Although it's too early to comment on the tire's wear, was using Yokohama Geolanders before the Michelins and the immediate difference felt would be the improvement in steering response. The car felt more "alive" and there's greater confidence for spirited driving. Noise levels also improved although not by much while the Michelins are generally more comfortable. Driving under wet conditions was satisfactory with so far no aquaplaning and twitching (the Yokos were less effective under wet conditions and twitched several times through corners). Generally a recommended all weather tire from a renowned heritage.
