Did not last 90k miles

Purchased the 90k tires for a 2007 Honda Odyssey van. Rotated tires ever oil change or between 3k and 4k. Also, had alignment done as needed. Only got about 64k miles out of tires. Dealer told me it would do know good to prorate tires because the warranty would only have 26K left and I would also have to pay for mount, balance, etc. per Michelin I paid full price to not pay for the mount, balance, etc. and have the full warranty. We purchased the same tires again as they have lasted longer than any other tire we have tried. On another note, I purchased the Harmony 80k tire for my Honda Accord and had 87k when I purchased new Defender's.

Great Control In Any Condition

I bought the Defender series for my Scion XB. I have seen a 2 to 3 mpg increase in my mileage and the ride has improved as well. What I really like the most is that there hasn't been any weather where this tire doesn't perform. Snow or pouring rain the car handles great and there is no feeling of steering loss. My wife's car is due for tires and we will be replacing hers with the Defender series as well. Just an all around great tire!

Very Pleased

This set of Defender tires is the best since we've had the front wheel drive car new in 2007. They are the most comfortable and quiet ride. Most of all, as I had hoped, they offer the best traction on wet and snowy roads. All pros, no cons. Thanks, Michelin, for a truly superior product.

Pretty good tires

We recently got the Defender tires and compared to our last set, they were amazing. These tires run smooth, quiet, and give the driver a feeling of great control on the road. Our previous ones, a different brand, were ridiculously noisy and didn't do as well as we thought it should during our snowy/icy winter season.

Not sure if I would do this again.

I have lost two miles per gallon since installing these tires. I thought that I would get better milage and do not understand what happened. They do ride smooth, and are quiet, but I miss getting the milage that I was getting prior to installing them. I check my milage at every fill up and have for years and this is the first time I have lost milage with a tire that is suppose to help.

Good but noisy

These seemed good tires, good handling, avg fuel efficiency but a lot noisy. I wish I can keep them but can't bare the noise, chirping noise since installation. Going to exchange with Premier A/S, hope promise plan will cover it since its been less than a week.

Glad to have Defender tires on car

We had Defenders install on our mini van before we went on vacation to VA, up in the mountains. It rained really hard while we were driving the mountains road, and I know it was the Defender tires that kept us on the road. I felt safer and more in control, my wife even said from the passenger side, "I am really glad you bought the Defender tires before this trip"

Thank you Michelin for this tire!

I own a Honda CRV. I purchased 4 Michelin Defender tires and now the vehicle rides as smooth as a Buick car. I absolutely love the tires. I feel very safe and confident, especially in the winter time when I travel over very snowy roads. I would recommend these tires to everyone I meet! Thank you Michelin for making these exceptional tires available!

Love my Michelin Defenders!!!

I love my Michelin Defender Tires. I have a 120 mi round trip to work every day. I love the smooth ride you get with these tires. I graduated to this tire from the Michelin Harmony and was not disappointed. I have always had a long commute to work and have tried many other tire brands. The Michelin Defender wins HANDS DOWN!!!! Love it!

Outstanding tires

I have the Defender tires on a Ford 500, 2007. Ths car is used for family driving in all kinds of weather. These tires are all I had hoped for in snow, ice, and dry roads. There is virtually no road noise. Handling is noticeably better than any other tire I have ever had.
