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

Two thumps up!

These new Defender H+T tires are great! I put 12,500 miles on them and it doesn't even look like any tread is worn. These are definitely going to last way longer than the 1st generation Defenders. The noise level is minimal and the handling is reassuring at higher speeds. I do believe that these tires will fill my expectations!

Gripping Quiet Tire

Bought four Defender T+H tires for our 2006 Honda Odyssey LX which we drive in the Midwest. The tires have very good grip in normal, dry, paved-road conditions and are very quiet. The ride has been silky smooth at all speeds. We haven't had a chance to drive with the tires in rain or snow yet. We are very happy with their performance and would purchase them again, or for another vehicle. We first found out about the Defender Tire from Consumer Reports magazine's reviews. Michelin made them affordable with their 70 dollar rebate which you can fill out online. When comparison shopping, always ask for the "out-the-door price".

Best Tires EVER!

I bought Michelin Defenders almost 5 years ago. Just bought my 2nd set today. My first ones took me 90k miles. No question they are worth the money. I wish I had bought them years ago. They would have saved me so much money in the end. They last and they are a smooth ride. I plan to keep my car another 5 years so these are perfect and will carry me to retirement. Thank you Michelin for making a GREAT tire!!!

Great set of tires.

Replaced the now-discontinued Dunlop Champiro tires I had previously with 28,000 miles on them. The initial 10,000 miles sound like all-terrain tires as they are rated at 80,000 miles. Currently have 19,000 miles on them and they are holding up well. Even drove over a nail that hold up until I noticed it on the sidewall. That's how tough is it when driving 70 mph on the highway. Replaced the affected tire with the same brand as the other three.

A good tire

I bought these based on recommendations and overall reviews. The first thing I noticed is how well they stick to the road, I felt very in control. The second thing I noticed is how quickly I was going and didn't realize it due to the control factor. I have also noticed every little bump on the road.

Quiet and smooth

I bought these yesterday in Salt Lake and they are great. On the way back home they much quieter than the Douglas extra tracks that I replaced. They also rolled much smoother, there was a little bit of vibration but I think it was from over inflation when they mounted them. I lowered the pressure from 42 psi., to 35 psi and took my truck for a drive and the vibration is gone . These are great tires and I would buy them again if still available, but Michelin does not show this size anymore in the Defender T+H, the other deciding factor is if my truck is still operable as it is 34 year's old.

loudest tires I have ever purchaced

I purchased set of 4 Defender T+H for my 2014 Subaru Forester in May 2018. The traction in snow was good this past winter. BUT, they are the Loudest tires I have ever used. I carpool with 3 other people and they all say they think the tires are very noisy. The noise is loud, then very loud as speed increases, especially when going over 35mph. They seem to be getting louder as I put more miles on the car. I only have 7000 miles on them. I hope the store that installed them will give me some credit towards installing new, quieter tires. I keep detailed mileage records. These Defender T&H tires are getting 7% worse mileage (comparing same month to same month) than the OEM Bridgestone tires that came when my Forester was new.

Loudest Michelin tire

After many years and many miles, took off a set of Michelin Primacy tires and replaced them with Michelin Defender T + H tires on my wife's 2008 Toyota Avalon Limited. These Defender T+H are are loudest Michelin tires I ever hand a car. They were load enough that I though it may have been a wheel bearing, but the Toyota dealer said it was the tires. Previous tires were quiet Michelin HydroEdge on a Nissan Maxima and Michelin Premier on a Buick Lucerne. I should have bought Michelin Premier which were smoothest quietest tires ever. But bought the Defender T+H because of the extreme long tread life.
