New Tire

Grandson had a flat tire that damaged the rim also, I able to take the new rim & have a tire installed on it. It took far less time to install the new tire on the rim than it did to find a replacement rim.

With tires ...you get what you pay for!

These tires made my 2014 Camry ride like a new vehicle. They wear like iron.

Awesome tire .

I have had Michelin on everything i have owned the last 35 years. They usually Crack on the sides before they ever wear out . They are awesome . They are so smooth it's like riding on a cloud . Just put a set on my Chevy Silverado . Simply the best highway tire available.

A very high rated and high quality of tire

The tire is of high quality and has worked well for me. I would recommend this tire for heavy use and desired return for the investment. Granted the price for this tire is much higher than other brands and models of tire for the same size, this tire handles best and lasts much longer than the other tires, making it a better purchase. With a 80,000 mile warranty on this tire I expect that a similar tire for less would require replacement at least once when this very model of tire.

Defender 2 tires are great!

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.

michelin defender the best ever.

I am a Michelin man, for me these are the best tires in the world, all my cars use Michelin and these in particular are extremely quiet and have a grip on the pavement like a lion's claws, I repeat the best in the world.

TIRES ARE OK BUT HAVE ROAD NOISE

Bought 4 replacement tires for my 2017 Rav4, tires are just as noisy as my original OEM tires. Was hoping for quieter ride, but the same. Set pressure to 32 psi, but no difference. My winter Michelins are quieter, Defenders are a harder rubber with gives them longer life, but increase road noise.

Poor Reliability

I am very disappointed with the Michelin Defender 2. The 4 tires are rated for 80,000 miles. However, I am experiencing uneven wear (feathering) on al 4 tires at 12,000 miles. I have documentation to prove I have been aligning my tires at Firestone since the tires were purchased new. The shocks and struts are new on my vehicle. However, I am experiencing noisy tires, and the roads feel bumpy all the time.
