I’m a retired Red Seal Mechanic and I have never in my 45 years of experience had any issues with Michelin Tires. Most notably thing about installing and balancing Michelin tires is how well they fit along with minimal weights required to balance Michelin tires. Needless to say if you require 1oz or more in weight to balance a Michelin tire, then check your Rim! Michelin tires are also one of the quietest tires on the road, as well as superb performance! We have a saying in the mechanic world around these parts! Once you drive with Michelin Tires on your vehicle, you will not want to drive on anything else!

This is my 3nd set of Michelin defender tires. They have all been excellent and gave me great tread life. The Defender 2 I just purchased are quiet and they handle great, much better than the tires that came with the car when they were new. I'm very pleased and I'm confident I will get the same milage from these as with past Michelin tires

Great tires for both winter and all-season. I have been buying this brand for my 2 cars and every time the performance is great. My gas consumption has been good compared to when I was using the heavier Bridgestone brand. Tip: buy when they have a promo on to save even more (that is if the need is not urgent).

Great braking, cornering, traction and treadwear.

Great durability and comfort

Put on Michelin defender tires on our 2018 Lexus rx350 ftype and runs like a charm!! Quiet and long lasting with a nice profile!! Totally recommend these tires!!

I have purchased 3 sets Defenders over the past year for my wife’s car and my daughter’s and mine. Had Uniroyal prior and the Michelins are far superior. Ride quality cannot be better or matched. Love these tires!

I have been driving on Michelin tires for many years and my father used Michelin tires for years. I will be purchasing a new set of winter tires in November from Michelin. I find the tires are very reliable and comfort when travelling.

The tires have been fantastic. Nice smooth ride and I feel very safe in the car. These tires were the right selection for what I wanted on my small SUV.

Haven't put a lot of kms on the Defender 2s yet but so far so good. Much quieter and smoother ride than previous tires. Hopefully the durability of the tires is as expected for Michelin tires.
