Very Bumpy and Uncomfortable Ride

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.

So Far So Good

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.

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.

SHORTCOMINGS

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.

The best tires you can buy for light SUV

Due to Covid the miles I am driving are severely reduced but I just did 800 Miles on a run from Chester PA to Boston and back in 2 days. I had a set of four fitted to my 2013 Volvo XC60 and chose to pay more than the Goodyear which was my second choice. Michelens ruin quiet, give excellent traction in both rain and snow.

Immediate Gratification

2006 Stock Mustang 215/65/16 BFG's to 235/60/16 Mich Defender T+H KYB Stock strut shocks. Fit great, full travel no rubs. Look and feel superior. Recommended as replacement for stock BFG traction T/A Radials. Quiet Sweet Cadillac ride with grip handling and response. Would recommend as an upgrade.

Tires to Phoenix

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.

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.

Another great set of Michelin tires

While I've only had these tires for four days, I've had the opportunity to drive on them in a variety of environments - dry, wet, slush, snow, ice, highway and streets - and have been thoroughly impressed with all aspects of this tire. It's quiet, rides smooth, and handles the road well. Excellent wet traction and handled the snow admirably. Obviously I can't speak to the longevity of these tires yet, but given my previous experiences with Michelin tires I fully expect them to hold up well in the long run.

Terrible in the snow

We bought these tires a little under 5 years ago to replace the OEM tires on our pilot and will be replacing them this winter. I've driven in harsh/snowy conditions without dedicated snow tires most of my adult life and I've never had as many issues as I've had with this tire. I've lost all confidence in its ability to handle even the smallest amount of snow.
