"For my passenger cars, handling and low noise are really the only things that matter to me. I have used a few different brands/models in the past, and I can say with 110% certainty these Michelin Defender 2 tires are without any question the very best for those 2 criteria.<br> <br> The handling is so good that our car literally drives like a different vehicle. With regard to road noise, there is basically none.<br> <br> I like these tires better than ANY I have ever used in the past, and I will put these on every vehicle in the future unless Michelin comes out with something better." - Deland, FL

Great replacement for factory tires on a 23 CR-V, it even quieted down the Honda's noisy ride and definitely smoothed it out.
