Tires MICHELIN or MRF
I just got them. I really like them. They are quiet and handle really well. On my way home every day, I have to make a left hand up hill. You have to be pretty quick because the visibility is pretty bad. My old tires would occasionally spin up while turning. The Defenders act like nothing has changed.
i got the defenders about 500 miles ago and like them.
the ride is more comfortable and i like the look. i do hear a little bit of road noise, but assuming i get close to the life i’m supposed to from them, it’ll be worth it.
Only I know how I managed to use these tyres for 17000 kms. Got the rear tyre changed with MRF RevZ radials as soon as the tyre wore out and it’s been a huge difference. Leaning on corners has also become way easier now.
I was actively avoiding driving with the Kinergys if rain was predicted. Hated to dump almost new tires but first rain test the other night with the Michelins and they were amazing.
Look into the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4. Great tire and better tread wear.
I ride on Michelin Cross climates and really like em. Spendy but I live in a place that gets lots of snow so worth it for me personally
Well you get what you pay for in tires. Chinese tires I get 1 season out of (I drive a lot) name brand such as Michelin 3 years. Name brand rides better, quieter, wear better.
I'm glad. I got tires for my suv for 130$ a tire and they are going strong 4 years later. Last set i had on the same car were Michelin for 210$ per and they wore out after 3 years.
There are a lot of excellent tires in that size. And honestly, the Defender is a mediocre tire anyway.
I just had to get mine replaced after only a little over 17k miles. Now I run Michelin Pilot all season tires.
