Have always been a fan of the Michelin tire. Don't know how often your customers get 100,000 miles out of their tires but I am coming up on that magical number. My Honda Accord has 195,000 miles on the odometer and the tires still have 4/32nd left of tread. They were purchased with 99,000 on the odometer, have had 3 low tire pressure warnings but never had one that left me stranded. Will recommend these to my family and friends. Thank you for building a GREAT PRODUCT.
WG, we frequently receive testimonials from consumers advising us of their excellent mileage. Thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback. Our customers ROCK!

Quiet tire, hopefully it will be durable.
I just got 4 Defener 2 installed today, but obviously, it's a very quiet tire. The noise level is even lower than my old tire, almost bald. On the road, I can only hear the tire noise from the car on my next lane.
Softer ride
Good tires and always can depend on Michelin and Bridgestone tires.
Great tires.
I bought these in November 2022. These are excellent tires. Quiet, smooth and priced right. Great in the snow and wet roads. Quiet on the dry roads.
The ride on these are very comfortable. I really don’t have anything bad to say.
High mileage tires
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
Good tire but can get a flat easily.
Two flats with two brand-new Michelin tires in just one year! Each time I was forced to buy a new tire because they said the nail was too close to the side. Today the tire will cost me $300.00 and yet the old one had very little use. This is the last Michelin I will buy.
Tony, we're sorry to read that you have experienced two nail punctures. Some retailers offer road hazard coverage, basically a policy to cover tires damaged beyond repair. Check your purchase receipt to see if you have this coverage. Meanwhile, one of our team members will be in touch to discuss further.

Great tires and so quiet l!
Bought these just before a road-trip because my old tires were very noisy and rode very rough. The new tires made a huge difference. Noticeably different ride and noise level. Highly recommend.
Not so good.
I thought this tire would be great for getting fewer flats, going through snow and giving a smooth ride. No it was not. Slow leak in one tire I nursed for a while then replaced, just ok in snow and the noise from these tires was terrible. They made thumping noise when they went over bumps, cracks, etc.
summgardner, we regret to read that you are dissatisfied with the Defender2 tires on your vehicle. A member of our team will be in touch to get more information.

Great traction
I drove over three thousand miles through snow and rain and had great traction and had confidence in the tires
