We bought these tires for our Honda Civic and was very disappointed that they were so loud. The road noise from these tires is unbearable. Also, we hit a small puddle of water one day on the freeway on ramp doing about 70 km/hr and the tires hydroplaned like you wouldn't believe. Scary, it almost put us into the next lane. I will never buy these tires again or recommend them to anyone. These are probably the worse tires I have ever bought.

I have these tires on 2 of my caravans for 6 months now...They are smooth riding,quiet tires with awesome stopping grip in snow and rain! Tire wear is much better than other tires I have own in past years!! I will buy these tires again without thinking twice! They are AWESOME!!

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.

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"

We recently (2/21/14) replaced our old tires with the Defender XT. The old tires had lots of miles on them, but still had some life on the treads. They were starting to have problems with handling and vibration issues, so we replaced them. What an amazing difference. We are not that in to performance and handling characteristics, but these tires made such a dramatic difference in the handling on our 2005 Honda Civic, I figured that writing a review was in order. These tires are incredible: quieter ride; the front end seemed to tighten up as if it were a new car (tight steering); zero vibration; great tracking and handling. We give them a 10 out of 10! Tire store did a great job with the install and customer service. Can't miss on these tires.

This is an Excellent tire! Having Purchased allot of tires in my life. This being the best. It rides smooth with no noise.The previous set of tires was noisy and did not handle well.I would recommend these tires to anyone. I also found that you get what you pay for and Michelin tires are worth every penny.The defender tires that i bought have a 90 thousand mile warranty. My wife bought Michelin tires and i bought 3 sets of tires to her one set of Michelin tires.

this is my second vehicle with Michelin tires and what I like is that the car rides smoother, quiter, seems to save on fuel use and the tire lasts longer then any other tire. I am over 70 years old and had many tires in my life and Michelin is the best.

I was having trouble with flats with my old tires therefore decided to purchase new tires. I am very impressed with my Michelin tires. I have much better gas mileage, quiet ride and smooth. I did not realize tires made such a huge difference. Now I do.

I just purchased the Defender as an upgrade from the Harmony. 5 years and 96,000 miles ago, I purchased the Harmony tires. What a marvelous, quiet, smooth ride they produced. No need for balance or alignment; all taken care of at the dealer at no cost. To get an "extra" 16,000 miles from the guaranteed 80,000 miles was a real bonus. No wonder I'm back for the newly purchased and upgraded Defenders!!

I purchased the Michelin "Defender" tires for a 2006 Buick La Cross to upgrade from the previous Michelin tire, which was a good tire but the "Defender" tires are excellent for traction and especially wet weather performance. Furthermore, the ride of the vehicle is improved and road noise has even diminished. The handling is also greatly improved, especially compared to the original tires of the vehicle.
