I had to replace original Michelin tires they wore with only 21000 miles with defender2 tires and I find the ride to be very rough. The place I brought tires from said it's the road and not the tire balance iam very disappointed in the ride I drive a lincoln

These tires are like driving on clouds - everything is smooth, the tires absorb bumps and road imperfections easily, and I can tell they "have the road". In short, I feel very safe with these tires, which is important since my commute to work is 250 miles twice a month. I originally purchased CrossClimate 2 as replacement tires for my 2020 XT5 Sport but was not satisfied with them (wrote a review). I took the car back to my retailer and they swapped them for a new set of Defender 2 no questions asked. Michelin stands by their product and I've had exceptional customer service from both the retailer and Michelin in this process. The commitment to their product and exemplary service is why I will stay a Michelin customer.

Rides like a dream on EQUINOX V-6 . Tread wear even with rotation . Holds up to unforeseen pot holes. 2nd set wouldn't run anything else .

Defender 2 design will provide excellent traction, durability and grip! Excited for the long-term wear too.

Tires look good. Road noise is noticeable. First time getting these tires. I like that the mileage is 80,000. Good reviews from Tire Rack.

Some of the best around. Had original Defeders and loved them. Kept my wife safe in all kinds weather and travel scenarios.

I could feel the difference! Car felt more stable on the turns and handled great on gravel and asphalt.

Noticed quieter & smoother ride immediately but that may just be the difference between my Hankook's with 5/32” tread vs. these with 10.5/32” tread.

Feel tires are great thus far. No road noise. Have had Michelins before and find this make are one of the best!

Well built well designed tires that provide traction and a smooth ride to boot. We are pleased with the quality and durability of the Michelin tires!
