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

Awesome Tires for my Prius!

These tires are awesome! The ride is fantastic- smooth and quiet. I read the reviews of many tires and the Defender T&H had the least complaints and most praises. I see one commenter saying their gas mileage dropped with their hybrid. I had the exact opposite happen. My mileage increased by 4 miles per gallon. Maybe the installers under inflated their tires or whatever.

These tires are junk

I bought these 4 years ago because I really didn't have a choice in the matter. I was put at ease by the 80,000 mile and 6 year warranty. First thing I notice was a notable decrease in the range of my Leaf. I learned to deal with that. It never got better. The tire noise was on par with all the other tires I have had on the car and same for the ride. Fast forward today and I find out that after only 30,000 miles or only 37.5% of the expected mileage I am told that I need to replace my front 2 tires because they have no tread left. Only driving I do with this car is too and from work. Not even the interstate. Average of 35 mph. To be fair I never really expected 80,000 miles but, I did expect at least 60,000.

Improvements in comfort, handling, safety and noise reduction

Instantly upgraded the complete driving experience on out Toyota Prius. Both comfort and handling improved while the road noise was reduced! Other reviews say they aren't the lightest of tires, so we did see a 1mpg reduction, but expect many miles of use out of them. We've tested them in rain, light snow and dry conditions and never felt unsafe.

Highly recommended!

The Michelin Defender T + H tires are a top-notch choice for drivers seeking reliability, longevity, and performance in all-season tires. With a solid four-star rating, these tires excel in delivering a comfortable and quiet ride, thanks to their advanced tread design and noise-reducing technology. Whether you're cruising on the highway or navigating city streets, the Defender T + H tires provide excellent traction and stability, even in wet or slippery conditions. One of the standout features of these tires is their impressive tread life. Michelin's MaxTouch Construction ensures even wear and extends the lifespan of the tires, providing excellent value for money over the long term. Additionally, the Defender T + H tires are backed by Michelin's reputation for quality and reliability, giving drivers peace of mind on the road. While the Defender T + H tires offer exceptional performance overall, some drivers may find that they lack the sporty handling characteristics of high-performance tires. Additionally, the initial cost of these tires may be higher compared to budget options, but the long-term durability and performance make them a worthwhile investment. In summary, the Michelin Defender T + H tires are a solid choice for drivers prioritizing comfort, longevity, and all-season performance. With their excellent traction, quiet ride, and impressive tread life, these tires are sure to satisfy a wide range of drivers' needs. Highly recommended!

Wonderful Tires!!!

I purchased my Michelin tires 4 months ago and they still look new. It feels good to ride on these Michelin tires and I have no regret about my purchase.
