New Purchase Satified

Nothing better than new tires, especially when they ride as well as these! Glad I purchased this brand instead of another.

Great feel

I bought these tires for the handling and tread wear life. While they are not as quiet as they are rated, the handling is superior and it seems I am getting better gas mileage. Pretty happy overall with this purchase!

Don't buy for Prius!

I have these tires on my Toyota Prius and while the tires perform seemingly well, my gas mileage has decreased from 50 to 41. This is an absurd amount of change and therefore not worth the money. Do not but these for your Prius if you have one!

Ken, sorry to read this. New tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires.  As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases.  Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Excellant Smooth Ride !

Michelin are the best tires you can have, cost a little more in the beginning but they pay off way down the road, smooth , quite ride and far less rolling resistance, a fine tire to say the least !

Will buy again!

Bought these just before the start of 2019 have over 40,000 miles on them. They are still looking good and are great in the snow and rain. Will buy them again.

Only lasted 32,000 miles

Purchased these tires July 2017. Went to have them rotated March 2019, & there's not enough tread left to rotate them. I only have 32k miles on them. Absolutely should not be marketed as 80k mile tires!

Buyer Beware Tires subject to excessive cracking!

Purchased 4 defenders in 2014. All 4 have sever cracking on sidewalls 4 years later. Lots of tread left. Tires not over/under inflated, Harsh chemicals not used to clean or treat tire. Expected more from Michelin

Great to be riding with Bib

Haven't had Michelins for years but must say I am extremely happy with the ride and performance regarding the tires I purchased for my Grand Caravan. This could lead to a long term relationship. Roll on!

Long lasting

I put a lot of miles on my civic these have been great in florida rain. I've never had a tire this good and i drive a lot. It is the t+h defender. Go buy a set.

Great MPG, traction and wear

I have 80;780 miles on my current Defender tires. I replaced run flats Goodyear standard on my BMW 528xDrive for those that claim they're loud or didn't get the wear I'm not sure what to say. Very new they were a bit louder than the Goodyear. I check the tire pressure and noticed the installers over inflated each tire by 4 lbs After I set the correct pressure (listed on door jam) the noise lessened. First winter I drove into an ice storm freeway was sheet of ice cars sliding and hitting each other all around me my antilock brakes started aggressively pulsing I saw small opening hit the gas peddle and drove through the wrecked and wrecking cars. I get 3-5 MPG more than the original tires I still have tread after 80,000 miles of aggressive driving. These are the best tires I've ever owned. For all those 1-3 star reviewers correct tire pressure and rotate every 8-10,000 and you will find theses are phenomenal tires. I have installed 3 more sets over the past few years the only noisy installation was my nieces Kia and that was due to high mileage on a weak suspension. She learned to love the tire and after a few thousand miles the noise was much less. On another note I have hit sharp potholes at fast speeds with no loss of pressure there were 7 or more cars that had blown tires from this sharp pothole
