Will buy again!

Bought these just before the start of 2019 have over 40,000 miles on them. They are still looking good and are great in the snow and rain. Will buy them again.

Great feel

I bought these tires for the handling and tread wear life. While they are not as quiet as they are rated, the handling is superior and it seems I am getting better gas mileage. Pretty happy overall with this purchase!

Only lasted 32,000 miles

Purchased these tires July 2017. Went to have them rotated March 2019, & there's not enough tread left to rotate them. I only have 32k miles on them. Absolutely should not be marketed as 80k mile tires!

Great to be riding with Bib

Haven't had Michelins for years but must say I am extremely happy with the ride and performance regarding the tires I purchased for my Grand Caravan. This could lead to a long term relationship. Roll on!

Very nice tires for my hybrid malibu.

I bought these little over a month ago, I drive all highway miles and already have put 10000 miles on them. At first I thought my car felt loose in them but that was because my old tires were so bad. These tires ride very nice, very quite even though my car sits 7 inches off the ground. Wet road handling is great and they are designed to last many many miles ahead. Very happy with my purchase.

New Model of MICHELIN® Defender is Not Reliable.

Before I used MICHELIN® Defender 2016 which provided excellent and accurate braking performance, but the new model MICHELIN® Defender 2018 is horrible. After purchasing my new car with MICHELIN® Defender made 2018, I drove on the highway in winter about the speed of 70km, The slippy situation on tires happened Out of Control, and brought me extremely danger. With luck I turned the handling wheel and fully stop on the other lane and my car was in opposite direction with 2~3 meters toward the side of the guard bar of Hwy. It brought me very terrible experience, would be the Last time of installing MICHELIN® tire. Not recommended.

Excellent Riding Tires

I bought these to replace the OEM Firestones that lasted 40,000 miles. The ride is much improved and road noise greatly reduced. My wife and I very much appreciate the way it grips both wet and dry surfaces. I have always been a Michelin fan (Continental & Perrelli). Highly recommend this product.

Reliable

I put these on my Corolla in late April. I did a little bit of muddy roads and a lot of long distance highway driving. I don't have years of experience driving, or with this car, to truly be able to compare differences. I felt like I had control at all times. I'm a fairly smooth driver, but I do have one tight ramp locally that forces hard braking and not once did I ever feel like I was losing traction.

Quiet, Ride Well, but Tread Depth Lost Quickly

I bought four for my 1997 Toyota Camry four years ago. After 22,000 miles. tire shop told me the interior walls were disintegrating, exposing steel cords, and would not let me drive away with the tire because of liability fears if tire collapsed/exploded. Also, tread was down to 4/32 (should be 7/32 to 9/32 after 22,000 miles), and inner and outer surfaces of tire were without tread. Both front tires were in this state. Not what I expected with a 90,000 -miles-warranty tire. Always keep tires inflated 32-35 psi. Tire shop thought these results were due to manufacturing defect. I see tires were made in Mexico. Purchased them in July 2016. Warranty offer was for 49% coverage, but Defender is no longer available in 14" diameter, so only warranty option was an inferior Uni-Royal tire, a company owned by Michelin. Pretty disappointing. Looking for non-Michelin alternatives for two front tires, maybe General Altimax RT 43, recommended by Consumer Reports.

Outstanding grip, quiet, smooth and comfortable ride!

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.
