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!

Peace of Mind!

I bought these tires because of the safety rating and the ability to stop on wet roads. The amazing ride that these tires provide is 100% pure bonus. So my Michelin tires make me feel like I'm in a luxury car but most important they give me Peace of Mind!

Didn't go the distance

When i bought these they carried a 90,000 mile claim. They have since lowered that to 80,000. I would have been happy to have gotten 50,000. Won't happen. With winter coming I will need to replace these at about 40,000. They do ride well and wear evenly but the mileage claim is very unrealistic.

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

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.

Good and bad

No question about the quality of the tire, but the 80K rating (something which was admittedly a key factor in my decision to buy) meant THE hardest tread compound of any tire I've ever purchased. The result was THE noisiest, roughest ride on a car (2012 Outback) which wasn't the smoothest or quietest riding to begin with. But for those whom maximum mileage is your #1 goal beyond all else, then this should be among your first choices.

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.

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.

Good tires but extremely noisy!!!

I bought these for my 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan and absolutely hate them!!! Got them around Thanksgiving and noticed that they were very loud and my MPG was not as high as with my previous tires. I tried to have them exchanged at the place I purchased them, but they would not honor the guarantee. Now that it is summer, and it's much hotter, the tires are even louder! If I had a disposable income I would change these out, but given the price of the tires, that is not possible. While the tread is great for all conditions, please note that you will hear an increase in road noise.

Terrific Tires

We replaced the Original Equipment Michelin Tires on my 2013 Camry with Michelin Defender T+H BSW Tires. These are providing good traction, a quite ride and comfort. We have equipped our cars with Michelin Tires for many years and have always gotten more than expected.
