Excellent tires, always buy Michelin. I do lots of backroad, roadtrips. NH to Rt66, Branson through southern states AR to GrandCanyon, visit family in Oregon and home again via highway. 176,000 miles on my RAV4, hoping for another 125,000 on these same kind new tires!

I love my new Michelin Defender 2 tires! I now have them installed on both of my vehicles. They are much quieter than the OEM tires put on by the car manufacturers. They handle great, grip the road confidently on both wet and dry pavement. They provide a smooth and comfortable ride and with an 80,000 mi treadwear warranty I look forward to having them for a long time. They look great on both of my vehicles. I am very pleased with this purchase and the overall quality and value these tires provide.

I have been a huge fan of your tires for most of my driving experiences. From pickups to sedans to luxury SUV's I have always enjoyed the road feel and confidence your tires provided. A quiet and comfortable ride and the extended wear I get is hard to beat. We have to drive through all kinds of weather here in Michigan.

These are the 10th set of Michelin Tires I have owned. Most of the sets were for my trucks and were awesome tires. They are more expensive than regular tires but I definitely believe that you get what you pay for. I would rather pay a little more upfront and get more than 80,000 miles than to repeat buying more sets of tires that don't last.

Great tire for my Subaru Outback. Performance is as expected. Good traction and braking. Cornering is adequate, but I haven't really pushed it anywhere close to the limit. It is not as quiet as I expected, but I guss that is the price I pay for treadlife.

I have driven about 20 miles so far. My engine check line came on and my engine was misfiring. Presently I'm waiting for my mechanic to install a new engine coil. Right after the installation, I had to get an alignment, the steering wheel was vibrating. I can't say that I drove enough to share my subjective opinion. My mechanic recommend your brand. He said your tires last longer than Bridgestone. I think Bridgestone sound cooler and I think they are a lower purchase price. I do feel that the Bridgestone tires lasted a long time. If yours last longer, great, but I may not pay attention

I have been driving Michelin tires exclusively for more than 40 years with nothing but praise for their quality and performance. So it made this choice of tire purchase pretty simple. We now have several thousand miles on this set of tires and they are performing exactly as expected.

The reason for 4 stars vs 5 stars, is that with my Accord Hybrid, my average mileage dropped to 45mpg from 51mpg, after installing these tires (same normal highway routes). Noise Level-The noise level in my car has dropped significantly, since I had these tires installed. Before the installation, there was a continuous hum. Grip- Although I thought my old tires still had some good tread, I hydroplaned in a heavy downpour. These tires plowed right through it with a recent rainstorm. They grabbed the road instantly, when I need to make a swift curve or switchback driving motion. Handling- Still getting use to that, but they are pretty good. Comfort- On smooth asphalt, the tires provide a really nice and comfortable rid. Treadwear- I picked the tires with some of the best promise lifespan. Bottomline is that I am pleased, except for the gas mileage.

They've handled well in the year since we've purchased. Whenever we get fuel, the tires are checked and the tread looks good. The only complaint is that they are noisy.

I replaced the OEM Hankook brand that I never did care for. I selected these because of the higher rating over the GoodYear that I've used on my last three cars. These aren't much better. The road noise is just as loud, there is too much bounce and the wet traction just isn't there.
