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.

This is my second set of Defenders on two different vehicles and I also own a set of X-Ice Snow used on a front wheel drive Japanese sedan. Michelin's renowned quality is far from overrated. The Defenders T+ H delivers an amazing stable smooth and silent ride. Didn't gave 5 stars because there are better Michelin products for handling heavy puddling rain conditions at high speed. Not a problem for a seasoned driver but I wouldn't let my old father exceed 60 mph in a rainstorm on crappy Quebec roads.

Had these tires for 10 months and they cannot hold the road at highway speeds. This is very noticeable on curves when driving over 80 km/h and also when braking at high speeds! There could be technical or design reasons but I think this is a lower quality tire than the previous two sets of Michelin tires I used. I ended up with the Defender T+H because the Michelin Pilot MXM4 was retired and the Defender supposedly replaced it. Sadly, it didn't measure up.

Due to Covid the miles I am driving are severely reduced but I just did 800 Miles on a run from Chester PA to Boston and back in 2 days. I had a set of four fitted to my 2013 Volvo XC60 and chose to pay more than the Goodyear which was my second choice. Michelens ruin quiet, give excellent traction in both rain and snow.

I just purchase these tires and will keep an update ongoing. So far, don't hear the noise as other owners mentioned. Feels like they are absorbing unmanaged roads better than the stock Firestones on 2019 Hybrid Camrys, which only get 25k - 30k miles.

Have been driving with Michelin tires for over thirty years. They have taken us safely through ice and snow on our yearly drive of 1800 miles from Edmonton Alberta to Phoenix Arizona. Now a widow, not driving much but got new Michelin tires last fall and love them.

I have also had Michelin X-ICE tires and based on their performance and ratings of Defender T + H, I wanted to try this tire. I have had them just over a month but I am happy with their performance (quiet, nice ride). I am expecting they will be the best of four types of all season tires I have used in the last 12 years.

I have owned multiple vehicles with various brands of tires, but never Michelin. Finally purchased a set last week. The difference in handling, grip, comfort and noise level is off the charts. I absolutely cannot believe what a difference they make! If I could give more than 5 stars, I most definitely would.

I purchased my first set of Michelin Defenders for a full size van and I have to say these were the very best tires I've ever bought. After 5 seasons of summer use, there was still a lot of thread left. In my opinion, there is no other tire out there that lasts as long as these. This is an excellent product and I will never buy another brand of tire but Michelin.

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.
