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!

No question about the quality of the tire, but the 80K rating (something which was admittedly a key factor in my decision to buy) meant THE hardest tread compound of any tire I've ever purchased. The result was THE noisiest, roughest ride on a car (2012 Outback) which wasn't the smoothest or quietest riding to begin with. But for those whom maximum mileage is your #1 goal beyond all else, then this should be among your first choices.

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.

I purchased a set of 4 of these for my RDX and was initially happy with them. I have 10K mostly highway miles on them now, and have become increasingly disappointed with the road noise and especially hard ride. i.e. over separations in the road, bridges and speed bumps.

Bought these today for my Subaru Forester. My old tires were at their end of life. I only drove from dealer home but the difference is amazing. Obviously fit is important. My husband had tires from this dealer previously and said they were excellent. So we will see how they wear. Road noise is gone. These tires were recommended by dealer

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.

I bought a set of these about a month ago because I needed to replace my tires. The car I was replacing tires on is a 2013 Ford C-Max and we primarily use it as our daily driver. I told the counter guy I was looking for long life and primarily a quiet ride as this small car had a lot of road noise. Wow, what a difference! These tires are really quiet and I'm hoping to get the same kind of mileage that I'm getting on my original equipment Michelin shod Ford F150

Have been driving with Michelin tires for over thirty years. They have taken us safely through ice and snow on our yearly drive of 1800 miles from Edmonton Alberta to Phoenix Arizona. Now a widow, not driving much but got new Michelin tires last fall and love them.

I bought a Toyota Solara and put new tires on it right away. Instantly car was quiet. The real surprise was the first snowfall when I did not need to slow down for slush. The car handled great and has not disappointed me now for 80,000 miles. I am shopping for a new set to continue my journey.

I have used these same tires on my 2009 Ford Escape and with regular rotation I got 89,000 + mile on the before I traded the ar. I have installed the new version T+H on my 2014 Escape and am looking forward to not ever having to change them! Great all weather performance on dry, wet and snowy roads. Quite quiet for a trie with a deeper then normal tread.
