It is like I had a different suspension system installed on the vehicle, incredible change in ride, quiet, smooth, over "changing" surfaces of roadways.

These tires have outperformed any tire I have purchased in the past. I drive long distance for work. I love the quiet smooth rides I receive with these tires. I will never choose another brand.

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.

Purchased three weeks ago. They ride Smooth and quietly. Gas mileage is the same. Did not worsen. Wet braking, dry braking both good but good brakes and driving at reasonable speeds in a rain storm has more to with braking than new tires.

I purchased them n the spring and I am very satisfied with the performance of the tire, no issues with rain, mud or day to day travel, would purchase again

I have a set of the Michelin on my CR-v and when it came time for my van's tires to be replaced, Michelin was the first place I went. I really appreciate the wear and tread life of the tires and will go back for Michelin again

These tires are the best I have ever owned. Smooth ride, great performance and handling, plus the roadside assistance package given with the purchase is worth the price. I just purchased another set of these for my other car.

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.

The Defender 2 is a great all weather tire. Good performance in wet or dry and quiet. The previous ratings that I had reviewed before making my purchase were accurate.

Just put 4 Defender 2’s on my Infinity QX60 (55k miles) and took a 100 mile trip and the ride was perfect. Very quiet, handled great. Highly recommend these new shoes!
