I bought the original Defender tires in August 2013, impressed with the 90k warranty. The wet/snow traction was terrible and they only lasted 61k miles even though I rotated them every 6k miles. I just had Defender T+H installed under warranty. I live in central IL and the wet/snow traction is night and day different. Now I can have some confidence when driving in snow again. The original Defender was terrible. We'll see how the tires wear in the coming years.

I purchase this tire shortly after I bought my used Saturn Vue. I had BF GOODRICH tires that delivered very poor wet traction. I hated doing it and resisted because the BFG's had only about 6000 miles wear on them. I did not expect the amount of difference these new tires made both wet traction and snow/ice. BFG's are a good grade tires but Michelin Defender T/H is exceptional for the money.

I purchased four (4) Defender T + H tires at my Mercury dealership in June 2018. These A-S tires have a 6 year factory warranty with 80,000 mile treadwear guarantee providing your rotate and balance tires every 6,000 miles. Since Michelin developed the radial tires with a high standard of quality, I will only purchase Michelin brand tires for all my vehicles. The ride quality is smooth, braking is excellent, and wearability of tires is also excellent. Keep up the great work Michelin.

Initial experience with these tires is actually good - They were quiet and also had decent grip on wet pavements (Seattle). But, they wear out rather quickly - less than 35K and they are already ready to be replaced. And they get really, very noisy after about 2 years of use.

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.

I bought Michelin Defenders almost 5 years ago. Just bought my 2nd set today. My first ones took me 90k miles. No question they are worth the money. I wish I had bought them years ago. They would have saved me so much money in the end. They last and they are a smooth ride. I plan to keep my car another 5 years so these are perfect and will carry me to retirement. Thank you Michelin for making a GREAT tire!!!

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.

My wifes 2000 XJ8 drives like a dream. I also just put a st of LTX MS on my 99 "Suburban. This is the 5th set I have put on this truck. I also just put a set of Michelin Pilot Road 5's on my BMW motorcycle. You may notice a trend here. The tires are wonderful and they have never let me down.

These are on my 2012 Civic they have 70k miles now and are still quiet and smooth i'm at 7/32 on 3 and 1 is 6/32 i still have a few miles to go. 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.

Going to get my second set of Defenders TH today. Loved the first set that have about 75K miles on them. Winter is coming and would rather change tires early since I ski and drive on snowy roads. These performed well and I am very satisfied with the tread life.
