Incredible ride

Despite having nearly 50k miles on my truck, after my new Michelin Defender2 tires were installed, it felt like I was driving a new vehicle. I was so pleasantly surprised I had to let someone know so I texted (using CarPlay of course) my wife and a friend.

Terrible rain performance

These tires are absolute garbage in the rain after 3 months. Whatever changed from previous defenders they should go back to. I tried with 90+ percent treadwear to have them warrantied and the credit offered was insulting. I have used defenders for ages but Michelin has lost me as a customer for life. Bas bad as the OE Hankook tires in civics. Never again. Premium price for awful wet performance.

Smooth and safe

Have Acura MDX. 150,000 km on set of Michelin defenders. They are still in excellent condition, many km's left. Excellent traction, smooth and quiet. Trust these for your family. Work well in snow, my wife has cross climate on her car which are slightly better in deep snow. But not as quiet or smooth. Take your pick.

Best Tires the Defender 2

I was using the earlier Defender tires then got the Defender 2 tires. These tires are fantastic. Have used them in summer with heavy rains also now during winter with heavy snow and freezing rain. They have stopped without any noise and even on recent bad weather. Thank you Michelin.

Can't do better than Michelin tires

These are true all-weather tires. Excellent traction for their first winter driving on ice and snow. If they live up to their expected life--80k miles, they'll be a great value

I love the tires. It snowed about 6 inches and didn’t have any trouble at all. The tires are very quiet and the ride is very smooth. I’m getting ready to purchase another set for my other vehicle.

Great Tire

I had 4 Defender XL with 20k miles. Great tire, however I had road hazard on 2. Because I have AWD all 4 needed to be replaced. Since I had the Defender tires before I stayed with the Defenders

Long life tires

I had these on my 1998 Grand Marquis, and my 2006 Buick Lucerne, best tires ever. Now I am getting ready to purchase them for my 2023 GMC Acadia. There is not a better tire made in my opinion than Michelan
