Excellent product, excellent price.

I got a quote on these exact same tires at a local dealership just the day before. I was shocked at how much lower the price was at Sam’s. The service was excellent and it was great that the exact tire I needed was readily in stock. I like the road hazard warranties that come with the tire purchase and the convenience of purchasing them while I shop.

Walmart is rated last by consumer reports on tire installation but we beg to differ on that for the Cullman north department. They did a great job and we are very happy with our purchase and the service provided. 1 star off because we do not know about durability yet.

Michelin hit home run

Amazing when people clearly post stuff on review that make themselves sound ignorant. These tires are great examples of Michelin Engineering. Long tire life. Smooth ride and quiet. Choose the correct tire pressure for optimal wear I always run aprox 5-8 PSI over door sticker, so you don't wear to heavy on outside of tires. This gives you optimal tire contact and tread life. This also makes smoother turning and brings life to your steering Nice job michelin

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.

Quiet, high milage, and Michelin dependability!

Just replaced the tires (Dunlop) that came on my 2025 Toyota Camry with the Michelin Defender 2 tires. These are great tires with amazing traction. Very low road noise to the point that I was hearing my hybrid making sounds that were not noticeable before due to NOISY Dunlop tires. With high milage and the dependability of Michelin, I anticipate a good ride for the next 50K miles. Well done Michelin.

BEST tires

In 2015 our new car came with Michelin tires. At this time the mileage is 77,000. While the tread was less than new we didn't NEED new tires but wanted to put a new set on. The sale at Sam's also helped us make that decision so we purchased the Michelin Defender 2. They look great and we are happy with the smooth ride. They are guaranteed for 80,000 miles too!!! We always choose Michelin and Sam's is the place to go for tires and follow up tire care!!

Good Value with Expectation of Full Tire Life

These tires came "stock" on our Kia Telluride. The original tires lasted well past the expected life. I might add that we are not aggressive drivers. So, for the average driver, you can expect a great product with expectation of true results based on Michelin's advertising of this product. I might add, these tires pretty much run down the road silently (for a tire.)

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.
