Driving away from the tire store I was instantly amazed at how well these tire performed. My 2003 Honda Odyssey felt brand new. I figured for a long wear tire that the ride would feel like a brick; these felt like those soft compound performance racing tires. The ramp onto the freeway felt like I was on rails spiraling up to an aircraft launch off a carrier. I couldn't wait for a rainstorm and when it did come, these tires once again impressed me. Looking forward to some snow now. You will not be sorry with these tires. I have 50% tread left on my other Honda. I may not wait until they wear out to replace them with the Michelin Defenders!

I've been buying Michelin tires for 15 years and they are simply the best riding, wearing, and handling tires I have ever used. Once I let the salesman convince me to try a different brand. I brought them back 6 months later because they were not wearing evenly. The tire store pro rated my return, put Michelins on my 2004 Honda CRV and once again I got long lasting excellent wear and performance. I kept my Mazda MPV for 186K miles. I want to drive my CRV, which currently has 160K on it, another 100,00 miles and I will never buy another brand of tire. I just put new Defender's all the way around last November and took a trip to Nashville the next week with confidence that I had the best tires available for my Honda. I KNOW I can count on Michelin tires to give me the wear and performance I demand for my money. Michelin tires are simply the best! Accept NO substitutes!

i bought this tire for my compact car to commute to work on a daily basis. it helps provide a better gas mileage, handling of my vehicle, and provides a better ride. i have nothing negative to say about this product its a great tire i would buy this tire again in furture .....

Michlin Defender tires have proven to have superior treadlife and durability on my cars for the past 15 years. The tires ride smoothly and are trouble free. From time to time replacements have been made because of age - never because of excessive wear or defects. Whennever I need tires Michlin is my first and only choice.

I did a lot of research and found out the Defender was the very best tire on the road today! I have made one trip so far and we are making the same trip again soon! We are confident we are safe with the Defender and know we will not have any trouble with them and look forward to making many such trips up to the 90,000 miles they are advertized for. Thansk for the BEST TIRES on the market!

I used to use Michelins years ago and I loved them. I got away from them for awhile and now I wonder why. I have them on my mini van that I have owned now for 11 yrs and these are the quietest tires I've ever put on. They feel great on the road, like I am getting more traction than before. I like the way they grip during the rain too. The ride is so much smoother than before as well. I am a very satisfied customer and will buy Michelins again when I am in need of new tires.

PURCHASED SET OF MICHELIN DEFENDERS FOR MY WIFE'S BMW. MADE A QUICKJ THANKSGIVING TRIP FROM LOUISIANA TO FLORIDA. IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AND A VERY QUIET RIDE. MAYBE A TAD LOSS IN MILE PER GALLON! BUT I AM VERY IMPRESSED OVERALL. GREAT PRODUCT MICHELIN MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used many different brand of tires in the past years. Through experience I noticed that Michelin tire is the most durable and reliable tire and the pricing is also reasonable. The Michelin All seasons tires give good traction on snow and wet road that's the great quality feature I like the most.

I purchased 4 new Defenders about 6 months ago. I drive about 50 miles / day to work and home. Some of it on gravel roads. My tires take a beating in inclement weather due to the country roads. These tires are pretty impressive on tar, no complaints on the gravel. My biggest problem is punctures. I have had two punctured tires in 6 months. Tougher rubber would be great, but then I suppose that would compromise my ride.

I drive 45k miles per year in a northern state. After 6k miles I'm very happy with this tire. Excellent traction in snow and rain. I was looking for a LRR tire to optimize mileage, I'm somewhat disappointed with the performance in this category, currently averaging about 4 mpg less then my previous tire. Additional i find them somewhat noisier then I had hoped for. Wiith regular rotation I'm hoping to get the 85-90k.
