Purchased 5 months ago. They ride smooth, fairly quiet with the windows down, handle curves nicely, great traction on wet roads.

I don't know if it's because they are new, or if it's the vehicle, but the tire noise inside the car is dramatic.

Michelin Defender 2 or the LTX is most awesome Tire I've ever owned super silent, has no bounciness Great Tire

We bought this set of 4 tires last week and already noticed they are more quiet than our previous tires and offer a softer ride. Very Happy

I love Michelin tires, will not buy any other brand again if I can help it. Most comfortable, quiet longest lasting tires I have ever had.

These tires have only been used for a handful of days, but I can feel the difference when I'm driving in the snow

I prefer Michelin tires. These new tires are durable, have an excellent warranty and provide a quiet ride.

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

My husband and I are extremely pleased with our defender 2 tires. We will use nothing but Michelins going forward.

The Defender 2 tires are better than the OEM tires, better ride (smoother) and quieter (minimal road noise).
