I just got 4 Defener 2 installed today, but obviously, it's a very quiet tire. The noise level is even lower than my old tire, almost bald. On the road, I can only hear the tire noise from the car on my next lane.

Purchased three weeks ago. They ride Smooth and quietly. Gas mileage is the same. Did not worsen. Wet braking, dry braking both good but good brakes and driving at reasonable speeds in a rain storm has more to with braking than new tires.

This is not my first set of Michelins. It took the original equipment tire on my vehicle to be replaced to remind me of Michelins quiet and handling. Perhaps my next car should come equipped with OEM MIchelins?

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.

I bought this tire a year ago. I’m so glad I did. Very long lasting, handles well, is really quiet on smooth roads. No problems. Perfect for my ev car.

I bought the original set about a year and a half ago, but they wore down a little quicker than I thought about 60K, I contacted Michelin and they stood by their warranty and reimbursed me a percentage, so I bought another set, very happy with them

I have previously used Defender tires on a light truck. Now, I have purchased Defender2 for my Toyota Avalon. Very Quiet Smooth ride! Feels like I am driving a new vehicle.

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 always respected the Michelin “name” but didn’t think I could afford them. They came highly recommended by my tire dealer. Now that I have driven with them I love them, and I will always buy Michelins.

The tires are not good on snow because during this winter in Edmonton there was snow and in three different times the car skidded and had no control. I want other customers who also drive in snow, to be extra careful when braking.
