Bought my Defender 2 tires today 11/18/2024. Have to say that on the way home on the interstate with some new asphalt and some new pavement I noticed a hum inside the car that was not there before. Was hoping these new tires would be quiet. Maybe they will break in maybe not.

I only use Michelin Tires on both of my vehicles, and have for many years, Michelin Defenders in the summer & Michelin X-Ice in the winter. I have always received great service, traction & ride, and highly recommend Michelin Tires to my Family & anyone who has asked.,

I purchased my Michelin Defender 2 radials as replacements for my unacceptable OEM tires when we purchased our new 2024 Subaru Forester, insisting that the dealer replace those tires with the much-superior Defender 2s. It caused a bit of a stir but they went along with it and we couldn't have been happier since then. Between the Ice-X 3s that we roll with during the winter months, our Forester is "Michelin-covered" year-round and for many years to come!

These are the oem tires on my Xterra off-road and after only 18k miles they will need to be replaced. I don't do any hard driving, mostly light city driving and occasionally highway. The side walls are cracking, so I am not even sure they will make it to the end of summer. The tread is so low at this point that they will absolutely have to be replaced by winter for safety reasons.

I got these tires new on my 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 and overall I'm very happy with the ride and handling. The problem I'm having is that the sidewalls started coming apart at around 25000mi. I currently have 40k miles on the truck and the sidewall continues to flake off in larger quarter sized chunks. I had these tires on a Jeep Cherokee and this wasn't a problem. I'm at the point where I need to replace the tire, the sidewalls look awful and the tread is pretty low. 40-45k miles are the most I'd put on these. This truck is used for daily driving and city towing, little or no off road.

I bought the Michelin Defender 2 with a $100 rebate in March 2023. Changed over to Michelin X-Ice for the winter. I highly recommend the Defender 2. It handled well and is very quiet. I've just changed back from the X-Ice to the Defender 2 so this will be my second summer on these tires. I'm sure they will be great all spring, summer and fall.

142,800 miles and they still had 4/32 tread on them. I was going to make them last to 150,000 but I got a hole in the right front tire that was to close to the sidewall to fix. Definately bought the same tires for replacement. I will be disappointed if my new ones don't go 150,000 miles. lol

tires now have 50 thousand still few thousand left. is good tire not sure how good in snow or mud or dirt. does ok in rain pickup is tacoma 2007, never rotated looks all good the tires . the t rates them for toyota 110 miles an hour or more. i dont understan those who gotless miles on them maybe there car or truck is heavy would wear tires more

I have used Michelin's on all my vehicles for many years. When I bought my 2014 Durango, it came with another brand. After 20,000 miles or so they were wearing. Michelins have been on it ever since and I not have almost 50,000 on them and not near wear points yet. Great traction in wet weather, low noise, and smooth ride. What not to like.

My Nissan Titan Pro4 X truck came with these tires in 2008 and I just put my second pair on the truck. The handling, low road noise, long wear, and dependability make them worth much more than I paid for them. If this set lasts as good as the other I will never have anything else on my trucks from here on out.
