Replaced by the Defender 2 Replaces the Defender
The Michelin Defender T + H is an all-season touring tyre for passenger cars in North America, launched in 2017 as the update to the original Defender and later replaced by the Defender 2. Michelin says its MaxTouch construction spreads contact forces evenly and its EverTread compound is chosen for durability, with a design that helps keep road noise down.
