I purchased these tires from a local store after trying to get a different set that were discontinued or back ordered. I originally tried to buy the all-terrains because I've heard nothing but good things about them. When I ordered them I went into the store to get them put on and after they were mounted and I was told my truck was ready, I approached my vehicle and noticed that they weren't what I ordered. The dealer had told me that they weren't currently in stock in that these were the best tires that BFGoodrich makes. Because my truck was already two weeks passed inspection I said whatever and just decided I would deal with it since the BF Goodrich name has always been so good. Within a year of normal small City driving my tires are completely bald. I've been driving on them for the last 6 months because that $1,000 a set, I can't just go out and buy new tires. I currently have a decent amount of money saved up and will be buying a different brand. I am very disappointed in these tires. After being a driver for 20 years, these are by far the worst tires that I've ever had. That title was previously labeled to the tires that came on this truck but these have surpassed it by far. The store that I purchased these tires from had closed about a month after I bought them. Therefore there was nobody to honor a warranty.

These tires came with my 2011 Titan, and have worked pretty well. However, I picked up a screw last week and when I took it in to get patched the Tire guys said they were concerned with how much cracking was observed between the treads and were hesitent to even patch the tire because of that. I hadn't noticed this before, but sure enough, all four had pretty significant cracks running between the treads, and they only have 20,000 on them. I compared to the wife's good years with 50,000 and she doesn't have any cracking to speak of. Now I have to start planning to replace tires with 70% tread left - has anyone else had an luck with BFGoodrich standing behind these tires?

I have a F350 King Ranch Dually and have 138,400 Miles on my original factory BF Goodrich 17" tires, they have never been off the truck to date, and still going. Never rotated, never anything done to them except 1 plug from a nail hole. Maybe have 5,000 miles life left then time for new ones.

I bought these tires 2 weeks ago, took a bit for me to get used to these kinds of tires but I first needed to break them in 1st but once I placed 500 miles into them the driving experience became very different in a good way, compared to my previous tires which were Kumho's. I own a Hyundai Elantra 2019 and when I 1st bought it from the dealership which was a month ago, I noticed the suspension to be a bit stiff on bumpy roads but now with these Michelin Defenders 2 tires the ride comfort changed so much that I feel way more confident in my car over bumpy roads and highway driving. These tires keep my vehicle stable on the road and my vehicle suspension feels more stronger now. Your guy's tires made me love my car even more thank you for creating such an amazing tire I definitely will shop for Michelin tires in the future especially these Defenders #2.

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.

I decided on Defender 2s for my 2017 Acura TLX V6. I live in Florida but occasionally drive north in the winter. The tires are very quiet. The handling of the car is exception. These two aspects get 5 stars. What I have found that my mileage has decreased about 20 to 25%. I need to fill up after 300 miles instead of the 400 miles on the OEM tires.

Defender 2's have a smooth ride quality that is very noticeable as compared to regular Defenders. Makes my 97 4Runner have a ride it hasn't had using the original Defender. Very pleased with the looks, ride quality, and performance of the tire. Seems the tread design does not make much noise. My only regret after having tires for eleven weeks! Apparently ran over a piece of 1/2" steel that got inserted into the tire tread. Selling dealer, even with a paid protection plan, plug patched tire with only 1345 miles instead of replacing it? Hope the tire is safe with this repair and doesn't start having issues with belts separating and roaring like a snow tire.

We have had Michelin Defender tires before and loved them. They rode nice and smooth on our 2011 Toyota Sienna. Then we hit a nail on the sidewall and our dealer was out of Defenders. We regret putting other tires on. Just put our 3rd new set of Defenders on and happy.

My F250 came with these tires and they have been good to me for 4 years and 54,000 miles. I'm shopping for exact replacements because I liked the way they wore and rode. There is still a lot of tread left but they are aging out and I need a dependable tire because I tow a 8000 lb travel trailer. They don't seem to get very good traction on anything other than a solid surface with my long 4x2 truck. I don't use my truck for off road use.

Just rolled over69K on these originals on my F250 4X4. Looks like I might get another 1 to 2K out of them, which is amazing the way I use this truck. Off road, constant high speeds pulling trailers in hot west Texas. Only complaint is not the best in mud, but fantastic in snow & loose gravel. Just got back from Alaska pulling a travel trailer. Roads from hell. No complaints on the tires, lots of folks had failures, these did great only 1 flat.
