Above and beyond

I purchased a set of Michelin Defenders back in April 2013. Now 91,000 later I am purchasing my second set of Michelin Defenders. With the exception of a nail in the tires I haven't had the least bit of trouble. I feel safe riding on these tires as I do a lot of highway driving in all types of weather. Thank you for building a good quality product that really does get all the miles you said it would. Karen

Always Buy ichelin

I have always purchased Michelin tires for my vehicles. I even purchased Michelin Aviator Tires for my Rockwell Commander Aircraft! Just purchased a set of Michelin Defender tires for my Infinity G-37. They are rated for 90,000 miles. They are a very smooth riding tire and the noise from them is almost non-existent. I highly recommend Michelin tires..they might cost a little more, but the extra ware and confidence you have from driving on them is well worth it!

Just bought 2nd Set of 4!

We just bought our second set of 4 for our vehicle. Not issues with the tire! Super quiet and comfortable ride. If they only made this tire for off road vehicles!!! My wife's daily driver to commute and carry our kids to and from their activities. We have driven this tire on ALL weather types of road conditions (rain, snow, desert, high temperatures) no issues. Very reliable. Find an installer to fill with nitrogen! Well worth it and piece of mind. Don't think twice about buying this tire!

Great tires, don't buy cheaper ones.

These tires ride quiet and will last longer than others. I heard a lot of good things about the Cooper tires a local shop was selling and I asked them about the tire warranty. The tire was labeled for 70k miles or maybe more, but the shop says they will typically get 25k -30k... ?? I'm passing on these after replacing the tires on my new Minivan after less than 30k miles. It is worth a good bit more $$ if you can get that 50k miles on a set of tires.

These are GREAT tires!

I had these tires installed on my '06 Ford Taurus along with new struts all the way around. It had 108K on it when they were installed. When I drove it out of the shop, it was like driving a new car out of the showroom. We're at 121K now and I can see no sign of wear yet. My 45 mile round trip commute is a pleasure now! The guy at the shop said "you realize these are 90K tires don't you?" I told him that when they are worn out, the car probably will be too! Thinking about putting them on my '14 Durango as well. Pay the extra nickel and get Michelins, you won't be sorry.

Great Tires!!

These are great tires! There quite and handle good. This is my second set I just put on my 09 Ford Fusion. The first set I put on my car I got 91000 miles out of them. I just made sure I rotated them every 5000 to 7000 miles and make sure the alignment on the car is good.

A little pricey but worth it

After 71,000 miles of highway driving on my 2014 truck, I opted for the next size up because the tire shop did not have my factory size. The Michelin Defender is a fantastic tire for better traction, ride comfort, road noise and looks. Only time will tell on how long they last. They don't squeal in tight turns or slip on take off from a stop like my factory tires did. I should have ordered the factory size because I immediately noticed a little over 1 mile per gallon drop in mileage because the computer sensed the resistance from the taller tires and is in 8 cylinder mode more often than before.

Best tires I have ever used!

This is my second set of these tires in two years; however, do not think the tires do not last. The set I just replaced had just shy of 100,000 miles on them and would have more except something was in the road and put a hole in one of the tires so I replaced them all. These tires handle great and last a long-time. For the price these tires cannot be any better!

No good in the snow

I have a long driveway, 200 feet, and everytime it snows I always get stuck on my driveway. I can never make it up my driveway. As far as any other weather, the tires are very good. They are very quiet. They are good for highway driving. I get my tires rotated every 5000 miles. I have the tires now for one year and eight months. If it wasn't for the problem in the snow and getting up my driveway, I would get these tires again..

Mileage Warranty Does not Jive

Had Michelin tires my entire life. Bought these tires through local dealer in 2014. Took exceptional care of the tires, balance and rotated every 3000 miles from day one. Constantly checking air pressure. Took car in for rotation and rebalance with less than 43000 miles on tires only to find out tires are within 1/32 of being wore out. They only registered 3/32 on all tires. These are 90000 mile tires highway driven daily. What a joke!!
