EXCELLENT TIRE!
NEW MICHELIN DEFENDER 2 TIRES TO REPLACE THE LEAST WANTED OEM BRAND :(, THAT CAME WITH THE RAV4 BACK ON FEBRUARY 1ST, 2022. THE DEFENDER 2 TIRES HAVE AN EXCELLENT RIDE, QUIET AND GREAT HANDLING/CRUISING AND CORNERING. WE'RE READY FOR AN EAST COAST TREK FROM SOUTHERN ONTARIO TO HALIFAX AND ACCORDING TO THE DOT CODES, NOVA SCOTIA MANUFACTURING FOR OUR TIRES :)
I have driven about 20 miles so far. My engine check line came on and my engine was misfiring. Presently I'm waiting for my mechanic to install a new engine coil. Right after the installation, I had to get an alignment, the steering wheel was vibrating. I can't say that I drove enough to share my subjective opinion. My mechanic recommend your brand. He said your tires last longer than Bridgestone. I think Bridgestone sound cooler and I think they are a lower purchase price. I do feel that the Bridgestone tires lasted a long time. If yours last longer, great, but I may not pay attention
Michelin Defender 2 AS
I just purchased the tires on 6-30-26 and they were installed on 7-1-2026. Although I have only driven on the tires for the last 9 days, I have noticed that the tires give my car a more comfortable ride than the Ecopias that were on the car when I purchased it. And the tires have an 80k mile warranty which is a cherry on the top, I've always preferred and only purchased Michelin tires and will continue to do so.
