Glad I chose Michelin defender!

Michelin defenders on my equinox are extremely quiet! I don’t have to turn the radio up. Very quiet, very comfortable and seem to handle really well.

Smooth riding replacements

We had to replace the original equipment Dunlaps on our Rav4 following a highway hazard that left one of the tires unrepairable after about 45,000 miles. The Dunlaps were not readily available in our area and were much higher priced if you could get them. I believe these Michelin's are smoother riding than the Dunlaps, are better priced, and should wear better.
