I love these tires. We have been using them on both of our cars for years. When the OEM tires that came on the vehicle originally needed replaced, I switched to Michellin. I don't remember if the model was the defenders way back then, but we definitely used Michellin and at some point got the Defender and have been using them on my vehicles ever since.

This year I finally bought my first set of four new tires (previously i had been buying them two at a time). I chose the middle-of-the-road type tires. But they did not ride very softly/smoothly at all, every little crack/bump in the road it felt like my car was hitting bottom. Not great for my back pain. Had my shocks checked just in case and they were fine. So I returned them to the place of purchase and got my Michelin tires. Driving away with them for the first time I immediately felt a huge difference and am enjoying my ride in comfort.

These tire provide a smooth quiet ride with excellent handling. My gas mileage appears unchanged from the factory tires I replaced. I've only driven on dry roads since getting them, but don't expect any issues with rain or snow.

Outstanding Tires! This is my second set of these excellent tires. They are smooth, well-constructed and problem free. They are quiet on the road and make me feel safe that I have the best tires money can buy on my Honda Accord.

These are by far the best tires, definitely worth the price. They are quiet and great in the rain, exactly what I was looking for.

We've been riding on our new tires (all four) since August 2021. We have taken long highways trips and have climbed the mountains of the Western Catskills in New York. I never felt safer. The ride was so smooth that if my eyes were closed, I wouldn't know if I were on the highway or the dirt mountain road.

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.

Very nice tires, smooth, quiet, safe. They do have a little road nibble on grooved concrete highway surfaces that my truck Defender tires do not have. Tried the Pirelli tires once and they were so bad with nibble I traded them back in under the satisfaction guarantee.

Put a set of the Defenders on my 2016 Chevy Impala Limited LT. The day we left for vacation is was pouring rain and the day we left to come back it was poring rain with flash flooding. I could not have ask for a better tire on the wet services. Highways traveled were Black top and concrete on interstates. Handling and ride were both great. Short of Excellent is that I have not driven in snow now lets see how far they will go on wear. purchased them April of 2017
