5 out of 5 stars review

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.

Phenomenal all around tire

I have traveled between 40 and 60,000 miles per year on the road as a Salesrep, and have had experience with Goodyear, Firestone,, hoe, Continental, and Dunlap tires, and while they've all been adequate, only even Michelin tire, specifically the defender and the defender two, have given me the performance that I was looking for. Very good in the snow on my SUVs, as well as a fabulous ride, great cornering And secure in the knowledge that if I should get a blowout, which I never have, I would likely have plenty of time to pull over and deal with it as opposed to a worst case scenario. I would have no other for my vehicles. Michelin knows how to build a tire to give its customers the best value. A little more money, but well worth it in my humble opinion.
