Product Details

When it comes to safe, smooth driving, trust the Michelin Defender 2 Tire. This all-season tire has been rigorously tested for both safety and longevity, proving more durable than comparable tire models with a tread life 25,000 miles longer.

And like all Michelin tires, the Defender 2 tire is engineered for safety and control, so you can drive easy knowing these tires will help keep your vehicle safe.

Mud And Snow Rated

The M+S symbol differentiates an All-Season tire from a Summer only tire. While rated for light snow, they will not match a winter tire for traction or stopping distance on snow and ice.

  • Features durable construction

  • Quiet and comfortable ride

  • All-season safety

  • Wheels sold separately

  • EV ready

  • Supported by the Michelin Promise Plan of a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, roadside assistance, and a 80,000-mileage warranty

Don't know. Just put a new tire on. Other Michelin's are top of the line and I love them.

Smooth & Quiet Ride

9 days ago
I am a Michelin consumer of many years. Just replaced my set of Cross Climate after driving 56K miles. Purchased the Defender 2. The ride is superb! I feel confident I will be able to drive on them for the full 80k mile warranty.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Defender 2 tire reviewe

11 days ago
The tires have been on my SUV for 2 weeks and I've driven about 600 miles on them. They grip the road well and braking is good though they are not that quiet on the highway. It's too soon for me to give an accurate estimate about anything else.

Yes, I recommend this product.
