Horrible Ride

I had my Michelin Premier Tires replaced at a dealership as they told me they were leaking from the bead. I was appalled as they were only 4 years old with few miles. They were replaced by Michelin Defenders. The ride is absolutely horrible. The car shakes and jolts me over every little bump and crevice in the road. I had them checked after 5 weeks and they stated that everything looked good for the year and state of the car. The suspension also looks good, so I do not understand the horrible ride. My vehicle has always been well maintained and I always have had routine maintenance done.

Excellent Riding Tires

I bought these to replace the OEM Firestones that lasted 40,000 miles. The ride is much improved and road noise greatly reduced. My wife and I very much appreciate the way it grips both wet and dry surfaces. I have always been a Michelin fan (Continental & Perrelli). Highly recommend this product.

Excellent Ride quality and Excellent in Wet Weather

I put these tires on my 1999 Chrysler 300M as a replacement for Michelin Defender LTX M+S, (Which I loved and still use on other vehicles) and have been incredibly happy! The road noise is all but non-existent, and the performance in wet weather is phenomenal. I will only use Michelin tires on this car! Worth every penny!

Safe anywhere and oh so smooth!

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.

excellent drivability but won't hold air

Have had these tires for two months. Had to inflate 2 lbs over to ride well. Loved them except they won't hold air pressure. Would lose 3-5 lbs every two weeks in all weather conditions. If I put 34 lbs in each all would be 29 in a couple weeks. All four tires had this issue so it isn't a wheel problem. Strangest thing Ive experienced with any tires. Dealer is replacing them next week with another Michelin tire.

Reliable

I put these on my Corolla in late April. I did a little bit of muddy roads and a lot of long distance highway driving. I don't have years of experience driving, or with this car, to truly be able to compare differences. I felt like I had control at all times. I'm a fairly smooth driver, but I do have one tight ramp locally that forces hard braking and not once did I ever feel like I was losing traction.

Good and bad

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.

Smooth and quiet!

Bought these in April of this year to replace the original Continental Contacts that came with my new 2016 Honda CR-V. Was going to buy Toyos that I had on my 2008 CR-V, which I liked as they were quiet and smooth, but my go to tire shop person highly recommended that I would like the Defender better. So I gave them a try and he was right! They are actually smoother and quieter to the point that at times I have to look at the speedometer to make sure I'm within the speed limit. As one who looks for value and performance, I would recommend these tires! Honda cr-v

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.
