5 out of 5 stars review

Not sure I’d drive on anything else now.

I don’t know where to start with these tires. Such an improvement over my original tires, I went through one season, about 12k miles, and couldn’t ride on the, any longer. They just wouldn’t stop or hold the road I wet weather. They looked like new. These Michelin tires stop in the wet weather, and don’t spin upon leaving a stoplight. In the winter, when you get the slippery conditions with just a small amount of snow, the kind where you don’t know if it’s black ice or just wet? These tires excel! They grip, stop, turn and track like you would hope. I’ve owned pickup’s most of my entire adult life, these are my favorite tires I’ve ever purchased. I’ve owned all the major brands as well. They are quiet and ride nice, (for a truck tire). They are not aggressive but provide good traction in the winter months and are stable on slippery conditions. I like that the tire sipes go all the way through as well.

Horrible Roaring Road Noise!!

They ride and steer Great!! But they sound HORRIBLE...."roaring" road noise from 30-70 mph, droning sound so bad that you can't even hear yourself think. If you want to buy them back or swap them, would be happy to. Very disappointed with the Defender2's, have always had good luck with your Michelin brand until now.

FULL SET

I JUST GOT A FULL SET OF TIRES LESS THAN A WEEK AGO. CAN'T REALLY RATE THEM FAIRLY YET. I CAN SAY THAT I AM ENJOYING THEM SO FAR. THEY ARE NOT NOISEY. THEY HAVE A LONGER LIFE THAN THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS NEW. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A NICE LONG TREADLIFE WITH THESE TIRES.
