It's too soon to comment on durability however with the recent heavy snow falls in Toronto, the Defender 2 tires were the best performing all season tires we have had to date.

Bought 4 in spring 2019.got 151000 km.replcing next week. Vehicle came with them replaced once now replacing again. My gmc terrain has 319000 km on it. I purchased new

I bought these tires 4 years ago and experienced a blowout on the sidewall of this tire. Only 30K miles applied to the set of tires. As a life long customer, I've learned Michelin's shinning reputation is no longer what they used to be.

Cannot comment on wear or durability because the tires are brand new. So far the the grip and traction are great. I will need to give a review later for wet and snow in my area.so far only dry roads.

Good ride. Surprisingly my gas mileage went down 2 miles per gallon from the Michelin Privacy tires I had on from the factory. My vehicle is a 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid.

I have purchased Defender tires for 20+ years and these Defender2 tires are outstanding for performance and the ride and control are excellent. Best tire in snow and they give you confidence because they hold the road so well. The only tire I will put on my cars.

These tires are absolute garbage in the rain after 3 months. Whatever changed from previous defenders they should go back to. I tried with 90+ percent treadwear to have them warrantied and the credit offered was insulting. I have used defenders for ages but Michelin has lost me as a customer for life. Bas bad as the OE Hankook tires in civics. Never again. Premium price for awful wet performance.

Now experiencing a renewed feeling of being connected to the road due to the responsive Defender 2 design. Whether on hot Florida pavement or downpour drenched roadways, movement is nimble while braking is smooth and confident. And, quiet, a noticeable difference over even the replaced premium brand. Michelin research and development continues to miraculously improve over the original Defender. With proper maintenance tread life will hopefully be achieved as well. And was it mentioned that these tires are quiet!

I had Michelin pilot sport tires on my 2018 Camry and loved them in every aspect . But didn't last very long. I replaced them with the Defender 2 and not real impressed. They handle well decent on wet roads(haven't driven in snow yet) but I think to me they are noisy compared to the pilot sport tire. Had them for 7000 miles now, would I buy again not sure at this point. I really liked the pilot sport better all around.

Nice at first, but every time I rotate they handle poorly. They seem to overinflate after driving on the highway and are atrocious, worse after about 30000 miles. I would throw these on a minivan, not an Avalon. If you don't care about ride quality or handling these are your tires.
