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.

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.

Michelin: If you want the best tire made!

I have used Michelin tires on numerous vehicles since I bought my first set in 1968. Handling is superior to any other tire I’ve used. I’ve even used them without balancing them without experiencing vibrations so I think they are quite precisely constructed. If vehicle is in alignment and rotation is done these Defender 2 tires will wear longer than the 80,000 mile warranty. Michelin tires have improved the ride of every vehicle I’ve put them on. Currently I own two vehicles, 2017 Toyota Sienna and 2024 Nissan Ariya both of which have Defender 2 tires on them and significantly add to the quietness and ride quality of both vehicles.

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.

Plush and soft

Those tires are not supporting the character of a BMW. They feel very plush, no feedback from the road, and just way too soft. Will not buy them again. I drove over 4000 miles in long distance rides. When arrived we feel still swimming. I had the suspicion checked, which according to BMW is good.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the Defender 2 tires did not meet your expectations for handling and road feel.

Disappointed

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.

Loud, noisy and rough.

Hello, I purchased Defender 2 tires for my 2022 Pacifica Minivan. That was the last time I purchase these tires. From day one I noticed very rough and loud driving. These tires amplify every little imperfection on the road even though Michelin claims uncompromised comfort and a quiet drive. This is very uncomfortable and upsetting. Extremely disappointed with this purchase.
