They make my car feel like a brand new car. Beautiful ride, handles the road very well.

Solid tire with good ride. Just put a set on my daughters car.

We love our Defender 2 tires.

I purchased a set of these tires a month ago. They do not ride smooth and they are noisy. They sound like I am driving a pick up truck with off road tires.

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.

I bought in April. They are advertised as quiet but we're as loud as my winter tires. I suffered all summer thinking they may get better but did not. I will rate them in next spring and hope Michelin will help.

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.

Without a doubt in my mind, the best overall tire for performance, noise levels, ability to hold the road at any speed in any kind of weather, comfort and handling.....cost is excellent for such an amazingly quiet and comfortable ride.

Quality tires the best.

I bought a set of defender 2 tires 3 weeks ago (11-20-24)- they rumble and drone like no other tire I have ever had. Stay away from these tires! I have been a fairly consistent Michelin customer for over 30 years and this is my first dissapointment with one of their products. I will try to replace or upgrade using the warranty, but I don't expect this to be an easy battle now.
