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!

Love those Defenders

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!

Disappointed with predecessor Defender tread life

Bought Defenders in October 2014 for a 2009 Toyota Camry. I was impressed with reviews, and tread life advertised at 90,000. Figured a tire might not make its full tread life, but even in normal city/highway driving conditions, two of the tires are now at 2/32" after only 35,000 miles and 4 years, and should be replaced. One is at 3, and one is at four. I rotate every 5000; definitely have done one or two alignments since the initial installation alignment. Other than the tread life, the tire rode well and was quiet. I've seen other poor reviews of the Defenders due to tread life. Since then, Michelin has revised the line, so perhaps the tread life has improved.

Disappointing wear

We've had these for 20,000 miles, and the loss of tread is surprising, sort of amazing. No longer suitable for next winter when it snows 2 inches. Otherwise, a good all-round tire. Great gas mileage, good handling, not too noisy, stops well. Would like the same tire, but getting 40,000 miles out of them for all four seasons.

Exquisite, luxuriously smooth ride!

I just spoiled myself with four brand new Michelin Defender T+H's today. The drive from the tire shop back to my place was so smooth and rich - like German Chocolate cake - that I had to drink a glass of milk when I got home. Getting brand new Michelins is a hell of an ego boost for me. If you ain't first, you're last, and the only way to be first is to buy Michelin tires.

Another great set of Michelin tires

While I've only had these tires for four days, I've had the opportunity to drive on them in a variety of environments - dry, wet, slush, snow, ice, highway and streets - and have been thoroughly impressed with all aspects of this tire. It's quiet, rides smooth, and handles the road well. Excellent wet traction and handled the snow admirably. Obviously I can't speak to the longevity of these tires yet, but given my previous experiences with Michelin tires I fully expect them to hold up well in the long run.

Good and bad

No question about the quality of the tire, but the 80K rating (something which was admittedly a key factor in my decision to buy) meant THE hardest tread compound of any tire I've ever purchased. The result was THE noisiest, roughest ride on a car (2012 Outback) which wasn't the smoothest or quietest riding to begin with. But for those whom maximum mileage is your #1 goal beyond all else, then this should be among your first choices.

Let's see this 80,000 starting now!

I just purchase these tires and will keep an update ongoing. So far, don't hear the noise as other owners mentioned. Feels like they are absorbing unmanaged roads better than the stock Firestones on 2019 Hybrid Camrys, which only get 25k - 30k miles.

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

Peace of Mind!

I bought these tires because of the safety rating and the ability to stop on wet roads. The amazing ride that these tires provide is 100% pure bonus. So my Michelin tires make me feel like I'm in a luxury car but most important they give me Peace of Mind!
