Michelin has always been my first choice because I have had them many times over the years. Well known name, great handling, promotions at times which help with the expense.

These tires are wonderful! Great treadwear, traction, and best of all, they’re extremely quiet. This is why I always trust Michelin products. Thanks for offering such a valuable product.

The ride with my defender 2 tires makes driving my car enjoyable again. The gripping and at the same time the smooth ride is amazing. The only complaint I have is the rebate, it states 6-8 weeks. It been over 3 months and I’m still waiting.

Great all-around tire. Noticeably smoother ride, solid grip on roads, especially during rain and snow. Tread seems to be holding up well, though I try not to be too hard on start/stops regardless. Very pleased with them after 9 months.

The tires have been on my SUV for 2 weeks and I've driven about 600 miles on them. They grip the road well and braking is good though they are not that quiet on the highway. It's too soon for me to give an accurate estimate about anything else.

I am a Michelin consumer of many years. Just replaced my set of Cross Climate after driving 56K miles. Purchased the Defender 2. The ride is superb! I feel confident I will be able to drive on them for the full 80k mile warranty.

I had to get new tires for my Wife’s Elantra. The Cooper CS5 tires that I had put on the car 4/5 years ago had finally gone past the point of no return. The Michelin Defender 2’s have been a great addition. So far the traction has been great considering the snow we’ve had lately. The road noise on dry pavement isn’t too bad. I’ve had other tires a little quieter, but overall not bad. Time will tell how long they will last though. It will take a few years to get the mileage racked up.

We are very pleased with the Michelin Defender 2 tires that we just purchased for our Ford Escape Titanium. This vehicle is a medium sized SUV so it is light and has turbo so it is quick to respond to changes in speed or direction. Consequently, we are concerned about the tires ability to be stable on windy highways and grip the road at higher speeds and when turning corners especially in wet weather. Since this is early spring and winter road damage has not yet been repaired, they are surprisingly smooth when going over rough roads and occasional potholes and uneven roads. They are also well priced for this level of performance.

I bought this 'set of four' Michelin Defender2 Tires for my 2008 Nissan Sentra S 4-door sedan. {Which I bought brand new in 2008.} At 2 years I replaced the factory tires with these Michelin tires [ then, faithfully a set of four-at-a-time, thereafter, as needed]. The grip and stability excel in wet OR dry highway driving. Saved me in a few highway "near-misses --THANK GOD!" For an ole lady in a 17+1/2-year-old-car, they rocked-my-socks, in traction during this historic Feb 22 to 24, 2026 Bomb-Cyclone/Blizzard. The leftover snow from the January storm, in my Southeast Massachusetts town became frozen. And the Blizzard dumped another 20+ inches; that covered my Black Sentra; parked in between two other vehicles. After I cleaned the snow, {which had even blown into my tailpipe} cleared snow from the two driver's-side tires & driver's door; clear enough from above the front bumper I was able to climb over the snow pack piled in front of my car. [ Utilizing the ole foot-on-the-brake, inch back & forth 2 or 3 times, until I felt those Defender's grip. Then it was smooth & steady going. I highly recommend these tires; and suggest rotation to extend the wear & durability -- which will extend their life!

Those tires are not supporting the character of a BMW. They feel very plush, no feedback from the road, and just way too soft. Will not buy them again. I drove over 4000 miles in long distance rides. When arrived we feel still swimming. I had the suspicion checked, which according to BMW is good.
