Consumer Care

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

What happened to what used to be great tires?

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.

Most comfortable tires I've ever owned!
