I've heard others brag on their new tires, and wondered why they were so excited....that is, until I bought Michelin Defenders for my 2010 Lexus RX350!  Having tried the best of many other brands, I must now affirm that nothing--NOTHING-- rides, wears, handles or performs like Michelin!  They are more quiet, more sure-footed, particularly in compromising conditions, better wearings, and provide a better ride than any tire I have ever used.  FIVE STARS for Michelin...all the way!

Only the Best!

I love these tires! Had Defender XLTs on my 2012 Rav 4 and couldn't wait to put them on my new car. I like the thick tread and way the drive through water. My car just feels more safe, as crazy as that sounds.  I now have Defender LTX on my 2022 Rav 4 and still enjoy the ride!

Love my Defenders!

Love the Michelin Defender 2 tires!  First purchased a set for my wife’s car.  When it was time to replace tires on my car, no question which tire to go with.  The tires have a smooth ride, but also grip the road well.  Great traction in both wet and dry conditions.

Great tires!

I have purchased Defender tires for 20+ years and these Defender2 tires are outstanding for performance and the ride and control are excellent. Best tire in snow and they give you confidence because they hold the road so well. The only tire I will put on my cars.

Great Performance

Now experiencing a renewed feeling of being connected to the road due to the responsive Defender 2 design. Whether on hot Florida pavement or downpour drenched roadways, movement is nimble while braking is smooth and confident. And, quiet, a noticeable difference over even the replaced premium brand. Michelin research and development continues to miraculously improve over the original Defender. With proper maintenance tread life will hopefully be achieved as well. And was it mentioned that these tires are quiet!

Michelin Keeps It's Promises

Tires are great but the rebate process is a nightmare. Could you possibly make it any more difficult to attach the receipt image? Really?  Why not give an instant rebate at time of purchase? Only one reason I can think of, Michelin is hoping for leakage.  Not a great customer experience.

Great tires - but rebate process pain.

Very quiet tire but very poor grip and a weak sidewall. These are probably great for high milage fleet vehicles or rentals but not for any vehicle one might drive spiritedly. Do not drive these hard in the rain, you may die. I replaced a set of Yokohama's with these and to be honest, I got better performance from the worn out Yok's. Now I know these are not a performance grade tire by any means, but I did expect a little better from Michelin.

Quiet but lacks performance

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

Just bought these tires for my VW Atlas because they have been great on my wife’s car, but have been disappointed with how they ride. I expected a smooth ride but you can feel every bump in the road throughout the car. At first thought the tires were not balanced, but went back to the shop and they checked to confirm the tires were balanced. I would by again for my wife’s car but not my VW.

Rides rough

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.
