The Defender2 is a reliable tire from Michelin, designed for a variety of vehicles such as coupes, sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and minivans. It offers dependable year-round traction and a long-lasting tread life. This tire performs well in dry, wet, and even wintry conditions, including light snow. The symmetric tread design of the Defender2 allows for flexible rotation patterns, preventing uneven wear and ensuring a smooth and quiet ride. The interconnected tread elements minimize noise and provide a stable footprint, delivering predictable handling during dynamic maneuvers. Additionally, the wide circumferential grooves and lateral notches effectively channel water away, improving resistance against hydroplaning. With carefully integrated lateral and longitudinal sipes, the Defender2 tire delivers excellent grip on slippery roads, enhancing confidence during inclement weather and wintry conditions. Internally, it features a single-ply casing with a high turn-up ply design, ensuring durability without compromising ride comfort. The twin steel belts provide a strong foundation for the tread, and they are reinforced by a polyamide cap ply to maintain stability at high speeds.
