Smooth , quiet ride, Great features

I bought these tires several days ago and they are awesome! I have several sets on other trucks and always get at least 70,000 miles out of each set. Very quiet and a smooth ride on a 4 wheel drive truck and also handles the mud very well.

Great all season tire

Bought 4 for my cx 5, 6-7 years ago and no doubt the best allseason tire I ever bought. They would climb over packed snow pushed against my vehicle by snow plows saving me from digging it out.came time to replace and my size was no longer available.

Great Tire

I bought my 2nd set of Michelin Defenders after going 86,676mi on the first set. I never bought Michelin tires until I bought my first set of Defenders. I probably could have driven another 5k-7kmi but I noticed that traction wasn't that good in the rain with 86k plus miles. Very impressed with these tires quietness, longevity, and performance. When it's time to ditch the 2nd set of Defenders, I will definitely be buying a 3rd time.

Good tire, but very hard ride

I now have approx. 40,000 miles on a set of these. They are in all respects very good tires. The wear seems to be as expected, they are great on wet highways and relatively quiet although as all Michelins do, they seem to be getting noisier as they wear. What I don't like is they are as hard as rocks and with every pothole or manhole it feels like the front of the truck is getting torn off. I had the Primacy's prior to these and for us, they were a much better tire. I don't do a lot of heavy hauling and would prefer the softer ride. I think I'll be going back to the Primacy in the future.

I hope they'll be good eventually...

I purchased the tires Dec 27 2024 and when they finally arrived had them balanced and installed on January 31st 2025. Very bumpy ride quality after my OEM Goodyears with 88,000 km on them that still gave a very smooth ride. The shop tried to rebalance on Feb 24th and the ride quality is worse now and there's definetly something wrong. I think I'll like them once this is sorted out but lots of hassle and time wasted so far. I read such good reviews I was really expecting better. Also it was interesting these tires were made in Brazil. At this point I'll give the tires 2 stars not knowing if its a bad tire(s) or a bad install and balance. So with that said I want to like them but not yet.
