Very quiet tires

Quietest tire I've ever own. Very good traction in recent snow storm. Perfect match for Mazda CX-5 AWD. Extremely quiet and stable on road trips.

Defender Tires has always been my go to tire for both of our family cars. They wear super well and I would never choose any other tire.

Best of the Michelin tires Defender 2.

Superb tires. Quiet ride, good traction rain or snow. And a reputation for great wear. DF2 tires in my opinion is your best bet in value.

Great tires

Great tires. Like the construction and performance. Much better design than the original factory tires. The ride is much more sturdier.

Post Snow Storm roads - No problem!

First new set of tires for my 2020 Subaru Forester. We just had the most snow last week in NJ in years. No issues. Tires have been great.

Great durability

At 86,000 miles these tires are just starting to get noisy but plenty of tread left to make it safely to 90,000. I'm impressed!!

GREAT HANDLING

I LIKE THE TIRES ON MY HONDA PILOT. SMOOTH AND QUIET RIDE WHILE HANDLING VERY WELL IN ALL KINDS OF WEATHER. I ONLY BUY MICHELINS!
