Had these tires for 3 years and put a little over 23000 miles on them and they were dry rotted. Lots of little cracks on the side wall and in the tread. I ve had Michelin s before and loved them. These are very poor tires. I would not recommend this tire.

I bought the defender series tire for my car while I was in Ky. I have used the Michelin tires for several years on several different vehicles. They have been very good during all different types of weather that we have in East Tenn. I would highly recommend this brand of tires to anyone including my family. I will only buy this brand of tires for my vehicles. They serve my needs. Thank you for a great product.

I have owned many sets of tires and these Michelins are superior. I have had approx 3 sets and they are very reliable. I do take care of my tread. I rotate every 6000 miles every other oil change. I measure tread wear all the time so I know if its time for an alignment or not. With this I get every mile out of my tires. Want to thank Michelin for producing a great product. Also I have been a Paramedic 24 yrs and 20 of thoes years Michelin tires have been run on a heavy oversized truck and are mistreated fast slow all weather conditions. Michelin is the best.

The tires I purchased were placed on a 2005 Chrysler, Town and Country. As you can imagine, having a minivan, we do a lot of traveling by car. I have placed a lot of miles on the vehicle and the tires have always felt safe and secure. They have felt like they grip the road and the thread life has been amazing. I would purchase these same tires again.

I have had my Michelin Defender tires for about 6 months and driven to California and to the East coast from our home. In all about 20,000 miles of peace and quiet. My old tires were so noisey that I had a headake at the end of every day of past trips. I love the security of knowing that my tires will now stop in the rain faster than before. Handling is much better. I now get 2 miles per gallon more with these tires. I was so impressed by this set of tires that I bought an additional set for my wife's car. She was so happy about the quiet and security that I got a big kiss and a thank you!

These are my first Michelin's and I won't go back to any others...as I joke with my wife who is a Teacher and drives 22 miles to and from school. I told her it was time to replace the original tires and I was going to purchase the Michelin's. She heard the price and she was concerned about the $$$$'s I told her only the best to transport my M.V.P. (Most Valuable Person) to and from school. The handling , the performance, braking , and increased fuel ......all definitely are worth the price. Not to mention the piece of mind I have knowing how great the tires are !!!

I thought my 2005 Pontiac Vibe was ready for the junk yard. It was noisy, rough riding, and the name Vibe seemed appropriate. Then I bought a set of these Defenders, and it is like a new car. The steering and handling is better. I can hear the hum of the engine again. The vibration is gone. I have yet to verify gas mileage improvement, but with less noise and vibration, I'm sure mileage and wear and tear on the car's components are improved. This is a testimony to the value of good tires. I could keep this car for another 100,000 now.

I've used Michelin for years and I will continue to buy them but not the Defender. The tires are noisy and ride extremely rough. I haven't decided if I going back to the dealer to see if they will replace them. They are really good people so I may get lucky.

I drive a 2010 ford Fusion Sel,and when I buought the car it had michelin Mxv4's on them,Great tire,But the Deffender is even better,I noticed instanlly the smoothness of the tires over the last ones, witch felt more rigid.I aslo notice they are Much Much quiter,and the handling is much better,and their rated at 90k,Best tire I ever owned! I would recommend to anyone! for any veh.

The defender Michelin tires are very nice . Like the name "Defender" , it does . No matter what kind of roads , this tire give excellent handleing , braking , and very quiet driving . The best is the defender Provide 90,000 miles confidence drive which no others tire can give me this.
