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.

Bought in Jan 2022 for Chrysler mini-van. Have driven 75,000 (mostly highway) miles on them. Happy with them. Drive smoothly and good in rain. Don’t know if I would say excellent in the rain, but definitely would give them a good. I think noise is average for this vehicle. Have had several versions of Michelin Defender tires on multiple mini-vans.

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.

I believe this is the best tire.

Tires are only one week old but the car performs better, handling and ride are great,

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.

The worst. Purchased the 225/65R17 for my Honda CRV on 04/18/2022 with 134,223 miles on it and only 27,530 later at 161,753 miles they are worn. This is just back and forth to work here in Southern California and I have always had them dealer rotated and I am a stickler of keeping the correct cold tire pressure suggested by Honda at 30psi ( And I always check as cold pressure which the vehicle has not been in operation for several hours not at a gas station when vehicle has been driving which most people have no clue that’s not when you check your tire pressure). I have routine alignment checks etc. etc. The tires are not worn unevenly from any alignment issues at all. The tread is just evenly worn down and these are supposed to be 80,000 mile rated? Give me a break! Not even close and I should have just spent my money on cheaper tires and I would have gotten the same mileage from them.
