Very bad load tire -

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.

Michelin Tires are the BEST!

Amazing handling, and my car has never driven so smooth! I did see an immediate drop in MPG approximately 4 mpg due to having more rubber on the ground which explains the go cart like handling. The overall handling and comfort is well worth the small loss in mpg.

I'm committed to the D2 !

2003 Lexus LS430, replaced Continentals with the D2–and I am blown away at the better ride, noise, wet traction, feel… I have never felt such a difference with tires. The car sits better and has a better stance. I am a believer in Michelin Defender, the Defender2 is even better. I am very pleased with this decision 100%.

Using Only Michelins

I have used Michelin's on all my vehicles for many years. When I bought my 2014 Durango, it came with another brand. After 20,000 miles or so they were wearing. Michelins have been on it ever since and I not have almost 50,000 on them and not near wear points yet. Great traction in wet weather, low noise, and smooth ride. What not to like.

Not as quiet as the Michelin Energy Saver

i recently purchased the Defender 2 for my Toyota Camry LE. My original tires were the Michelin Energy Saver. These tires seem to perform well, but they are not as quiet as the Energy Saver. I'm considering swapping them out for the Energy Saver because of this. Have you heard this from any other reviews?

MaryAnn, sorry to read you are experiencing noise with the Defender 2 tires. There are many factors involved in harmonics of all vehicle/tire combinations. Remember, as part of the Michelin Promise Plan, we have a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. Have your retailer contact us with any questions.

Defender 2 tires

I purchased Defender 2 tires in April 2024 and had my Michelin X-Ice removed from vehicle for the summer months. When I picked up my vehicle from the garage I immediately noticed the ride with my New Defender tires was not as smooth and I had more road noise than with the X-Ice tires. I was surprised by this as I expected the opposite . Aside from the above observations I will say the Defender tires are very responsive to handling & braking
