Those tires are not supporting the character of a BMW. They feel very plush, no feedback from the road, and just way too soft. Will not buy them again. I drove over 4000 miles in long distance rides. When arrived we feel still swimming. I had the suspicion checked, which according to BMW is good.

Defender 2 on all 4 tires side walls are cracked badly. Never ran low on air. . 90% hwy miles bought in May of 2020 with 137,208 but on new at honeywood now 199,000km. Been a customer at honeywood 40 years the guys there said need to talk to Michelin

Amazing when people clearly post stuff on review that make themselves sound ignorant. These tires are great examples of Michelin Engineering. Long tire life. Smooth ride and quiet. Choose the correct tire pressure for optimal wear I always run aprox 5-8 PSI over door sticker, so you don't wear to heavy on outside of tires. This gives you optimal tire contact and tread life. This also makes smoother turning and brings life to your steering Nice job michelin

These tires are a great fit for our 2019 Hyundai Tuscon. Excellent Handling & smooth quiet ride. Experienced a major "cloud burst" downpour on the way home on Loop 270 and the tires channelled the water just fine. Even cornering on tight bank turns, the vehicle handled great.

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.

I have used Michelin tires on numerous vehicles since I bought my first set in 1968. Handling is superior to any other tire I’ve used. I’ve even used them without balancing them without experiencing vibrations so I think they are quite precisely constructed. If vehicle is in alignment and rotation is done these Defender 2 tires will wear longer than the 80,000 mile warranty. Michelin tires have improved the ride of every vehicle I’ve put them on. Currently I own two vehicles, 2017 Toyota Sienna and 2024 Nissan Ariya both of which have Defender 2 tires on them and significantly add to the quietness and ride quality of both vehicles.

Just replaced the tires (Dunlop) that came on my 2025 Toyota Camry with the Michelin Defender 2 tires. These are great tires with amazing traction. Very low road noise to the point that I was hearing my hybrid making sounds that were not noticeable before due to NOISY Dunlop tires. With high milage and the dependability of Michelin, I anticipate a good ride for the next 50K miles. Well done Michelin.

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.

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.

it's only been a lil over a week. I've been driving a long time. I've owned other tire brands and none can touch these. the first thing i noticed was rolling resistance. these tires seem to glide forever! My gas mileage has gone through the roof! The second was the grip on curves. Chefs kiss. i feel confident that these tires will take my ride to the 100,000 mark easily. Added bonus, where I live heat rules. with Michelin's I don't have to worry about blowouts in 100 degree plus temperatures.
