We just put six of the Michelin Defenders on our F350. The Michelins replaced General Grabbers with about 40K miles on them. The Grabbers still had lots of tread and performed very well but, at 7 years old, they were aging out. I can't really tell any difference in handling with the change. The main thing I've noted is that the Defenders have a more open tread (good for rain, etc.) that tends to pick up larger pieces of gravel, etc., from parks and campgrounds... and then throw them in the wheel wells as we approach highway speed. Not a big deal, though. I'm very happy with the Defenders - but the Goodyears are good tires, too.
