Best overall rated Tire, They are Great!

Relatively Quiet, grippy, longest lasting for my truck. Buy the more expensive tire once, instead of 2 or 3 sets tires at lower cost.

Excellent tire, but quite pricey

Great tire for my Subaru Outback. Performance is as expected. Good traction and braking. Cornering is adequate, but I haven't really pushed it anywhere close to the limit. It is not as quiet as I expected, but I guss that is the price I pay for treadlife.

Amazing tires!

I used the first generation of these tires and ran these 2nd generation as well driving personal and rideshare. They are quiet and like driving on pillows. In a 2wd Genesis sedan in the 1st generation version of these tires I got 2-3 mpg increase in the city and 3-5 mpg in the long distance. My any mpg was 34-35mpg with a V6 heavy sedan. In Colorado winters I could stop and plow through the snow powder or wet sloppy snow I had used sand bags in back for weight to grip. This Defender 2 I ran driving in Utah, Park city I didn't have any sand bags and got better traction. These Defemder 2 tires were very impressive I did get my money worth out of the Defender 1 I did hit the 80,000 miles I believe I got 87,000 miles out of them. These Defender 2 were on track to beat the 1st generation of this tire. Funny story I drove a gentleman who was picking his minivan up at the tire shop, he was using the minivan for medical transportation, I asked what tires he was getting “Michelin Defenders! Long lasting and get more mpg baby!” I told him they are amazing in bad weather too! He was excited! Go with confidence on this purchase!

I have driven about 20 miles so far. My engine check line came on and my engine was misfiring. Presently I'm waiting for my mechanic to install a new engine coil. Right after the installation, I had to get an alignment, the steering wheel was vibrating. I can't say that I drove enough to share my subjective opinion. My mechanic recommend your brand. He said your tires last longer than Bridgestone. I think Bridgestone sound cooler and I think they are a lower purchase price. I do feel that the Bridgestone tires lasted a long time. If yours last longer, great, but I may not pay attention

Michelin Defender 2 AS

I just purchased the tires on 6-30-26 and they were installed on 7-1-2026. Although I have only driven on the tires for the last 9 days, I have noticed that the tires give my car a more comfortable ride than the Ecopias that were on the car when I purchased it. And the tires have an 80k mile warranty which is a cherry on the top, I've always preferred and only purchased Michelin tires and will continue to do so.

Nothing but Michelins

I have been driving Michelin tires exclusively for more than 40 years with nothing but praise for their quality and performance. So it made this choice of tire purchase pretty simple. We now have several thousand miles on this set of tires and they are performing exactly as expected.

Great …. Except

Great experience except for one issue. I asked for and received a new tpms sending unit in one of the tires. The new unit wasn’t programmed properly and I had to have another shop correct the oversight. I was told by the Adam’s tech that the light would turn off in about 30 miles. It didn’t, because it was never synced to the car.

GREAT VALUE!

Sam's tire and battery service is the best value a person can get anywhere based on my personal experience. I shop these type of purchases very thoroughly. In terms of both value, I've never found better value than Sam's Tire and Battery. And by "value", I'm speaking in terms of money, product quality, and service.

Disappointing Experience

I still waiting for my tires. I will change this review when I finally get them and test them. Now Walmart asks me to write a review. So far this is my experience. I get the tires before the snow storm and Christmas. We already passed the New Year and I'm still waiting. No updates, nothing. Everything is on freeze.
