The best tires you can buy for light SUV

Due to Covid the miles I am driving are severely reduced but I just did 800 Miles on a run from Chester PA to Boston and back in 2 days. I had a set of four fitted to my 2013 Volvo XC60 and chose to pay more than the Goodyear which was my second choice. Michelens ruin quiet, give excellent traction in both rain and snow.

loudest tires I have ever purchaced

I purchased set of 4 Defender T+H for my 2014 Subaru Forester in May 2018. The traction in snow was good this past winter. BUT, they are the Loudest tires I have ever used. I carpool with 3 other people and they all say they think the tires are very noisy. The noise is loud, then very loud as speed increases, especially when going over 35mph. They seem to be getting louder as I put more miles on the car. I only have 7000 miles on them. I hope the store that installed them will give me some credit towards installing new, quieter tires. I keep detailed mileage records. These Defender T&H tires are getting 7% worse mileage (comparing same month to same month) than the OEM Bridgestone tires that came when my Forester was new.

Perfect for my Mercedes W124

I decided on the Michelin Defender T+H based on the advice on my Mercedes mechanic as he was spot on. These replaced my Pirelli P4's with only 16k miles on. I was miserable with the Pirelli and was experiencing very poor traction in all conditions. The Michelins grip in all conditions and they have restored my confidence in my car's safe handling. My Mercedes is thirty years old now and I still enjoy driving my 300E it's almost as much fun as my R172...but not quite.

Disappointing wear

We've had these for 20,000 miles, and the loss of tread is surprising, sort of amazing. No longer suitable for next winter when it snows 2 inches. Otherwise, a good all-round tire. Great gas mileage, good handling, not too noisy, stops well. Would like the same tire, but getting 40,000 miles out of them for all four seasons.

These tires are junk

I bought these 4 years ago because I really didn't have a choice in the matter. I was put at ease by the 80,000 mile and 6 year warranty. First thing I notice was a notable decrease in the range of my Leaf. I learned to deal with that. It never got better. The tire noise was on par with all the other tires I have had on the car and same for the ride. Fast forward today and I find out that after only 30,000 miles or only 37.5% of the expected mileage I am told that I need to replace my front 2 tires because they have no tread left. Only driving I do with this car is too and from work. Not even the interstate. Average of 35 mph. To be fair I never really expected 80,000 miles but, I did expect at least 60,000.

Awesome Tires for my Prius!

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.

Extremely Disappointed

I purchased Michelin T + H Tires 3-1/2 years ago with a 6-year, 80,000 mile warranty. with just over 30,000 miles. Tires no longer grip on damp roads spinning on acceleration from a dead stop. Dealer tells me I can replace with a prorated offer. I typically get 6 years with 60,000+ miles with a cheaper brand tire driving in harsh weather conditions.

MareBear, the limited mileage warranty should allow you credit toward a set of replacement tires. The amount of credit is based on the mileage received. Sounds like your retailer is handling this based on the warranty.

Better Ride than a top competitor!

I had Bridgestone tires on my Honda CR-V, they wore quickly, got bumpy and the ride was terrible! I've had the new Michelin Defender T&H tires on now for several months, have rotated twice since installing them and they are still looking like new and show no signs of wear. The ride is smooth!

What great tires!

I bought a set of four Defenders for my 1996 Toyota Avalon five years ago and now have 70,000 miles on them. They still look young and have between 5/32-6/32nds of remaining tread. They ride well, handle well, and will easily go the 80,000 miles as advertised.
