I like them.
Good overall reviews online. Quiet drive with basically no road noise. Comfortable riding tires.
Durable
This is my second set of Defenders. One set on Rav 4, reduced cabin noise by 50%. The other set on my F 150, now on the 5th year. Will be getting new Defenders this spring.
Awesome tires that last
First set lasted 90k miles had to purchase these again.
Love 'em
Best tires I've had on the truck. The road noise level is great and handling is not compromised whatsoever. It's just nice to have a good performing tire that doesn't trade off comfort and durability.
Honest Review for Michelin Defender 2
I’ve driven about 30,000 miles on these tires, and while tread life and traction are excellent, the noise is absolutely unbearable. From day one, the road noise has been loud, droning, and constant — it doesn’t matter if I’m on a smooth highway, backroad, or city street. The sound fills the cabin and never stops. They’ve worn evenly and still have tons of tread left, but I honestly can’t take it anymore. Nobody wants to ride with me and it gives my daughter instant headaches. For a tire that’s marketed as quiet, this has been the complete opposite experience.
Thank you for sharing your honest experience with the Defender LTX M/S2 tires. We’re truly sorry to learn that the road noise has negatively impacted your driving comfort. We recommend visiting an authorized tire dealer for a thorough inspection to help determine if there are any contributing factors such as alignment, tire wear patterns, or vehicle compatibility that may be amplifying the noise.

Got over 80K miles with my first set of tires. Just replaced them with the same tires!
Much quieter than our previous tires.
Very smooth and quiet
Tires are great but extremely disappointed in the rebate process. It feels like an empty promise because the upload requirements have proven to be impossible for me to achieve. This will give me pause next time tires are purchased.
