Loud

I bought in April. They are advertised as quiet but we're as loud as my winter tires. I suffered all summer thinking they may get better but did not. I will rate them in next spring and hope Michelin will help.

No buyer's remorse

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.

Best tire for overall comfort and stability

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.

Quiet tire, hopefully it will be durable.

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.

So disappointed!

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.
