Michelin Defender2 - 235/40R19 96V Tire

Thought enough about the tires to replace the current Defenders with the Defender 2s

Sticking with what works

michelinman.com

I bought them because I was very happy with the original tires on the vehicle when bought new.

Good handling and tread.  Hope to gets lots of miles out of these tires.

Great Tires

Great tires.  Long lasting.

I bought these tires approximately a month ago and I would buy them again and again.

PERFECT ALL AROUND TIRE

i bought the tires three weeks ago very happy with them

all weather

BOUGHT 4 DEFENDER 2 6 MONTH AGO I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THEM

OUTSTANDING TIRE

Rideing on air

Tire had screw on sidewall and was under warranty

excellent

These are all new tires, so I have no rating at this time.

Great service.

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.
