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.

235 65 R18 106h Mitchelin Defender 2

Vehicle: 2020 Toyota Highlander xle Hybrid Tire size: 230 65 R18 I saw some reviews on reddit saying these Mitchelin Defender 2 were a great choice, and with further research, I decided to get them on the wife's highlander. The wife mentioned that the noise level was much quieter, more comfortable, and felt lighter compared to her previous tire, the GoodYear Reliant that walmart offers. I'd say the Reliant tires lasted around 2 years with highway driving most of its life. We've only had these Defender 2 for about a week, so only time can tell how long these Defenders will last. The wife is happy she likes the tires. We are located in central California, and using them all 4 seasons, the Defender 2 tire is rated for 106h and the highlander is rated for 106v which is determining how fast and heavy the vehicle can handle but we never exceed those ratings its a good dad to day use for highways and all season.

Great deal on a set of all weather tires

i ordered these tired with a promo on the ourchase of four. I saved hubdreds compared tot he price the local dealership service center gave me. I also received discount on installation and the road warranty because I'm a plus member. So far my suv is riding better and handles better in inclement weather and I'm really happy with my purchase.

Seems great so far. Ride is smooth and quiet. Worked well in recent rains and wet roads.

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.

2nd time having these tires. Best riding tire I've ever had. Quiet and the 1st set still had tread and dealership said had just reached the time to change at 90,000 miles.
