Worth every penny

These are by far the best tires, definitely worth the price. They are quiet and great in the rain, exactly what I was looking for.

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!

Improvements in comfort, handling, safety and noise reduction

Instantly upgraded the complete driving experience on out Toyota Prius. Both comfort and handling improved while the road noise was reduced! Other reviews say they aren't the lightest of tires, so we did see a 1mpg reduction, but expect many miles of use out of them. We've tested them in rain, light snow and dry conditions and never felt unsafe.

Used to be good, now...Not so long lasting (i'm retired

Im old retired guy driving sedately in my 2015 Kia Soul. My last set lasted wonderfully, however; this set lasted half that with the same retired driving style, perfect rotation and inflation, as this old guy does. I may expect +/- 5%, but this is waaay out of spec. It's like the French gave this load to the Americans to manufacture. We're moving on.

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

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.

Quiet !!!

I bought a set of these about a month ago because I needed to replace my tires. The car I was replacing tires on is a 2013 Ford C-Max and we primarily use it as our daily driver. I told the counter guy I was looking for long life and primarily a quiet ride as this small car had a lot of road noise. Wow, what a difference! These tires are really quiet and I'm hoping to get the same kind of mileage that I'm getting on my original equipment Michelin shod Ford F150

Good for city, very poor for highway!

Had these tires for 10 months and they cannot hold the road at highway speeds. This is very noticeable on curves when driving over 80 km/h and also when braking at high speeds! There could be technical or design reasons but I think this is a lower quality tire than the previous two sets of Michelin tires I used. I ended up with the Defender T+H because the Michelin Pilot MXM4 was retired and the Defender supposedly replaced it. Sadly, it didn't measure up.

Michelin Defender T + H
5 out of 5 stars review

Great value for your money

I bought my Michelin Defender T + H in April 2023. Not only did I get a 70 $ rebate, I enjoyed a great ride with my new tires. They takes the corners well and they are not noisy like most tires are. Definitely a good value for my money. I will continue to buy Michelin from my mechanic's shop.
