Tested and Proven on my Ford Explorer, lasted almost 4.5yrs, got another set installed for my daughtet's car.

Durable Tires!

From the minute I drove away from dealership, the auto steered better, road smoother and I'm hoping for better gas mileage.

Michelin Defender 2

SO FAR SO GOOD; BOUGHT THEM 2 WEEKS AGO AND ALREADY HAD A METAL SPIKE ENTER ONE OF THE TIRES WITH MY WIFE DRIVING

DEFENDER 2 MICHELIN

Driving home from installation, I thought "These are the quietest tires I've ever had. A week later, that opinion hasn't changed. Very pleased.

Very Quiet and smooth

Just got Defender 2 installed for my CRV. Feels the comfort drive and so quiet. Very please with the tire

Excellent All season tires

I have had these new tires installed on my Tesla for approximately 4 months and driven 25000km so far they have been excellent.

Great handling in heavy rain

I just bought and registered these tires. I have high expectations of them due to the reputation of Michelin.

This is my Second set of Defenders. I make my living on the road, the first set had 143,000 miles on them in three years.

Second Set

Just had my tires replaced on my 2016 Honda Pilot…She never drove so quietly.  Let's hope this doesn't change…

New Purchase

My Honda CRV rides much better with these tires on vehicle than original tires that came with vehicle.

great tire

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.
