Great tires!

Love the Michelin Defender 2 tires! First purchased a set for my wife's car. When it was time to replace tires on my car, no question which tire to go with. The tires have a smooth ride, but also grip the road well. Great traction in both wet and dry conditions.

great durability

I love the performance of my tires. Have been buying michelin for years and will not change. Matter of fact I put these on my 2017 honda in April and got a new honda in june. I insisted they switch the tires off the new vehicle and put my michelins on it which they did

Defender on Volvos

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.

Quiet but lacks performance

Very quiet tire but very poor grip and a weak sidewall. These are probably great for high milage fleet vehicles or rentals but not for any vehicle one might drive spiritedly. Do not drive these hard in the rain, you may die. I replaced a set of Yokohama's with these and to be honest, I got better performance from the worn out Yok's. Now I know these are not a performance grade tire by any means, but I did expect a little better from Michelin.

Comfort Ride

When I drove away from the shop that installed my new Michelins, I was impressed by how quiet my car became. Handling was smooth and easy compared to my old tires. They look great on my car and I'm looking forward to years of comfortable driving on them !!!!

Terrible rain performance

These tires are absolute garbage in the rain after 3 months. Whatever changed from previous defenders they should go back to. I tried with 90+ percent treadwear to have them warrantied and the credit offered was insulting. I have used defenders for ages but Michelin has lost me as a customer for life. Bas bad as the OE Hankook tires in civics. Never again. Premium price for awful wet performance.

Excellent Tores. Well worth the money

Factory tires had worn and was time to replace. Did lots of research before buying and these seemed to fit my needs (Quit, smooth ride with a good tread life.) The Defender 2 has not disappointed. Minimal, if any road noise, smooth ride and excellent grip in rain and snow. You get what you pay for and in this case, these were a bit more than others, but well worth the money spent.

Great Ride

I'm a retired Red Seal Mechanic and I have never in my 45 years of experience had any issues with Michelin Tires. Most notably thing about installing and balancing Michelin tires is how well they fit along with minimal weights required to balance Michelin tires. Needless to say if you require 1oz or more in weight to balance a Michelin tire, then check your Rim! Michelin tires are also one of the quietest tires on the road, as well as superb performance! We have a saying in the mechanic world around these parts! Once you drive with Michelin Tires on your vehicle, you will not want to drive on anything else!

Very Quiet Tires

I have a 2014 Subaru Forester and I need quiet tires. These tires are very, very quiet on the highway.
