“Michelin Defender 2 Review: Premium Price, Premium Performance?”
The Defender 2 utilizes Michelin’s Evertread 2.0 compound, engineered for long wear and durability.
so far so good
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!
New skins
Tires are great! Found them loud at first but a few months in they are good, car handles great. Bought them for my 2019 Impala!! Would definitely buy again!
Awesome tires
Put on Michelin defender tires on our 2018 Lexus rx350 ftype and runs like a charm!! Quiet and long lasting with a nice profile!! Totally recommend these tires!!
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 tire first purchase I put over 80000 thousand miles on these tires. That is the reason I purchased them again, will always purchase Michelin tires.
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.
