, but I'm not sure it is a better design for traction or not. I doubt the Continental has stone ejectors. Continental sometimes puts small ribs at the bottom of the tread, they refer to them as 'traction grooves' meant to provide a bit more traction. I don't know if that would work or not, but maybe.
Thanks for video. Thoughts on LT275/65/18 E Michelin Defender M/S’s?
Thanks
Very informative video. I have defender ltx on our family suv. I have dedicated winters for winter season. My question is, will AT tires such as General ATs or K02s diminish dry and wet handling - braking and cornering - compared to those of Defender ltx?
You might see a little difference but the AT tires will have more traction.
Your review is great. Ive been knocking my brains out trying to figure out what to put on my Nissan Frontier Pro4X. I want a quiet hwy tire that wears well. Which of these would you recommend.
The Continental Terrain Contact AT or HT
@@CampusautoCo thx
Just found your videos and watched a few of them. I’ve not seen you compare Toyo’s in your videos.
Sir, very informative. In your opinion which one for a 2016 Taurus Limited Highland. We now drive about 9K miles a year. Also, live in warm weather climate of SE North Carolina. Again, very good information. Be safe.
What would you guys recommend on a Jimny? Mostly for city driving done by the misus. But our city roads have lots of potholes. The stock Bridgestone dueler h/t are on 60k kms already and I'm researching on what to get next. Focusing on road safety esp rainy conditions and driving comfort. Any info appreciated! Tnks!
Great comparison. Your knowledge and experience validate your reviews.
I appreciate that!
Very good video. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
There are a few things I loathe as an adult. Buying a new vehicle, buying light bulbs and buying tires 😂 are definitely in the top 5. I've been researching tires for my 18 Silverado and 17 Pacifica and I'm almost at the point of insanity. This guy's video has significantly made my task that much easier! Thank you, Great video!
I am happy to hear I am not the only one who suffers from these things.
Well said.
What tire did you buy?
@@utahnick i got the Cooper Discoverer a/t snow flake rated which is a big difference from the all season stock tires i had. of course we have gotten little to no freaking snow this winter lol. they are decent for the highway but definitely louder than all season. not annoying but it is notable while driving 65-75mph. i KInd of wish i went with all season now. lost about 1 mpg too. though im due for an air filter so im hoping i get back to 17.7 mpg cause 16-16.7 down from 19mpg 3 years ago is starting to suuuuuuck. 2018 silverado v8 i was getting a solid 19mpg the first 2 years.
oh my god and wouldn't you know it! Town fair tire f**ked up on my truck. my steering wheel was off by 15 friggin degrees when it was dead centered prior to them "aligning" the truck. And all my tires were out of balance LMFAO im driving home and there was such a bad wobble i felt like i was going up and down and side to side! my stomach actually got upset. So pissed i had to go back a 2nd time and wait for another hour. And god dammit they f**ked me again! my front left tire has a leak :() losing 8psi in 6 to 7 days. im now going to my local shop to have them fix the tire and ill be tearing Town fair tire a new assho in my google review which they will get. i knew i was going to regret TFT . getting the wifes tires at sullivan tire if they f**k up then im never getting tires again lol ill just buy a new vehicle.
Buying a house is a pain.
Great video! I have a 2022 Ford F350 4 x 4 with 18 x 8 wheels. They currently have the continental tires that came mounted from the factory and I am looking to replace them with a set of Michelin defender. M/S. Can you tell me if the LTX 295/70 R 18 will fit properly on my factory 18 x 8 wheels. I have a Carli suspension system on my truck and I plenty of room for a 295. I should mention that this truck will be doing 90% highway miles roughly 8 to 9% towing a fifth wheel weighing 14,000 pounds and the rest possibly off-road.
Thanks again for a great review and your opinion would be greatly appreciated
Going with the General Grabber on my F150. Thank you.
Right on!
Thank you, this is perfect!
Glad you like it!
What would you recommend for Chevy Silverado 2018 thank you ,great video!!
Continental Terrain Contact AT or HT
What do you recommend for a 2018 Silverado 1500 4wd has the 20" factory wheels? 80% highway driving but I'm an equipment operator, and drive through some serious stuff on job sites also.
Great video! Could you kindly give a recommendation for a 2011 Ford Escape, FWD only? I'm leaning towards the General.
I think the General would be a good choice.
Great video. I have a 14 Silverado Crew Cab. It has 275/55 20s. I tow a 20ft camper 3 or 4 times a year. Just highway to state parks and then back and forth to work. I was looking at the Michelins, but in your opinion which would be the best? I'm open for suggestions, I have a couple weeks till I buy tires.
Any chance you could do an update on this to include the Goodyear Wrangler Fortitude HT?
I like Michelin and my son over this past year has the Coopers and likes them so far.
How do we figure out best size and rating for hauling, multi surface capable, good rain? I have Generals E rated now 2dr 2wd f350 6.7L. Thank you for what you do.
Matt, you are a cool dude that I really enjoy listening to and you’ve taught me a ton about tires. Question for you…besides cost how do I decide between the Defender LTX M/S and the Terrain Contact HT? I have a new GMC 3500HD single rear wheel, and spend 95% of my time on the road. I live in Michigan where we get snow and ice on and off during the Winter. In the Summer I pull a 8k pound travel trailer 8-12 times. Otherwise it’s my daily driver. I should add that I’ve had a few sets of the Michelins and I know how awesome they are. How do I choose?
Go with what works. If you have had good luck with Michelin, stick with it.
Just ordered a set of Terraincontact HTs for my Yukon. Tire rack had them rated as one of the best for ride comfort and noise and the description said the connectors on the shoulder blocks were for noise reduction which is what I'm looking for. That plus a 70k mile treadwear warranty what more could you ask for. Hope it lives up to it's hype, really want something comfortable and quiet without compromising grip or longevity.
How do you like them? Do you just drive city/highway or did you get them for towing? I wont tow just need a good AS tire that can handle PA snow. Would love to hear how quiet and comfortable it is.
Keep me posted.
