Review Summary
The Michelin Defender 2 tires offer a mix of positive and negative attributes. Positives include excellent grip and handling, especially in wet and snowy conditions, a smooth and quiet ride, and long tread life and durability. However, some customers have reported decreased fuel efficiency, a rough and bumpy ride quality, and premature wear not meeting the warranty. Overall, the tires provide good traction and handling, but customers should be aware of the potential impact on fuel economy and ride quality.

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.
Très doux
Je suis très satisfait des nouveaux pneus
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.
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
Awesome quiet ride. Excellent handling.
This is the third set of these tires I have purchased. Two sets on my previous Outback and this set for my most recent Outback. Extremely satisfied with the quiet ride and wet/dry performance. Highly recommend!
I’m committed to the D2 !
2003 Lexus LS430, replaced Continentals with the D2–and I am blown away at the better ride, noise, wet traction, feel… I have never felt such a difference with tires. The car sits better and has a better stance. I am a believer in Michelin Defender, the Defender2 is even better. I am very pleased with this decision 100%.
DD205, thanks so much for taking the time to write a review on the Defender2, and thanks for your commitment to Michelin!

Best tires on the market.
I've purchased several tires in the defender range, normally lt or ltx but these are my first defender 2's, I can't tell you how impressed I am. smooth, quiet, and my fuel mileage increased over the stock tires. I like michelens because of the full depth siping, the tiny cuts in the tread where all the traction really comes from.
Horrible
Tires are noisy and track to groves

Great tread life
I put a very used set of these on a 1992 suburban, without the 4 wd hooked up. They were almost gone, and I never slipped. I'm in Michigan, on some Michelins.
