Michelin Defender2 - 215/60R17 96H Tire

Bought the Defender 2 based on the durability, handling, and performance of the tires.  Added bonus they look great on the SUV.

Nice features.

I purchased a new set of 4 Michelin tires in late May 2025 and at this point I am more that satisfied with so far with my purchase.

Michelin Tires Purchase

So far getting great service from the tires. To early to rate terrain, durability. Traction so far is good. 
My car handles like it’s brand new.

Still new

Just got my all 4 tires replaced and my car feels brand new. Looking forward to see how well these preform but so far I am happy.

Feels great to drive

I have had very good experiences with Michelin tires 
They out last all other manufacturers that I’ve used in the past .

Consistency in manufacturing quality

These are by far the best tires I have ever had. They way out perform the latitude that were original equipment. They only went 42,000 miles

Great all around tires but spendy!

Wow what a smooth quiet ride!  Handles great.  The performance and traction in rain have been outstanding

Great Tires

Not as good a tire as previous tires, required more weights for balancing. Ride not as smooth
not real happy with this set of tires

poor workmanship, I think the tires should have been rejects

Quiet, all season tire with excellent reaction. Great warranty. Michelin goes on all of my vehicles!

Great tires.

What a smooth ride and handles good.  Traction is outstanding in wet roads and very pleased with performance.

I am very disappointed with the Michelin Defender 2.  The 4 tires are rated for 80,000 miles.  However, I am experiencing uneven wear (feathering) on al 4 tires at 12,000 miles.  I have documentation to prove I have been aligning my tires at Firestone since the tires were purchased new.  The shocks and struts are new on my vehicle.  However, I am experiencing noisy tires, and the roads feel bumpy all the time.

Poor Reliability

We are very pleased with the Michelin Defender 2 tires that we just purchased for our Ford Escape Titanium. This vehicle is a medium sized SUV so it is light and has turbo so it is quick to respond to changes in speed or direction. Consequently, we are concerned about the tires ability to be stable on windy highways and grip the road at higher speeds and when turning corners especially in wet weather. Since this is early spring and winter road damage has not yet been repaired, they are surprisingly smooth when going over rough roads and occasional potholes and uneven roads. They are also well priced for this level of performance.
