First set of replacement tires@ 46,125 miles

Too early to tell how well though do but what I will tell you they look more substantial than the BFGoodrich tires that I replaced.

I love my Michelin tires.

I have been driving on Michelin tires for many years and my father used Michelin tires for years. I will be purchasing a new set of winter tires in November from Michelin. I find the tires are very reliable and comfort when travelling.

Can’t Beat the Ride or the Warranty!

These tires deliver a smooth, quiet ride that genuinely impressed me. They look fantastic on the vehicle—sleek and stylish without compromising performance. And the tread warranty? Unbeatable. It’s rare to find this kind of value and peace of mind in one package. Highly recommend!

Bought the Defender 2 for my 2018 Escape. Excellent tire. Much nicer ride and better control than the factory supplied Continental tires. Love these tires and the ride, nice a quiet too. Well worth the money.

great durability

I love the performance of my tires. Have been buying michelin for years and will not change. Matter of fact I put these on my 2017 honda in April and got a new honda in june. I insisted they switch the tires off the new vehicle and put my michelins on it which they did

Performance

I purchased a new set of tires for my wife's Ford Escape. I have always been a Michelin fan and after installation, she commented on how quiet and smooth the ride was now.
