"First of all, I really want to thank the team of Shannon and Lucas at Tire Kingdom in Ormond Beach on US One for all their knowledge and help. I came to them with an issue from my last set of tires and they were very helpful in leading me to the Defender 2. These tires are extraordinary for this heavy vehicle. It rides so smooth and they helped me every step of the way through some paperwork that I had to do and got the tires ordered in right away, mounted, and got me on my way in time. As far as dealing with Michelin, it's been the most pleasurable experience every step of the way. I want to thank everybody for my new Defender 2 tires, I recommend them to anyone." - ,

I only received these tires two weeks ago and haven't had much chance to drive in all weather conditions. I commute through three states, all highways. So far they've been very good. Let's see how long they last and how they handle in poor weather conditions.
