These new Defender 2 tires provide a very harsh ride. I feel every little road imperfection. Especially noticeable at very low speeds. Feels like the tire is thumping, as though out of round. They are not. Have had dealer check and redo balance twice, last time on a Hunter Road Force Balancer. Tires and wheels all check out within all vehicle and tire specs. No manufacturing defects were noted (i.e. broken or separated belts, etc.). Tires are structurally sound. Also, alignment is perfect. I've had five sets of the prior version of this tire on different cars, Defender T & H, and was very satisfied with the performance and comfort. Never received the advertised 90K miles on any of those tires - more like 45-50K. But did not care. They gave a good ride. These Defender 2's feel like they are inflated to 50 lb! Very hard ride. But, I'll get used to them I am sure.

Amazing handling, and my car has never driven so smooth! I did see an immediate drop in MPG approximately 4 mpg due to having more rubber on the ground which explains the go cart like handling. The overall handling and comfort is well worth the small loss in mpg.

Best tire ever! I have bought Michelin tires since 1990!

I only buy Michelin tires for my vehicles

Very quiet and has good coverage. This is my third time renewing my tires.

Great Maneuvering and traction!!

I tested it in the rain and in the show. I had not issues to drive Chrysler minivan

The Defender 2 utilizes Michelin's Evertread 2.0 compound, engineered for long wear and durability.

Excellent choice, glad I got them

The tires are great. Smooth ride. They still look brand new
