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. Steven Brower

I think the writing is on the wall for 14 inchers so I am looking at the GoWesty 16 inch alloys. 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. > > Thanks > Jeff > > Sent from my iPhone |
