Without a doubt in my mind, the best overall tire for performance, noise levels, ability to hold the road at any speed in any kind of weather, comfort and handling.....cost is excellent for such an amazingly quiet and comfortable ride.

I purchased a set of these tires a month ago. They do not ride smooth and they are noisy. They sound like I am driving a pick up truck with off road tires.

Bought these tires almost 7 months ago, these tires have been very good in all weather. Here in Illinois, we get all types of weather from snow and ice to wet and dry. I have never once had a problem in the snow either. I do recommend

4 months and 3000 kms after, all I can say is ....great choice! They are solid in heavy rain plus I noticed that my Economy improved a lot. Those tires are made with performance and longevity in mind. Well worth it is the bottom line.

I researched tires for my 2013 Mazda3 and came to the many good reviews for the Defender 2. After driving around town, I can feel the difference between my OEM tires and the Defender 2. Definitely a lot less noise!

I just got 4 Defener 2 installed today, but obviously, it's a very quiet tire. The noise level is even lower than my old tire, almost bald. On the road, I can only hear the tire noise from the car on my next lane.

Straight away, I'm impressed with these tires. It's far too soon to make any judgement in terms of longevity, but the ride quality and the quietness is superb.

Purchased three weeks ago. They ride Smooth and quietly. Gas mileage is the same. Did not worsen. Wet braking, dry braking both good but good brakes and driving at reasonable speeds in a rain storm has more to with braking than new tires.

Been on my car since April 2024. They handle Quebec roads, so they can be good anywhere. Smooth, quiet and amazing confident feeling when I was caught in heavy rain on two occasions

I've had these tires on my 2011 traverse for 7 years and still have decent tread on them, gonna buy another set when needed. nice quiet tire good traction in all weather here in Michigan.
