Traction or Road Noise

235/40R19/XL(Extra Load): I recently switched to the Michelin Defender 2 tires from the Primacy MXM4s (~5 years, 45k miles). While I've only driven a single, nearly 200-mile trip, the difference in performance is quite noticeable. The most positive aspect is the improved traction and control. The torque transfer feels much better, leading to a more responsive acceleration compared to the Primacy tires. The trade-off, however, is the noticeable increase in road noise, particularly at speeds around 80. It's a significant difference compared to the quieter Primacy experience. I am hopeful that the enhanced durability and potential tread life (80k miles company warranty) will ultimately make the Defender 2 a worthwhile change.

Disappointed

I came here and read reviews and was impressed because I wanted a quiet and smooth ride in my 2024 Nissan Rogue. These are both IMPORTANT issues because my career requires daily travel. I am so DISAPPOINTED. The ride is rough and Road noise is horrible. I'm returning to dealer tomorrow to see what can be done. Ive had them two weeks.

    Living Up to Well-earned Reputation

    7000 mile history with this set of Michelin Tires - Have been impressed with low road noise something I highly value and have not always experienced in other premium tier lines. Most have been satisfactory when new and I consider these Michelins still new given only 7000 miles on them.

    Replaced original equipment tirres on our Subaru Outback. These tires were recommended by our service people and I think they gave us good information. They seem to ride smoother and quieter than original tires and if the expected treadwear is as we were informed we will be extremely happy with them. I feel that they are a great tire for the price.

    Nothing but Michelins

    I have been driving Michelin tires exclusively for more than 40 years with nothing but praise for their quality and performance. So it made this choice of tire purchase pretty simple. We now have several thousand miles on this set of tires and they are performing exactly as expected.
