We are very pleased with the Michelin Defender 2 tires that we just purchased for our Ford Escape Titanium. This vehicle is a medium sized SUV so it is light and has turbo so it is quick to respond to changes in speed or direction. Consequently, we are concerned about the tires ability to be stable on windy highways and grip the road at higher speeds and when turning corners especially in wet weather. Since this is early spring and winter road damage has not yet been repaired, they are surprisingly smooth when going over rough roads and occasional potholes and uneven roads. They are also well priced for this level of performance.

Defender 2 tires are great!

I had to get new tires for my Wife’s Elantra. The Cooper CS5 tires that I had put on the car 4/5 years ago had finally gone past the point of no return. The Michelin Defender 2’s have been a great addition. So far the traction has been great considering the snow we’ve had lately. The road noise on dry pavement isn’t too bad. I’ve had other tires a little quieter, but overall not bad. Time will tell how long they will last though. It will take a few years to get the mileage racked up.

Excellent Tires.

I bought this 'set of four' Michelin Defender2 Tires for my 2008 Nissan Sentra S 4-door sedan.  {Which I bought brand new in 2008.}  At 2 years I replaced the factory tires with these Michelin tires [ then, faithfully a set of four-at-a-time, thereafter, as needed]. The grip and stability excel in wet OR dry highway driving.  Saved me in a few highway "near-misses --THANK GOD!"   For an ole lady in a 17+1/2-year-old-car,  they rocked-my-socks, in traction during this historic Feb 22 to 24, 2026 Bomb-Cyclone/Blizzard.  The leftover snow from the January storm, in my Southeast Massachusetts town became frozen.  And the Blizzard dumped another 20+ inches; that covered my Black Sentra; parked in between two other vehicles.  After I cleaned the snow, {which had even blown into my tailpipe} cleared snow from the two driver's-side tires & driver's door; clear enough from above the front bumper I was able to climb over the snow pack piled in front of my car.  [ Utilizing the ole foot-on-the-brake, inch back & forth 2 or 3 times, until I felt those Defender's grip.  Then it was smooth & steady going.  I highly recommend these tires; and suggest rotation to extend the wear & durability -- which will extend their life!

Bomb-Cyclone / Historic New England Blizzard : NO PROBLEM!

If you are looking for new tires for your Ford Edge or any vehicle, I highly recommend the MICHELIN DEFENDER 2. I hated the way my car sounded when I drove. Coming from a Cadillac CTS, the Edge has loud road noise. I needed new tires and spent the extra money and got the Michelins. Totally changed the ride of the car!!! So smooth and quieter. Feels like a new car! You will not be disappointed!

Best Tires! Smooth and Quiet!

I replaced the original tires on my Honda CRV with Michelins. Cannot be happier. My dealer had a sale price on the set , plus I got an eighty dollar rebate!  The old tires were loud on all surfaces. The  Michelins are quiet and ride so much better. Plus I expect double the tire wear.

So quiet!

I have been a user of Michelin tires in my primary vehicles for at least 25 years. I have tried other popular and "best-selling" tires in my secondary cars but never achieved the satisfaction with wear, overall handling and traction as I did with the Michelin tires. Since moving north to a climate with more snow three years ago, I now use Michelin Tires exclusively and am very pleased with my decision.

Make Mine Michelin

Michelin Primacy MXV4s were the tires replaced by these.  The biggest difference between the two is that the Defender 2s are much better in rain, snow, and slush, which is the reason I got them.  My biggest concern was that they would be louder on the highway and they are not.  The MXV4 is a fine tire, but these make my car more capable in bad weather.

Capability In Bad Weather

hope tires hold up ,   had aset of these on my 2021 equinox and had 30000 miles on them and would not pass state inspection because od unusual tire wear !   had alignment done and was told alignment was ok ! contacted michelin about this and they said nothing could be done because i was second owner of car !!!!!!

Bought 4 replacement tires for my 2017 Rav4,  tires are just as noisy as my original OEM tires.  Was hoping for quieter ride, but the same.  Set pressure to 32 psi, but no difference.  My winter Michelins are quieter,  Defenders are a harder rubber with gives them longer life, but increase road noise.

TIRES ARE OK BUT HAVE ROAD NOISE

I am very disappointed with the Michelin Defender 2.  The 4 tires are rated for 80,000 miles.  However, I am experiencing uneven wear (feathering) on al 4 tires at 12,000 miles.  I have documentation to prove I have been aligning my tires at Firestone since the tires were purchased new.  The shocks and struts are new on my vehicle.  However, I am experiencing noisy tires, and the roads feel bumpy all the time.
