Good tires

I like my new tires, but one of them is leaking, belle tire service can’t find cause, they sealed but few days since then I still notice less PSI than in other 3 tires.

Great Tire

I had 4 Defender XL with 20k miles. Great tire, however I had road hazard on 2. Because I have AWD all 4 needed to be replaced. Since I had the Defender tires before I stayed with the Defenders

Dependable Michelin

My Honda HR-V used to come from the factory with Michelin Tires. Now, they come with Hankook Tires. With less than 20,000 miles I had two tire malfunctions. I purchased my Michelin tires and now feel secure on the road. The rebates were a plus.

Good ride. Surprisingly my gas mileage went down 2 miles per gallon from the Michelin Privacy tires I had on from the factory. My vehicle is a 2022 Ford Maverick hybrid.

Best tire and long lasting.

The durability of the is everything I expected. Grip going around corners have no slip. Stability at high speeds are great. Traction is great on slippery and snowy roads in Michigan. Long last wear is what I wanted in a tire.

Quieter than factory

These tires are so much quieter than our original tires, after around 1500 miles on them the handling was as good if not better than the original Continentals that came on the vehicle

I researched tires for my 2024 Honda CRV Hybrid and the Defender 2 was highly rated. I have put 8,000 miles on them and have not been disappointed. They are quiet and give my Honda a great ride.

Maybe I am missing something

Not sure where the outstanding ride quality reviews come from. Placed these on a Kia Telluride and the ride quality is noticeably rougher. The vehicle always appears to sway back and forth and you feel every bump.

Long life tires

I had these on my 1998 Grand Marquis, and my 2006 Buick Lucerne, best tires ever. Now I am getting ready to purchase them for my 2023 GMC Acadia. There is not a better tire made in my opinion than Michelan

Can't do better than Michelin tires

These are true all-weather tires. Excellent traction for their first winter driving on ice and snow. If they live up to their expected life--80k miles, they'll be a great value
