"For my passenger cars, handling and low noise are really the only things that matter to me. I have used a few different brands/models in the past, and I can say with 110% certainty these Michelin Defender 2 tires are without any question the very best for those 2 criteria.<br>

The handling is so good that our car literally drives like a different vehicle. With regard to road noise, there is basically none.<br>

I like these tires better than ANY I have ever used in the past, and I will put these on every vehicle in the future unless Michelin comes out with something better." - Deland, FL

These tires are excellent, they grip the road like a champ. I had them on my Rav before and I was pleased with them for 7 years.

Tires have been great so far. No issues. Traction is great and much less noise than most. Responsiveness is really good as well. Pricey, but a great ride.

I've had these tires on my 2017 Explorer for a month now and am very happy with them. They have a quiet and smooth ride and the traction feels great. Driving in the rain is no problem at all. I've only driven them in very light snow showers to this point, but judging from what I've seen so far they should handle the heavier snow very well. Extremely pleased with them and the service at Mavis as well!<br>
