Exceptional tire

Spent a little more than buying another brand online. I'm very glad that I purchased these tires for my wife's van. A noticable improvement in steering response, mpg(~+1), braking and ride. These replaced older Symmetrys. Quieter as well. I would definately recommend the Defender, especially if you place emphasis on the safety of your family. Thank you Michelin!

Best tires ever

After 2 sets of tires from a different manufacturer I went back to the Michelin brand (Michelin was the original brand when I purchsed the vehicle). At first, I was a bit reluctant because of the price, but now I am not regreting at all my purchase. The ride feels so smooth that it feels more like I am flying than riding on concrete. I would strongly recommend the Michelin Defender to everyone.

Dry rot

I cannot believe the tires have dry rotted to the point of me hacing to put air in them every three days. They are 2 years old!!!. I stay on the road so there is no sitting to rot!!!. Now at 2 years and 38k miles on them I have to get them REPLACED SOON!! SO MUCH FOR BEST And WARRANTY!

Greatest tire I have ever had on a vehic

We have taken two long road trips since we had the Defenders installed and they are the quietest and smoothest tires that I have ever had on any of my vehicles. I am 75 years old and have gone through my share of tires. The Defenders are hands down the best tire I have ever had. Because of the mileage warranty these are a really good buy when you break the price down as cost per mile. I am very pleased.

Michelin Defender

I am a big fan of Michelin tires! Yes, the cost more but well worth the extra money. They ride so much better than any other tire I've ever had. In the last 12 moths I have purchased 3 sets of Michelin tires. My daily driver is a 2000 Mercedes E320 Wagon and I will not purchase any other tire for this car, seems to be a perfect fit. I've recently purchased the new Defender tires for my wife's Honda van. She has done about 5-7K on them and they ride AWESOME! I want to make sure that my wife and kids are safe and having those tires on her van gives me that exta assurance. If you're in the market for new tires...buy Michelin!

smooth, quite, solid handling

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!

Michelin Defender - Poor Tread Wear

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...

Love this product!!!!!

I have tried other tires many times but thought it about time I go for maximum safety and install my Michelin Defenders. I have heard so much about this tire it was time for ultimate safety and performance. I love the smooth ride and traction on those Florida wet roads, go Michelin!!!!!
