I purchased my Michelin Defender 2 radials as replacements for my unacceptable OEM tires when we purchased our new 2024 Subaru Forester, insisting that the dealer replace those tires with the much-superior Defender 2s. It caused a bit of a stir but they went along with it and we couldn't have been happier since then. Between the Ice-X 3s that we roll with during the winter months, our Forester is "Michelin-covered" year-round and for many years to come!

I bought these tires because a friend of mine recently got some. I am extremely pleased with the quiet ride that these tires provide. I'm looking forward to seeing how they perform during next winter season to see how they handle the snow and icy roads.

I love the defender tire Michelin. The tires gripped the road really well . There was a car on a busy road and I didn't see it right away and had to use the brakes fast. The tire really stopped quick. I was glad we had a brand new set of Michelin's on a car.

I JUST GOT A FULL SET OF TIRES LESS THAN A WEEK AGO. CAN'T REALLY RATE THEM FAIRLY YET. I CAN SAY THAT I AM ENJOYING THEM SO FAR. THEY ARE NOT NOISEY. THEY HAVE A LONGER LIFE THAN THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH MY VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS NEW. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO A NICE LONG TREADLIFE WITH THESE TIRES.

The Michelin Ice X tires on my front wheel drive Vibe have given me complete confidence in any adverse weather conditions. Driving in last year's blizzard was amazingly easy. No slippage in deep or hard-packed snow or on ice.Treadwear has been outstanding even with year round use. I am going to get some for my truck. I have recommended them to all of friends and family here in western Pa.

Quiet, smooth, fantastic tire that I use year round. I know I shouldn't but I get 38 to 40 mpg in the summer with this snow tire! Who could ask for more? I find no problem with hydro plainsong in the rain. Commute 35miles one way to work and will buy this tire again, oh yes, it has never left me stranded in the snow or ice either.

Expect more during the winter as a snow tire, paid good money for these tires , disappointed, wish u still had the first original weatherwise tires on the market, drove with them in the winter for 5 yrs. they had better grip and breaking. They didn't hydroplane. I won't put Xice back on car next year.

I have a job that requires me to work regardless of the weather. Doesn't matter if we have ice storms or snow I have to get to work. And no I'm not a postal worker. In the 34 years that I've worked here I've had quite a few sets of so called stud-less ice tires. The only set that I have 100% confidence in are my Michelin X-Ice. So much so that I have a set for my wife's car and she now has the confidence to get off our hill and into work when she needs too. We'll be buying a new car soon and the first purchase for it will be a set of X-Ice.

I drive a RWD 2002 Mercedes-Benz C320. It loses traction even in rain. I drove it on a ski trip one time and it got stuck. I moved to a place on top of a mountain recently. I got concerned if it snowed, I would not make it to work or home, so I went and got the Michelin X-Ice. One night, it snowed hard. I made it home without much effort when I saw many SUVs, 4x4 trucks and even a bus got stuck on a hill. The X-Ice is amazing!

Purchased these tiers for my daughter's car for her first winter driving experience. She had only been driving 6 months. I was very impressed with how sticky the winter compound was on ice patches and packed snow. We had a few big storms in Wisconsin this past winter and the tires worked great in the deep snow before the plows hit the side roads. I am very happy that she had a safe first winter as a young driver, and I think these tires played a role in her safety. Thanks to the chemists at michelin for developing the durable yet sticky compound for these tires! BigKev
