The Michelin Defender 2 tires are wonderful, as well as dependable tires for a passenger car. The confidence of having the needed traction in all types of weather is an important factor.

The tires have been fantastic. Nice smooth ride and I feel very safe in the car. These tires were the right selection for what I wanted on my small SUV.

While my MPG did drop about 2 miles per gallon from my "other" former tires, handling especially in the rain big (huge) improvement..... Now, plus side a little more quite than brand x.... so Safety and quietness always wins in my book....

I immediately noticed a better ride quality. We drove the same route and bumps which jarred us before were smooth. I only put Michelin tires on our vehicles and have told family members to do the same.

Tires are great! Found them loud at first but a few months in they are good, car handles great. Bought them for my 2019 Impala!! Would definitely buy again!

Installed the defender on our XC70 ‘04 & XC90 ‘08. So far no complaints. Balanced nicely. Good ride. Ran in heavy rain in the XC90 and liked the performance, by the way XC90 size 255/50 19 so on the wider size. I will not be running them in winter as have separate snows.

I was disappointed when I saw the B rating on the traction for an all season radial. I would have preferred and 800 tread wear with an A traction for an all season radial. My fault for thinking all Michelin Defenders were A A rated when I was investigating the tires. The same name (Defender) across the line is confusing.

I am a dedicated Michelin fan. I think they are the absolute BEST tires in the world. I bought a set of Michelin Defender 2 tires for my 2020 GMC Terrain, but unfortunately, I was rear-ended on the freeway with less than 1,000 miles on the new tires. The car was declared "Total Loss" by the insurance company. Now, I have to wear down the tires on my replacement car's off-brand tires so I can put Michelins on it. Only then, will I feel safe and satisfied. Thank you for caring enough to make the best product money can buy!

I love the defender tire Michelin. The tires gripped the road really well . There was a car on a busy road and I didn’t see it right away and had to use the brakes fast. The tire really stopped quick. I was glad we had a brand new set of Michelin’s on a car.

I had defender tires on my old vehicle… super quiet and smooth. They made it 110,000 miles.. super happy. So I bought the new defender2 tire. Something has changed in the compound of the defender2 tire. Rides much rougher and and not nearly as quiet as the continental tires that came on my MDX. Decent … but not overwhelmed by these tires.
