I like Michelin tires to be honest. They cost a little more but seem to last longer. I have never done a TCO calculation but ai would guess the average cost per year is similar to cheaper tires and they come with better quality and performance.

I have been driving on Michelin tires for many years and my father used Michelin tires for years. I will be purchasing a new set of winter tires in November from Michelin. I find the tires are very reliable and comfort when travelling.

I have been disappointed twice now with these tires on my Subaru Forester. Twice they have not reached their supposed warranty of 80,000. They didn’t make it to 50,000 before they needed to be replaced.

The Defender 2 is a great all weather tire. Good performance in wet or dry and quiet. The previous ratings that I had reviewed before making my purchase were accurate.

Bought the Defender 2 for my 2018 Escape. Excellent tire. Much nicer ride and better control than the factory supplied Continental tires. Love these tires and the ride, nice a quiet too. Well worth the money.

I had some issues with my old tires and the ride was also not that smooth. As soon as I got these tires, noticed a huge difference in performance and much more comfortable ride.

It is like I had a different suspension system installed on the vehicle, incredible change in ride, quiet, smooth, over "changing" surfaces of roadways.

We got a set of 4 new tires about a month ago and took a 1,800 mile trip on them a week ago. They ride smooth and hold the road well in rain and normal weather.

I plan to drive my current vehicle many years. The service provider for my vehicle recommended the Michelin Defender 2. I took his advice and have been very pleased with my purchase. Great roadability, rain or shine. Great product!

I’ve always appreciated the durability, performance, and comfortable ride that Michelin tires provide…certainly not my first purchase and definitely won’t be my last!
