Very quiet ride!

You know how when you read reviews people say "Wow what a difference these tires make" Put a set of these Defender 2 Michelins on your SUV & then you'll be saying that too! Excellent tires.....well worth the money!!!

I bought this tire a year ago. I'm so glad I did. Very long lasting, handles well, is really quiet on smooth roads. No problems. Perfect for my ev car.

Just bought these and could immediately tell the difference in decreased road noise and increased traction/handling. I had the first version just placed on the rear wheels which I can't complain about but I think these new ones are better.

I researched tires for my 2013 Mazda3 and came to the many good reviews for the Defender 2. After driving around town, I can feel the difference between my OEM tires and the Defender 2. Definitely a lot less noise!

This is the third set of these tires I have purchased. Two sets on my previous Outback and this set for my most recent Outback. Extremely satisfied with the quiet ride and wet/dry performance. Highly recommend!

I just bought all four tires, (as I had expired dry almost cracking tires around the rim - didn't know tires did this - I was experiencing a rough ride on the freeways, bouncy/shaky like I was out of alignment, but the steering will didn't shake/move) so I was afraid of a blowout. I drove off, and drove the 405/5 freeways and it made such a big smooth difference!

3 weeks before our first Colorado major winter storm, i had a set of Defender2 tires put on. Our first storm, over 5 days, was over 40" of snow, which then turned into several inches of ice. I have a very steep driveway and with my previous tires, I slid at every inch of snow we received (I have a 2023 KIA Sorento 4WD). Not only was I able to drive up my driveway without any trouble, but when I came back, I easily drove down the driveway without the ABS kicking in. These tires are amazing. Please thank the engineers. I have been driving for 64 years and have never had an experience so spectacular. Thank you all!

I HAD MICHELIN DEFENDER 2 FOR NINE YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS SO I REPLACED THEM WITH THE SAME BRAND. I was pleased with the longevity and the ride. I live where there's lots of snow, but it doesn't stop me from driving. THE DEFENDER 2 tires plowed through without slipping or spinning I'm pleased with my purchase.
