I had the Defenders on the Grand Cherokee I previously drove and have the T/A Sports on my Subaru Ascent. These are both similar sized vehicles to your Equinox.
That said, if you only need two years, there are lots of choices. Do some shopping on Discount Tire Direct's website...or Tire Rack if you prefer. (I buy from Costco so it's Michelin, Bridgestone or BFG, but with lifetime rotation/balancing/road hazard)

At Discount Tire the BFG Advantage T/A Sport tire is about $40 cheaper per tire vs the Michelin I have now.
Would you still go with the Michelin or you happy with the BFG?
