I always use Michelin all-season, winter xice tire. great tire, and each set lasts me about 120,000 kilometers.

Purchased Michelin winter tires last year and all seasons this year. Extremely happy with smooth and quiet ride.

Purchased to replace Bridgestone Ecopias on a 21 Venza that still had ample tread but became very noisy .

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

My wife loves the defender 2 as it handles so well in heavy rain plus gives a smooth ride, Great work

So far so goo

Very quiet ride!

Had to buy these Defender 2 tires a few months ago because the Premier LTX D/T tires were supposedly being discontinued. Tires are adequate but not as comfortable of a ride versus the Premier LTX D/T tires. Disappointed in the Defender 2 Traction and Temperature ratings of "B", they should be at least A or better yet AA. I will only buy Michelin tires as long as they have quality tires and strive to improve tire materials and traction control; especially, in wet weather where I live. Unfortunately the YOKOHAMA YK740 GTX were rated better (A traction and A temperature) than the Defender 2 tires ; however, I do not like Yokohama tires. I have not had the Defender 2 tires long enough to rate treadwear; however, I do not expect them to last even 50,000 miles. We shall see!
