Don’t waste your money
The worst. Purchased the 225/65R17 for my Honda CRV on 04/18/2022 with 134,223 miles on it and only 27,530 later at 161,753 miles they are worn. This is just back and forth to work here in Southern California and I have always had them dealer rotated and I am a stickler of keeping the correct cold tire pressure suggested by Honda at 30psi ( And I always check as cold pressure which the vehicle has not been in operation for several hours not at a gas station when vehicle has been driving which most people have no clue that’s not when you check your tire pressure). I have routine alignment checks etc. etc. The tires are not worn unevenly from any alignment issues at all. The tread is just evenly worn down and these are supposed to be 80,000 mile rated? Give me a break! Not even close and I should have just spent my money on cheaper tires and I would have gotten the same mileage from them.

We’ve driven lots of miles on Defenders
Bought in Jan 2022 for Chrysler mini-van. Have driven 75,000 (mostly highway) miles on them. Happy with them. Drive smoothly and good in rain. Don’t know if I would say excellent in the rain, but definitely would give them a good. I think noise is average for this vehicle. Have had several versions of Michelin Defender tires on multiple mini-vans.

Worst Tire I've used. Bought my car brand new with these tires and one was dry rot. These tires are nail magnetic.
