Ok, so I know many are discussing tires. I just purchased set of four new defenders for my EX. With about 30 miles on them so far, I am impressed. I bought a set for my wifes Dodge Magnum and ride excellent, wondered if they would be too stiff for EX, not so, handles excellent. Will report more later. Just my TWO cents!

I also have the Defenders on my 2012 EX Sedan. I keep mine at 38 PSI to reinforce the sidewalls just a little better. Absolutely fantastic ride, and very quiet to boot.

What a great tire. Michelins have never disappointed me, I ran Primacy MXV4s on my 2010 EX Sedan as well. They feel about the same to me, but the Defenders are a little cheaper, have a slightly softer sidewall for better ride comfort, and of course a much longer warranty period.
