Extremely Reliable

Excellent tires, always buy Michelin. I do lots of backroad, roadtrips. NH to Rt66, Branson through southern states AR to GrandCanyon, visit family in Oregon and home again via highway. 176,000 miles on my RAV4, hoping for another 125,000 on these same kind new tires!

Love my new Defender 2 tires

I love my new Michelin Defender 2 tires! I now have them installed on both of my vehicles. They are much quieter than the OEM tires put on by the car manufacturers. They handle great, grip the road confidently on both wet and dry pavement. They provide a smooth and comfortable ride and with an 80,000 mi treadwear warranty I look forward to having them for a long time. They look great on both of my vehicles. I am very pleased with this purchase and the overall quality and value these tires provide.

Not so great

I replaced the OEM Hankook brand that I never did care for. I selected these because of the higher rating over the GoodYear that I've used on my last three cars. These aren't much better. The road noise is just as loud, there is too much bounce and the wet traction just isn't there.

We're sorry to hear your Defender 2 tires haven't delivered the comfort and performance expected. Ride feel, road noise, and wet traction can be influenced by factors such as vehicle application, inflation pressure, and alignment. We recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer for an inspection to help identify the cause. If you would like to discuss this further, please contact our Consumer Care team at 866-866-6605 (Mon-Fri 8 AM-7 PM EST, Sat 8 AM-1 PM EST).
