Great performance in rain and snow
Review for Michelin Defender T-H 205/60R16 92H BSW
"We've had a pretty mild winter here this year. But, the few times I've had to deal with wet or snowy roads have been a non-issue with these tires. I hit the brakes on snow, just to test them, and it was almost like being on barely wet pavement. These were well worth the investment. So far, the best all weather tires I've owned."
