Michelin Defender2 - 225/50R17 98H Tire

I used this tire on my '09 Honda Accord for years.  The last set lasted 6+ years.  I average 11,000-13,000 miles a year.  Wore great and evenly with regular rotations and alignments.  Now I'm getting them for my '18 Accord.  I really like the quality of this tire.

Good Quality

After purchasing the Michelin Defender 2 tires for my Lexus ES350, I have decided to get a new set for my RX350 with 245/50R20. The New Defender 2 tires have great handling performance in dry and wet weather conditions, and it also provides very comfortable and quiet ride! In addition, it’s great to know that the New Defender tires will last for a very long time with 80,000 miles warranty.  I like the new tires very much and happy with the choice I made.

EXCELLENT TIRES WITH GREAT PERFORMANCE AND QUIET RIDE

tires are bumpy when first ignition first turned on.  They are very stiff

I purchased a set of four tires about 3 months ago and they have performed as expected.

Highly Rated Michelin Tires

I have bought defender 2 for all 5 of my cars.  Great handling and last

Great tires

These tires provide a very smooth ride. The performance in bad weather conditions is awesome.

Great Tire

I know my michelin will last me minimum 5 years. Bought a new one again!

Love the look and performance of the tires.  Only negative is the ride quality.

Great long mileage tires!

As Far so good.  Really bought them for the winter we will know then.  Still waiting.......

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.
