I believe this is the best tire.

I purchased a set of 4 of these for my RDX and was initially happy with them. I have 10K mostly highway miles on them now, and have become increasingly disappointed with the road noise and especially hard ride. i.e. over separations in the road, bridges and speed bumps.

Bought these tires because I read that they provide a comfortable and quiet ride, and because Michelin has a good reputation. Unfortunately these tires have been the opposite of comfortable. The ride is very rough, even when I'm on what seem to be flat roads. Not sure if mine are defective or not but these tires have turned driving from a fun experience to something I really don't enjoy.

I just put Defenders on my 2010 Civic and I can not believe the difference they made in the ride. The previous tires were loud and rough riding (which Civics are know for anyway) but these tires made a huge difference. I never really believed that tires could make this much difference but I do now. This is my first set of Michelins and I might never buy anything else again. Of course I just got them and it's summer so I haven't tried them out in rain or snow but my initial thoughts are outstanding.

didn't rotate these every 10,000k and they lasted like 40,000 k on my Jeep Patriot in mostly highway travel before I had to replace them because of wear. They were quiet and gave a smooth ride, but based on my experience I didn't go with them again.

I bought these tires for my wife's Honda CRV because Hurricane Harvey was coming and I was concerned with her driving in the wet weather due to large amounts of water on the roadway. It was amazing at how well these tires handled. We didn't notice any hydroplaning and no sliding when braking. I even tested the tried braking hard and accelerating hard to test them out with impressive results.

I replaced my five-year-old, all season, Michelin 'harmony' tires with four new, all season, Michelin 'defender T+H' tires last month. Checked before tires put on for the DOT on all 4 tires, clearly indicated month & year tires manufactured. I wanted tires manufactured in Canada, not the U.S.A. November 2017, driving in -4 temperatures, salted roads were melting and freezing again. Traffic was crawling at 45 miles/hr. over patches of black ice. I credit these tires for keeping me on the road that day. However, these tires should not replace winter tires. Excellent tire & braking grip on the road. Quiet ride. Will update after a year.

I bought Michelin Defenders as my latest "summer" tires and they wore out after about 18 months of normal use less than 1/5th of the way through their 145K warranty and have been worse than any previous ones I've had. Going through the warranty process for these expensive tires is also a frustrating struggle so I'm very disappointed.

Worst Tire I've used. Bought my car brand new with these tires and one was dry rot. These tires are nail magnetic.

My ride was noticeably smoother and quieter after changing my OEM tires to these beauties. “When you buy quality, you only cry once.”
