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.

I've tried other brands and nothing lasts like a Michelin Defender does. if you want a quieter softer ride, Michelin has other lines, but for long distance and reliability, I haven't found anything to match this tire. It doesn't claim to be the quietest, smoothest ride because the rubber is so hard, for that a 60K Michelin tire is a better choice, but if you want longevity from a tire, especially for a salesman travelling a lot, this is the only choice. I drive about 30K+ miles a year and want a tire that I can depend on for longevity and reliability. They are also on my wife's car for the same reasons and I drive easier knowing she is safer.

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!!!

got these for my Camry and it totally transformed the car made the cabin a whole lot quieter. consumer reports thinks highly of these tires so right there is the reason to get them. Michelin is a good tire i had energy saver a s tires there good but not as quiet and dont have the 80-90 thousand mile tread life.

I bought my set of tires in March and the main reason I buy Michelin tires is because I have found that they are the safest tires to drive on front wheel and all wheel drive cars in rain when there is a lot of standing water on highway. Prevents hydroplaning. Have bought several sets of Michelin tires, never had any issues with them.

I have been using the Primacy for 14 years or more. I like Michelin tires and have been buying them for 20 plus years. I didn't like that the dealer only offered me the Primacy so I bought the Defender TH online and had them delivered to the dealer. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, I could feel the difference. The car felt surefooted and the handling was incredibly smooth and quick. The real test will be this winter and how long they hold up. I usually change my tires every 50,000 miles. I'd like to be able to keep them longer.

My wifes 2000 XJ8 drives like a dream. I also just put a st of LTX MS on my 99 "Suburban. This is the 5th set I have put on this truck. I also just put a set of Michelin Pilot Road 5's on my BMW motorcycle. You may notice a trend here. The tires are wonderful and they have never let me down.

2006 Stock Mustang 215/65/16 BFG's to 235/60/16 Mich Defender T+H KYB Stock strut shocks. Fit great, full travel no rubs. Look and feel superior. Recommended as replacement for stock BFG traction T/A Radials. Quiet Sweet Cadillac ride with grip handling and response. Would recommend as an upgrade.

I believe this is the best tire.

Tires are only one week old but the car performs better, handling and ride are great,
