These are the most expensive tires I have ever purchased. They are performing fine. They have normal traction and drive handling. The jury is out on how well they will last. My hope is that they are worth the expense for extended treadwear. They certainly have an excellent reputation. I expect safe driving and exceptional longevity.

I can't recommend these tires enough! We have them on our CRV. They have 95,000 miles on the tire themselves-maybe a bit more. Last time we had them checked @ 93,000 miles they still 4 tread depth! I'm just patiently waiting for the best sale to put new ones on. Don't skip these tires. No hydroplaning in water, great in snow- did good in ice, great on the highway! All have weared equally as well.

These tires are a great fit for our 2019 Hyundai Tuscon. Excellent Handling & smooth quiet ride. Experienced a major "cloud burst" downpour on the way home on Loop 270 and the tires channelled the water just fine. Even cornering on tight bank turns, the vehicle handled great.

it's only been a lil over a week. I've been driving a long time. I've owned other tire brands and none can touch these. the first thing i noticed was rolling resistance. these tires seem to glide forever! My gas mileage has gone through the roof! The second was the grip on curves. Chefs kiss. i feel confident that these tires will take my ride to the 100,000 mark easily. Added bonus, where I live heat rules. with Michelin's I don't have to worry about blowouts in 100 degree plus temperatures.

I'm sure the Defender 2 will last a long time. These tires seem to have a stiffer sidewall and harder rubber compound than the OEM tires my Toyota Highlander came with. The Defender 2 ride is much harsher and after about 15K miles they got noisy on smoother road surfaces. I also noticed the wet traction really got worse around 15K miles. I am dreading that I may have to drive on these tires for 3-4 more years, but tires are too expensive to replace them already. I will not buy them again.

Michelin has always been my first choice because I have had them many times over the years. Well known name, great handling, promotions at times which help with the expense.

These tires are wonderful! Great treadwear, traction, and best of all, they're extremely quiet. This is why I always trust Michelin products. Thanks for offering such a valuable product.

I am a Michelin consumer of many years. Just replaced my set of Cross Climate after driving 56K miles. Purchased the Defender 2. The ride is superb! I feel confident I will be able to drive on them for the full 80k mile warranty.

The tires have been on my SUV for 2 weeks and I've driven about 600 miles on them. They grip the road well and braking is good though they are not that quiet on the highway. It's too soon for me to give an accurate estimate about anything else.

Great all-around tire. Noticeably smoother ride, solid grip on roads, especially during rain and snow. Tread seems to be holding up well, though I try not to be too hard on start/stops regardless. Very pleased with them after 9 months.
