Bought 4 replacement tires for my 2017 Rav4, tires are just as noisy as my original OEM tires. Was hoping for quieter ride, but the same. Set pressure to 32 psi, but no difference. My winter Michelins are quieter, Defenders are a harder rubber with gives them longer life, but increase road noise.

High quality tire, long lasting all season.

I bought the Michelin D2 and they are absolutely marvelous. I recommend the D2 Michelin for longevity purposes. The 80,000 miles assure much about the versatility of the automobile tires in everyday society.

I believe the tires were a very good purchase . a great tire and a very fair price . with my electric car they hold up very well give gray traction and stability .

We just got these so we’ve only put a few miles on them tires but they are much quieter than the continental tires we had been buying. They seem to ride nicely as well and look much meatier too. I’m sure I’ll be kicking myself for not paying the extra price for Michelins years ago.

I was using the earlier Defender tires then got the Defender 2 tires. These tires are fantastic. Have used them in summer with heavy rains also now during winter with heavy snow and freezing rain. They have stopped without any noise and even on recent bad weather. Thank you Michelin.

I recently purchased Michelin Defender2 tires for my 2018 CR-V, and they have been outstanding. After researching my options, these stood out as the best choice, and they have not disappointed. The ride is quiet, smooth, and incredibly stable, with excellent responsiveness on the road. Whether in dry or wet conditions, they provide great traction and control. If you're looking for durability, comfort, and performance, I highly recommend these tires!

Love the Michelin Defender 2 tires! First purchased a set for my wife’s car. When it was time to replace tires on my car, no question which tire to go with. The tires have a smooth ride, but also grip the road well. Great traction in both wet and dry conditions.

Having sold Michelin tires for about 30 years I know these tires perform better than any other tires. Better stopping, starting and fuel efficiency are the hallmarks of Michelin products. They improve the ride quality and overall performance of my car.

I switched the Yokohama YK-GTX for Michelin Defender 2 tires. The Yokos were stiff, jolted over road holes/bumps, responsive steering, but were nice & quiet. Wanted a smooth, quiet ride, that handled curves smoothly and that absorbed holes and bumps on roads and the freeway like my previous Michelins did. The Defender 2 tires are horrible. My car feels like a Tilt-a-Whirl, unstable, squirrely, and they are not quiet, mostly smooth, but the steering needs second-to-second monitoring and concentration. My last Michelins were outstanding and outlasted their warranty, just stated cracking in the Arizona summer heat. They were smooth, quiet, absorbing and steered wonderfully. So disappointed, paid much more for the Michelins and now I feel stuck...
