Disappointing wear

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.

EXTREMELY QUIET RIDING ALL-SEASON TIRES

I purchased set of four Defender T+H A-S tires 3 years ago at my Mercury dealership. I get tires rotated (front-to-rear/same side) annually. Since I only drive about 5,000 miles per year on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis car, these Michelin tires will last me a long time past the 6-years factory warranty. I get all four tires balanced every 2 years, and keep my tire pressure set at 37psi on all four tires filled with NITROGEN. I do 60% local driving and 40% high-speed turnpike driving and these great Michelin Defender T+H tires have never let me down. Matter-of-fact, I have only purchased Michelin tires since owning my 1989 Ford Crown Victoria S/Wgn. Michelin wrote the book for radial tires; therefore you can't go wrong buying them. This is the 2nd set of Michelin tires on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis having slightly less than 70,000 miles on the vehicle.

Horrible Ride

I had my Michelin Premier Tires replaced at a dealership as they told me they were leaking from the bead. I was appalled as they were only 4 years old with few miles. They were replaced by Michelin Defenders. The ride is absolutely horrible. The car shakes and jolts me over every little bump and crevice in the road. I had them checked after 5 weeks and they stated that everything looked good for the year and state of the car. The suspension also looks good, so I do not understand the horrible ride. My vehicle has always been well maintained and I always have had routine maintenance done.

Quiet, Ride Well, but Tread Depth Lost Quickly

I bought four for my 1997 Toyota Camry four years ago. After 22,000 miles. tire shop told me the interior walls were disintegrating, exposing steel cords, and would not let me drive away with the tire because of liability fears if tire collapsed/exploded. Also, tread was down to 4/32 (should be 7/32 to 9/32 after 22,000 miles), and inner and outer surfaces of tire were without tread. Both front tires were in this state. Not what I expected with a 90,000 -miles-warranty tire. Always keep tires inflated 32-35 psi. Tire shop thought these results were due to manufacturing defect. I see tires were made in Mexico. Purchased them in July 2016. Warranty offer was for 49% coverage, but Defender is no longer available in 14" diameter, so only warranty option was an inferior Uni-Royal tire, a company owned by Michelin. Pretty disappointing. Looking for non-Michelin alternatives for two front tires, maybe General Altimax RT 43, recommended by Consumer Reports.

Great quality of tires

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.

Too firm

I absolutely love the performance and handling of this tire. That being said, it is too firm and does not absorb road bumbs/vibrations very well. This is very close to being the perfect tire, but Michelin really needs to tone down the firmness slightly, and improve the vibration control. I cannot comment on their longetivity as they are still fairly new.

excellent drivability but won't hold air

Have had these tires for two months. Had to inflate 2 lbs over to ride well. Loved them except they won't hold air pressure. Would lose 3-5 lbs every two weeks in all weather conditions. If I put 34 lbs in each all would be 29 in a couple weeks. All four tires had this issue so it isn't a wheel problem. Strangest thing Ive experienced with any tires. Dealer is replacing them next week with another Michelin tire.

Not happy

I had the same tires for over 10 years and were fantastic,so when I decided to get new ones I chose the same ones. Not sure if the tires are faulty or they were installed incorrectly but they are WAY OUT OF BALANCE..I went back and had them rebalance them ( after some convincing) and there are still bad..I don’t really want to return to the same shop but don’t know what to do.

Outstanding grip, quiet, smooth and comfortable ride!

I have owned multiple vehicles with various brands of tires, but never Michelin. Finally purchased a set last week. The difference in handling, grip, comfort and noise level is off the charts. I absolutely cannot believe what a difference they make! If I could give more than 5 stars, I most definitely would.

Good tires but extremely noisy!!!

I bought these for my 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan and absolutely hate them!!! Got them around Thanksgiving and noticed that they were very loud and my MPG was not as high as with my previous tires. I tried to have them exchanged at the place I purchased them, but they would not honor the guarantee. Now that it is summer, and it's much hotter, the tires are even louder! If I had a disposable income I would change these out, but given the price of the tires, that is not possible. While the tread is great for all conditions, please note that you will hear an increase in road noise.
