Very nice tires for my hybrid malibu.

I bought these little over a month ago, I drive all highway miles and already have put 10000 miles on them. At first I thought my car felt loose in them but that was because my old tires were so bad. These tires ride very nice, very quite even though my car sits 7 inches off the ground. Wet road handling is great and they are designed to last many many miles ahead. Very happy with my purchase.

Kept Me on the Road

I use Michelin's on my SUV that I pull a vendor trailer with and they never let me down in over 8 years. So, when it was time for my family car to get new tires I got Defenders. These were highly rated and my Tire and Repair shop recommended them so I know I have the best I can get and feel safe on the road.

excellent drivability but won't hold air

Have had these tires for two months. Had to inflate 2 lbs over to ride well. Loved them except they won't hold air pressure. Would lose 3-5 lbs every two weeks in all weather conditions. If I put 34 lbs in each all would be 29 in a couple weeks. All four tires had this issue so it isn't a wheel problem. Strangest thing Ive experienced with any tires. Dealer is replacing them next week with another Michelin tire.

Safety First

I bought my set of tires in March and the main reason I buy Michelin tires is because I have found that they are the safest tires to drive on front wheel and all wheel drive cars in rain when there is a lot of standing water on highway. Prevents hydroplaning. Have bought several sets of Michelin tires, never had any issues with them.

Totally met and exceeded my expectations.

I purchase this tire shortly after I bought my used Saturn Vue. I had BF GOODRICH tires that delivered very poor wet traction. I hated doing it and resisted because the BFG's had only about 6000 miles wear on them. I did not expect the amount of difference these new tires made both wet traction and snow/ice. BFG's are a good grade tires but Michelin Defender T/H is exceptional for the money.

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.

Best winter tires ever!

I bought brand new winter tires in December. This was the first time I had ever purchased winter tires, but after ten years of driving, I understood it was time to lower the risks of accidents and thought I'd invest in new tires now so that I can save in the long run. Plus, I wasn't really saving when wearing out my all-season every year, so it made more sense to me (finally) to alternate between the two types of tires. The drive in the winter was completely different after installing my winter tires. I can feel the way the tires hugged the snow and gently stopped when I applied the breaks! This was especially important for me since I drive often between Toronto and Montreal where road conditions can be unpredictable in the winter time. I love my Michelin tires!

Excellent tires

I purchased my first set of Michelin Defenders for a full size van and I have to say these were the very best tires I've ever bought. After 5 seasons of summer use, there was still a lot of thread left. In my opinion, there is no other tire out there that lasts as long as these. This is an excellent product and I will never buy another brand of tire but Michelin.

reliable tires

I've been buying tires from Michelin for more than 30 years, in my business and on my personal cars and trucks. It's nice not to have to research a tire or wonder if it will hold up. they're always good long lasting tires. made in North America too so you know they care.

New Model of MICHELIN® Defender is Not Reliable.

Before I used MICHELIN® Defender 2016 which provided excellent and accurate braking performance, but the new model MICHELIN® Defender 2018 is horrible. After purchasing my new car with MICHELIN® Defender made 2018, I drove on the highway in winter about the speed of 70km, The slippy situation on tires happened Out of Control, and brought me extremely danger. With luck I turned the handling wheel and fully stop on the other lane and my car was in opposite direction with 2~3 meters toward the side of the guard bar of Hwy. It brought me very terrible experience, would be the Last time of installing MICHELIN® tire. Not recommended.
