Great tires and great service from Tire Craft in Fort McMurray Alberta Canada

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.

Bought the Defender 2 for my 2018 Escape. Excellent tire. Much nicer ride and better control than the factory supplied Continental tires. Love these tires and the ride, nice a quiet too. Well worth the money.

New skins

Tires are great! Found them loud at first but a few months in they are good, car handles great. Bought them for my 2019 Impala!! Would definitely buy again!

I love my new tires

I love my tires. I was distressed because we had a flat tire in the high-speed lane. We were concerned about replacing it. We were blessed to find a great company that replaced all four. We got a front-end alignment. I feel like I'm driving atop of the line Cadillac. My Highlander has always been a great ride, but the tires have made it a dream, and they look great. Bravo

My second set

My first set of these tires came with the car when I bought it new. I put 55,000 miles on them before I replaced them. Back in the day, I would have driven until I had a flat, but no more. I could have put another 5 K on them, but safety first. Also the traction was a little off.

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.

Defender 2 - Hydro-Plane Defeaters

I had just bought a new set of Defender 2 tires and was on a ride to test them out. My previous tire was the OEM Michelin Primacy Tour A/S with approximately 48,000 miles on a 20 Chevy Blazer RS. The ride was very nice, firm but comfortable. I was, so far, impressed with the handling on a damp road and enjoying the new sneaks. As fate would have it, it began raining buckets and this I thought would separate the wheat from the chaff. I was driving in the granny lane, on a limited access highway at the posted speed limit of 65mph.when a brief but sudden loss of control event occurred called Hydro-Planning.. All of a sudden the car hit a fairly large gutter puddle that caused the vehicle to swerve dramatically. It was a frightening 2 or 3 seconds while feeling powerless other than going for the ride. Steering into the hydro-plane, and to my relief, the Defender 2s quickly took hold of the road and straightened me right out. Having put on about 30 miles on the new Defenders, they really showed me what they are capable of, and I am glad to have them. On this rainy day, the Defender 2s performed excellently.

Not sure I’d drive on anything else now.

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.

Low mileage

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!
