Excellent Riding Tires

I bought these to replace the OEM Firestones that lasted 40,000 miles. The ride is much improved and road noise greatly reduced. My wife and I very much appreciate the way it grips both wet and dry surfaces. I have always been a Michelin fan (Continental & Perrelli). Highly recommend this product.

Smooth and quiet!

Bought these in April of this year to replace the original Continental Contacts that came with my new 2016 Honda CR-V. Was going to buy Toyos that I had on my 2008 CR-V, which I liked as they were quiet and smooth, but my go to tire shop person highly recommended that I would like the Defender better. So I gave them a try and he was right! They are actually smoother and quieter to the point that at times I have to look at the speedometer to make sure I'm within the speed limit. As one who looks for value and performance, I would recommend these tires! Honda cr-v

Safe anywhere and oh so smooth!

We've been riding on our new tires (all four) since August 2021. We have taken long highways trips and have climbed the mountains of the Western Catskills in New York. I never felt safer. The ride was so smooth that if my eyes were closed, I wouldn't know if I were on the highway or the dirt mountain road.

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.

Michelin Defenders are Great

I just put Defenders on my 2010 Civic and I can not believe the difference they made in the ride. The previous tires were loud and rough riding (which Civics are know for anyway) but these tires made a huge difference. I never really believed that tires could make this much difference but I do now. This is my first set of Michelins and I might never buy anything else again. Of course I just got them and it's summer so I haven't tried them out in rain or snow but my initial thoughts are outstanding.

Smooth Quiet Ride-in addition it's responsive

Better handling than the M+S... I had purchased the T+H and the installer put on the M+S, talked to the dealer after driving those and they changed to what I bought. The difference was night and day. These are much better tires than the M+S. Very responsive to steering inputs.

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.

Great MPG, traction and wear

I have 80;780 miles on my current Defender tires. I replaced run flats Goodyear standard on my BMW 528xDrive for those that claim they’re loud or didn’t get the wear I’m not sure what to say. Very new they were a bit louder than the Goodyear. I check the tire pressure and noticed the installers over inflated each tire by 4 lbs After I set the correct pressure (listed on door jam) the noise lessened. First winter I drove into an ice storm freeway was sheet of ice cars sliding and hitting each other all around me my antilock brakes started aggressively pulsing I saw small opening hit the gas peddle and drove through the wrecked and wrecking cars. I get 3-5 MPG more than the original tires I still have tread after 80,000 miles of aggressive driving. These are the best tires I’ve ever owned. For all those 1-3 star reviewers correct tire pressure and rotate every 8-10,000 and you will find theses are phenomenal tires. I have installed 3 more sets over the past few years the only noisy installation was my nieces Kia and that was due to high mileage on a weak suspension. She learned to love the tire and after a few thousand miles the noise was much less. On another note I have hit sharp potholes at fast speeds with no loss of pressure there were 7 or more cars that had blown tires from this sharp pothole

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.

Great performance on Ford Escape

I have used these same tires on my 2009 Ford Escape and with regular rotation I got 89,000 + mile on the before I traded the ar. I have installed the new version T+H on my 2014 Escape and am looking forward to not ever having to change them! Great all weather performance on dry, wet and snowy roads. Quite quiet for a trie with a deeper then normal tread.
