Testing Standard Touring All-Season Tires 2022

Standard Touring All-Season tires focus on delivering day-in, day-out reliability and longevity. The two benchmark performers we use in this test, the Goodyear Assurance MaxLife and Continental TrueContact Tour, are no exception. We challenge the two well-regarded tires against the latest Standard Touring All-Season tire from Michelin, the Defender2. The Defender2 boasts technologies that heavily promote smooth, even treadwear and a durable compound focused on long life. How will the newcomer stack up against two tires that have proven their place in the category?
