Great tires for both winter and all-season. I have been buying this brand for my 2 cars and every time the performance is great. My gas consumption has been good compared to when I was using the heavier Bridgestone brand. Tip: buy when they have a promo on to save even more (that is if the need is not urgent).

We purchased the Michelin Defender 2 tires for our SUV in the spring of 2025 and they have exceeded our expectations. They are fantastic in all conditions (except snow, havent had that to try yet) and they handle great. Not only that, but they are quiet and provide a comfortable ride. I am looking forward to using these tires happily for many years to come. Oh, the braking performance is very solid as well. We purchased 235/60/18 for our 2020 Honda Ridgeline.

This is my 3nd set of Michelin defender tires. They have all been excellent and gave me great tread life. The Defender 2 I just purchased are quiet and they handle great, much better than the tires that came with the car when they were new. I'm very pleased and I'm confident I will get the same milage from these as with past Michelin tires

When I drove away from the shop that installed my new Michelins, I was impressed by how quiet my car became. Handling was smooth and easy compared to my old tires. They look great on my car and I'm looking forward to years of comfortable driving on them !!!!

This is my fifth or sixth set of Defender 2 tires. These are the only tires I will by and recommend to family and friends. I live in New England with warm hot summers, rainy spring and icy and snowy winters. These tires are GREAT! And with an 80,000 warranty and Michelin standing behind it - I love the tires.

I love the performance of my tires. Have been buying michelin for years and will not change. Matter of fact I put these on my 2017 honda in April and got a new honda in june. I insisted they switch the tires off the new vehicle and put my michelins on it which they did

Purchased 4 Defender 2 tires in the spring of 2023 for a 2020 Mazda CX5. Very satisfied with the tires. These are being used mostly for highway driving in the spring/summer and fall. I have another set of rims and tires for winter driving. They don't seem to have any wear and they are quiet on the highway. Handling is excellent, as I would expect from a Michelin tire. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone looking for new tires.

Excellent tires! I’ve been using Defenders for years and always replaced them around 30,000 km, well beyond the official warranty. What’s impressive is that the tread still looks barely worn. I highly recommend this brand—they offer outstanding value for the money. I’ve used Defenders for the past 11 years on my van, towing a 4,500 lb travel trailer every summer. Today the van has 563,095 km on it, all with Defenders—because I don’t like dealing with flat tires. Keep up the great work!

The Defender LTX M/S 2 is a good tire,not a great tire. They are a noisy tire. They are not much less quiet than a AT tire. This new design is not as quiet as the lower design. When cold they vibrate alot. I'm not very impressed with them. I think Michelin needs the rethink the design for road noise.

I bought a set of 4 to replace nearly 6 year old tires that were constantly losing air. I've using them for 3 months. At first they seemed overly responsive to the steering wheel, but I have adapted well to this, I think. I also drive an old Nissan pickup and the contrast is marked. The review I read in a national consumer journal was correct.
