GREAT FEATURES

Noisy, hard ride. Leaves thick tracks on concrete driveway.

These are okay.

just purchased so not certain on any of the fields

So far I love how smooth these tires ride.  My first set of michelins.

Great ride

Love my new Michelin Defender II tires.  Better wear, much better ride!

Perfect ride

The best tire for your money. The Defender 2 my second set on my 2013 Honda CRV

Great ride, quite, and great in the snow

I like my new Michelin tires as they are smooth riding and quiet.  Also, my car steers perfectly.

Smooth runner

Great in the rain. Great mileage warranty

Great 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.
