Replace Goodyear Wranglers with Defenders

Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.

Beyond awesome mileage.

Bought these tires almost six years ago to put on my Tundra. Purchased a new 2016 Silverado and had the Defenders removed from the Tundra and put on the Silverado with 1,000 miles already on them. Put the new Wranglers on the trade in Tundra. I drive a lot. Fast forward to 2021 and 179,000 miles on the Defenders and still going strong. Awesome ride and quite. Tread gauge now reads 1/4 inch on all tires. Unbelievable! Considering buying new Defenders but tempted to see how far I can go on this set.

Great Tires Love Michelin.

I left Goodyear and bought these tires 4 years ago and have loved these tires. We pull a Hitchhiker Discover America 300FK all over the US and these tires are quite and very smooth riding. I have worn the outside edge off as I have used the recommended 60 front 70 unloaded tire pressure. This is under inflated so now I run 70psi all around unhooked and 70 front 80 rear when hooked to the RV. I am getting a new set tomorrow.

Pretty disappointing tire

Have had these tires for 6 years now on a 2002 Nissan Xterra. Got them for the mileage warranty and the supposed superior traction. These tires have about 30,000 miles on them and only have 4/32nds left of tread. Definitely did not make the 70,000 miles. They never got any flats though. They have been decent tires in wet weather and snow, but nowhere near dedicated snow tires. They were fairly quiet brand new, but got much louder as they wore down. After 6 years and being on a car that is outside almost all the time, they have developed a good amount of age cracking which is expected from really any tire that sits out in the sun, rain, heat, and cold like they do. For the price of the tire, though, you can get other tires that are nearly the same for much less money. I don't think I'll purchase another set of these tires.

Great traction in all sorts of weather

I bought the Michelin Defender tires to replace the Michelin tires that came on my 2019 Ford F150 truck. The new tires have excellent traction and stability dealing with all kinds of road conditions. Like the original set, the new Michelin tires are the most quiet truck tires I've ever had, with absolutely no road whine. When the time comes, I'll definitely look at Michelin first.

EXCELLENT TIRES!

These tires have given me years of great service. I have had them on my Ford Ranger, Ford F150, and Ford Excursion. They are not by any means the cheapest tires for these vehicles, but they offer great ride quality, low noise, and I have never had one with any type of defect throughout the life of the tire.

" Michelin equals security on he road"

Security on the road is the most important reason I buy Michelin tires for my vehicles. I feel safe with my family knowing I've equiped my SUV and cars with the quality of Michelin tires. They make my vehicles handle like they should in any condition wet or dry, hot or cold I know I can depend on my Michelin's.

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

I was so glad to see that the new truck I purchased in 2006 came with Michelin LTX tires. I had used up two sets of Michelin tires on my old truck and currently are on our second set of Michelins on my wife's station wagon. We are completely satisfied with every aspect of these tires.

Wears Well

I use this tire on my everyday use truck, it is great handling and quiet. It feels great in any weather wet or dry. My only complaint is the cost, I wish it was just a little more affordable. But most of all I do value my life and that of my family and you can't put a price on that.
