I'm sure the Defender 2 will last a long time. These tires seem to have a stiffer sidewall and harder rubber compound than the OEM tires my Toyota Highlander came with. The Defender 2 ride is much harsher and after about 15K miles they got noisy on smoother road surfaces. I also noticed the wet traction really got worse around 15K miles. I am dreading that I may have to drive on these tires for 3-4 more years, but tires are too expensive to replace them already. I will not buy them again.

I can't recommend these tires enough! We have them on our CRV. They have 95,000 miles on the tire themselves-maybe a bit more. Last time we had them checked @ 93,000 miles they still 4 tread depth! I'm just patiently waiting for the best sale to put new ones on. Don't skip these tires. No hydroplaning in water, great in snow- did good in ice, great on the highway! All have weared equally as well.

I came here and read reviews and was impressed because I wanted a quiet and smooth ride in my 2024 Nissan Rogue. These are both IMPORTANT issues because my career requires daily travel. I am so DISAPPOINTED. The ride is rough and Road noise is horrible. I'm returning to dealer tomorrow to see what can be done. Ive had them two weeks.

Great tire for my Subaru Outback. Performance is as expected. Good traction and braking. Cornering is adequate, but I haven't really pushed it anywhere close to the limit. It is not as quiet as I expected, but I guss that is the price I pay for treadlife.

Michelin has always been my first choice because I have had them many times over the years. Well known name, great handling, promotions at times which help with the expense.

The tires have been on my SUV for 2 weeks and I've driven about 600 miles on them. They grip the road well and braking is good though they are not that quiet on the highway. It's too soon for me to give an accurate estimate about anything else.

These tires are wonderful! Great treadwear, traction, and best of all, they're extremely quiet. This is why I always trust Michelin products. Thanks for offering such a valuable product.

Great all-around tire. Noticeably smoother ride, solid grip on roads, especially during rain and snow. Tread seems to be holding up well, though I try not to be too hard on start/stops regardless. Very pleased with them after 9 months.

The ride with my defender 2 tires makes driving my car enjoyable again. The gripping and at the same time the smooth ride is amazing. The only complaint I have is the rebate, it states 6-8 weeks. It been over 3 months and I'm still waiting.

I am a Michelin consumer of many years. Just replaced my set of Cross Climate after driving 56K miles. Purchased the Defender 2. The ride is superb! I feel confident I will be able to drive on them for the full 80k mile warranty.
