great tire

My first set of Michelins was the Hydro Edge and I loved them. Michelin replaced the Hydro Edge with the Defender and have kept the high level quality in these tires. I had one set one a Camry and got just under 90k miles on them. I had another set on my Civic and had 92k miles on them. The tires still had thread left, but I knew I would need a set before next winter. I replaced the tires on both cars recently and purchased another set of Defenders.

So Far ... Great!

Honda dealer, and a friend, recommended Michelin Defender when I needed a new set of tires a couple of months ago. So far I believe I am getting 2-3 MPG better than previous Michelins, and the ride is as good or better. I look forward to the long wear Michelin suggests I will get ... I don't view most manufacturer promises with optimism, but Michelin gets good marks in my book!

Smooth and Stable

So far so good . 2000 Park Ave...Smooth quiet and it has some good handling feel to them. Shall I say a stable feel. I took off another name brand for these.The competitor tires seemed too soft and seemed to viberate/spongie. The defender took care of that. It also seems as the wet traction is very good also..that was a key factor for a Excellent rating....I run winter snows

Michelin is the ONLY tire! The BEST

I have had Michelin tires on all my cars since 1991. I have never had a problem with them until I had a 1999 Park ave, which had Michelins put on them at 43 miles when the car was new. The tires only lasted until 103,000 miles when the right front tire give out. I think I got my monies worth dont you? Why would you want any other brand tire??

High rating well deserved

Placed the new tires on my older van I use to go back and forth to work. 3 miles of rock and gravel then 17 miles of hwy. Been a wet spring and summer. Lot's of mud then wet hwy. Tires have been great. Improved handling and comfort of the ride in an older vehicle. Please buy these tires.

THE TIRE YOU CAN TRUST

WE HAVE BEEN MICHELIN CUSTOMERS FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. OUR OLDEST CAR NOW HAS BEEN ON MICHELIN'S SINCE IT'S NEW YEAR OF BIRTH, (2000). THIS YEAR WE GOT A NEW SET OF DEFENDERS BECAUSE WE LOVE EVERYTHING IN TERMS OF TRUST IN OUR MICHELINS. COST IS REASONABLE FOR THE PEACE OF MIND YOU RECEIVE BY HAVING GOOD, RELIABLE TIRES YOU CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING. I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND MICHELINS TO ANYONE WANTING QUALITY AND SAFETY. DRIVE SAFE!

Great Ride, Great Deal, Great Confidence

Worn out original equipment tires sent me to look for a better, longer-lasting tire. My dealer suggested Michelins. What a difference! My car responds incredibly well to handling, does not hydroplane on wet roads...and it has been through several "gully-washers". Although they are a bit noisier than the original tires, the handling differences far outweigh that minor difference...and probably account for it! So...game on with the confidence my Michelins give me!

I recommend Michelin Tires!

I love Michelin Tires as they have always stood behind their product. My first set was HydroEdge and when I had a problem they gave me a new tire for free. This is my first set of Defenders but I am very confident that I will not have any issues and should any arise I know Michelin will be there to help me.

never had smooth riding tire @35,000 mil

I drive my car 26 miles a day to work and many sharp curves on the way to work. My car has 350,000 miles on it (Honda Accord) and we have never had anything but Michelin tires on it. Even with parts getting worn on the car the tires are still great. They have about 35,000 miles on them and they still ride as smooth as they did when they were new. I would recommend them to anyone.

Wore out with less than 40,000 miles

These tires wore out premature. Michelin have soft rubber for better handling but softer rubber does provide for longevity. It is a trade off. Michelin Man has best name but worst longevity!! I won't be being ant Michelin ever again. It is for the rich man. Price is great, performance is average-longevity is low.
