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 :)
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.
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.
