I am replacing my old tires that are the same model with these. The previous tires ran over 100,000 miles! And I ran over many nails in this time. These tires never failed me and have good grip on wet and icy roads. Best tires ever!

I have always had good luck with Michelin tires. The last set of tires I had on my Honda CRV the tire salesman talked me into buying another name brand of tire. Man did I make a big mistake! First rainy day those tires didn't do to well. I couldn't wait to wear them out and get me a set of Michelin. Now I feel safer on wet roads with my new Michelin Defender 2 tires!

Love the tires, the price, and the warranty, but not the installation. My car requires 33 psi all around, according to the manual in the glove compartment and the plate at the driver’s door frame. Driving home, the car thought one tire had 36, two had 37, and one had 38. I waited until the tires were cold the next morning, checked them with a digital gauge, and found 36.5, 2 X 37.5, and 38.5. A second check with a traditional analog tire gauge yielded similar results. I shook my head and deflated them all to 33.0. The car agrees with 33. I’m glad I checked, but it should not have been necessary. What if my car had no tire pressure monitoring system? I would’ve assumed that new tires were properly inflated. Overinflation causes uneven wear, excessive at the middle of the tread, and very little at the edges. My new tires would have worn prematurely, and worse, might not have gripped properly when necessary.

I purchased four of these based on a recommendation from a family member and couldn't be happier. I no longer hear road noise which had become more annoying over time. Absolutely love these tires.

I shopped a lot before I made my decision to buy these tires. I love the way they hold to the road. I love the warranty. And they look sharp on my car.

Am happy with tire because I have 3 others just like it. I have had them for less than a year, bought at Sam's and they couldn't find my purchase in the computer so it was not covered and I had to pay $249.00 for the tire.

Just went on a road trip with these new tires and i felt like the van was new again for the it handle my trip of 3000 miles, great tires nice and quiet too.

I have driven about 20 miles so far. My engine check line came on and my engine was misfiring. Presently I'm waiting for my mechanic to install a new engine coil. Right after the installation, I had to get an alignment, the steering wheel was vibrating. I can't say that I drove enough to share my subjective opinion. My mechanic recommend your brand. He said your tires last longer than Bridgestone. I think Bridgestone sound cooler and I think they are a lower purchase price. I do feel that the Bridgestone tires lasted a long time. If yours last longer, great, but I may not pay attention

I used the first generation of these tires and ran these 2nd generation as well driving personal and rideshare. They are quiet and like driving on pillows. In a 2wd Genesis sedan in the 1st generation version of these tires I got 2-3 mpg increase in the city and 3-5 mpg in the long distance. My any mpg was 34-35mpg with a V6 heavy sedan. In Colorado winters I could stop and plow through the snow powder or wet sloppy snow I had used sand bags in back for weight to grip. This Defender 2 I ran driving in Utah, Park city I didn’t have any sand bags and got better traction. These Defemder 2 tires were very impressive I did get my money worth out of the Defender 1 I did hit the 80,000 miles I believe I got 87,000 miles out of them. These Defender 2 were on track to beat the 1st generation of this tire. Funny story I drove a gentleman who was picking his minivan up at the tire shop, he was using the minivan for medical transportation, I asked what tires he was getting “Michelin Defenders! Long lasting and get more mpg baby!” I told him they are amazing in bad weather too! He was excited! Go with confidence on this purchase!
