Consistently solid performance.

I've always appreciated the durability, performance, and comfortable ride that Michelin tires provide…certainly not my first purchase and definitely won't be my last!

Not meeting warranty TWICE

I have been disappointed twice now with these tires on my Subaru Forester. Twice they have not reached their supposed warranty of 80,000. They didn't make it to 50,000 before they needed to be replaced.

I needed new tires for my 2012 Toyota Venza and my mechanic gave me 3 options but I have always used Michelin so I told him to put new Michelins on my car. I know that they are great tires and I trust them

Defender 2...the best!

The Defender 2 tires on my 2016 RAV4 are the perfect mat h for me. Excellent blend of performance, long wear and comfort for my hybrid. Very happy with these tires.

Good tires in rain or sun

We got a set of 4 new tires about a month ago and took a 1,800 mile trip on them a week ago. They ride smooth and hold the road well in rain and normal weather.

Best overall.

I like Michelin tires to be honest. They cost a little more but seem to last longer. I have never done a TCO calculation but ai would guess the average cost per year is similar to cheaper tires and they come with better quality and performance.

Not as described. Dissapointed

Tires are noisy. They do not grip well in wet conditions. Was debating between the Michelins and Contenentals LX 25's. Have the Contenentals on 2 other vehicles and they are a much better tire. Wish I wouldn't have purchased these tires

Quiet Smooth Ride

I have previously used Defender tires on a light truck. Now, I have purchased Defender2 for my Toyota Avalon. Very Quiet Smooth ride! Feels like I am driving a new vehicle.
