Good tires but extremely noisy!!!

I bought these for my 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan and absolutely hate them!!! Got them around Thanksgiving and noticed that they were very loud and my MPG was not as high as with my previous tires. I tried to have them exchanged at the place I purchased them, but they would not honor the guarantee. Now that it is summer, and it's much hotter, the tires are even louder! If I had a disposable income I would change these out, but given the price of the tires, that is not possible. While the tread is great for all conditions, please note that you will hear an increase in road noise.

Could feel the difference from the start

I have been using the Primacy for 14 years or more. I like Michelin tires and have been buying them for 20 plus years. I didn't like that the dealer only offered me the Primacy so I bought the Defender TH online and had them delivered to the dealer. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, I could feel the difference. The car felt surefooted and the handling was incredibly smooth and quick. The real test will be this winter and how long they hold up. I usually change my tires every 50,000 miles. I'd like to be able to keep them longer.

Extremely Disappointed

I purchased Michelin T + H Tires 3-1/2 years ago with a 6-year, 80,000 mile warranty. with just over 30,000 miles. Tires no longer grip on damp roads spinning on acceleration from a dead stop. Dealer tells me I can replace with a prorated offer. I typically get 6 years with 60,000+ miles with a cheaper brand tire driving in harsh weather conditions.

MareBear, the limited mileage warranty should allow you credit toward a set of replacement tires. The amount of credit is based on the mileage received. Sounds like your retailer is handling this based on the warranty.

Good reliable tire

I original purchased this tire for a 2008 Corolla, no traction control or anti lock brakes, and found that winter traction was surprisingly good for an all season tire. I had approximately 50 000 kms on the tires when the car was written off January 2019, (I stopped but the guy behind me did not). The tires were wearing evenly and still looked new. I currently have the Michelin T & H tires on my Mazda CX-5 and could not be happier. They perform even better with skid control and antilock brakes. I have 7000 mms on them now and I look forward to many more years of trouble free service.

T&H are the way to go!

I was told the T&H was better than the new 2's. So I was glad my local tire dealer still had sets of the older Defenders. Car is now extremely quiet and smooth compared to the set of Difinity tires our car came with. The old tires still had plenty of tread with only 20k of use, but were dangerously squirrelly in the wet. These Michelins are awesome in the wet!

reliable tires

I've been buying tires from Michelin for more than 30 years, in my business and on my personal cars and trucks. It's nice not to have to research a tire or wonder if it will hold up. they're always good long lasting tires. made in North America too so you know they care.

how they handle

I bought these in Sept. 2022 and love the way these handle and a better ride. I am still waiting for my reward card. I have not heard from anyone except to let me know my submission was entered. Can you please contact me and let me know when my reward will be coming.

Excellent tires

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.

The best tires you can buy for light SUV

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.

Let's see this 80,000 starting now!

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.
