I purchased a set of these tires a month ago. They do not ride smooth and they are noisy. They sound like I am driving a pick up truck with off road tires.

I purchased this tire over a month a go, and so far they're are performing great on the road. The tires provide a smooth a road, perform great when it rains, and are fairly quiet on the road. Great overall tire!

Bought 4 in spring 2019.got 151000 km.replcing next week. Vehicle came with them replaced once now replacing again. My gmc terrain has 319000 km on it. I purchased new

Just bought these tires to replace some that were failing at 17000 miles. I hope these will do as good as other Michelin tire in past which when farther that expected

Been on my car since April 2024. They handle Quebec roads, so they can be good anywhere. Smooth, quiet and amazing confident feeling when I was caught in heavy rain on two occasions

I've had these tires on my 2011 traverse for 7 years and still have decent tread on them, gonna buy another set when needed. nice quiet tire good traction in all weather here in Michigan.

I bought in April. They are advertised as quiet but we’re as loud as my winter tires. I suffered all summer thinking they may get better but did not. I will rate them in next spring and hope Michelin will help.

I just got 4 Defener 2 installed today, but obviously, it's a very quiet tire. The noise level is even lower than my old tire, almost bald. On the road, I can only hear the tire noise from the car on my next lane.

I noticed an immediate improvement in the comfort of the ride. I drive on a concrete highway that tends to create a lot of tire noise. It has quieted dramatically since I have had these tires.

I researched tires for my 2013 Mazda3 and came to the many good reviews for the Defender 2. After driving around town, I can feel the difference between my OEM tires and the Defender 2. Definitely a lot less noise!
