Got only 41k miles, not close to warranty

Purchased 4 Defender tires 10/13/2012 for Toyota Seinna LE van which had 28763 miles on odometer. Tires have been rotated every oil change. The last oil change, 03/2017 at 69,517 mile on odometer, tread wear measurments on all 4 tires indicate replacement depth. Driving habits are less than average. Tires were good but not the tread wear. Won't replace them with Michelin tires this time.

So Loud

Very disappointed with these tires. I'm used to driving with winter tires which are normally somewhat noisy. I had the defender tires installed for the summer and I cannot hear the radio now. Everyone that rides in my car comments and asks what is that noise. Checking out other reviews and noticed others also commenting about the noise, but it does not seem to be a common theme. Not sure what is the problem with the set of Michelin's I have.

Well worth the money

Been 3000 miles now on Defender LTX 265/70/17 for my 2013 Tahoe LT and I love these tires! In the first 500 miles had two 6+" snows and I could not believe how great they handle the snow. Was like driving on dry pavement. No slip, slide or anything. And these tires are so quiet on the interstate.

Just Purchased

I just purchased four new Defenders to replace the Primacy that I had on my Lexus LS430. The Defenders look great and really nice smooth quiet ride those far.

GREAT Tires!

I have over 80,000 miles on these tires and still 1/4" of tread! The only reason I'm replacing now is I have a little dry rot on the sidewalls! And YES I'm buying the same tires! 5 stars from me!

Not a good choice

Traction on wet and snowy roads is average at best, however with 34,000 miles on the set of defenders I have, they are in need of replacing, well short of the 90,000 mile warranty. Very disappointed in these tires.

Defender Green X SL

Had these tires for 3 weeks, great in snow and rain, great hold on the road, I live in Ohio and our winters can get treacherous, So far this winter we had normal snow and heavy rain, these tires hold the road

Good

I bought Michelin winter tyres for 2019 winter. Review for the last one(2012). It’s used 7 winters in normal conditions and Waterloo Honda done all tyre balancing and alignment up to date and done only 75090 km. 145000km is a miracle.

Good but won't last 90,000 miles

Good tire with smooth ride and no traction issues. After three years and 35,000 miles, tread is noticeably worn. They will probably last five years which is more than most tires, but they won't make 90,000 miles.
