Better Ride than a top competitor!

I had Bridgestone tires on my Honda CR-V, they wore quickly, got bumpy and the ride was terrible! I've had the new Michelin Defender T&H tires on now for several months, have rotated twice since installing them and they are still looking like new and show no signs of wear. The ride is smooth!

Exquisite, luxuriously smooth ride!

I just spoiled myself with four brand new Michelin Defender T+H's today. The drive from the tire shop back to my place was so smooth and rich - like German Chocolate cake - that I had to drink a glass of milk when I got home. Getting brand new Michelins is a hell of an ego boost for me. If you ain't first, you're last, and the only way to be first is to buy Michelin tires.

Best winter tires ever!

I bought brand new winter tires in December. This was the first time I had ever purchased winter tires, but after ten years of driving, I understood it was time to lower the risks of accidents and thought I'd invest in new tires now so that I can save in the long run. Plus, I wasn't really saving when wearing out my all-season every year, so it made more sense to me (finally) to alternate between the two types of tires. The drive in the winter was completely different after installing my winter tires. I can feel the way the tires hugged the snow and gently stopped when I applied the breaks! This was especially important for me since I drive often between Toronto and Montreal where road conditions can be unpredictable in the winter time. I love my Michelin tires!

Quiet & Efficient Tires!

I purchased these tires after 70K miles on my previous Michelins. I run them on a VW Golf TDI @ 45 PSI, and they've continued my 50+ MPG streak, all while providing a quiet and comforting ride. I've put 16K miles on them in 8 months, so I can say my overall impressions are well-earned.

Not the same as the Defender

I had the Defender tire and after 40000 mi I replaced them with the Defender t+h. the handling at speed is not the same. My car is not as stable as it was before. The best way to describe it is that the car floats. When changing lanes or just going down the freeway. The car does not feel stable as it wants to follow road groves and the back end sways when I change lanes. It's as if the side wall is not the same. I have 205 r 55 16 s on the car and it's as if I have 205 r 65 16 on the car. As for the rest of the tire I cannot tell you as I have only put 800 mi on a road trip and did not have to drive in rain or have a panicked stop. But I will be replacing the tires. This issue is not on jut my car my sister has them on her car at the same time as me in a different state. Same thing for her.

These tires are junk

I bought these 4 years ago because I really didn't have a choice in the matter. I was put at ease by the 80,000 mile and 6 year warranty. First thing I notice was a notable decrease in the range of my Leaf. I learned to deal with that. It never got better. The tire noise was on par with all the other tires I have had on the car and same for the ride. Fast forward today and I find out that after only 30,000 miles or only 37.5% of the expected mileage I am told that I need to replace my front 2 tires because they have no tread left. Only driving I do with this car is too and from work. Not even the interstate. Average of 35 mph. To be fair I never really expected 80,000 miles but, I did expect at least 60,000.

What great tires!

I bought a set of four Defenders for my 1996 Toyota Avalon five years ago and now have 70,000 miles on them. They still look young and have between 5/32-6/32nds of remaining tread. They ride well, handle well, and will easily go the 80,000 miles as advertised.

Perfect for my Mercedes W124

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.

Great set of tires.

Replaced the now-discontinued Dunlop Champiro tires I had previously with 28,000 miles on them. The initial 10,000 miles sound like all-terrain tires as they are rated at 80,000 miles. Currently have 19,000 miles on them and they are holding up well. Even drove over a nail that hold up until I noticed it on the sidewall. That's how tough is it when driving 70 mph on the highway. Replaced the affected tire with the same brand as the other three.

Michelin Defender T + H
5 out of 5 stars review

Great value for your money

I bought my Michelin Defender T + H in April 2023. Not only did I get a 70 $ rebate, I enjoyed a great ride with my new tires. They takes the corners well and they are not noisy like most tires are. Definitely a good value for my money. I will continue to buy Michelin from my mechanic's shop.
