This year I finally bought my first set of four new tires (previously i had been buying them two at a time). I chose the middle-of-the-road type tires. But they did not ride very softly/smoothly at all, every little crack/bump in the road it felt like my car was hitting bottom. Not great for my back pain. Had my shocks checked just in case and they were fine. So I returned them to the place of purchase and got my Michelin tires. Driving away with them for the first time I immediately felt a huge difference and am enjoying my ride in comfort.

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!

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.

My husband bought this brand for our family member, and one of the things he liked was that it has good grip or traction, excellent performance on different floor textures, and best of all, it doesn't wear out easily.

I love these tires - the ride is so smooth, stable, braking is awesome, the car feels really connected to the road! Makes me feel safe. So happy I made this choice. :)

I have always like this model of tire. Very quiet and smooth on the road. Further they do not slip in wet conditions, providing you are driving like a normal person.

Put a set of the Defenders on my 2016 Chevy Impala Limited LT. The day we left for vacation is was pouring rain and the day we left to come back it was poring rain with flash flooding. I could not have ask for a better tire on the wet services. Highways traveled were Black top and concrete on interstates. Handling and ride were both great. Short of Excellent is that I have not driven in snow now lets see how far they will go on wear. purchased them April of 2017

We bought these tires a little under 5 years ago to replace the OEM tires on our pilot and will be replacing them this winter. I've driven in harsh/snowy conditions without dedicated snow tires most of my adult life and I've never had as many issues as I've had with this tire. I've lost all confidence in its ability to handle even the smallest amount of snow.

Good tires. Good handling, low rolling resistance. However, they only lasted 45k km. Car was aligned and tires rotated. No uneven wear. This is the second time around with the same result. The tires are too expensive for this poor wear.

I bought these in February 2023, replacing a set of Premiere A/S,. I get there will be some handling and ride adjustment . The A/S was fabulous until they got down to 3mls. Even though they only lasted 42000 mile, I would have bought another set, I thought they were that good. The Defenders are like driving offroad tires. Every inperfection on the road surface is felt. I have had vibration thru the steering wheel and rough ride feel throughout the cabin. At just under 3000mi, I had my mechanic go over the tires and the entire front end. He rotated and rebalanced all four tires since there was nothing else he could find. This caused a reduction in the vibration but the ride is incredibly hard. I could have saved a $100/tire and just bought a private brand label for this ride. Clearly I do not recommend these tires
