I have also had Michelin X-ICE tires and based on their performance and ratings of Defender T + H, I wanted to try this tire. I have had them just over a month but I am happy with their performance (quiet, nice ride). I am expecting they will be the best of four types of all season tires I have used in the last 12 years.

I had the same tires for over 10 years and were fantastic,so when I decided to get new ones I chose the same ones. Not sure if the tires are faulty or they were installed incorrectly but they are WAY OUT OF BALANCE..I went back and had them rebalance them ( after some convincing) and there are still bad..I don’t really want to return to the same shop but don’t know what to do.

I bought these tires for my wife's Honda CRV because Hurricane Harvey was coming and I was concerned with her driving in the wet weather due to large amounts of water on the roadway. It was amazing at how well these tires handled. We didn't notice any hydroplaning and no sliding when braking. I even tested the tried braking hard and accelerating hard to test them out with impressive results.

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!

I purchased set of four Defender T+H A-S tires 3 years ago at my Mercury dealership. I get tires rotated (front-to-rear/same side) annually. Since I only drive about 5,000 miles per year on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis car, these Michelin tires will last me a long time past the 6-years factory warranty. I get all four tires balanced every 2 years, and keep my tire pressure set at 37psi on all four tires filled with NITROGEN. I do 60% local driving and 40% high-speed turnpike driving and these great Michelin Defender T+H tires have never let me down. Matter-of-fact, I have only purchased Michelin tires since owning my 1989 Ford Crown Victoria S/Wgn. Michelin wrote the book for radial tires; therefore you can't go wrong buying them. This is the 2nd set of Michelin tires on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis having slightly less than 70,000 miles on the vehicle.

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.

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.

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!

Bought 4 sets of tires and the moment I drove out of the dealership after install, I immediately felt the difference from my old tires. It's quiet and traction is excellent on curves. no wiggles when tried at 140 km/hr, smooth ride and did not felt that I was cruising at this speed. This brand is excellent and highly recommended. You get the satisfaction what you pay for.

I bought these for my 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan and absolutely hate them!!! Got them around Thanksgiving and noticed that they were very loud and my MPG was not as high as with my previous tires. I tried to have them exchanged at the place I purchased them, but they would not honor the guarantee. Now that it is summer, and it's much hotter, the tires are even louder! If I had a disposable income I would change these out, but given the price of the tires, that is not possible. While the tread is great for all conditions, please note that you will hear an increase in road noise.
