Michelin Primacy MXV4s were the tires replaced by these. The biggest difference between the two is that the Defender 2s are much better in rain, snow, and slush, which is the reason I got them. My biggest concern was that they would be louder on the highway and they are not. The MXV4 is a fine tire, but these make my car more capable in bad weather.

If you are looking for new tires for your Ford Edge or any vehicle, I highly recommend the MICHELIN DEFENDER 2. I hated the way my car sounded when I drove. Coming from a Cadillac CTS, the Edge has loud road noise. I needed new tires and spent the extra money and got the Michelins. Totally changed the ride of the car!!! So smooth and quieter. Feels like a new car! You will not be disappointed!

Nice at first, but every time I rotate they handle poorly. They seem to overinflate after driving on the highway and are atrocious, worse after about 30000 miles. I would throw these on a minivan, not an Avalon. If you don't care about ride quality or handling these are your tires.

Feel tires are great thus far. No road noise. Have had Michelins before and find this make are one of the best!

I could feel the difference! Car felt more stable on the turns and handled great on gravel and asphalt.

Great tires! I feel safer now, great traction and stability. Excellent in snowy Michigan winters, wet roads, really a good buy and gret price. Excellent warranty

2024 Honda CRV Hybrid sporty L, Tires grip the road are whisper quiet and make the ride feel taller, very comfortable and smooth ride. 100 times better than the original factory set. zero road noise I highly recomend these tires for any Small suv.

Defender 2 design will provide excellent traction, durability and grip! Excited for the long-term wear too.

Noticed quieter & smoother ride immediately but that may just be the difference between my Hankook’s with 5/32” tread vs. these with 10.5/32” tread.

Rides like a dream on EQUINOX V-6 . Tread wear even with rotation . Holds up to unforeseen pot holes. 2nd set wouldn't run anything else .
