James, thank you for sharing your feedback on the Defender 2 tires. We’re glad to hear the tires are quiet, perform well in frozen snow, handle rain confidently and show good wear! We appreciate your note about performance in slushy conditions. This helps us continue improving our products. If you ever have questions or need support, feel free to give us a call at 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).

We’re sorry to hear about the shaking you’re experiencing during acceleration. This type of concern can sometimes be related to factors such as tire balance, installation or alignment rather than the tire itself. We recommend visiting an authorized dealer to have the tires and vehicle inspected so they can help identify the cause and ensure everything is set up properly. If you'd like to discuss further, feel free to call the Michelin Consumer Care team 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST).
