Going to get my second set of Defenders TH today. Loved the first set that have about 75K miles on them. Winter is coming and would rather change tires early since I ski and drive on snowy roads. These performed well and I am very satisfied with the tread life.

These new Defender H+T tires are great! I put 12,500 miles on them and it doesn't even look like any tread is worn. These are definitely going to last way longer than the 1st generation Defenders. The noise level is minimal and the handling is reassuring at higher speeds. I do believe that these tires will fill my expectations!

This is my second set of Defenders on two different vehicles and I also own a set of X-Ice Snow used on a front wheel drive Japanese sedan. Michelin's renowned quality is far from overrated. The Defenders T+ H delivers an amazing stable smooth and silent ride. Didn't gave 5 stars because there are better Michelin products for handling heavy puddling rain conditions at high speed. Not a problem for a seasoned driver but I wouldn't let my old father exceed 60 mph in a rainstorm on crappy Quebec roads.

I bought these tires because of the safety rating and the ability to stop on wet roads. The amazing ride that these tires provide is 100% pure bonus. So my Michelin tires make me feel like I'm in a luxury car but most important they give me Peace of Mind!

These are on my 2012 Civic they have 70k miles now and are still quiet and smooth i'm at 7/32 on 3 and 1 is 6/32 i still have a few miles to go. I put a lot of miles on my civic these have been great in florida rain. I've never had a tire this good and i drive a lot. It is the t+h defender. Go buy a set.

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.

Bought four Defender T+H tires for our 2006 Honda Odyssey LX which we drive in the Midwest. The tires have very good grip in normal, dry, paved-road conditions and are very quiet. The ride has been silky smooth at all speeds. We haven't had a chance to drive with the tires in rain or snow yet. We are very happy with their performance and would purchase them again, or for another vehicle. We first found out about the Defender Tire from Consumer Reports magazine's reviews. Michelin made them affordable with their 70 dollar rebate which you can fill out online. When comparison shopping, always ask for the "out-the-door price".

I purchased set of 4 Defender T+H for my 2014 Subaru Forester in May 2018. The traction in snow was good this past winter. BUT, they are the Loudest tires I have ever used. I carpool with 3 other people and they all say they think the tires are very noisy. The noise is loud, then very loud as speed increases, especially when going over 35mph. They seem to be getting louder as I put more miles on the car. I only have 7000 miles on them. I hope the store that installed them will give me some credit towards installing new, quieter tires. I keep detailed mileage records. These Defender T&H tires are getting 7% worse mileage (comparing same month to same month) than the OEM Bridgestone tires that came when my Forester was new.

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.

I bought Michelin Defenders almost 5 years ago. Just bought my 2nd set today. My first ones took me 90k miles. No question they are worth the money. I wish I had bought them years ago. They would have saved me so much money in the end. They last and they are a smooth ride. I plan to keep my car another 5 years so these are perfect and will carry me to retirement. Thank you Michelin for making a GREAT tire!!!
