Great all-around tire. Noticeably smoother ride, solid grip on roads, especially during rain and snow. Tread seems to be holding up well, though I try not to be too hard on start/stops regardless. Very pleased with them after 9 months.

I’ve been a Michelin user ever since I began owning cars. I didn’t even consider other brands. Michelin is my go to.

I love how my new tires keep me safe while on the road. Thru thick and thin they are the brand I trust.

They are good tires in fact I just said I need to go have them rotated. We are retired so we don't drive every day.

Both my Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic are equipped with Defender 2 tires and they reinforce my opinion that Michelin makes the world's best tires.

These tires are the best I have ever had! They are great in all weather conditions and handle awesome!

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.

Not sure where the outstanding ride quality reviews come from. Placed these on a Kia Telluride and the ride quality is noticeably rougher. The vehicle always appears to sway back and forth and you feel every bump.

I was able to get 94,000 miles on my set of Defenders over 6 years. I probably could have pushed 100,000 but, the outside tread was cracking. I was very faithful in rotating my tires. Great snow, rain handling. Quiet also.

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.
