Without a doubt in my mind, the best overall tire for performance, noise levels, ability to hold the road at any speed in any kind of weather, comfort and handling.....cost is excellent for such an amazingly quiet and comfortable ride.

Just got them installed and my ride feels brand new. Nice smooth ride and great handling. I can tell these tires will last a long time. Mostly drive in desert climate with lots of sand on the road and my van has great traction.

I purchased a new set of tires for my wife's Ford Escape. I have always been a Michelin fan and after installation, she commented on how quiet and smooth the ride was now.

Great handling, part of my travel is on gravel road (under construction), I was able to move along beautifully, with smooth, even ride, hardly and noise.

4 months and 3000 kms after, all I can say is ....great choice! They are solid in heavy rain plus I noticed that my Economy improved a lot. Those tires are made with performance and longevity in mind. Well worth it is the bottom line.

Tires are super quiet and they are very comfy. I’m starting. I was looking for some alternative cheap options but ultimately I went with the Michelin defender 2s and I would say they are definitely worth the money they cost!!

Straight away, I'm impressed with these tires. It's far too soon to make any judgement in terms of longevity, but the ride quality and the quietness is superb.

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.

I have been driving on Michelin tires for many years and my father used Michelin tires for years. I will be purchasing a new set of winter tires in November from Michelin. I find the tires are very reliable and comfort when travelling.

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.
