Just bought these and could immediately tell the difference in decreased road noise and increased traction/handling. I had the first version just placed on the rear wheels which I can't complain about but I think these new ones are better.

I switched from Continental, these Michelin tires are fantastic. The Michelins ride better, handle better and are much quieter. I will never buy another brand. I have had Michelin on my last 4 cars. None better.

Just put 4 Defender 2’s on my Infinity QX60 (55k miles) and took a 100 mile trip and the ride was perfect. Very quiet, handled great. Highly recommend these new shoes!

I bought these 9,000 kms ago and am pleasantly surprised at the smooth ride they offer. Previous tires of a different brand were noisy but the Michelins are quiet.

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 put a very used set of these on a 1992 suburban, without the 4 wd hooked up. They were almost gone, and I never slipped. I'm in Michigan, on some Michelins.

These Michelin Defender 2 tires are great tires and I’d buy them again. Long wearing , excellent on the highway, quiet, great traction (in fact we use them all winter long on our AWD RAV4) and competitively priced.

Just got them today. A rather expensive set of tires but having already put 50 miles on them I can say it's a very comfortable riding tire for my AWD vehicle.

These new tires fixed the vibration on my car. They ride very smooth, not loud on the highway. Didn't negatively affect my mpg. I also greatly appreciate the 80k warranty and high tread wear.

The tire produces a smooth and comfortable ride. I also liked its gripping capability. I tend to make fast turns. Although I have not had the tires for a while, I like its 80K miles warranty.
