Loudest Michelin tire

After many years and many miles, took off a set of Michelin Primacy tires and replaced them with Michelin Defender T + H tires on my wife's 2008 Toyota Avalon Limited. These Defender T+H are are loudest Michelin tires I ever hand a car. They were load enough that I though it may have been a wheel bearing, but the Toyota dealer said it was the tires. Previous tires were quiet Michelin HydroEdge on a Nissan Maxima and Michelin Premier on a Buick Lucerne. I should have bought Michelin Premier which were smoothest quietest tires ever. But bought the Defender T+H because of the extreme long tread life.

Another great set of Michelin tires

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.

Failure to Meet Expectations

I have 2006 Toyota Sienna purchased new; it has been a wonderful vehicle. Like many others, I consider safety above all other factors, which is why I have purchased these tires a number of times. However I have been disappointed with the durability of this tire. This will be the third set of Michelin Defender tires I have purchased for this vehicle. The first two sets have failed by a huge margin to meet expectation concerning durability. My wife religiously takes the time to have rotations done. The vehicle has been checked for proper alignment. No matter. Withing 30,000 miles we have been recommended twice to replace the tires due to uneven wear. Even with the pro-rated amount included in the price of a new set it has become more expensive than I think is fair. I was talked in to this last set by my wife because she believes your television commercials. The tire salesman said the compound was a new formula in making these tires and that they should last longer than the others. This does not increase my confidence in the brand. There are many tire manufacturers out there.

Excellent tires

I purchased my first set of Michelin Defenders for a full size van and I have to say these were the very best tires I've ever bought. After 5 seasons of summer use, there was still a lot of thread left. In my opinion, there is no other tire out there that lasts as long as these. This is an excellent product and I will never buy another brand of tire but Michelin.

Kept Me on the Road

I use Michelin's on my SUV that I pull a vendor trailer with and they never let me down in over 8 years. So, when it was time for my family car to get new tires I got Defenders. These were highly rated and my Tire and Repair shop recommended them so I know I have the best I can get and feel safe on the road.

Great Tire

Going to get my second set of Defenders TH today. Loved the first set that have about 75K miles on them. Winter is coming and would rather change tires early since I ski and drive on snowy roads. These performed well and I am very satisfied with the tread life.

Extremely Disappointed

I purchased Michelin T + H Tires 3-1/2 years ago with a 6-year, 80,000 mile warranty. with just over 30,000 miles. Tires no longer grip on damp roads spinning on acceleration from a dead stop. Dealer tells me I can replace with a prorated offer. I typically get 6 years with 60,000+ miles with a cheaper brand tire driving in harsh weather conditions.

MareBear, the limited mileage warranty should allow you credit toward a set of replacement tires. The amount of credit is based on the mileage received. Sounds like your retailer is handling this based on the warranty.

Disappointing wear

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.

Best tire for a Toyota!

I bought a Toyota Solara and put new tires on it right away. Instantly car was quiet. The real surprise was the first snowfall when I did not need to slow down for slush. The car handled great and has not disappointed me now for 80,000 miles. I am shopping for a new set to continue my journey.
