Great tires

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

New tires Defender 2

I had the primacy ltx standard issue. These are a little louder, a little less gas mileage, but the cornering is better. I haven't driven in rain yet. The ride is slightly rougher but these should last way longer. I only got 41000 out of the primacy ltx.

Michelin delivers again

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.

Defender 2 Honda CRV

Very stable in any road conditions. I like the feel & traction in the snow. Very minimal slip on ice. Will buy again in the future
