I bought this tires in July 2022 for my wife's daily driver. What a difference in the ride quality. The way the car feels on the road is totally different considering, I was replacing some generic Import brands that were super cheap!. You pay what you got. We are not dissaointed with this Defenders from Michelin. Its totally worth it, and definietly I will recommend this brand to anyone.

I have owned multiple vehicles with various brands of tires, but never Michelin. Finally purchased a set last week. The difference in handling, grip, comfort and noise level is off the charts. I absolutely cannot believe what a difference they make! If I could give more than 5 stars, I most definitely would.

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.

I had the Defender tire and after 40000 mi I replaced them with the Defender t+h. the handling at speed is not the same. My car is not as stable as it was before. The best way to describe it is that the car floats. When changing lanes or just going down the freeway. The car does not feel stable as it wants to follow road groves and the back end sways when I change lanes. It’s as if the side wall is not the same. I have 205 r 55 16 s on the car and it’s as if I have 205 r 65 16 on the car. As for the rest of the tire I cannot tell you as I have only put 800 mi on a road trip and did not have to drive in rain or have a panicked stop. But I will be replacing the tires. This issue is not on jut my car my sister has them on her car at the same time as me in a different state. Same thing for her.

I absolutely love the performance and handling of this tire. That being said, it is too firm and does not absorb road bumbs/vibrations very well. This is very close to being the perfect tire, but Michelin really needs to tone down the firmness slightly, and improve the vibration control. I cannot comment on their longetivity as they are still fairly new.

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

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.

We bought these tires a little under 5 years ago to replace the OEM tires on our pilot and will be replacing them this winter. I've driven in harsh/snowy conditions without dedicated snow tires most of my adult life and I've never had as many issues as I've had with this tire. I've lost all confidence in its ability to handle even the smallest amount of snow.

I've been buying tires from Michelin for more than 30 years, in my business and on my personal cars and trucks. It's nice not to have to research a tire or wonder if it will hold up. they're always good long lasting tires. made in North America too so you know they care.

Put a set of the Defenders on my 2016 Chevy Impala Limited LT. The day we left for vacation is was pouring rain and the day we left to come back it was poring rain with flash flooding. I could not have ask for a better tire on the wet services. Highways traveled were Black top and concrete on interstates. Handling and ride were both great. Short of Excellent is that I have not driven in snow now lets see how far they will go on wear. purchased them April of 2017
