When i bought these they carried a 90,000 mile claim. They have since lowered that to 80,000. I would have been happy to have gotten 50,000. Won't happen. With winter coming I will need to replace these at about 40,000. They do ride well and wear evenly but the mileage claim is very unrealistic.

I purchased four (4) Defender T + H tires at my Mercury dealership in June 2018. These A-S tires have a 6 year factory warranty with 80,000 mile treadwear guarantee providing your rotate and balance tires every 6,000 miles. Since Michelin developed the radial tires with a high standard of quality, I will only purchase Michelin brand tires for all my vehicles. The ride quality is smooth, braking is excellent, and wearability of tires is also excellent. Keep up the great work Michelin.

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

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.

I bought these tires 3 years ago and had them rotated every 5k miles with my oil change. They are right at 50k and need to be replaced. Will see if Michelin stands behind their warranty of 80k miles. If not, one pays a premium price for an average product.

I've been running Cooper tires for 20 years. I decided to go to my local tire dealer and give Michelin a try. We purchased 4 Michelin Defender T+H tires for our 2011 Chevy Malibu. The road noise is totally unacceptable. When you get over 50 MPH it is nearly impossible to carry on a conversation with all the noise. I cannot speak to the performance in snow, as there's no way we can deal with this noise. They may be a great performing tire; however, the road noise is unacceptable. I think I'm going back to Cooper. We've had the tires for 3 months now and can't deal with this any longer.

I have 2006 Toyota Sienna purchased new; it has been a wonderful vehicle. Like many others, I consider safety above all other factors, which is why I have purchased these tires a number of times. However I have been disappointed with the durability of this tire. This will be the third set of Michelin Defender tires I have purchased for this vehicle. The first two sets have failed by a huge margin to meet expectation concerning durability. My wife religiously takes the time to have rotations done. The vehicle has been checked for proper alignment. No matter. Withing 30,000 miles we have been recommended twice to replace the tires due to uneven wear. Even with the pro-rated amount included in the price of a new set it has become more expensive than I think is fair. I was talked in to this last set by my wife because she believes your television commercials. The tire salesman said the compound was a new formula in making these tires and that they should last longer than the others. This does not increase my confidence in the brand. There are many tire manufacturers out there.

I was worried such a high milage tire would provide a hard ride. But the Defender's have provided a great smooth, soft, quiet ride for 90,000 miles. I liked them better than any tire I've ever had. Even though my car will never be able to wear out another set of Defenders, I'm going to put them on anyway. Great tires!

I bought four for my 1997 Toyota Camry four years ago. After 22,000 miles. tire shop told me the interior walls were disintegrating, exposing steel cords, and would not let me drive away with the tire because of liability fears if tire collapsed/exploded. Also, tread was down to 4/32 (should be 7/32 to 9/32 after 22,000 miles), and inner and outer surfaces of tire were without tread. Both front tires were in this state. Not what I expected with a 90,000 -miles-warranty tire. Always keep tires inflated 32-35 psi. Tire shop thought these results were due to manufacturing defect. I see tires were made in Mexico. Purchased them in July 2016. Warranty offer was for 49% coverage, but Defender is no longer available in 14" diameter, so only warranty option was an inferior Uni-Royal tire, a company owned by Michelin. Pretty disappointing. Looking for non-Michelin alternatives for two front tires, maybe General Altimax RT 43, recommended by Consumer Reports.

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!!!
