Great investment!

This is my second set of "Defenders" and I have been and am now very pleased with them. Virtually all characteristics of these tires are excellent and have proven their worth over the years.

Low traction

These are highway tires and do NOT have very much traction. Less than 100 miles and the tires have a slight wobble like a tire blister or tread separation.

Durable

This is my second set of Defenders. One set on Rav 4, reduced cabin noise by 50%. The other set on my F 150, now on the 5th year. Will be getting new Defenders this spring.

Great ride and excellent wet weather traction

My 6th set of Michelins on my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500, The truck has 340,000 miles on it and have never had a tire failure with them. Actually the original spare that came with the truck has never been on the road

Great Tires

This is the second set of tires I've bought and have been very satisfied with these tires. I live in snow country and the traction is great even as the wear down.

Good, but reduced mileage.

Seems like a good tire but reduced mileage. Don't notice a performance difference from the original Bridgestones. Dropped one to two miles per gallon.

JDR, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.
