Excellent ride

I decided to replace my old tires with the Michelin Defenders on my Dodge Charger. I have to say they have so far been excellent tires. The ride is smooth and stays clinging to the road in rainy weather. My fuel mileage is superb. I would and probably will purchase them again!!

Great Ride

I purchased a set of 4 Michelin tires for my mini van approximately 6 months ago. Driving 60-70 miles a day, 360-420 miles a week is extremely tough on tires but they have performed well. Regardless of the weather they have maintained stability and traction. They have improved and tripled the comfort of my ride each day. Best purchase I ever made!

What I expected from Michelin

Only had about a week or so. After reading the reviews I was concerned about noise so many reviews talked of, I do not feel this is a issue with these tires. I originally had chose the Premier tire for my vehicle in a H speed rating, but they could not locate them, so They gave me the Defenders for same price. I was impressed with the mileage offered on this V rated tire, a lot more than what I have ever had with other v rated tires I have purchased. Very satisfied with purchase at this point.

Peace of Mind...

These tires were recommended to me when I was shopping around for new tires. I had mediocre tires placed on my van the last time and was wanting to be safe as a single parent with small children. I could not be happier with these. They costed more, yes, but the peace of mind these tires bring is worth the cost, bar none. Living in the midwest good snow tires are mandatory. I am not disappointed in the least with my investment. THANK YOU MICHELIN!!!!

Got Good Grip

We purchased these new tires to prepare for winter. Though the snow has not yet arrived, I can feel a better grip for the road as I drive down the highway. The ride is smooth, and I am confident that these tires will carry my family safely through all of the seasons.

The best tire ever!

The Michelin Defenders are the best tire you can put on your car. I have noticed a big change in my vehicles handling of the road-almost like its a new car. My car accelerates and stops ten times better than before, and it doesn't matter if its raining. My gas mileage is better and my brakes don't work as hard. I recommend this tire to anyone who wants to feel like they're in control of the road.

Great Tire

I purchased my Defender tires about a year ago. They had a great review in a popular magazine. I am very pleased with the safety I feel with the tires, the ride and the stopping distance. They are a bit hard on the bumps but excellent in the turns. I would recommend them to a friend.

Great Tires!

Really quiet and comfortable ride with these Defender tires. These tires give a great ride with minimal road noise, and since the tire is a bit soft, handling is exceptional. I hope to get the high mileage wear that the dealer said I should expect-maybe 80k. I would highly recommend this tire--I drive a Lexus HS 250 H and these are a perfect fit for the car.

Rated at 70,000...need to replace @ 35,700

I rotated these tires every 6000 miles and checked the inflation frequently but all I could get was 35,700 miles. I was expecting 55,000 but apparently that was a high expectation. I now need to replace them, but with what brand? I have been running Michelin for 45 years and love the ride but this tire isn't cheap and having to replace them every 2 years is ridiculous. I'm very disappointed in Michelin.

So far so great

We love this tire. There is one tire that will not balance correctly and the van get vibration at 60mph. But there is no uneven wear on the tires. We took a trip to TN recently and hit some very heavy rain. The tires did great. We were passing other cars that had to slow down because of deeper water on the roads, but the tires tread pattern helped us make it through with out hydroplanning at all.
