Put these on 2012 Mazda 3. Being a small and light weight car it always had wet surface grip problems. Michelins T+H prevented me from killing a person that randomly drove a bicycle across the street during a late night rain storm. I was able to stop really quick without sliding or even getting ABS engaged. All on wet pavement. Grateful for these tires. With my previous tires he or she would have been hit and thrown 10-15 feet forward

These tires are awesome! The ride is fantastic- smooth and quiet. I read the reviews of many tires and the Defender T&H had the least complaints and most praises. I see one commenter saying their gas mileage dropped with their hybrid. I had the exact opposite happen. My mileage increased by 4 miles per gallon. Maybe the installers under inflated their tires or whatever.

I have also had Michelin X-ICE tires and based on their performance and ratings of Defender T + H, I wanted to try this tire. I have had them just over a month but I am happy with their performance (quiet, nice ride). I am expecting they will be the best of four types of all season tires I have used in the last 12 years.

Before I used MICHELIN® Defender 2016 which provided excellent and accurate braking performance, but the new model MICHELIN® Defender 2018 is horrible. After purchasing my new car with MICHELIN® Defender made 2018, I drove on the highway in winter about the speed of 70km, The slippy situation on tires happened Out of Control, and brought me extremely danger. With luck I turned the handling wheel and fully stop on the other lane and my car was in opposite direction with 2~3 meters toward the side of the guard bar of Hwy. It brought me very terrible experience, would be the Last time of installing MICHELIN® tire. Not recommended.

Bought this defender for my civic last winter. Despite it’s not a winter tire but still got a very good traction when driving on the snow. Excellent handling when driving in the raining day. I would buy another set next time when I looking for a new tire

I absolutely love the performance and handling of this tire. That being said, it is too firm and does not absorb road bumbs/vibrations very well. This is very close to being the perfect tire, but Michelin really needs to tone down the firmness slightly, and improve the vibration control. I cannot comment on their longetivity as they are still fairly new.

I bought this tires in July 2022 for my wife's daily driver. What a difference in the ride quality. The way the car feels on the road is totally different considering, I was replacing some generic Import brands that were super cheap!. You pay what you got. We are not dissaointed with this Defenders from Michelin. Its totally worth it, and definietly I will recommend this brand to anyone.

I've had these tires on my car for two years now, including winter. I love these tires. Never had any problem with them and they seem to hold the road good in all weather. This is the second set of these I have purchased, as I had them on my last car as well. Still have lots of tread left. I am buying Michelin winter tires this year for added protection. Michelin are the only tires for me!

I bought these tires for my wife's Honda CRV because Hurricane Harvey was coming and I was concerned with her driving in the wet weather due to large amounts of water on the roadway. It was amazing at how well these tires handled. We didn't notice any hydroplaning and no sliding when braking. I even tested the tried braking hard and accelerating hard to test them out with impressive results.

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.
