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.
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!
