these tires have been quite & have gave me almost 30,000 miles trouble free. one thing that i did notice the other day was there are small cracks developing between the tread groves, but no cocern at this time. i will buy michelin tires again, 100% happy!

Bought Michelin tires 5 years ago and have been very happy. One of the front tires was damaged from a pothole and so new tires were needed. I may have been able to get another year from the tires but didn't want to just replace the one damaged tire. I bought 4 new tires and the car rides much better ... still drove nice with the old tires but the new once ase soo much better. Very good tire ... quite the entire 5 years which I could not say of theprevious brand before Michelin ... it was so noisy after the second year I had to replace. Only Michelin from here on!!

I previously had two sets of Michelin "Hydro-Edge" tires on my last two Prius autos. I was very happy with these tires, which are no longer available because they were replaced by the "Defender" tire. I now have 10,000 miles on my Defenders. Tread wear appears to be excellent, so I think they will probably last the rated 90,000 miles just like my "Hydro-Edge" tires. The Defenders have excellent wet & dry traction and the car handles like its on rails. They also did not decrease my gas mileage. Improvements over the "Hydro-Edge" are that the "Defender" is quieter and has a non-directional tread, so it can be rotated from side to side rather than only front to back.

In my opinion, buying tires for my families vehicles is a very important job. Which I take seriously. Buying poor quality tires to save money , is putting my family at risk. My father told me to save my money...but.. know when to spend it. My Michelin Hydro-Edge tires lasted 80,000+ miles on my wife's van. We replaced those tires with the new Michelin Defenders. These are a solid, well made tire, not the cheapest, but well worth the money for my wife's safety and my peace of mind. I trust Michelin tires for there quality, reliability, and durability. Why would I want a second rate tire. My family is far more important.

The first mile I rode on these tires (Defenders) I knew I made the right choice. I did my research and picked the best tire out there, and am I glad I did. Fantastic ride, quite, and firm handling. a little most money, but well worth it. BUY THESE TIRES, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY!

I have owned several cars over the years and after experiencing other tire brands with which I was never satisfied in their performance and safety, I purchased my first set of Michelins about 20 years ago. Since that time all of my cars have had Michelins, including my daughters' cars, for the same reason that I bought these...Michelin's Brand reliability for performance and value, but at the top is it's safety and dependability. I wouldn't send my family off on the road in anything else.

We changed all of our four worn out tires on our Chevy Equinox last summer. It drove smoothly in the harsh winters in Indiana with extremely good traction. We have made several long trips in our vechicle including a 2000 mile round trip to South Dakota which included a lot of mountain driving this summer. The performance of the tires in these harsh conditions was phenomenal.

In 2012 I replaced the original Michelin tires on our 1997 Lincoln Town car that we bought three years ago with only 23.000 original miles. With 36.000 miles on the tires and a long trip planed, thought it may be better to buy new tires. At 36.000 miles the Michelin tires still looked great and the ride was better than my other car, but were 15 years old and not sure if the rubber would hold up to highway speeds. I've owned Michelin tires all my life, it was an easy choice, after reviewing Michelin tires on the internet the Defender tire was by far my number one choice. Four years ago a retailer was out of Michelin tires, I needed tires that very day and put what I thought was a good tire on my other Lincoln, I've regreted it ever since, I'll be replacing these tires this fall, can't wait. The ride you get from Michelin tires is unforgettable, a friend once said about riding in the 1997 Town Car, I love riding in your car it's so smooth riding, I told her it's not the car it's the tires, Michelin tires.

I'm 71 years young. I've bought a lot of tires over the years, and have used them hard. I have always done a lot of traveling all through these 50 states. I can't recall being as satisfied with any other tires as I have been with the four Defenders I put on my vehicle. The ride is smooth, quiet and comfortable. WHAT MORE CAN A DRIVER ASK FOR!!!

I have used this tire for the past year and it is absolutely great. Hugs the road perfectly whether it is wet or dry. I had hydroplaning issues with previous tires and it is nonexistent now. I would not have any other tire on my car. This is used for everyday commuting to work on an interstate. Highly recommend to all!!
