Good and bad

No question about the quality of the tire, but the 80K rating (something which was admittedly a key factor in my decision to buy) meant THE hardest tread compound of any tire I've ever purchased. The result was THE noisiest, roughest ride on a car (2012 Outback) which wasn't the smoothest or quietest riding to begin with. But for those whom maximum mileage is your #1 goal beyond all else, then this should be among your first choices.

Best winter tires ever!

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!

Better Ride than a top competitor!

I had Bridgestone tires on my Honda CR-V, they wore quickly, got bumpy and the ride was terrible! I've had the new Michelin Defender T&H tires on now for several months, have rotated twice since installing them and they are still looking like new and show no signs of wear. The ride is smooth!

T&H are the way to go!

I was told the T&H was better than the new 2's. So I was glad my local tire dealer still had sets of the older Defenders. Car is now extremely quiet and smooth compared to the set of Difinity tires our car came with. The old tires still had plenty of tread with only 20k of use, but were dangerously squirrelly in the wet. These Michelins are awesome in the wet!

I am totally happy with my Michelin tires!

Bought my Michelin’s approximately a year ago, have been down to Arizona & back, so they have been through various weather conditions (snow & heat) but no problems! Thankyou Integra Tireshop in Stony Plain for recommending them, you continue to make me a happy customer!

Great tire

I bought these tires for my wife's Honda CRV because Hurricane Harvey was coming and I was concerned with her driving in the wet weather due to large amounts of water on the roadway. It was amazing at how well these tires handled. We didn't notice any hydroplaning and no sliding when braking. I even tested the tried braking hard and accelerating hard to test them out with impressive results.

Smooth but only get 50k miles

I can't give 5 stars due to early wear. I've had several sets of the Defender 215/60 R16 tires. You get a smooth quiet ride but your only going to get about 50,000 miles before they begin to crack and tread is just about worn down. Handling in the rain will make you nervous and ready for new tread. I drive a 2002 Toyota Camry V6 3.0 engine and 4.9 years and 49.6k miles I need new tires. I am a fairly aggressive driver maybe. I do use the power of a 6 cyl. I am not sure more faithful rotations could get me 40k more miles. I am currently tire shopping and doing lots of research. I hear the pirelli is also a good tire, should I switch or not

Could feel the difference from the start

I have been using the Primacy for 14 years or more. I like Michelin tires and have been buying them for 20 plus years. I didn't like that the dealer only offered me the Primacy so I bought the Defender TH online and had them delivered to the dealer. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, I could feel the difference. The car felt surefooted and the handling was incredibly smooth and quick. The real test will be this winter and how long they hold up. I usually change my tires every 50,000 miles. I'd like to be able to keep them longer.

Great performance

This is my second set of Defenders on two different vehicles and I also own a set of X-Ice Snow used on a front wheel drive Japanese sedan. Michelin's renowned quality is far from overrated. The Defenders T+ H delivers an amazing stable smooth and silent ride. Didn't gave 5 stars because there are better Michelin products for handling heavy puddling rain conditions at high speed. Not a problem for a seasoned driver but I wouldn't let my old father exceed 60 mph in a rainstorm on crappy Quebec roads.

Great Fuel Efficiency but too rigid and bit noisy

I bought this to replace my Premier as there was no Premier which fit to my Subaru Outback any more. Gas mileage has been improved over 10%. But, it is a bit noisier than Premier and bit too rigid. Premier was much better in terms of ride comfort.
