Product details:
Peace of mind to keep you in drive. The Michelin Defender2 all-season tire is our longest-lasting tire for miles of uncompromised safety performance because life never stops moving. We completely redesigned the Michelin Defender2 tire to meet the needs of today's larger and more powerful vehicles. The Michelin Defender2 tire now offers the increased tread life that today's families expect. Engineered to outlast, the Michelin Defender2 tire can deliver 2 years of additional tread life compared to three leading competitive tires, outlasting them by up to 25,000 miles on a treadwear test.[1]
Bring confidence to your drive with the all-season Michelin Defender2 tire. This durable tire features Locking 3-D Sipes that provide extra grip from hundreds of biting edges. That extra grip translates to stopping distances that are better than three leading competitive tires on wet and dry pavement.[2]
Plus, the Michelin Defender 2 tire is designed with MaxTouch 2.0 technology to offer a smooth ride that is as comfortably quiet as your first mile. Because performance and safety matter to you, Michelin makes tires to last and backs the Michelin Defender2 tire with an 80,000-mile manufacturer's treadwear limited warranty[3] in addition to the 6-year standard manufacturer's limited warranty.[4]
