Those tires are amazing, they go through puddles like there’s nothing
I live in CT and I had them on my Subaru WRX before I sold it. IMHO Best tires for a 4 season ever. My mom has them on her Volvo, my sister has it on her Toyota and my BIL has it on his Acura.
It's now been a full year with mine. Loved them in the winter. Loved them in the summer.
Michelins defender platinum.
Never look back. Quieeeeet and long lasting. Great rain performance.
Have about 5k on the Michelins after 55K on General Grabbers. As far as quiet goes, the Michelins are definitely quieter (and I think smoother) than the Generals.
I had defenders on my old truck and they last forever.
I drive heavy snow in the winter and logging roads in the summer. I found the stock Michelins hold up really well, and are extremely quiet without slipping in dirt or snow. The tires just don't look like they should work as well as they do.
I run these to get to ski resorts from denver on cold ass winter mornings. Good tire
I am not disputing that RWD is better than FWD during acceleration or climbing a hill on a car with 50:50 weight distribution and I did say that I had a hard time putting the power down with only 120hp in my e-Golf. This being said, on the move, I am not sure that RWD would be better for changing direction without immediate oversteer (fun at low speed, no so much on the highway).
Those tires came on my RAV4 and were garbage. Lasted 35K before I got new ones. After changing to new tires it made me realize how awful those were. They ride like shit, are loud and wear very fast. Won’t even buy a Dunlop tire again.
