About this item
Product details
Peace of mind to keep you in drive. The Michelin Defender2 all-season tire is our longest-lasting tire for miles of uncompromised safety performance – because life never stops moving. We completely redesigned the Michelin Defender2 tire to meet the needs of today's larger and more powerful vehicles. The Michelin Defender2 tire now offers the increased tread life that today's families expect. Engineered to outlast, the Michelin Defender2 tire can deliver 2 years of additional tread life compared to three leading competitive tires, outlasting them by up to 25,000 miles on a treadwear test.[1]
Bring confidence to your drive with the all-season Michelin Defender2 tire. This durable tire features Locking 3-D Sipes that provide extra grip from hundreds of biting edges. That extra grip translates to stopping distances that are better than three leading competitive tires on wet and dry pavement.[2]
Plus, the Michelin Defender 2 tire is designed with MaxTouch 2.0 technology to offer a smooth ride that is as comfortably quiet as your first mile. Because performance and safety matter to you, Michelin makes tires to last and backs the Michelin Defender2 tire with an 80,000-mile manufacturer's treadwear limited warranty[3] in addition to the 6-year standard manufacturer's limited warranty.[4]
[1] Based on U.S. Department of Transportation Average Annual Miles per driver (13,500 miles) and Desrosiers Automotive Consultants' estimate of annual average kilometers driven in Canada (23,000 km), and on a treadwear test using tires in size 225/65R17 on 2021 Toyota RAV4s. Actual on-road results may vary.
[2] Based on internal wet braking tests from 50 MPH and internal dry braking tests from 60 MPH using tires in size 225/65R17 on a 2021 Toyota RAV4, versus the following competitors. Actual on-road results may vary.
[3] Excludes DOT-approved competition tires (e.g., MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup tires) and Original Equipment tires starting with the 2018 model year. Mileage warranties vary by tire line.
[4] All MICHELIN tires have a Standard Manufacturer's Limited Warranty which covers defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread, or for 6 years from the date of purchase, whichever occurs first.

Great Tires
Excellent tires! I've been using Defenders for years and always replaced them around 30,000 km, well beyond the official warranty. What's impressive is that the tread still looks barely worn. I highly recommend this brand—they offer outstanding value for the money. I've used Defenders for the past 11 years on my van, towing a 4,500 lb travel trailer every summer. Today the van has 563,095 km on it, all with Defenders—because I don't like dealing with flat tires. Keep up the great work!
Michelin delivers again
We purchased the Michelin Defender 2 tires for our SUV in the spring of 2025 and they have exceeded our expectations. They are fantastic in all conditions (except snow, havent had that to try yet) and they handle great. Not only that, but they are quiet and provide a comfortable ride. I am looking forward to using these tires happily for many years to come. Oh, the braking performance is very solid as well. We purchased 235/60/18 for our 2020 Honda Ridgeline.
Canadian Made & Better Milage
I chose the tires because they are Canadian made. I've only put about 10,000 km on them but I have noticed that my gas milage is better. I have a RAV4 Hybrid which in summer I was getting 5.4 l/100 km for the past 3 years. I am now getting 5.2 to 5.3 l/km. Not a big saving but I will take it. In old terms that is an improvement of 1 to 2 miles per Imperial gallon. I also feel safer with the new tires as Michelin is known for their high quality.
