The Defender2 is a reliable tire from Michelin that is suitable for various vehicles, including coupes, sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and minivans. It offers dependable year-round traction and is designed to have a long-lasting tread life. Whether it's dry, wet, or wintry conditions, including light snow, the Defender2 provides capable all-season performance. To ensure a smooth and quiet ride, Michelin has incorporated an all-season compound into a symmetric tread design. This allows for flexible rotation patterns, reducing block wear and maintaining a stable footprint. It also minimizes airborne noise and helps with predictable handling during dynamic maneuvers. With wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches, water is efficiently channeled away, improving hydroplaning resistance. For enhanced grip on slippery pavement and confidence on wintry roads, the Defender2 features carefully integrated lateral and longitudinal sipes. These sipes create biting edges to increase traction. The internal construction of the tire includes a single-ply casing with a high turn-up ply design, ensuring both durability and ride comfort. The twin steel belts provide a sturdy foundation for the tread, while the polyamide cap ply reinforces stability at high speeds.
