Great durable tires and quiet on the road

5 days ago
Bought 4 Michelin Defender 2 tires for installation on my 23 Ford Edge. Tires are quiet on the road and will offer a good grip on the snow this winter. So far, I am very happy with my tires

Great Features

Michelin Defender tires have always been good tires for wear and traction.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Excellent replacement tires. Don't assume your gas mileage will improve, though.

9 days ago
The reason for 4 stars vs 5 stars, is that with my Accord Hybrid, my average mileage dropped to 45mpg from 51mpg, after installing these tires (same normal highway routes). Noise Level-The noise level in my car has dropped significantly, since I had these tires installed. Before the installation, there was a continuous hum. Grip- Although I thought my old tires still had some good tread, I hydroplaned in a heavy downpour. These tires plowed right through it with a recent rainstorm. They grabbed the road instantly, when I need to make a swift curve or switchback driving motion. Handling- Still getting use to that, but they are pretty good. Comfort- On smooth asphalt, the tires provide a really nice and comfortable rid. Treadwear- I picked the tires with some of the best promise lifespan. Bottomline is that I am pleased, except for the gas mileage.

Smooth ride

So far a smooth ride at all speeds. No pulling or vibrations. Seems to be wearing evenly. Advise getting an alignment with the new tires.

Yes, I recommend this product.
