Maybe I am missing something

Not sure where the outstanding ride quality reviews come from. Placed these on a Kia Telluride and the ride quality is noticeably rougher. The vehicle always appears to sway back and forth and you feel every bump.

Should be standard on new cars

I have driven my Honda Civic for 10 years. My only complaint was road noise. My new Michelin tires are a godsend. New cars should have premium tires!!

Good in snow.

It's too soon to comment on durability however with the recent heavy snow falls in Toronto, the Defender 2 tires were the best performing all season tires we have had to date.

Better Control and Quieter

With these tires, there is less road noise, the ride is smoother, and it seems that the steering is more precise.

Just what I expected.

Would be nice if you list Puerto Rico in your drop down for registration. Have to use my home state of Idaho.

Great tires

I switched from Continental, these Michelin tires are fantastic. The Michelins ride better, handle better and are much quieter. I will never buy another brand. I have had Michelin on my last 4 cars. None better.

Best tire I’ve ever used

I’ve been purchasing these tires for all my car for many years. They are very dependable, and last the miles listed as long as I rotate them every oil change.

This is my second set of these tires. Was very pleased with the first set. Price was a bit high, but I have always gotten good service out of Michelin tires.

I will buy again and recommend to friends.

These are the fifth or sixth set of Defenders I have purchased and love them. Quite durable, great tread life, great handling and very good in wet and snow conditions. I will buy again and recommend to friends.
