5 out of 5 stars review
Replaced original equipment tirres on our Subaru Outback. These tires were recommended by our service people and I think they gave us good information. They seem to ride smoother and quieter than original tires and if the expected treadwear is as we were informed we will be extremely happy with them. I feel that they are a great tire for the price.

- 5 out of 5 stars review9/27/2025I purchased a new set of tires for my wife's Ford Escape. I have always been a Michelin fan and after installation, she commented on how quiet and smooth the ride was now.
Performance
Florida DriverOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/31/2025While my MPG did drop about 2 miles per gallon from my "other" former tires, handling especially in the rain big (huge) improvement..... Now, plus side a little more quite than brand x.... so Safety and quietness always wins in my book....
Rain and light snow handling big win plus quite

- 5 out of 5 stars review10/29/2025I love these tires! I notice a big difference in handling going around curves. The tires are silent and comfortable, which I consider important since I'm a Uber driver.
Great handling
KentOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/12/2026I researched tires for my 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid and the Defender 2 was highly rated. I have put 8,000 miles on them and have not been disappointed. They are quiet and give my Honda a great ride.FWHOriginally posted onmichelinman.com
- 4 out of 5 stars review1/12/2026These tires are so much quieter than our original tires, after around 1500 miles on them the handling was as good if not better than the original Continentals that came on the vehicle
Quieter than factory
KbletvdocOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/5/2025Just got my tires today, for my 2021 Honda CRV. They have made all the difference in the ride. I still had the original tires on my car with only 25K miles. I had no ideal they had gotten so bad. I wish I had purchased the Defender 2 years ago.
Defender 2 Great
Great RideOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review1/12/2026My Honda HR-V used to come from the factory with Michelin Tires. Now, they come with Hankook Tires. With less than 20,000 miles I had two tire malfunctions. I purchased my Michelin tires and now feel secure on the road. The rebates were a plus.
Dependable Michelin
JPMOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/21/2025The Michelin Defender 2 tires are wonderful, as well as dependable tires for a passenger car. The confidence of having the needed traction in all types of weather is an important factor.
Great tires.

Doug2018Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/21/2025These are the fifth or sixth set of Defenders I have purchased and love them. Quite durable, great tread life, great handling and very good in wet and snow conditions. I will buy again and recommend to friends.

KevinMAOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/3/2025Great tires. Nice and quiet, I don't hear road noise in the cabin of my Honda Odyssey even on the freeway. Have a nice look and made with solid materials. Would highly recommend.
Quiet sturdy tires
bokvormOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/30/2025Great looking with a very smooth ride. Tread life looks to be exceptional. Chose these tires after extensive research on-line and conversations with current owners!

GolfinfoolOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/21/2025I recently had the Defender 2 tires installed. They ride is comfortable, handling and response are superb. They are my second set of tires for the Toyota RAV4
Great Ride
ATCOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/22/2025I am extremely happy with the tread. They seem to handle well. They are all-seasons, but I like a snow tire regardless of the brand. I have just ordered snow tires from the same company.MommaOOriginally posted onmichelinman.com
