This year I finally bought my first set of four new tires (previously i had been buying them two at a time).  I chose the middle-of-the-road type tires. But they did not ride very softly/smoothly at all, every little crack/bump in  the road it felt like my car was hitting bottom. Not great for my back pain. Had my shocks checked just in case and they were fine. So I returned them to the place of purchase and got  my Michelin tires. Driving away with them for the first time I immediately felt a huge difference and am enjoying my ride in comfort.

Most comfortable tires I've ever owned!

michelinman.com

I've tried other brands and nothing lasts like a Michelin Defender does. if you want a quieter softer ride, Michelin has other lines, but for long distance and reliability, I haven't found anything to match this tire. It doesn't claim to be the quietest, smoothest ride because the rubber is so hard, for that a 60K Michelin tire is a better choice, but if you want longevity from a tire, especially for a salesman travelling a lot, this is the only choice. I drive about 30K+ miles a year and want a tire that I can depend on for longevity and reliability. They are also on my wife's car for the same reasons and I drive easier knowing she is safer.

First Set of Defender T & H Tires 3rd Defender Set

I was told the T&H was better than the new 2's.  So I was glad my local tire dealer still had sets of the older Defenders.  Car is now extremely quiet and smooth compared to the set of Difinity tires our car came with.  The old tires still had plenty of tread with only 20k of use, but were dangerously squirrelly in the wet.  These Michelins are awesome in the wet!

T&H are the way to go!

Retired engineer-pilot, very observant of aircraft / vehicle performance. These replaced OEM tires on a Camry hybrid.

PRO:  Very quiet and smooth, fine ride and handling, and (based on 1 encounter) sure-footed in heavy rain.

CON:  High rolling resistance.  Fuel mileage is down more than 5mpg.

FINE EXCEPT FOR FUEL MILEAGE

Put a set of the Defenders on my 2016 Chevy Impala Limited LT. The day we left for vacation is was pouring rain and the day we left to come back it was poring rain with flash flooding.  I could not have ask for a better tire on the wet services.  Highways traveled were Black top and concrete on interstates.  Handling and ride were both great.  Short of Excellent is that I have not driven in snow now lets see how far they will go on wear.   purchased them April of 2017

Fantastic tire

For the past few years, I have been happy with my Defender T & H tires however after only 42,000 miles the remaining tread depth is now only 2/32". The wear pattern is even. The car has been balanced shortly after the tire purchase and again one year ago.   Tires have been rotated with every other oil change.  I drive on a combination of both local and highway roads.   I now have to buy new tires and can't really justify getting Michelin tires again, even though I have liked the tires overall.  This is disappointing for a tire with a 85,000 mile warranty

Like the tire but not the treadwear

I bought these tires 3 years ago and had them rotated every 5k miles with my oil change. They are right at 50k and need to be replaced.
Will see if Michelin stands behind their warranty of 80k miles. If not, one pays a premium price for an average product.

Warranty is 80k miles

We bought these tires a little under 5 years ago to replace the OEM tires on our pilot and will be replacing them this winter. I've driven in harsh/snowy conditions without dedicated snow tires most of my adult life and I've never had as many issues as I've had with this tire. I've lost all confidence in its ability to handle even the smallest amount of snow.

Terrible in the snow

I had my Michelin Premier Tires replaced at a dealership as they told me they were leaking from the bead. I was appalled as they were only 4 years old with few miles. They were replaced by Michelin Defenders.  The ride is absolutely horrible.  The car shakes and jolts me over every little bump and crevice in the road.  I had them checked after 5 weeks and they stated that everything looked good for the year and state of the car. The suspension also looks good, so I do not understand the horrible ride. My vehicle has always been well maintained and I always have had routine maintenance done.

Horrible Ride

Consumer Care

I bought these in February 2023, replacing a set of Premiere A/S,. I get there will be some handling and ride adjustment . The A/S was fabulous until they got down to 3mls. Even though they only lasted 42000 mile, I would have bought another set, I thought they were that good.
The Defenders are like driving offroad tires. Every inperfection on the road surface is felt.
I have had vibration thru the steering wheel and rough ride feel throughout the cabin.
At just under 3000mi, I had my mechanic go over the tires and the entire front end. He rotated and rebalanced all four tires since there was nothing else he could find. This caused a reduction in the vibration but the ride is incredibly hard.
I could have saved a $100/tire and just bought a private brand label for this ride.
Clearly I do not recommend these tires
