Michelin Defender2 - 225/50R17 98H Tire

Bought the Defender 2 based on the durability, handling, and performance of the tires.  Added bonus they look great on the SUV.

Nice features.

michelinman.com

I purchased a new set of 4 Michelin tires in late May 2025 and at this point I am more that satisfied with so far with my purchase.

Michelin Tires Purchase

Michelin tires are the only tires I consider. Great lifetime mileage and I and comfortable transporting my family on Michelin tires. I give the a 10.

Not as good a tire as previous tires, required more weights for balancing. Ride not as smooth
not real happy with this set of tires

poor workmanship, I think the tires should have been rejects

These are by far the best tires I have ever had. They way out perform the latitude that were original equipment. They only went 42,000 miles

Great all around tires but spendy!

My wife loves the defender 2 as it handles so well in heavy rain plus gives a smooth ride, Great work

LONG LASTING I HAVE BEEN USING THESE MODEL TIRES ON ALL OF MY VEHICLES
ON MY CUSSRENT LEXUS I HAVE ALREADY 50000 MILES ON IT ANS STILL GOING GOOD

LONG LASTING TIRES!

Highest performance and best ride I have ever had from a Lt truck tire.  Improves fuel economy by over one mpg as well.

Even improves fuel economy

I have had very good experiences with Michelin tires 
They out last all other manufacturers that I’ve used in the past .

Consistency in manufacturing quality

The tires provide a smooth ride on the highway. The tires seem to hung the road when when coming around corners.

Great features!

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.
