Michelin defender

Bought these today for my Subaru Forester. My old tires were at their end of life. I only drove from dealer home but the difference is amazing. Obviously fit is important. My husband had tires from this dealer previously and said they were excellent. So we will see how they wear. Road noise is gone. These tires were recommended by dealer

Warranty is 80k miles

I bought these tires 3 years ago and had them rotated every 5k miles with my oil change. They are right at 50k and need to be replaced. Will see if Michelin stands behind their warranty of 80k miles. If not, one pays a premium price for an average product.

Didn't go the distance

When i bought these they carried a 90,000 mile claim. They have since lowered that to 80,000. I would have been happy to have gotten 50,000. Won't happen. With winter coming I will need to replace these at about 40,000. They do ride well and wear evenly but the mileage claim is very unrealistic.

Outstanding grip, quiet, smooth and comfortable ride!

I have owned multiple vehicles with various brands of tires, but never Michelin. Finally purchased a set last week. The difference in handling, grip, comfort and noise level is off the charts. I absolutely cannot believe what a difference they make! If I could give more than 5 stars, I most definitely would.

Would definitely recommend Michelin tires.

I have also had Michelin X-ICE tires and based on their performance and ratings of Defender T + H, I wanted to try this tire. I have had them just over a month but I am happy with their performance (quiet, nice ride). I am expecting they will be the best of four types of all season tires I have used in the last 12 years.

EXTREMELY QUIET RIDING ALL-SEASON TIRES

I purchased set of four Defender T+H A-S tires 3 years ago at my Mercury dealership. I get tires rotated (front-to-rear/same side) annually. Since I only drive about 5,000 miles per year on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis car, these Michelin tires will last me a long time past the 6-years factory warranty. I get all four tires balanced every 2 years, and keep my tire pressure set at 37psi on all four tires filled with NITROGEN. I do 60% local driving and 40% high-speed turnpike driving and these great Michelin Defender T+H tires have never let me down. Matter-of-fact, I have only purchased Michelin tires since owning my 1989 Ford Crown Victoria S/Wgn. Michelin wrote the book for radial tires; therefore you can't go wrong buying them. This is the 2nd set of Michelin tires on my 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis having slightly less than 70,000 miles on the vehicle.

Good tires but extremely noisy!!!

I bought these for my 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan and absolutely hate them!!! Got them around Thanksgiving and noticed that they were very loud and my MPG was not as high as with my previous tires. I tried to have them exchanged at the place I purchased them, but they would not honor the guarantee. Now that it is summer, and it's much hotter, the tires are even louder! If I had a disposable income I would change these out, but given the price of the tires, that is not possible. While the tread is great for all conditions, please note that you will hear an increase in road noise.

We understand the Defender T&H tires on your 2010 Honda Odyssey did not meet your expectation in terms of mileage. A member of our Consumer Care team will be in contact with you. You may also reach our office at 1-866-866-6605.

Too firm

I absolutely love the performance and handling of this tire. That being said, it is too firm and does not absorb road bumbs/vibrations very well. This is very close to being the perfect tire, but Michelin really needs to tone down the firmness slightly, and improve the vibration control. I cannot comment on their longetivity as they are still fairly new.

Michelin is a good tire i had energy saver a s tires there good but not as quiet and dont have the 80-90 thousand mile tread life.

Great Tires from heavy use

I do rideshare and put 75K per year on a RAV4 with only minor alignment corrections. Tires ride quite, good braking wet or dry. Rotate tires every 12K, alignment chk every 30K and I get between 88-92K per set at 4/32 tread depth. Can't understand how people are getting anything less than 60K
