Smooth Ride

I only buy Michelin tires. Your ride just glide down the highway. You can feel as you drive if a tire is low due to the weather. Riding on Michelin just makes me feel good, while driving.

Sam's Club Plus Member

Angela (Lakeshore Sam's Club Representative) in Tire and Battery dept was very helpful. These tires are the best and they ride as smooth as a baby's bottom. I would recommend these to anyone. I have No complaints and Ms. Angela helped me save lots of money with the added perks being a plus member.

Defender 2 tires are great!

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.

You can't buy a better tire.

Having sold Michelin tires for about 30 years I know these tires perform better than any other tires. Better stopping, starting and fuel efficiency are the hallmarks of Michelin products. They improve the ride quality and overall performance of my car.

Capability In Bad Weather

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.

Michelin Good, Pirelli Bad.

The tires are great. I originally purchased some Pirellis scorpion. The Pirellis were trash, exchanged them for the Michelin and its been a great improvement. Better ride, quieter and most of all they do not peel out at every corner nor acceleration on my camry as they did with the Purellis.

TIRES ARE OK BUT HAVE ROAD NOISE

Bought 4 replacement tires for my 2017 Rav4, tires are just as noisy as my original OEM tires. Was hoping for quieter ride, but the same. Set pressure to 32 psi, but no difference. My winter Michelins are quieter, Defenders are a harder rubber with gives them longer life, but increase road noise.

Poor Reliability

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.
