I use these tires on my everyday car. I have always been a huge fan of Michelin since my second car purchase at age nineteen. I have purchased almost every tire brand on the market and this brand is my favorite bar none. The quite ride and road handling is the most important feature of a tire company and in my personal opinion, Michelin has cornered the market in this category. In closing, I have no negative comments to write.

After much research I decided to purchase the Michelin Defender tire model. I had racked up 46k on the tires that came on my Jeep Compass and while the tires would still pass inspection I did not want to go through another winter driving on them. I thought they handled well, and they were great in the snow. However, when it came time to purchase new tires the reviews on those original tires were mixed, and since they had never provided a very smooth ride I decided to stay away from them. The model of Michelin tires I was looking for (based upon reviews) was no longer made and the Defender was the replacement model. I was a little hesitant to go with them, but the incredible warranty gave them added appeal. Since they were new (I bought these last Nov. 2012) there really wasn't anything written about their performance in the snow. This winter was much milder than last, but these tires brought me through snow and slippery conditions just fine with great handling. They provide a much smoother ride than the original tires, and I am very satisfied with them. I gave them 4 out of 5 stars because I've only put 6k on the tires since I've purchased them and I cannot attest to how they wear with extensive mileage on them.

I am a High Mileage driver and have been buying Michelin tires for over 15 years. The DEFENDER series tire I installed on my front wheel drive mini van last year were the quietest tires I've ever had and also a HUGE IMPROVEMENT in WINTER Traction, as well as wet and dry pavement handling, acceleration and stopping. I've put nearly 20,000 miles on this set already and they still look and perform like new! VERY PLEASED! GREAT TIRE!

I own an all-wheel-drive Honda CRV. It's a great suv, but it's not easy on tires. I've always used Michelin. They've always been dependable, but this new Defender is the best ever. It has excellent road grip, wet or dry, quiet on all types of pavement, and it is as smooth as riding on a velvet carpet. This tire is the best one yet. Give it a 5+.

My wife and I always puchase Michelin tires for our cars or trucks. We even trade the original tires on our new vehicles to start each vehicle with Michelins. When the original Michelins on our Honda Accord needed replaced, we went to our regular dealer. He recommended the Defender. I have never been disappointed by any of the Michelin tires we have bought in the last 40 years. When the dealer told me there was a 90,000 mile warranty on the Defenders, I couldn't believe it!! I know we will never have the Honda that long, but that means the next owner will have great tires to use.

I purchased a Honda Civic knowing it needed tires. We looked at some options, but I knew I wanted a tire that would last many miles and provide a high level of security for my wife who would be the primary driver of the car. I have had no issues at all with any vibration, or evidence of any runout with these. The tires made a great deal of difference in the ride and handling, but this could be misleading since I had bad tires on it to start. The ride is great, and road noise is to be as expected since the car is not insualted as well as some others. I do not notice any issues in rain, but my wife had one issue in a panic stop situation on wet roads. I do not attribute that to the tires bu to the lack of ABS on the car. I am satisfied with these tires and believe that we received a good vlaue for the moeny spent.

Excellent Wear life, I got over 98,000 miles on my last set. So when it came to buying new tires I looked on further than Michelin. The tire store tried to sell me another brand but when it comes to realiability, dependibility, and wearability Michelin is the only tire.

These tires are used on our Honda Odyssey and are replacing a set of Michelin X tires that lasted over 90,000 mostly highway miles. The tires are smooth, relatively quiet, responsive and so far have have a nice ride quality. They are performing as I expected Michelin tires would. The quality is well worth the slightly higher price.

I bought these tires after the original tires wore out after 36,000 miles. What a difference these tires make in the way the car rides and handles. They are quite and run smoothly unlike the OEM tires that came with the Jeep Patriot. I feel like I have a new car. Winter is coming (to Durango, CO) and I am looking forward to seeing how they handle the snow.

put these tires on my 09 scion xb,the 1 st thing i noticed was how much smoother and quieter the ride was,the next thing was how much better it was going around corners,i allso get better gas mileage with them. i would defintely buy them again if they wear out,so far they still look like new
