I have been disappointed twice now with these tires on my Subaru Forester. Twice they have not reached their supposed warranty of 80,000. They didn’t make it to 50,000 before they needed to be replaced.

This is not my first set of Michelins. It took the original equipment tire on my vehicle to be replaced to remind me of Michelins quiet and handling. Perhaps my next car should come equipped with OEM MIchelins?

Just got them today. A rather expensive set of tires but having already put 50 miles on them I can say it's a very comfortable riding tire for my AWD vehicle.

I always respected the Michelin “name” but didn’t think I could afford them. They came highly recommended by my tire dealer. Now that I have driven with them I love them, and I will always buy Michelins.

Haven't put a lot of kms on the Defender 2s yet but so far so good. Much quieter and smoother ride than previous tires. Hopefully the durability of the tires is as expected for Michelin tires.

It is like I had a different suspension system installed on the vehicle, incredible change in ride, quiet, smooth, over "changing" surfaces of roadways.

I’ve always appreciated the durability, performance, and comfortable ride that Michelin tires provide…certainly not my first purchase and definitely won’t be my last!

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.

The Defender 2 tires on my 2016 RAV4 are the perfect mat h for me. Excellent blend of performance, long wear and comfort for my hybrid. Very happy with these tires.

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.
