So quiet!

I replaced the original tires on my Honda CRV with Michelins. Cannot be happier. My dealer had a sale price on the set , plus I got an eighty dollar rebate! The old tires were loud on all surfaces. The Michelins are quiet and ride so much better. Plus I expect double the tire wear.

new rubber for the Q50!

I've only had the tires a couple of weeks, but from what I have experienced so far, I am pleased with their performance, Stopping distance and cornering are admirable, and they look good on my Infiniti. Here's hoping they continue to please.

The Best Tires

I installed a set of four on my 2006 Mercury Montego Premier and the handling, smooth ride and i have notice increased gas mileage. I been using Michelin's on my cars for over 35 years and will not put another brand tire of my cars. They have never failed and have given my excellent mileage wear, I usually have to change tires because they are to old and have become hard.

Outstanding Performance

I would not drive my car without Michelin Tires (and I have two Cars) since I purchased the car new in 2006. I have all ways purchased the best tire they make for my cars and have had nothing but the best ride and performance I could get from tires. Never had a tire that was defective and I have outstanding mileage performance from the Michelin Brand.

Great Ride

I’m a retired Red Seal Mechanic and I have never in my 45 years of experience had any issues with Michelin Tires. Most notably thing about installing and balancing Michelin tires is how well they fit along with minimal weights required to balance Michelin tires. Needless to say if you require 1oz or more in weight to balance a Michelin tire, then check your Rim! Michelin tires are also one of the quietest tires on the road, as well as superb performance! We have a saying in the mechanic world around these parts! Once you drive with Michelin Tires on your vehicle, you will not want to drive on anything else!

Road noise and cold tire violating

The Defender LTX M/S 2 is a good tire,not a great tire. They are a noisy tire. They are not much less quiet than a AT tire. This new design is not as quiet as the lower design. When cold they vibrate alot. I'm not very impressed with them. I think Michelin needs the rethink the design for road noise.

Great tires

This is my 3nd set of Michelin defender tires. They have all been excellent and gave me great tread life. The Defender 2 I just purchased are quiet and they handle great, much better than the tires that came with the car when they were new. I'm very pleased and I'm confident I will get the same milage from these as with past Michelin tires

Best Tires the Defender 2

I was using the earlier Defender tires then got the Defender 2 tires. These tires are fantastic. Have used them in summer with heavy rains also now during winter with heavy snow and freezing rain. They have stopped without any noise and even on recent bad weather. Thank you Michelin.

Smooth and safe

Have Acura MDX. 150,000 km on set of Michelin defenders. They are still in excellent condition, many km's left. Excellent traction, smooth and quiet. Trust these for your family. Work well in snow, my wife has cross climate on her car which are slightly better in deep snow. But not as quiet or smooth. Take your pick.

Michelin Keeps It's Promises

Now experiencing a renewed feeling of being connected to the road due to the responsive Defender 2 design. Whether on hot Florida pavement or downpour drenched roadways, movement is nimble while braking is smooth and confident. And, quiet, a noticeable difference over even the replaced premium brand. Michelin research and development continues to miraculously improve over the original Defender. With proper maintenance tread life will hopefully be achieved as well. And was it mentioned that these tires are quiet!
