I bought this 'set of four' Michelin Defender2 Tires for my 2008 Nissan Sentra S 4-door sedan. {Which I bought brand new in 2008.} At 2 years I replaced the factory tires with these Michelin tires [ then, faithfully a set of four-at-a-time, thereafter, as needed]. The grip and stability excel in wet OR dry highway driving. Saved me in a few highway "near-misses --THANK GOD!" For an ole lady in a 17+1/2-year-old-car, they rocked-my-socks, in traction during this historic Feb 22 to 24, 2026 Bomb-Cyclone/Blizzard. The leftover snow from the January storm, in my Southeast Massachusetts town became frozen. And the Blizzard dumped another 20+ inches; that covered my Black Sentra; parked in between two other vehicles. After I cleaned the snow, {which had even blown into my tailpipe} cleared snow from the two driver's-side tires & driver's door; clear enough from above the front bumper I was able to climb over the snow pack piled in front of my car. [ Utilizing the ole foot-on-the-brake, inch back & forth 2 or 3 times, until I felt those Defender's grip. Then it was smooth & steady going. I highly recommend these tires; and suggest rotation to extend the wear & durability -- which will extend their life!

So far so good after approximately 3 months and 4,000 miles on our Defender 2s. The most notable improvement is a front end road noise reduction; the tires also provided admirable traction after a recent snowstorm. Some improvement in gas mileage was anticipated but that hasn't been noticed. Overall we're satisfied with our Defender 2 tires (but, hey, what new tires aren't an improvement over aged, worn tires?).

I replaced the original tires on my Honda CRV with Michelins. Cannot be happier. My dealer had a sale price on the set , plus I got an eighty dollar rebate! The old tires were loud on all surfaces. The Michelins are quiet and ride so much better. Plus I expect double the tire wear.

Had to replace 2 of my T&H tires on a 2015 Sienna FWD. Traction off the line especially if wet is terrible. Because they put them on the back for h first few months it was too late to take back. Traction on these is worse than my fairly worn older tires. Who cares about how long they last if they don't work well enough to grip. Tried to see what they would do about it and same answer of take it back to where you bought them. Don't plan to use Michelin anymore.

Excellent service

Great service

I've only had the tires a couple of weeks, but from what I have experienced so far, I am pleased with their performance, Stopping distance and cornering are admirable, and they look good on my Infiniti. Here's hoping they continue to please.

These tires deliver a smooth, quiet ride that genuinely impressed me. They look fantastic on the vehicle—sleek and stylish without compromising performance. And the tread warranty? Unbeatable. It’s rare to find this kind of value and peace of mind in one package. Highly recommend!

I switched the Yokohama YK-GTX for Michelin Defender 2 tires. The Yokos were stiff, jolted over road holes/bumps, responsive steering, but were nice & quiet. Wanted a smooth, quiet ride, that handled curves smoothly and that absorbed holes and bumps on roads and the freeway like my previous Michelins did. The Defender 2 tires are horrible. My car feels like a Tilt-a-Whirl, unstable, squirrely, and they are not quiet, mostly smooth, but the steering needs second-to-second monitoring and concentration. My last Michelins were outstanding and outlasted their warranty, just stated cracking in the Arizona summer heat. They were smooth, quiet, absorbing and steered wonderfully. So disappointed, paid much more for the Michelins and now I feel stuck...

Tires are great but the rebate process is a nightmare. Could you possibly make it any more difficult to attach the receipt image? Really? Why not give an instant rebate at time of purchase? Only one reason I can think of, Michelin is hoping for leakage. Not a great customer experience.
