Overview of Michelin DEFENDER 2
235/45R18 XL - 98H

Michelin's newest Defender2 is an all-season tire that provides great durability and exceptionally quiet rolling. It is the second-generation model that was specifically engineered to produce less hazardous waste for the environment through its production processes and service life. The Michelin Defender2 has been redesigned to offer more grip when the road is wet or slightly snowy/icy. It provides reduced braking distance compared to other tires in the same category and its predecesor. The new design of this tire helps reduce ambient noise to ensure a smooth and quiet ride. This tire model was designed to provide consistent, even wear even after years of use. With Michelin, you know you will be in good hands and for a long journey!

Je recommande vivement ces pneus. J’ai parcouru 85 000km et ils sont à 5/32, beaucoup d’autoroute et de chemin de campagne, ville. Ils sont solide, capable d’endurer facilement 100-120k kilomètres. Ils sont silencieux et procures une bonne tenue de route sous la pluie. Je donnes un gros 5/5 :-)

Ma Civic les aiment. Moi j'aime les confort et l'absence de bruit de roulement. Colle bien dans les courbes. Bon quand il a accumulation d'eau sur la route. Que de plaisir si ont pensent pas au prix.
