I don’t know where to start with these tires. Such an improvement over my original tires, I went through one season, about 12k miles, and couldn’t ride on the, any longer. They just wouldn’t stop or hold the road I wet weather. They looked like new. These Michelin tires stop in the wet weather, and don’t spin upon leaving a stoplight. In the winter, when you get the slippery conditions with just a small amount of snow, the kind where you don’t know if it’s black ice or just wet? These tires excel! They grip, stop, turn and track like you would hope. I’ve owned pickup’s most of my entire adult life, these are my favorite tires I’ve ever purchased. I’ve owned all the major brands as well. They are quiet and ride nice, (for a truck tire). They are not aggressive but provide good traction in the winter months and are stable on slippery conditions. I like that the tire sipes go all the way through as well.

I have over 110,000 miles on my 2010 Ram 2500, 4x4, diesel. Still have good tread. I just think I may need more for this winter. I highly recommend them and my son-in-law just put a set of Goodrich AT tires on his new Ford. Needless to say I'm going to put on another set.

The Michelin Defender 2 is an excellent upgrade for my 2018 Honda Civic EX-T. They offer great traction, smooth handling, and a quiet, comfortable ride. Wet and dry performance is impressive, and the ride feels more refined. With an 80,000-mile tread life, they seem durable and long-lasting. Overall, a solid choice for reliability and comfort.

I have been driving on michelin tires for 20 years now. I will always be driving on michelin tires. I have been driving now for over 50 years and on many other tire brands as well but michelin tires will always be on my vehicles now. Great company to deal with if you have an issue.

Buying Michelin Tires goes back many years starting with my family. Paying a higher price for a tire is worth every cent and the warranty on the Michelin Defender 2 goes a long way on the wear and tear on the tires. The Defender 2 is a quite and smooth tire and I am very satisfied with the performance of the tire.

Sorry, but the Defender 2 tires have really been a disappointment for me! They are not as quiet as I expected, they are an 80000 mile tire and I'm at 30000 and need tires. The handling has been very good in rain and snow and dry, but now the wear bars are showing and I am concerned they may not be good in rain. I'm very disappointed with this set of tires. Only 2 years old and 30000 miles and need to be replaced. No more Michelin for me!

My son replaced the factory original tires on his Toyota Tundra Crew cab with these tires. They did not last more than 25,000 miles before they needed to be replaced. He gave the truck to me when it had 14.000 miles.It has 47,000 now The gas millage and handling were normal but the poor millage obtained is making me replace them with a different tire It seems that every other revied here has the same complaint :-(

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.

These are not like the Defender LTX. Disappointed in the ride and look. The side walls look like something you would put on a SUV or Truck that would be trail riding. The side wall is not a smooth design like the LTX. The Defender 2 seem like they are pushing my crossover. In fact I looked at the tire wondering was it one directional. It is not. I would not recommend for small Crossovers. Note: I have Defender LTX on our 4 Runner and FJ Cruiser. The Defender LTX is a 5 Star. The Defender 2 definitely not a 5 Star.

I bought a set of four of the Defender 2 model earlier this month expecting them to be an improved version of my previous Michelin Defender tires. What I didn’t know until I got home and had a chance to look them over more closely was that the traction rating is “B,” unlike the previous model of tires which were rated “A” for traction. What a disappointment! Why would you have this mediocre traction design to the Defender 2, Michelin? My only other Michelin option for the size I need was the snow tire model, but I wanted year round, all season tires and that left the Defender 2 as the remaining choice. While it’s great to buy tires made in the USA, this traction B rating seems rather bush league coming from such a renowned manufacturer.
