This Defender tire ,has made me feel the safest I have driven in the last 3 years. They have been one of my best purchases in a long time. They have made me breath a little easier when my seventeen year old son wants to drive my truck. He loves the way it handles. I enjoy the fact that they hold up so well.

Seems every time we buy a new car it has tires I'd really rather not have. So we drive till we need to replace the tire which never comes soon enough. Thankfully the stock tires only lasted 28,000 miles and then we replaced them with the Defenders. I had done my research and decided these were the tires for us. The difference was immediate. The car rode smoother, held the curves tighter, and just made the driving experience an overall joy. Our mileage improved which was a bonus with the cost of gas these days. I couldn't find any negatives about these tires, price or performance. I'd recommend these tires for anyone looking for a great set of tires that fill every need. Looking forward to the truck tires needing changing now so I can get a st of high quality Michelin tires for it.

This is a great tire. I have total confidence in Michelin tires. In fact, I have so much confidence in Michelin that I drive a four wheel-drive Van that requires "run flat" tires since there is no spare tire on this vehicle. Run flat tires are terrible. The tires do not wear well or drive well. I have switched to Michelin tires and have total confidence that I still do not need a spare tire. Have been using Michelin tires for years. I was glad to switch back to Michelin from the original "run flat" tires. This may not work for everyone, but it works for me.

I bought 4 Defenders for my Subaru~~WOW! I can't believe the ride how smooth, even when it's raining and pouring the way they can handle the curves or stopping fast. I am so happy with my tires. Thank you Michelin I feel safe and they are worth every penny. I have always buy your product and I will highly recommended to anyone :)

I researched all the tires available for my Prius and, in the end, there was only one choice, the Michelin Defender, thst me all of the following requirements: 1. Excellent mileage 2. Long lasting 3. Safety (braking, handling) 4. Quiet I'm highly pleased with the Defender!

Love Michelin tires...they may initially cost a little more but more than pay for themselves by lasting longer. Also, they cut through water like a hot knife in butter even when the tread is worn. The ride is comfortable, quiet and safe! In my opinion a set of Michelin's would make a great Christmas present especially for someone you love and wish to keep safe while they drive. Americans spend billions a year to keep their houses & computers safe but will drive on a less expensive, substandard and unsafe tire making themselves and their loved ones unsafe with the #1 killer in America....auto accidents...

This is my second set of Michelin tires, these are the Defenders, very low noise, excellent ride, can hardly feel the road. My old Michelins lasted for almost 5 years, i hope these tires will give me 6 good years. Thanks Michelin for the prorated rebate on my old tires. Definitely buy them them again, it is worth every penny.

The original equipment tires on my 2010 Ford Focus had gotten threadbare, harsh and noisy; time to find replacements. Enter the Defender. Incentivized with a great deal and the sterling Michelin brand and reputation I purchased a set of Defenders. What an amazing improvement in ride quality. Smooth as silk, quiet as a soft whisper and great ride and handling as well. Defender is a winner in all categories. Thanks Michelin.

I replaced the original equipment tires on my Pontiac Vibe with only 20,000 miles on them. I put Michelin Harmony tires on and the ride was incredible. The tire dealer actually said that the Michelins wouldn't last on the car either because of the design of the car. Well, the Harmonys wore very well and after about 65,000 miles I replaced them with Michelin Defender because the Harmonys were no longer available. I'm sure I could have gotten another 10,000 miles out of them but my wife is paranoid when it comes to treadwear. The Defenders have been every bit as good as the Harmonys. Great traction in rain and snow, fantastic ride, and nice even wear.

I just went for price. Not quality. For years I have only purchased Michelin tires. I had never been dissapointed. Then I buy an old used car for work as I travel a lot. This old car was a good value buy. The true driven to church and grocery store on Sunday old car. Very few miles for a 10 year old car. The car needed tires though. I went to my usual dealer and instead of buying Michelin tires I went for a lesser cost tire as I did not spend much money on the car. Right away I noticed the road noise was different. I did not get even 30 thousand miles on these tires and started having problems then belt separation. I went back to my retailer and did not even shop. I asked for the best Michelin tires for my car. My car rides better, rides quieter and I feel more confident driving my car. I will not ever replace quality for value when it comes to tires again. It is Michelin only from now on.
