Reliable as hell, I found one negative but it's mostly my opinion. The tires are great but I believe it can be excellent. I wanted to swap out the tires with Michelen Cross Climate 2 tires for crazy grip in rain.
Defender2 hands-down. Michelin reports an honest UTQG. Those tires will last.
Michellines are much better tires in general. I've had great experiences with them vs. Goodyear and Firestone.
Michelins are cheaper to run because overall they last longer both in mileage and cracking. $ per mile much cheaper.
I went with the Michelin Defender 2 on my last set, and now I totally get why they’re so popular. The ride is super quiet and smooth—even on rough pavement—and they’ve been wearing incredibly well. I’m already past 40,000 miles with plenty of tread left, so I believe the 80,000-mile warranty is legit. Wet traction has been solid too, and I feel confident driving in all kinds of weather.
3rd set of Defenders on mine. Such a quiet and great handling all season tire.
I got them today from Costco. I drove like 100 miles after installation, mostly at high speed. These tires are impressive in every aspect, specially comfort and handling
I'm not sure about the noise. I feel they are a bit more noisy of the rough parts of the freeway. More noisy than my older Michelin.
I have not experienced any particular issues with my Toyos (2020 signature), but changed them to CC2s last week after 38,000 miles and a nail. OMG, like having a completely new car -- no cabin noise, float over road bumps, and braking is dramatically better. Can't wait for the snow to fall.
I'm on my second set. I drive a 2011 Outback and live i. The Chicagoland area. I've noticed that wet and dry driving is great. No noise. But in the snow, while turning, the car likes to plow. I'm not a fan of them in the wintertime.
Granted I needed an alignment, my front Goodyear wrangler all terrains only lasted
15,000 miles, won't be buying them again
