It's too soon to comment on durability however with the recent heavy snow falls in Toronto, the Defender 2 tires were the best performing all season tires we have had to date.

I had 4 Defender XL with 20k miles. Great tire, however I had road hazard on 2. Because I have AWD all 4 needed to be replaced. Since I had the Defender tires before I stayed with the Defenders

These are true all-weather tires. Excellent traction for their first winter driving on ice and snow. If they live up to their expected life--80k miles, they'll be a great value

Not sure where the outstanding ride quality reviews come from. Placed these on a Kia Telluride and the ride quality is noticeably rougher. The vehicle always appears to sway back and forth and you feel every bump.

I love the tires. It snowed about 6 inches and didn't have any trouble at all. The tires are very quiet and the ride is very smooth. I'm getting ready to purchase another set for my other vehicle.

I bought these tires in November, just in time for winter. They handle very well in the snow, have had no issues navigating snowy roads. When the roads have been dry (no snow on them), they grip the road well. Happy with my purchase.

This is the second set of these ties I have bought , now I have 2 cars with them ,, great tire , if I had known how awesome they were years ago I'd have been riding on them sooner , quality , value , and great ride.

my commute is 90+ miles one way , love the quiet ride, great in the rain and snow , love the long life as well cost saver over the long haul

Would be nice if you list Puerto Rico in your drop down for registration. Have to use my home state of Idaho.

With these tires, there is less road noise, the ride is smoother, and it seems that the steering is more precise.
