I live in Edmonton where the temperature can get to -40 C and the previous manufacturers tire sidewall broke in the cold weather.
The tires are good and I have had them before unfortunately the previous installation was another manufacturer because there was no availability of the defender. I do mostly pavement driving but also some off road driving and this tire handles both conditions well.
Very noisy not impressed for the price of the tire

So quiet. So smooth. So reliable in rain and snow.
These are the quietest and smoothest tires that I have ever owned. And they seem to work very well in the rain and snow as well.

Michelin #1
Excellent ride, traction, handling with no road noise. Smooth ride in all road conditions. Would recommend to all drivers
Great Deal
Great price for a great tire. Run quieter than my previous tires. Very happy with purchase.
2nd set purchased and not disappointed
The ride and handling does not disappoint
Quiet and durable !
I replaced my original Bridgestone Dueler tires om my 21 Ford Ranger with these as I had two sets on a previous F150. They are so good in rain, and moderate snow that I sometimes don't even use four wheel drive until hitting the deep unloved areas . They are quieter and grip quite well even in heavy rain storms ! My third set, so plenty of confidence in handling and treadlife .
