Michelin Defender2 - 225/50R17 98H Tire

These replaced the originals that were 6 plus years old.  So far, the ride has been very smooth and quiet.

Great replacement tires

Michelin Defender 2 or the LTX

These tires are awesome! I upgraded to these from my factory installed tires. I can't believe the difference in ride quality and handling.

Great tires

It's only been a week, but what a difference with these tires! Much quieter and more stable than the originals with 47,000 miles that they replaced.

Good grip on wet surfaces

hello....I had heard that these tires are tricky on wet roads but they are excellent and I will buy them again when I need a new set.

Defender 2 tires

Michelin continues to have a good reputation. tires feel solid. smooth, quiet ride. i like the made in USA part.

consistently good

Purchased yesterday and driven 30 miles currently. Review is based on experience with tire center and minimal driving in wet weather.

Day Two Review

My Honda CRV rides much better with these tires on vehicle than original tires that came with vehicle.

great tire

I just bought and registered these tires. I have high expectations of them due to the reputation of Michelin.

reputation

Loud tire noise. Sounds like they are out of balanced and causing vibrations, makes my camry sound like a helicopter.

Michelin Defenders 2 are not for me

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.
