Exceptional Life

Under regular rotation and balance, tires easily made it past 70,000 miles; traction and handling was excellent over life of tires.

Love them

The tires are great. I always prefer Michlin tires regardless of the type of car or SUV I drive. Very reliable.

Great tires

I replaced my worn-out tires with Defender 2. It drives like a new car. The ride is smooth and quiet. I am happy so far! Will see how long they last.

Great tires

Great tires. Like the construction and performance. Much better design than the original factory tires. The ride is much more sturdier.

Great tires

Best tires made. Bar none. I put these on my daughter's SUV for peace of mind and knowing she will be safe.

Tires are harsher noisier and less fuel efficient than the pirelli I removed. Hope they exceed I wear

Had them for 60,000 miles. No troubles at all. May get close to the 80000 mile mark. Smooth ride, great handling!

Great tires

I switched from Continental, these Michelin tires are fantastic. The Michelins ride better, handle better and are much quieter. I will never buy another brand. I have had Michelin on my last 4 cars. None better.

Not as described. Dissapointed

Tires are noisy. They do not grip well in wet conditions. Was debating between the Michelins and Contenentals LX 25's. Have the Contenentals on 2 other vehicles and they are a much better tire. Wish I wouldn't have purchased these tires

Excellent performance

Just completed a 3,000 mile road trip in my 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe equipped with new Defender2 tires. Smooth driving, low road noise on interstates, and nicely gripped curvy Rocky Mountain roads. Happy with my purchase.
