I like Michelin tires to be honest. They cost a little more but seem to last longer. I have never done a TCO calculation but ai would guess the average cost per year is similar to cheaper tires and they come with better quality and performance.

Both of our vehicle's are on defenders the queit ride and confidence you get that your adventures will be as safe as possible the cars are not new 2012 and 2017 yet they ride like a new car which i credit to these defenders.

This is the second time I have put these Michelin Defender 2 AS tires on my car. They perform beautifully winter and summer and I am very pleased with the durability of these tires.

These Michelin Defender 2 tires are great tires and I’d buy them again. Long wearing , excellent on the highway, quiet, great traction (in fact we use them all winter long on our AWD RAV4) and competitively priced.

I have purchased 3 sets Defenders over the past year for my wife’s car and my daughter’s and mine. Had Uniroyal prior and the Michelins are far superior. Ride quality cannot be better or matched. Love these tires!

We have our tires on a Chrysler Pacifica and we travel a lot. These tires are very quiet and smooth which is our primary concern. Very happy with them,

Bought the Defender 2 for my 2018 Escape. Excellent tire. Much nicer ride and better control than the factory supplied Continental tires. Love these tires and the ride, nice a quiet too. Well worth the money.

I’ve always appreciated the durability, performance, and comfortable ride that Michelin tires provide…certainly not my first purchase and definitely won’t be my last!

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....

Michelin is a good brand have them on my Murano no problems with them lets see what they hold on the passat, I have always purchased michelin due to they are made with good quality
