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.

After having great performance and wear from my previous Defender tires I went with the Defender 2 tires this time. The original Defender tires still had another 10,000 miles of summer driving left on them but living here in Montana I need that deep tread depth for the winter. driving conditions here. I'm sure that these Defender 2 will be as good as or better than the original Defender tires.

Despite having nearly 50k miles on my truck, after my new Michelin Defender2 tires were installed, it felt like I was driving a new vehicle. I was so pleasantly surprised I had to let someone know so I texted (using CarPlay of course) my wife and a friend.

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.

I was using the earlier Defender tires then got the Defender 2 tires. These tires are fantastic. Have used them in summer with heavy rains also now during winter with heavy snow and freezing rain. They have stopped without any noise and even on recent bad weather. Thank you Michelin.

These tires deliver a smooth, quiet ride that genuinely impressed me. They look fantastic on the vehicle—sleek and stylish without compromising performance. And the tread warranty? Unbeatable. It's rare to find this kind of value and peace of mind in one package. Highly recommend!

I bought these tires in May after my OE tires needed to be replaced and they have exceeded my expectations. They provide excellent traction when dry or wet and my vehicle is super quiet while on the road. It's likely that these tires will last at least twice as long as my OE tires. You won't regret this purchase.

If you are looking for new tires for your Ford Edge or any vehicle, I highly recommend the MICHELIN DEFENDER 2. I hated the way my car sounded when I drove. Coming from a Cadillac CTS, the Edge has loud road noise. I needed new tires and spent the extra money and got the Michelins. Totally changed the ride of the car!!! So smooth and quieter. Feels like a new car! You will not be disappointed!

The Defender LTX M/S 2 is a good tire,not a great tire. They are a noisy tire. They are not much less quiet than a AT tire. This new design is not as quiet as the lower design. When cold they vibrate alot. I'm not very impressed with them. I think Michelin needs the rethink the design for road noise.

Great tires for both winter and all-season. I have been buying this brand for my 2 cars and every time the performance is great. My gas consumption has been good compared to when I was using the heavier Bridgestone brand. Tip: buy when they have a promo on to save even more (that is if the need is not urgent).
