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 purchased a set of the Defender tires 6 years ago this month. I was excited to see a 90k mile rating. However, my tires have 40k on them and they are down to the wear indicator. I have always had them aired up to recommended tire pressure and rotated every 5k when I had my oil changed. I am still considering a new set of these because they do have good traction in the rain and dry roads. Just wish I got a little more mileage out of them considering the price.

Bought my Michelin's approximately a year ago, have been down to Arizona & back, so they have been through various weather conditions (snow & heat) but no problems! Thankyou Integra Tireshop in Stony Plain for recommending them, you continue to make me a happy customer!

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.

I bought the original Defender tires in August 2013, impressed with the 90k warranty. The wet/snow traction was terrible and they only lasted 61k miles even though I rotated them every 6k miles. I just had Defender T+H installed under warranty. I live in central IL and the wet/snow traction is night and day different. Now I can have some confidence when driving in snow again. The original Defender was terrible. We'll see how the tires wear in the coming years.

Put these on 2012 Mazda 3. Being a small and light weight car it always had wet surface grip problems. Michelins T+H prevented me from killing a person that randomly drove a bicycle across the street during a late night rain storm. I was able to stop really quick without sliding or even getting ABS engaged. All on wet pavement. Grateful for these tires. With my previous tires he or she would have been hit and thrown 10-15 feet forward

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.

Just bought my second set! I sold my last car that had Defenders with lots of mileage on them, but they looked like they only half worn! After my first set, I knew I would be buying them again for my current car. Michelin's are a little more money than some, but you get that money investment back since they last a long time! With the high mileage I do, these are a testament to how well they do. They handle nice and are quiet.

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!

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.
