Excellent tire. Handles well in both wet and dry conditions. Road noise is minimal. Creates a comfortable ride.

I always use Michelin all-season, winter xice tire. great tire, and each set lasts me about 120,000 kilometers.

Purchased to replace Bridgestone Ecopias on a 21 Venza that still had ample tread but became very noisy .

Excellent tires , very quiet and dependable , haven't put a lot of k's on but very confident they will go the distance ! Pete

Michelin has always been good and these don’t disappoint a bit more rough ride than Yokozuna’s but all in all good price for these tires.

My Defender 2 tires provide excellent grip on the road and are much quieter than my previous three-season tires.

After about 2 months of use on my 2016 Cx-9, I am very satisfied. They roll smooth and quietly and the handling is great.

Purchased Michelin winter tires last year and all seasons this year. Extremely happy with smooth and quiet ride.

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.

The best thing to say about Michelin tires is--there is nothing to say. No problems, no tracking issues. Last a long time on my Cavalier, Pontiac G5, and Cruze. I have been buying them since a set lasted 115,000 miles on a Rambler American, but have never achieved that lifespan since. However, they outlast Goodyears, Firestones and Pirellis on my other cars.
