These tires are absolute garbage in the rain after 3 months. Whatever changed from previous defenders they should go back to. I tried with 90+ percent treadwear to have them warrantied and the credit offered was insulting. I have used defenders for ages but Michelin has lost me as a customer for life. Bas bad as the OE Hankook tires in civics. Never again. Premium price for awful wet performance.

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 are quite possibly the best Tires I have ever owned.

My Explorer rides very smooth and quite. Handling is very good.

Great handling, quiet, very nice looks & wear!

Tires are under the 80K mile warranty. Tires are leaving black tread material on driveway.

The ride is smooth & quiet. Love it! Good handling.

Great tire all around and what is recommended for my vehicle.

Great tires. I did notice a small dip in my gas mileage with these over the Primacy we replaced.

Good Comfort, Great Grip and Handling, LOVE the Longevity and Treadwear!
