Have had the defenders. They’re great tires. Just couldn’t handle the donut look so I got Nitto ridge grapplers that I hate. Thinking of going with the Coopers next. But I’m not sure anything can beat the defenders for road driving.
Rain season. This is awesome tire when ride in down hill GA. Handle in rain condition is best with this tire. A little road noice worth in my Tesla Model 3. Safety come first. Rain and slight snow. This tire is outperformed than it advertised.
Ok, I was actually glad when my snow tires wore out a year ago, because then I got these awesome tires:
235/65R18 106V Michelin Crossclimate 2 BW
Having driven with both a dedicated snow tire and these they drive exactly the same & I drive in serious blizzards.
Goodyear wrangler duratracs came on mine, I liked them for my first a/t tires. 30k right now, I feel like they could go to 50k but unfortunately there is a nail right on the line of the repairable area in one tire.
Mine lasted 49k was trying to hold off until 50k but the front right was starting to lose small pieces of rubber and had started to vibrate and was getting really loud. Got the Goodyear Workhorse AT on sale at Sam’s Club. I think they are not louder than stock
These tires do appear stop well and provide better driving across wet roadways. I don’t get a chance to really drive them on snow where I live. But plenty of chances for Rain. Which is why I bought them.
NASCAR teams sell used Goodyears, and Formula drift teams give them out too.
If you do any winter weather driving or off road, the Goodyear wrangler authority are my top pick for all terrains that wear very well, aren’t to noisy and perform very well.
Michelin had 2 models in the Pilot series - Sporty and Street Radial. The Street Radial was excellent, while the Indian made Sporty was horrible.
They’re absolutely terrible in the snow. I switched to Michelin CrossClimate 2’s.
