Perfect All-weather tire

I put these tires on my Mustang due to it's light weight and our four season weather. This week was their first test in snow. I had no problem driving in slush, snow, or slick roads. Car handled better than i expected. No sliding, or spinning from a dead stop. I would recommend these for any car front- or rear-wheel drive.

No tire purchase other than Michelin.

Since purchasing Michelin tires during the past several years, I've found them to be the best tires I've owned. Great handling on the road, no zinging in the tires. Of course, I have tire rotations done on a timely basis which is required to ensure life of tires.

Immediate improvement

The tires were mounted on my 2009 Ford Fusion and I immediately noticed an improvement in the ride and handling. I only have a few hundred miles on the tires so I can't attest to the claim of increased gasoline mileage, but I am very pleased with the tires and Michelin as a company.

I must defend the defender

My wife and I have been putting miles on these tires and the tread is just as tall as when we first purchased these tires. Road noise, Handling, Manueverability, Comfort, Breaking and overall Piece of Mind are excellent with these Michelin Defenders.

Game changer

I purchased these tires late last year for my 2000 Nissan Sentra, and from the moment I first drove on them, it was clearly an improved driving experience. These tires simply grip the pavement in a way that my prevous tires did not. I am able to stop short more reliably, and slippage on damp pavement is greatly reduced. I would gladly recommend these tires to all.

"Ride smoothly and quietly"

I purchased these tires to drive from DC to SLC, Utah and it was the most pleasant drive because of the lack of road noise and the soft, smooth ride the tires provided. I love the ride provided by the Michelin tires that I purchased and would recommend them to anyone and especially to my best friend.

Atttttttt Tire!!!

These tires were a replacement for original tires that came on my 300. I drive about 750 miles every 2 weeks for my job. They are superb and drive quieter and smoother than what came on the car. I love these tires and am very pleased with my purchase.

Great Tire

These tires have been flawless but for the occasional road hazard that have nothing to do with their performance. They handle well in rain, snow and higher speeds. As long as your due diligence is maintained by proper rotate and balance these tires will get you every bit of 80,000+ miles. Thanks Michelin...

Even More than the quality expected

These tires provided more quality and performance than I could have imagined. Traction, comfort, and quietness for my vehicle were clear from the first moments on the road. My vehicle was a great ride before. Yet, with the defender tires made it even that much better. I know of the difference one can expect from replacing tires. I drive a lot and have the experience to back up my review. Later, as I have encountered road repairs, the performance meets the claims of Michelin. Bravo / Brava !

Michelin is still the tire to beat

The tires on my car were original when the car was new. At 38,000 they needed to be replaced. I have preferred Michelin tires in the past but since I had not purchased new tires in about 5 years I opted to research what is available on the market today. I checked 6 different brands of tires I am familiar with and chose to buy the Defenders not because of my bias for Michelin but because they just topped the others in the areas that are important to me: reliability, durability, road handling and quietness of ride. I have had the tires on my car for three weeks now and I am very pleased with them, they handle wet and dry roads as well as I expected and are decidedly quieter than the tires I had. I am confident in the tires and confident the company will stand solidly behind them for the length of mileage they are guaranteed for. In two weeks I will be relacing tires on another of my cars, I have already picked out the Michelin model I intend to purchase.
