Michelin Defender2 - 235/40R19 96V Tire

Purchased a week ago before a road trip.  What a pleasure to ride with quality tires!  Makes a huge difference for an enjoyable and safe trip.

Michelin Quality at it's finest!

Just put on a new set of Michelin tires. Always happy when driving- less road noise, confident of their performance.

Great Tires

These replaced the originals that were 6 plus years old.  So far, the ride has been very smooth and quiet.

Great replacement tires

My last Michelin tires which were stock to my new Toyota had 60,000 miles so I purchased these 80,000 mile rated Michelin's, a great value.

quiet ride

I just replaced all four tires, and the driving experience was entirely different from driving on my old set. The handling of the car is fabulous.

Great driving experience

bought these to replace my original set of Michelin tires that had 75000 miles on them. these new tires run smooth and quiet, with great handling.

great ride and preformance

After replacing the tires on my Wife's car, the care drives really nice and manages the corners well!!

Replacement Tires

Loud tire noise. Sounds like they are out of balanced and causing vibrations, makes my camry sound like a helicopter.

Michelin Defenders 2 are not for me

It's only been a week, but what a difference with these tires! Much quieter and more stable than the originals with 47,000 miles that they replaced.

Good grip on wet surfaces

hello....I had heard that these tires are tricky on wet roads but they are excellent and I will buy them again when I need a new set.

Defender 2 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.
