The Defenders are the best tire that we have ever purchased. What made us to decide on them was the price and mileage that we could use them for. We made a long trip and never had a problem and was a smooth ride on different types of road conditions. Other brands you feel a lot in your ride from different types of road conditions and the Defenders are the best. I recommend them to all that I know and will buy again and again. Thank you for making a great product.

These tires replaced a set of 4 Michelin HydroEdge on a '08 Chrysler Sebring. I originally purchased the HydroEdge because of their superior water performance, high mileage and quiet comfortable ride. They really delivered except for mileage......the first Michelin's that didnt come close to their rating. I went for the Defenders because of the 90k rating, but after over 9k of driving must say that they handle better and ride at least as good as the HydroEdge. Although too early to tell how they will wear, with over 9k miles, they still look unworn. Very firm ride.....excellent in snow and rain, and they ride very very quiet. These are better than I expected. Highly recommend.

Have never purchased Michelin tires before, but hav had them on cars that I purchased. Looked around and even though Michelins are a bit more expensive than other tires, you get what you pay for. I am very satisfied with the Defender, they have been on my car for 4 months now, wearing well, from the first time I drove off after having them installed I could tell the difference in handling. Will always buy Michelins from now on.

defender tires--purchased june 4 2012-first tank of gas after purchase i had lost 3 miles per gallon-now oct 18 2012 this last tank fuel went to 22 mi per gal. versus the 26.6-27-4 i was gettting before these tires. my 2010 honda crv tires only had 26,000 miles on them and were shot. the defenders are not quiet either. certain hwy's going to columbus oh they were down right noisey.--so i am not happy taking them in for a check up to see what might be the problem?--instead of gaining 3.5 mi per gall i lost it.

I got the tires for our Colorado winter season. These tires are nice but for the money I spent I expected them to grip in snow better. I have slid a couple of times so far and it's very early in the season. I would recommend this tire for dry climates.

I drive about 55K a year and these tires are holding up great! Even at 80K there are still lots of life left in them. It might help that I keep them at 40PSI and have regular rotations done. Wet performance is ok not great but what do you expect with a harder compound long lasting tire!

I bought this tire because of its name, Michelin. They have so far exceeded my standards in the harsh Wisconsin winters. Not only are they great in the snow ( particularly the really wet slushy stuff), but they are great in the rain and grippy on the hottest of days. Bottom line is they are an excellent tire for less money than their competitors. I have about 10000 miles on these with little signs of wear. Great buy. Thanks Michelin!

These tires have great traction in all kinds of weather, especially the snow. My family has always bought Michelin Tires because of their durability, reputation, and outstanding quality. We highly recommend this brand to all of our family and friends.

A great tire for tread wear. Very low road noise "almost none. Very good side wall stiffness not an aggressive cornering tire but not too bad depending on sidewall height. A good stopping tire 60 to 0 in 110 feet on non ABS car. WOW! Great in wet weather. So says the wife.

Got my tires on Black Friday for my 2010 Honda CRV. They do very well in the snow and I have not had any issues. I have about 8,000 miles on them so far and I will most probably by Michelin Tires for my wife's car when it needs them. Good quality product.
