Great tires

I bought these tires in November, just in time for winter. They handle very well in the snow, have had no issues navigating snowy roads. When the roads have been dry (no snow on them), they grip the road well. Happy with my purchase.

Should be standard on new cars

I have driven my Honda Civic for 10 years. My only complaint was road noise. My new Michelin tires are a godsend. New cars should have premium tires!!

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.

Best tire I've ever used

I've been purchasing these tires for all my car for many years. They are very dependable, and last the miles listed as long as I rotate them every oil change.

Long life tires

I had these on my 1998 Grand Marquis, and my 2006 Buick Lucerne, best tires ever. Now I am getting ready to purchase them for my 2023 GMC Acadia. There is not a better tire made in my opinion than Michelan

Terrible

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.

Can't do better than Michelin tires

These are true all-weather tires. Excellent traction for their first winter driving on ice and snow. If they live up to their expected life--80k miles, they'll be a great value

Good in snow.

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.

I researched tires for my 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid and the Defender 2 was highly rated. I have put 8,000 miles on them and have not been disappointed. They are quiet and give my Honda a great ride.

Maybe I am missing something

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.
