I purchased my first set of Michelin Defenders for a full size van and I have to say these were the very best tires I've ever bought. After 5 seasons of summer use, there was still a lot of thread left. In my opinion, there is no other tire out there that lasts as long as these. This is an excellent product and I will never buy another brand of tire but Michelin.

We've had these for 20,000 miles, and the loss of tread is surprising, sort of amazing. No longer suitable for next winter when it snows 2 inches. Otherwise, a good all-round tire. Great gas mileage, good handling, not too noisy, stops well. Would like the same tire, but getting 40,000 miles out of them for all four seasons.

I put these tires on my 1999 Chrysler 300M as a replacement for Michelin Defender LTX M+S, (Which I loved and still use on other vehicles) and have been incredibly happy! The road noise is all but non-existent, and the performance in wet weather is phenomenal. I will only use Michelin tires on this car! Worth every penny!

Just had a set of four put on my 2018 Malibu and they feel great going down the road. I was a little hesitant to buy these because of the few reviews about noise. “NOT true”. I was very relieved to find the tires are very quiet. Especially compared to the original stock tires I had on the car. I would bet that the negative reviews about noise is a result of incorrect installation of the tires. Yep. These tires are designed with an inner & outside. Meaning the tires “have to” be installed on the rim with the side wall of the tire that has a print “INSIDE” towards the car. I made sure to remind the mechanic of this and double check before installing the sets onto the car. I also underlined the print INSIDE with white-out marker. Do this and you’ll be as happy as I was.

I bought this tires in July 2022 for my wife's daily driver. What a difference in the ride quality. The way the car feels on the road is totally different considering, I was replacing some generic Import brands that were super cheap!. You pay what you got. We are not dissaointed with this Defenders from Michelin. Its totally worth it, and definietly I will recommend this brand to anyone.

Just put on second set of defenders. Over 75,000 miles on first set. Could have gone to 80,000 but cut to one tire made it unrepairable. Most smooth riding and quiet tires I have ever owned. Even with this mileage still provided excellent performance in all conditions, even wet roads. Overall excellent tires in ever category.

I replaced my five-year-old, all season, Michelin 'harmony' tires with four new, all season, Michelin 'defender T+H' tires last month. Checked before tires put on for the DOT on all 4 tires, clearly indicated month & year tires manufactured. I wanted tires manufactured in Canada, not the U.S.A. November 2017, driving in -4 temperatures, salted roads were melting and freezing again. Traffic was crawling at 45 miles/hr. over patches of black ice. I credit these tires for keeping me on the road that day. However, these tires should not replace winter tires. Excellent tire & braking grip on the road. Quiet ride. Will update after a year.

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 bought Michelin Defenders almost 5 years ago. Just bought my 2nd set today. My first ones took me 90k miles. No question they are worth the money. I wish I had bought them years ago. They would have saved me so much money in the end. They last and they are a smooth ride. I plan to keep my car another 5 years so these are perfect and will carry me to retirement. Thank you Michelin for making a GREAT tire!!!

Bought 4 sets of tires and the moment I drove out of the dealership after install, I immediately felt the difference from my old tires. It's quiet and traction is excellent on curves. no wiggles when tried at 140 km/hr, smooth ride and did not felt that I was cruising at this speed. This brand is excellent and highly recommended. You get the satisfaction what you pay for.
