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.

I bought four of the Defender 2 tires and will be putting them on for the third summer season within the next two weeks. They are still in perfect shape with lots of seasons left in them!

I am completely satisfied with my purchase. The difference from my yokahama is 10 fold and regret not buying sooner. Do yourself a solid and make this your next tire.

The tires have been fantastic. Nice smooth ride and I feel very safe in the car. These tires were the right selection for what I wanted on my small SUV.

I bought these tires a few months ago and immediately noticed a difference in the extra feel and response when driving and braking. Even after a few months the tires provide great traction and feel when driving on various terrains.

Love them,

great in the snow so far

great ride, very quite
