The next evolution of Michelin's legendary Defender lineup, the Defender2 CUV delivers exceptional longevity, fuel efficiency, and all-season confidence — optimized for the unique demands of CUV drivers who want the best of comfort, safety, and durability.

With a 98V Extra Load (XL) rating, EV-C (Electric Vehicle Compatible) designation, and an outstanding 80,000-mile tread warranty, this tire is optimized for both conventional and electric/hybrid CUVs on 17-inch fitments.
