Just bought my second set! I sold my last car that had Defenders with lots of mileage on them, but they looked like they only half worn! After my first set, I knew I would be buying them again for my current car. Michelin's are a little more money than some, but you get that money investment back since they last a long time! With the high mileage I do, these are a testament to how well they do. They handle nice and are quiet.

got these for my Camry and it totally transformed the car made the cabin a whole lot quieter. consumer reports thinks highly of these tires so right there is the reason to get them. Michelin is a good tire i had energy saver a s tires there good but not as quiet and dont have the 80-90 thousand mile tread life.

When i bought these they carried a 90,000 mile claim. They have since lowered that to 80,000. I would have been happy to have gotten 50,000. Won't happen. With winter coming I will need to replace these at about 40,000. They do ride well and wear evenly but the mileage claim is very unrealistic.

I purchased Michelin T + H Tires 3-1/2 years ago with a 6-year, 80,000 mile warranty. with just over 30,000 miles. Tires no longer grip on damp roads spinning on acceleration from a dead stop. Dealer tells me I can replace with a prorated offer. I typically get 6 years with 60,000+ miles with a cheaper brand tire driving in harsh weather conditions.

I purchased a set of the Defender tires 6 years ago this month. I was excited to see a 90k mile rating. However, my tires have 40k on them and they are down to the wear indicator. I have always had them aired up to recommended tire pressure and rotated every 5k when I had my oil changed. I am still considering a new set of these because they do have good traction in the rain and dry roads. Just wish I got a little more mileage out of them considering the price.

I purchased a set of 4 of these for my RDX and was initially happy with them. I have 10K mostly highway miles on them now, and have become increasingly disappointed with the road noise and especially hard ride. i.e. over separations in the road, bridges and speed bumps.

Bought Defenders in October 2014 for a 2009 Toyota Camry. I was impressed with reviews, and tread life advertised at 90,000. Figured a tire might not make its full tread life, but even in normal city/highway driving conditions, two of the tires are now at 2/32" after only 35,000 miles and 4 years, and should be replaced. One is at 3, and one is at four. I rotate every 5000; definitely have done one or two alignments since the initial installation alignment. Other than the tread life, the tire rode well and was quiet. I've seen other poor reviews of the Defenders due to tread life. Since then, Michelin has revised the line, so perhaps the tread life has improved.

Bought these tires because I read that they provide a comfortable and quiet ride, and because Michelin has a good reputation. Unfortunately these tires have been the opposite of comfortable. The ride is very rough, even when I'm on what seem to be flat roads. Not sure if mine are defective or not but these tires have turned driving from a fun experience to something I really don't enjoy.

I've had these tires on my car for two years now, including winter. I love these tires. Never had any problem with them and they seem to hold the road good in all weather. This is the second set of these I have purchased, as I had them on my last car as well. Still have lots of tread left. I am buying Michelin winter tires this year for added protection. Michelin are the only tires for me!

I use Michelin's on my SUV that I pull a vendor trailer with and they never let me down in over 8 years. So, when it was time for my family car to get new tires I got Defenders. These were highly rated and my Tire and Repair shop recommended them so I know I have the best I can get and feel safe on the road.
