Back to Michelin — And So Glad I Did
I'm so happy with these new tires. I had Michelin tires on a previous car years ago but switched to another brand for a while. After getting these installed, it started pouring just as we left the shop, and I was immediately impressed by how well they handled the wet roads. The grip was solid, the steering felt controlled, and there was hardly any hydroplaning, even through large puddles. I felt safe the entire drive. The ride is also incredibly smooth, and I didn't realize how much I missed the comfort and quality of this brand until now. Highly recommend!
Best Tires the Defender 2
I was using the earlier Defender tires then got the Defender 2 tires. These tires are fantastic. Have used them in summer with heavy rains also now during winter with heavy snow and freezing rain. They have stopped without any noise and even on recent bad weather. Thank you Michelin.
Smooth and safe
Have Acura MDX. 150,000 km on set of Michelin defenders. They are still in excellent condition, many km's left. Excellent traction, smooth and quiet. Trust these for your family. Work well in snow, my wife has cross climate on her car which are slightly better in deep snow. But not as quiet or smooth. Take your pick.
