I had these tires for only two years and 46,000 miles before they needed to be replaced due to low tread. VERY expensive tires for that short life. The comfortable and quite ride was great while they lasted, but not worth the short life.

I have always like this model of tire. Very quiet and smooth on the road. Further they do not slip in wet conditions, providing you are driving like a normal person.

Outstanding Tires! This is my second set of these excellent tires. They are smooth, well-constructed and problem free. They are quiet on the road and make me feel safe that I have the best tires money can buy on my Honda Accord.

Put these on my CRV from the big C store and have only put 24,000 KM on them and now they need replaced. Not happy and will not be buying or recommending these tires to any-one.

I love these tires - the ride is so smooth, stable, braking is awesome, the car feels really connected to the road! Makes me feel safe. So happy I made this choice. :)

Good tires. Good handling, low rolling resistance. However, they only lasted 45k km. Car was aligned and tires rotated. No uneven wear. This is the second time around with the same result. The tires are too expensive for this poor wear.

The worst. Purchased the 225/65R17 for my Honda CRV on 04/18/2022 with 134,223 miles on it and only 27,530 later at 161,753 miles they are worn. This is just back and forth to work here in Southern California and I have always had them dealer rotated and I am a stickler of keeping the correct cold tire pressure suggested by Honda at 30psi ( And I always check as cold pressure which the vehicle has not been in operation for several hours not at a gas station when vehicle has been driving which most people have no clue that's not when you check your tire pressure). I have routine alignment checks etc. etc. The tires are not worn unevenly from any alignment issues at all. The tread is just evenly worn down and these are supposed to be 80,000 mile rated? Give me a break! Not even close and I should have just spent my money on cheaper tires and I would have gotten the same mileage from them.

This year I finally bought my first set of four new tires (previously i had been buying them two at a time). I chose the middle-of-the-road type tires. But they did not ride very softly/smoothly at all, every little crack/bump in the road it felt like my car was hitting bottom. Not great for my back pain. Had my shocks checked just in case and they were fine. So I returned them to the place of purchase and got my Michelin tires. Driving away with them for the first time I immediately felt a huge difference and am enjoying my ride in comfort.

High performance car tires are designed for drivers who demand superior handling, speed, and traction. They offer exceptional grip in dry conditions, sharp cornering, and precise steering response, making them ideal for sporty driving or performance vehicles. These tires enhance braking performance and deliver a more connected, responsive feel on the road. However, they tend to wear faster than standard all-season tires and may not perform as well in cold or wet weather. If you prioritize driving performance and control over longevity, high performance tires are a smart choice.

I love these tires. We have been using them on both of our cars for years. When the OEM tires that came on the vehicle originally needed replaced, I switched to Michellin. I don't remember if the model was the defenders way back then, but we definitely used Michellin and at some point got the Defender and have been using them on my vehicles ever since.
