I replaced a set of Road Hugger tires with a set of 4 Defender T+H Michelins on my 2000 Celica yesterday because in only 15K miles, the RH's developed a very loud, resonating tread noise at highway speeds. I was very impressed with the quiet, smooth ride and precise handling I instantly saw from the Michelins. Looking forward to many years of enjoyment from my new tires! As a former test driver at Michelin's Laurens Proving Gounds, I'm sure they will live up to my expectations!

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.

Put a set of the Defenders on my 2016 Chevy Impala Limited LT. The day we left for vacation is was pouring rain and the day we left to come back it was poring rain with flash flooding. I could not have ask for a better tire on the wet services. Highways traveled were Black top and concrete on interstates. Handling and ride were both great. Short of Excellent is that I have not driven in snow now lets see how far they will go on wear. purchased them April of 2017

We've had these for 20,000 miles, and the loss of tread is surprising, sort of amazing. No longer suitable for next winter when it snows 2 inches. Otherwise, a good all-round tire. Great gas mileage, good handling, not too noisy, stops well. Would like the same tire, but getting 40,000 miles out of them for all four seasons.

I had the same tires for over 10 years and were fantastic,so when I decided to get new ones I chose the same ones. Not sure if the tires are faulty or they were installed incorrectly but they are WAY OUT OF BALANCE..I went back and had them rebalance them ( after some convincing) and there are still bad..I don’t really want to return to the same shop but don’t know what to do.

I am putting my second set of these tires on my car and have had a set of other Michelins in the past as well. They did last to the mileage mentioned so I would assume those poor comments may be due to lack of care on the owners part. I always rotate at my 8,000 km maintenance at the garage if needed and I always do alignments and keep air pressure correct as needed. Just like any part, proper care is needed. I drive 40-50,000 km/year, These tires are a little louder but stop great in bad rain or snow, even on my old car that had standard brakes. I highly recommend these

I bought my Michelin Defender T + H in April 2023. Not only did I get a 70 $ rebate, I enjoyed a great ride with my new tires. They takes the corners well and they are not noisy like most tires are. Definitely a good value for my money. I will continue to buy Michelin from my mechanic's shop.

While I've only had these tires for four days, I've had the opportunity to drive on them in a variety of environments - dry, wet, slush, snow, ice, highway and streets - and have been thoroughly impressed with all aspects of this tire. It's quiet, rides smooth, and handles the road well. Excellent wet traction and handled the snow admirably. Obviously I can't speak to the longevity of these tires yet, but given my previous experiences with Michelin tires I fully expect them to hold up well in the long run.

I purchased these tires after 70K miles on my previous Michelins. I run them on a VW Golf TDI @ 45 PSI, and they've continued my 50+ MPG streak, all while providing a quiet and comforting ride. I've put 16K miles on them in 8 months, so I can say my overall impressions are well-earned.

I have owned three sets of Michelin Defenders, and I absolutely feel they are THE BEST tire available today. Not only do they last long, ride great, handle great, and are extremely quiet, they are superb in bad weather. They stick to the road like glue. I feel confident with these tires. I feel confident in Michelin quality, too. Never a problem with them. I do not work for Michelin or have any affiliation with them at all. I am simply a regular consumer that has had a great deal of experience with these tires and put thousands of miles on three different sets of Defenders. I have tried all the different tire brands, and honestly have to say they are the best tire out there today, no questions asked.
