Attention! Due to the size of the tires, Packages might be SEPARATED in the courier facility and not be DELIVERED on the SAME DAY, even though we do ship them together. Tracking information can be checked by logging on to the courier website with the master tracking number you will receive via email. For example, you can receive 3 tires in one day and the 4th one the next day or the day after, or one tire in one day and the second one day after. We understand that this is a big inconvenience for our buyers, however, this is ABSOLUTELY out of our control.

OVERVIEW
The Michelin Defender 2 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Michelin offers an 80,000 miles treadwear warranty with this model. This model is designed for electric vehicles.
The tread design and the all season compound enhance year-round traction. The asymmetric tread design and the year-round compound firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges. The tread design is able to closely follow the road surface in dry, wet, and winter conditions, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in summer and winter conditions. The wide circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint and prevent hydroplaning in the process. This significantly boosts wet weather traction and driving safety levels.
The model offers increased controllability. The asymmetric tread design maintains consistent road contact, improving steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is quicker and more precise to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the pressure affecting it. The wide shoulder block placement boosts cornering and maneuvering. The tread design is also able to shorten the braking distance, by creating friction when stopping. As a result, it offers the driver full control over the vehicle at all times.
The model guarantees a longer-lasting tread life. The asymmetric tread design and the durable compound extend usability. The tread design is able to evenly distribute driving pressure along the tread, while the compound slows the treadwear rate down. The two elements prevent irregular and premature wear formations along the tread area. As the tire prevents wear formations across the tread, it is able to perform for longer periods of time.
The Michelin Defender 2 also promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread design reduces road noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin, thanks to the siping detail and wide grooves. These elements are able to channel airwaves through the tire's footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements. These elements block the road and tread noise from being generated while the tires are in motion. The tread design offers a quiet and enjoyable performance.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
