Michelin Defender2 - 235/40R19 96V Tire

I had 4 Defender XL with 20k miles.  Great tire, however I had road hazard on 2.  Because I have AWD all 4 needed to be replaced. Since I had the Defender tires before I stayed with the Defenders

Great Tire

I like my new tires, but one of them is leaking, belle tire  service can't find cause, they sealed but few days since then I still notice less PSI   than in other 3 tires.

Good tires

It's too soon to comment on durability however with the recent heavy snow falls in Toronto, the Defender 2 tires were the best performing all season tires we have had to date.

Good in snow.

The durability of the is everything I expected. Grip going around corners have no slip. Stability at high speeds are great. Traction is great on slippery and snowy roads in Michigan. Long last wear is what I wanted in a tire.

Best tire and long lasting.

With these tires, there is less road noise, the ride is smoother, and it seems that the steering is more precise.

Better Control and Quieter

my commute is 90+ miles one way , love the quiet ride, great in the rain and snow , love the long life as well cost saver over the long haul

Would be nice if you list Puerto Rico in your drop down for registration. Have to use my home state of Idaho.

Just what I expected.

The Michelin Defender 2 tires are wonderful, as well as dependable tires for a passenger car. The confidence of having the needed traction in all types of weather is an important factor.

Great tires.

The tires have been fantastic. Nice smooth ride and I feel very safe in the car.  These tires were the right selection for what I wanted on my small SUV.

Great tires and great service from Tire Craft in Fort McMurray Alberta Canada

I recently had the Defender 2 tires installed. They ride is comfortable, handling and response are superb. They are my second set of tires for the Toyota RAV4

Great Ride

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.
