I am a contractor and drive in many condition. These tire handle fine on the highway. However they are about worthless in any other condition. In snow, mud or wet grass they do not have any traction. The tread fills up and you have slicks. I am not impressed with the tread life. I have had these on two vehicles booth dodge 2500. One was a diesel and the other gas. Booth trucks had worn tires within 15,000 miles and needed to be replaced. That was with rotating them every time oil was changed. Every 4 to 5 thousand miles. I you plan on driving in any condition other than highway chose another tire. I don't expect great wear with a 2500 series truck but i have had much better luck with other brand tires.

Tires wear very evenly, and were very great for the fuel economy and highway travel. However, I only got about 30,000 mi out of them and did not preform very well at all off road. I would recommend if you do alot of highway driving, and if you do not have a high torque vehicle such as a diesel.

Reviewed everything I could to make sure mom is set up on something safe. Car O.E tires where Continental Contipro Touring. And they were wonderful but seems like these Michelin Defender 2 tired are going to take the Cake! Especially on the roads she's on. They gotta handle well in rain and snow definitely Michelin does both well. Hope the 80k hold up. The Tred is very thick and built well. Good for dirt roads as well. Very responsive on hiway. Thanks Michelin, for keeping mom safe!

Best set of tires I have ever had. I have 100,000 on the tires and they have many more miles left on them. I have a 2500 Dodge Ramp Quad Cab that spends most of its time towing a 3 horse slant gooseneck trailer to barrel races, horse shows and back country trail rides. This truck is also the family vehicle so it gets all kinds of use other than hwy miles. I have never in my life had a set of tires come anywhere close to lasting this long. This is the only tire I will buy to replace these and I'm sharing my story with all my friends and family.

These tires have been great in performance. Love the way they handle in snow and rain. The tires were on the truck (2014 Titan PRO 4) when I bought the truck new. Thought there were some of the best tires I have ever had. Now I am 30k miles on the tires, not even 1/2 the rated life of the tires. The tires need replaced. Had the tires rotated at the dealership as recommended by truck owners manual.

I recently purchased these to replace my set of 70,000 mi Energi that came on my car from the OEM. First thoughts of the Defender were good until I had to drive on the highway. The amount of groove wander I have with these tires is alarming. In fact so alarming, I had to stop driving on the highway because I thought a wheel was loose. I took the car to the dealer where they had it for three days trying to figure what I was complaining about. I think they are a good tire just not suited for my Fusion.

I researched tires for my 2018 Nissan Rogue and read good reviews for this tire. I was looking for quiet and a smooth ride. I just drove home from the tire store and am hugely impreased with the ride! I don't know about longevity yet but am looking forward to the future.

After purchasing the Michelin Defender 2 tires for my Lexus ES350, I have decided to get a new set for my RX350 with 245/50R20. The New Defender 2 tires have great handling performance in dry and wet weather conditions, and it also provides very quite and comfortable ride! In addition, it’s great to know that the New Defender tires will last for a very long time. I like the new tires very much and very happy with the choice I made.

When we bought our new 2024 Subaru Forester it came with unacceptable tires which I insisted that the dealer replace with a set of Michelin Defenders. I had researched all tire offerings for this vehicle and these proved to be the highest-rated and best value and they have not disappointed me in any way. Premium rubber for a competitive price is always a great value. That your life and the lives of your family are at stake makes the decision an easy one. As we also roll on Michelin X-Ice 3s in the winter means that we will be covered for years to come!

In 7000 miles on the current Rugged Trails, they have handled well in wet, dry, and mild off-road conditions. In the packed snow on the roads in the mountains, I expected the tires to slip in several situations, but was surprised at the amount of grip they had. Wear is minimal so far with the E rated tires on my 3/4 ton Dodge and I am satisfied with these tires as the original equipment on the truck.
