I had to replace original Michelin tires they wore with only 21000 miles with defender2 tires and I find the ride to be very rough. The place I brought tires from said it’s the road and not the tire balance iam very disappointed in the ride I drive a lincoln

I put the Defender LTX M/S 2 on my truck because I drive a lot of highway miles but still need some decent off road traction periodically. These tires have performed exceptionally well - dry pavement, wet, or snow covered, they get the job done! They ride well for a 10 ply tire and increased my mpg as well. Been a Michelin guy for 50 years and these Defender series further cemented why I ride on their tires.

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.

Tires ride smoothly and quietly. Was hoping to replace my Michelin Primacy with another set of Michelin Primacy. Old tires had plenty of tread but were getting old (summer only car with low mileage). The Defender do not corner like the Primacy. The Primacy were more performance oriented and you can tell the difference. Unfortunately the Primacy in my tire size is no longer available (225R60/16). I do not drive like a race car driver but when I made a U-turn, you could tell they didn't grip the same. Also when making a left turn with and advanced light, sometimes I can tell my tires are slipping (accelerate a little too hard for the tires). I wish the Primacy were still available in my size.

Installed new Defender 2 mid April 2024. Very pleased with the handling when driving are 2015 Elantra. Notice a big difference in wet conditions. Like driving a different vehicle. Very pleased with the performance of this top notch tires. Definitely good value for the buck. Highly recommended.

I bought a new dodge in 2005 .i have only bought 5 sets of tires for it.my truck has 600,000 miles on it these are highway miles pulling a gooseneck trailor.i do not like the traction in snow,but i can average right at 100,000 miles per set.I will not put any thing else on my truck.i

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!

I always buy Michelin tires for my travel and performance vehicles. They are tough, dependable and long lasting. This is the second set of Michelin tires I have purchased for the Explorer. The first set had shorter stopping numbers than the Defender, but I went with these based on the dealer recommendation. Plus these are 80k mile tires. I have not driven them in the rain to test stopping distance due to the recent drought in Texas. But I can say they stand up to the 100+ heat at highway speeds. I highly recommend Michelin tires.

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.

These tires are great looking and provide a very comfortable ride on my 2010 tundra double cab 4x2. These were the factory tire for the sR5 TRD Off Road Wear very even but very quickly. I rotate every 5k and maintain pressur eto specs. They look great on the truck and handled very well. We had an ice storm two winters ago and i have to say, my 2wd did as great as can be expected )I am orginally from the north and have seen some pretty mean winter driving conditions. MY biggest gripe is that these tire wore pretty quickly I have 25k on them and need to replace them. Most of my driving is city/local so a lot of turning and the soft rubber just gets worn quickly. Great on the highway. The other shortfall, is the traction is a little weak in the woods--nothing muddy or rough--just really on some falt woodsy terrain...major slippiage and no suport for the traction control...I'm picky, but the wear was really disappointing for the price point. I probably wont buy these again.. Hope this is helpful
