I got the Michelin defenders on 15” alloy wheels from go westy- they seem to be wearing- I’m not that happy with them. I have gotten two flats so far, and only really been driving on them since the spring. One flat was a sharp metal object- might not have penetrated something like a general grabber- and the other was a sidewall tear from a curb- definitely not expected. Anyway I’m not sure if my dissatisfaction is justified but I’m going with some heavier tires next time.

They sell them with Michelin Defenders but don’t specify which model. Anyone have any feedback on the Defenders or any others? I am looking for good highway mileage primarily.
