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.

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.

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.

Great Traction, Wore Out Fast.

I purchased a set of the Defender tires 6 years ago this month. I was excited to see a 90k mile rating. However, my tires have 40k on them and they are down to the wear indicator. I have always had them aired up to recommended tire pressure and rotated every 5k when I had my oil changed. I am still considering a new set of these because they do have good traction in the rain and dry roads. Just wish I got a little more mileage out of them considering the price.

Would definitely recommend Michelin tires.

I have also had Michelin X-ICE tires and based on their performance and ratings of Defender T + H, I wanted to try this tire. I have had them just over a month but I am happy with their performance (quiet, nice ride). I am expecting they will be the best of four types of all season tires I have used in the last 12 years.

Great Tire

Going to get my second set of Defenders TH today. Loved the first set that have about 75K miles on them. Winter is coming and would rather change tires early since I ski and drive on snowy roads. These performed well and I am very satisfied with the tread life.

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 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

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.

Quiet & Efficient Tires!

I purchased these tires after 70K miles on my previous Michelins. I run them on a VW Golf TDI @ 45 PSI, and they've continued my 50+ MPG streak, all while providing a quiet and comforting ride. I've put 16K miles on them in 8 months, so I can say my overall impressions are well-earned.
