Feel safer!

My VUE was at 30,000 and the original OEM tires needed to be replaced. This is the first time that I have purchased replacement tires, and the first time I have ever driven with Michelin tires. I did research reviews online before I decided, and liked the ratings and comments. We live in Florida, and have frequent brief showers. My old originals were prone to skidding and hydroplaning. Drove the vehicle out, and later that first day, we had a brief rain shower; a red light and a quick stop. I was amazed at the difference. The car stopped in a much shorter distance, smoothly (no jerk or grab), and felt secure. I am most impressed, and have no complaints. Thank you for a great product.

best tires i have ever bought

these tires ride grate rolls over the bumps with ease. I live in a wintery area and they did very well in snowy conditions. I've had them now almost two years they still ride nice and have showed almost no ware with about 20,000 miles on them. I would buy another set in a hart beat.

I WOULD RECOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANY ONE

I BOUGHT THESE TIRES FOR MY 1986 MERCEDES-BENZ 300SDL. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 187,571 MILES ON IT . I PLAN ON DRIVING IT TO 1 MILLION MILES. I BOUGHT THE MICHELIN'S BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY WILL LAST. I AM ALSO VERY PLEASE WITH THE QUIETNESS OF THESE TIRES AND THE SMOOTH RIDE. NOTHING BUT THE THE BEST FOR THE BENZIE! IWILL REPORT BACK AFTER ANOTHER 90K MILES ON THE NEW TIRES THANKS

Loud and hydroplanes

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.

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.

Excellent tire!!

I am a 30 year Mercedes Benz technician and I drive a 1985 Mercedes Benz 300D with 389,000 miles on the chassis, all of the suspension has been rebuilt in recent years so she rides pretty good. I have had several other makes if tires in years past with varying degrees of satisfaction and I have recently switched to Michelin Defender series tires. They have been on my car for almost a year now, approximately 14,000 miles, and are doing great!! I could not be happier. They ride well, not noisy, not too soft or firm, and corner better than any tire I have had on the car since i purchased the car in 1997, with 172,000 miles on it.

You REALLY got it right with this one!

This is the best tire I've EVER had on a car. It's mounted on an older, big, rear drive cruiser that I put lots of miles on traveling yearly. I was one of the first buyers of these tires in my tire shop and I'm really glad I did. They are quiet, smooth riding and provide plenty of traction in snow, on rainy roads and on ice covered roads. My gas mileage has also improved. I would recommend these tires to anyone.!!

Michelin Defender saves me money!

My Prius has gained 3-4 mpg since I replaced all 4 of my tires recently. Michelin came on the car new, but cheaper is not always better when replacing your tires. I changed brands and found out the mileage was never as good with that brand, so back to Michelin I went and have never been happier. Michelin, you are the best! Keep making the quality tire and I will keep them on my cars.

Strikingly good performer

The Defender is my first Michelin purchase, a replacement set for a Honda SUV. Most notable characteristic is the smooth ride, unexpected for a 90,000 mile tire. The tires are also quieter than the two previous sets I had for this vehicle, but there is no compromise in handling. The Defender is not the most expensive tire I examined before this purchase, but it is the best tire purchase I ever made. Gas mileage is almost 10% better than before.

"Michelin are the only tires we buy

Quality, long lasting, reliable, great ride, made in United States of America. Michelin beats all other tires hands down and are the only tires we have installed on our vehicles. Very pleased with Michelin tires. We just replaced original tires that were Michelin with new Michelin.
