Michelin Defender2 - 235/40R19 96V Tire

What a smooth ride and handles good.  Traction is outstanding in wet roads and very pleased with performance.

Great Tires

michelinman.com

Not as good a tire as previous tires, required more weights for balancing. Ride not as smooth
not real happy with this set of tires

poor workmanship, I think the tires should have been rejects

Drove through a torrential downpour on the interstate with newly paved conditions and felt very secure at 50 PMP with water on the roadway.

Just got my all 4 tires replaced and my car feels brand new. Looking forward to see how well these preform but so far I am happy.

Feels great to drive

These are by far the best tires I have ever had. They way out perform the latitude that were original equipment. They only went 42,000 miles

Great all around tires but spendy!

These are quiet riding and reliable tires with toughness and a good appearance. I wouldn't purchase any other brand of tires for my Honda.

Best reliable tires-mechanics 1st Choice

The tires provide a smooth ride on the highway. The tires seem to hung the road when when coming around corners.

Great features!

Very satisfied 2020 Chevy traverse smooth ride and good response changing lanes, after about 1500 miles . So far so good 👍.

Good curb appearance 👍

LONG LASTING I HAVE BEEN USING THESE MODEL TIRES ON ALL OF MY VEHICLES
ON MY CUSSRENT LEXUS I HAVE ALREADY 50000 MILES ON IT ANS STILL GOING GOOD

LONG LASTING TIRES!

Michelin has always been good and these don't disappoint a bit more rough ride than Yokozuna's but all in all good price for these tires.

I am very disappointed with the Michelin Defender 2.  The 4 tires are rated for 80,000 miles.  However, I am experiencing uneven wear (feathering) on al 4 tires at 12,000 miles.  I have documentation to prove I have been aligning my tires at Firestone since the tires were purchased new.  The shocks and struts are new on my vehicle.  However, I am experiencing noisy tires, and the roads feel bumpy all the time.

Poor Reliability

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 235/40R19/XL(Extra Load): 
I recently switched to the Michelin Defender 2 tires from the Primacy MXM4s (~5 years, 45k miles). While I've only driven a single, nearly 200-mile trip, the difference in performance is quite noticeable.

The most positive aspect is the improved traction and control. The torque transfer feels much better, leading to a more responsive acceleration compared to the Primacy tires.

The trade-off, however, is the noticeable increase in road noise, particularly at speeds around 80. It's a significant difference compared to the quieter Primacy experience. 

I am hopeful that the enhanced durability and potential tread life (80k miles company warranty) will ultimately make the Defender 2 a worthwhile change.
