Awesome tire .

I have had Michelin on everything i have owned the last 35 years. They usually Crack on the sides before they ever wear out . They are awesome . They are so smooth it's like riding on a cloud . Just put a set on my Chevy Silverado . Simply the best highway tire available.

Impressive

it's only been a lil over a week. I've been driving a long time. I've owned other tire brands and none can touch these. the first thing i noticed was rolling resistance. these tires seem to glide forever! My gas mileage has gone through the roof! The second was the grip on curves. Chefs kiss. i feel confident that these tires will take my ride to the 100,000 mark easily. Added bonus, where I live heat rules. with Michelin's I don't have to worry about blowouts in 100 degree plus temperatures.

The jury is still out. I have not put close to end of life wear on these tires.

These are the most expensive tires I have ever purchased. They are performing fine. They have normal traction and drive handling. The jury is out on how well they will last. My hope is that they are worth the expense for extended treadwear. They certainly have an excellent reputation. I expect safe driving and exceptional longevity.

Defender 2 tires are great!

We are very pleased with the Michelin Defender 2 tires that we just purchased for our Ford Escape Titanium. This vehicle is a medium sized SUV so it is light and has turbo so it is quick to respond to changes in speed or direction. Consequently, we are concerned about the tires ability to be stable on windy highways and grip the road at higher speeds and when turning corners especially in wet weather. Since this is early spring and winter road damage has not yet been repaired, they are surprisingly smooth when going over rough roads and occasional potholes and uneven roads. They are also well priced for this level of performance.

Great Ride & Handling

These tires are a great fit for our 2019 Hyundai Tuscon. Excellent Handling & smooth quiet ride. Experienced a major "cloud burst" downpour on the way home on Loop 270 and the tires channelled the water just fine. Even cornering on tight bank turns, the vehicle handled great.

Michelin hit home run

Amazing when people clearly post stuff on review that make themselves sound ignorant. These tires are great examples of Michelin Engineering. Long tire life. Smooth ride and quiet. Choose the correct tire pressure for optimal wear I always run aprox 5-8 PSI over door sticker, so you don't wear to heavy on outside of tires. This gives you optimal tire contact and tread life. This also makes smoother turning and brings life to your steering Nice job michelin

Smooth ride

So far a smooth ride at all speeds. No pulling or vibrations. Seems to be wearing evenly. Advise getting an alignment with the new tires.

Solid Performer on Roads

Great all-around tire. Noticeably smoother ride, solid grip on roads, especially during rain and snow. Tread seems to be holding up well, though I try not to be too hard on start/stops regardless. Very pleased with them after 9 months.
