Purchased a full set of 4 Michelin Defender XT tires for my 2009 Hyundai Tucson in May of 2012. By August of 2013 I was told there was only approximately 38% tread left and that we'd have to do a warranty replacement sometime in the next year. At the end of June, 2014, I went through the warranty replacement process and got new tires. The tires only had about 40,000 miles on them and the tread warning markers were level with the remaining tread. This tire is supposed to have a life closer to 90,000 miles. Not impressed...

These are noticeably smoother ride than my precious well-ranked tires, and I am not usually the sort to notice such things. I love these Michelins and will continue to buy Michelins in the future. The guy at the dealer warned me I would feel this way. He was so right.

My Michelin tires are the smoothest, most comfortable ride that I have ever had in a car. They really hug the road and have fantastic traction in all weather and driving conditions. I would recommend Michelin tires to anyone. Prior to getting Michelin tires my car had horrible traction in ice and snow, and rode pretty roughly on city streets. I used to feel every bump in the road. Now, I have an awesome driving experience and am not dreading winter weather. My car even handles better and brakes much quicker.

I am using Michelin's Defender tire on my Honda Odyessy. Reasons I like Michelin's Defender tires: Highway gas mileage up to two points above Odyessy specs. Quiet at highway speeds Great traction in rain With over 25,000 miles on tires they still have plenty of tread. I trust Michlin tires where the rubber meets the road no matter what the conditions.

I have been an exclusive Michelin tire purchaser since 2000 as new vehicle came with them and I was very impressed. We just purchased 4 Michelin Defender tires for our 2004 Honda Accord and went 2600 miles in the next week. Tires felt secure in all driving conditions and left us feeling confident that our choice was again the correct one. Our Honda had 66219 original miles and the tires we replaced were the originals. Still had lots of tread but we replaced because of their age. We highly recommend buying Michelins.....KB

Bought these as replacement tires. Installed the tires before a 2,000 mile trip to PA and return from Florida. The 24.5 mpg was 2.5 mpg better then the tires that came on our 2009 Town & Counrty Touring van. These tires provided a very smooth ride and I felt the car handled better. Bought a second set of 4 Defender tires for our VW New Beetle and am pleased with how great it rides with them.

I just had these Defender tires installed on a Pontiac Montana Van that has had a vibration problem with another brand of tires for years, and what a difference!. If someone had told me that I would see this much improvement in the way this van now performs, I would not have believed them. These are a far better tires, and the dealer and the crew did an excellent installation.

Sure I tried other tires and there is no comparison. I got half the mileage out of other brands and performance wise I felt much safer driving on Michelin's. The performance of the tire and mileage I get out of a set of Michelin's is worth a little more money.

I purchased the Michelin Defenders for my vehicle once the tires which came with the car suffered too much tread wear. My decision to go with the Defenders was based on favorable reviews and the fact that the tread is expected to last. I told my mechanic to install these so he ordered me a set, and said his vendor stated 'these were the only tires he'd put on his car.' I put 150 miles on my car every workday so the 90k mile tread life was important to me. I immediately noticed an improvement in the comfort and level of quiet in the ride. Very luxurious. I drive on a twisty highway for most of my commute, and noticed a great improvement in traction on curves when the road is either dry or wet. These tires also resist hydro planing much better than my previous set. I feel very confident when driving in wet conditions and would definitely buy them again.

when shoping for tries dont be foolrd by cheap tires take the time to look at treadware and compare than think wow if i by these great tires i will not have to replace them for 90000 miles ! now thats were the savings kick in. i was expecting a ruff bad handling tire with a tread life that these will have but not so they ride great handls great and are not nosienow for the not so good i will not be seeing dan the manager for a long time. your local store manager will me missing ya !
