Michelin Defender 2 A WINNER!!

Purchased 4 Defender 2 tires in the spring of 2023 for a 2020 Mazda CX5. Very satisfied with the tires. These are being used mostly for highway driving in the spring/summer and fall. I have another set of rims and tires for winter driving. They don't seem to have any wear and they are quiet on the highway. Handling is excellent, as I would expect from a Michelin tire. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone looking for new tires.

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.

Great Performance for the Price

Great tires for both winter and all-season. I have been buying this brand for my 2 cars and every time the performance is great. My gas consumption has been good compared to when I was using the heavier Bridgestone brand. Tip: buy when they have a promo on to save even more (that is if the need is not urgent).
