Most comfortable tires I’ve ever owned!

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.

Love these tires! Have used Michellin for years and once the Defender came out, have been using them ever since..

I love these tires. We have been using them on both of our cars for years. When the OEM tires that came on the vehicle originally needed replaced, I switched to Michellin. I don't remember if the model was the defenders way back then, but we definitely used Michellin and at some point got the Defender and have been using them on my vehicles ever since.

Noticeably Good Handling

These tire provide a smooth quiet ride with excellent handling. My gas mileage appears unchanged from the factory tires I replaced. I've only driven on dry roads since getting them, but don't expect any issues with rain or snow.

Outstanding Michelin Tires!

Outstanding Tires! This is my second set of these excellent tires. They are smooth, well-constructed and problem free. They are quiet on the road and make me feel safe that I have the best tires money can buy on my Honda Accord.

Worth every penny

These are by far the best tires, definitely worth the price. They are quiet and great in the rain, exactly what I was looking for.

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

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.

Feel safe tires

Have been driving with Michelin tires for over thirty years. They have taken us safely through ice and snow on our yearly drive of 1800 miles from Edmonton Alberta to Phoenix Arizona. Now a widow, not driving much but got new Michelin tires last fall and love them.

Gripping Quiet Tire

Bought four Defender T+H tires for our 2006 Honda Odyssey LX which we drive in the Midwest. The tires have very good grip in normal, dry, paved-road conditions and are very quiet. The ride has been silky smooth at all speeds. We haven't had a chance to drive with the tires in rain or snow yet. We are very happy with their performance and would purchase them again, or for another vehicle. We first found out about the Defender Tire from Consumer Reports magazine's reviews. Michelin made them affordable with their 70 dollar rebate which you can fill out online. When comparison shopping, always ask for the "out-the-door price".

MICHELIN QUALITY and VALUE

I purchased four (4) Defender T + H tires at my Mercury dealership in June 2018. These A-S tires have a 6 year factory warranty with 80,000 mile treadwear guarantee providing your rotate and balance tires every 6,000 miles. Since Michelin developed the radial tires with a high standard of quality, I will only purchase Michelin brand tires for all my vehicles. The ride quality is smooth, braking is excellent, and wearability of tires is also excellent. Keep up the great work Michelin.

Would definitely recommend Michelin tires.

I have also had Michelin X-ICE tires and based on their performance and ratings of Defender T + H, I wanted to try this tire. I have had them just over a month but I am happy with their performance (quiet, nice ride). I am expecting they will be the best of four types of all season tires I have used in the last 12 years.
