Noticed quieter & smoother ride immediately but that may just be the difference between my Hankook's with 5/32” tread vs. these with 10.5/32” tread.

Great tires for my vehicle. Great traction on the roadway.

Sturdy good grip on wet pavement and muddy ground. Handles well.

The Defender 2 tires are great tires for my Toyota Camry LE. They have good braking and traction.

Great braking, cornering, traction and treadwear.

The noise level is pretty high. Highway speed is the worst.

These tires have excellent performance

well... I just had 4 of them put on my car. Hard to say anything yet.

Solid tire with good ride. Just put a set on my daughters car.

So far it has been a great riding and performing tire as Michelin has been in the past.
