Default Michelin Defender for OBW?

I was just about ready to get a set of Hydroedge 225/60r16 tires, when one tire store recommended the new (they said) Defender. Same price, 90,000 mile warranty. Tirerack has a few reviews, but no numbers. UTQG is 820AB. Has anyone had experience with these?

These just came out. Think they are replacing the Harmony and Hydroedge tires. The look decent.

I just made a post about these here: Any takers on the Michelin Hydro-Edge!

These do indeed seem to be replacing the Hydroedge. I am giving them serious consideration.
