Michelin Defender2 - 225/50R17 98H Tire

Quiet/smooth, great in the rain. Confident tire and durable. Run them on both vehicles.

Super tire overall

Amazing how different these tires feel driving.  What a big difference!!!

Michelin makes a good tire. We have complete confidence in the set we bought.

Great tires!

Really bad traction in the rain and on wet roads.

Not good in rain

Wears great but makes a little noise as they wear

Great tires for summer and fall. Love them. Quiet and good cornering.

The Defender 2 tires have been on for a 6000 km. Tires are very quiet. They track well

Too early to tell.  Tires were installed yesterday and have been driven about 10 miles.

Very smooth riding. Stop traction seems well.

Nice tire

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

We are very pleased with the Michelin Defender 2 tires that we just purchased for our Ford Escape Titanium. This vehicle is a medium sized SUV so it is light and has turbo so it is quick to respond to changes in speed or direction. Consequently, we are concerned about the tires ability to be stable on windy highways and grip the road at higher speeds and when turning corners especially in wet weather. Since this is early spring and winter road damage has not yet been repaired, they are surprisingly smooth when going over rough roads and occasional potholes and uneven roads. They are also well priced for this level of performance.
