Ultimate ride quality

I have purchased 3 sets Defenders over the past year for my wife’s car and my daughter’s and mine. Had Uniroyal prior and the Michelins are far superior. Ride quality cannot be better or matched. Love these tires!

I LOVE MY NEW TIRES

I had a nail in my tire close to sidewall. old tires were not great, so I splurged on a new set. What a nice improvement with less noise, smooth ride and my mileage is already improving.

Good performance

I bought these tires a year ago and just had them put back on after having winter tires on since last November. I am really satisfied with the performance of these tires in the summer.

Bought the Defender 2 for my 2018 Escape. Excellent tire. Much nicer ride and better control than the factory supplied Continental tires. Love these tires and the ride, nice a quiet too. Well worth the money.

Great tires!

I was able to get 94,000 miles on my set of Defenders over 6 years. I probably could have pushed 100,000 but, the outside tread was cracking. I was very faithful in rotating my tires. Great snow, rain handling. Quiet also.

Buy these!

Swapped over from a set of Khumo tires that came stock on my 2022 Elantra. These tires have completely changed the driving experience. So quiet and comfy on the road. I wish I would’ve known about these sooner.

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.

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

Terrible

I bought these tires 4 years ago and experienced a blowout on the sidewall of this tire. Only 30K miles applied to the set of tires. As a life long customer, I've learned Michelin's shinning reputation is no longer what they used to be.
