Pirelli Cinturato WeatherActive 

I put 15 inch wheels on my 2024 Civic Sport to replace the overkill 18s that came from the factory. Got these 205/65r15s from Costco. These are an improvement in every way that matters to me. A little quieter, better wet traction, MUCH better fuel economy than the goodyear eagle sports. With 11k mostly highway miles they have worn down by about 1.5 32nds from 10.5 to 9. They are good tires and I'm happy with them but they are quite pricey and I will be experimenting with less expensive tires next time.

These are my second set of this tire on this vehicle. First set got over 100,000 miles. Very good wet weather traction here on the Gulf Coast. As the tire wears down it even gets better.

I bought these after getting multiple recommendations for Michelin Tires as long lasting tires. What I didn't expect is that the Defenders would serve as the best all around tire there is. Long life, these tires after 3 years and 25000 miles look the same as the day they were put on. Excellent traction in dry, wet and snow, even deep snow in a rather low vehicle. I have only gotten stuck with these tires because the snow was too deep that is beached the vehicle, not a tire issue. They are quiet and the car feels smooth going down the road. Only gripes are I think I lost 1 mpg and they are a bit pricey, but for how long they last, they do make up for it in not paying to new tire installation often. All around, I cannot recommend the Defender series tires enough for on-road use, off-road might be a different story, but no other tire does everything so well for a somewhat reasonable price.

great tire ,wears well ,no problem ,rain ,snow, deep snow ,or any wet conditions performs as I exspected I will buy these tires again

In long sweeping decreasing radius curves I can get enough speed up to push the car into a four wheel slide, but these tires are stuck to the road so firmly that it takes this kind of 60 mph speed in a short radius curve to finally get them to slide. The dry traction is nothing short of unbelievable. And when they finally do get pushed into sliding traction, they only lose a small amount of adhesion to the road, making vehicle control as easy as when they're in non-sliding mode. I routinely push the car to autocrossing cornering loads, because it's just plain exhilarating to whip the car around like driving on a autocrossing course. The tires rarely get pushed hard enough to slide, and it's easy to maintain control. The traction of these tires make me a far better driver than I actually am. Wet traction is just as impressive, they grip to a point that I've never experience before with any other tire I've driven on in 50 years of driving. Nothing but the highest praise for these tires. I wonder if so called performance tires could do any better. My thanks to Michelin for their excellence in tire design, construction, and accurate manufacturing. Well worth the price, I'm putting them on all my vehicles as they need tire replacements.

Great comfortable quiet easy driving tire. Had them for 6 and a half years and we got 77,000 miles out of them. There are a lot of nice tires out there and this is one of the best. They are very worn down and have some dry rot but they survived Florida for over 6 years and 77000 miles. Thank you Michelin !

These came on my car from the dealer. At first I was like nice Michelins. I have now driven the car for a year with these tires and boy are they bad in the wet and snow traction is worse then the UHP summer tires on my BMW e30. They are very comfortable and quiet on the highway, they get great gas milage. They are vague at best on the limit. Driving backroads, which i do often, these tires do little to communicate what is going on. Having grown up in western NY I'm accustom to driving in the snow and ice, the little we get in Eastern Maryland these tires could not cope with. They were down right dangerous with any amount of wet, add cold to that and I'm shocked they can label these tires all season. now having to replace one as it is dry rot and chunking off the side wall. Thankfully it is on the dealers dime because they are far to expensive for what they deliver. In the future I will not be going with these tires in fact these have soured me on Michelins altogether.

These tires are quiet and handle great. I've had many sets of Michelins and they never disappoint. I've tried some other brands to save a few bucks, and I've always been disappointed. It pays to spend the little extra for the comfort, safety and longevity.

These are my go-to tires. This is the 4th set I have owned. The treadwear, warranty and reliability are superb. This set of Defenders replaced OEM Bridgestone Ecopias, that were worse than terrible. The Michelins provided a much better ride, along with big improvement on wet, snow and ice.

I will buy Defenders again and highly recommend them.
