Tires MICHELIN or Nokia

I have Michelin Defender 2s on my Civic, and they're great. I'm in North Carolina, so I get loads of rain. I had them on my old Cruze, too, and they were the best part of that car. They still had decent tread left after 50,000 miles when I sold it.

Still on my stock tires for my Outback but I have Defender 2s on a RAV4 hybrid. Not the same car, I know, but they have been so awesome in wet conditions. No issues with hard braking either. The tread also wears extremely well.

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.

I love my Nokian. They handle outstanding on the highway at highway speeds (70 mph) no complaints here.

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

Careful with Michelin model numbers as they are confusing and people often buy ones they didnt intend

My problem with Michelin is the tires are just too soft, they wear a lot faster than some of the tougher tire brands
