Terrible rain performance

These tires are absolute garbage in the rain after 3 months. Whatever changed from previous defenders they should go back to. I tried with 90+ percent treadwear to have them warrantied and the credit offered was insulting. I have used defenders for ages but Michelin has lost me as a customer for life. Bas bad as the OE Hankook tires in civics. Never again. Premium price for awful wet performance.

You get what you pay for.

My Explorer rides very smooth and quite. Handling is very good.

Disappointing tire purchase

Tires are under the 80K mile warranty. Tires are leaving black tread material on driveway.
