I just spoiled myself with four brand new Michelin Defender T+H's today. The drive from the tire shop back to my place was so smooth and rich - like German Chocolate cake - that I had to drink a glass of milk when I got home. Getting brand new Michelins is a hell of an ego boost for me. If you ain't first, you're last, and the only way to be first is to buy Michelin tires.

I bought brand new winter tires in December. This was the first time I had ever purchased winter tires, but after ten years of driving, I understood it was time to lower the risks of accidents and thought I'd invest in new tires now so that I can save in the long run. Plus, I wasn't really saving when wearing out my all-season every year, so it made more sense to me (finally) to alternate between the two types of tires. The drive in the winter was completely different after installing my winter tires. I can feel the way the tires hugged the snow and gently stopped when I applied the breaks! This was especially important for me since I drive often between Toronto and Montreal where road conditions can be unpredictable in the winter time. I love my Michelin tires!

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.

I believe this is the best tire.

Happy with the look and quality of the product.

Outstanding Performance

Owned them for about six months. Incredibly smooth driving, almost no road noise and great traction. I drive 50,000 km's per year. At 25,000 km still look brand new. You cannot go wrong with these tires!

Not much to say. I have used Michelin tires for so very many years. They are the best tire for smooth ride and positive all weather traction that I have tried. Prior to the Kia I used them on Blazers and pickup trucks.

Fitted these tires on my wife's Honda CRV in 2013. I was expecting to get close to 130,000 km out of them. I have managed only 66,000 km and the Honda dealer has recommended new tires are neesed as they are worn down to 5/32. Very disappointed.

I am on my second set of tires after the original ones outlasted the suggested mileage.I love the quiet smooth ride I get from these tires. I have used 4 other brands over the years and these outperform tha others in milage and quality
