Description
Michelin's Defender 2 is an 4-seasons tire that provides drivers of passenger cars, crossovers, vans and small SUVs with the latest tire technology to keep you safer on the road and get you where you want to go, regardless of the weather conditions across the country.
- Excellent all-season traction
- A very quiet and comfortable tire
- Low rolling resistance
The Defender 2 offers exceptional performance in terms of tread life. It is built to accommodate the growing market for heavier, higher torque vehicles such as SUVs, minivans and electric cars.
Designed to provide smooth, even wear, the Defender 2 will be as comfortable on the last mile as it is on the first.
Michelin engineers have developed a tread compound called "EverTread 2.0," a new formula that provides an abrasion-resistant compound for even more miles.
With its durable tread, Michelin offers an extended warranty of 130,000 miles.
With its "SipeLock" technology, which uses 3D sipes to provide hundreds of biting edges, the Defender 2 delivers an outstanding grip, exceptional handling and short braking distances in all weather conditions.
The Defender 2 tire features "MaxTouch 2.0" Technology that maximizes the tire's contact with the road and evenly distributes acceleration, braking and cornering forces.
Enjoy a smooth, quiet ride with Piano Acoustic Technology, which minimizes disturbances to each tread block for a quiet ride.
The Michelin Defender 2 tire is manufactured exclusively at its North American plants in Ardmore (Oklahoma), Columbia (South Carolina), and Nova Scotia, Canada.
