I am never disappointed in the performance of a Michelin tire. These tires hug the road around sharp curves, or when it is raining or snowing. The ride is so much smoother as compared to other brands of tires. Best of all, I feel safer in my car because of the way these tires handle. I feel a security in Michelin that I have not felt with other tires. Thank you Michelin.

My new car came with Michelin tires on it and the ride was incredible! That's why when it came time to replace my original tires I opted to spend the extra money and get Michelin Defender tires. This was an awesome decision as the ride continues to be exceptional! If you have the resources to purchase Michelin tires for your vehicle I highly reccommend them! You will not be disappointed!!

Spent top dollar for a top rated tire! the 90K tread wear warranty is a Joke ! I currently have 30K on these and they are almost gone ! very unsafe tire in the Minnesota winter SHAME ON YOU Michelin! I will never buy another set of Michelin Brand again!

Had 4 new Defender's put on my Malibu last Aug.(2012). Alignment and balancing. Drove 53 miles from Crystal River, FL to New Port Richey, FL home. My car flew. I won't tell you how fast I drove as it is a personal thing. Believe me when I say no one was in front of me all the way. Left for Clearwater, FL the next day with my daughter. Rain started and in this area, when it rains it pours. Rain came fast and hard sideways in the road. A car pulled out in front of me and I locked em up! I stopped that car on a dime, literally, stopped on the spot. I was traveling 60 at the time. From 60 to 0. Water on the pavement and the pavement was hot with at least 3 inches of standing water. This is Aug. again and my daughter drove me to the Dr. today as I was not feeling well, as I am 74.11/12yrs. LOL She turned to me after a few curves and turns and said, "wow your car handles great, I need this car". I told her, " it was not the car it is the tires". She said, "your kidding! Right"? "NO NOT KIDDING"! They are that great and now she is going to buy some. They grab the pavement when hot and slippery or cold, exactly the same. Great mileage after mounting. I will tell everyone and anyone who drives fast or takes long trips, buy, they pay for themselves. Thank you for the opportunity to share this information.

These 4 tires are the best Michelins I have had on my vehicle. This is the third set of Michelins, the other two were Hydro Edge, which were excellent as well but did not give the nice ride like these Defenders. The other wonderful difference in these Defender tires is that my minivan handles like it has never handled before in the 22 years I have owned it, since it was brand new. I hope Michelin continues to make the Defender.

Although I am retired, I drive every day sometimes hundreds of miles. My Defenders are reliable always providing a smooth ride even in the rain. Safety is very important to me; I always feel safe in my Defenders. They have never let me down not even when I've had to slam on the breaks or drive in a heavy downpour. They also perform well on dirt roads. I will definitely buy Michelins again.

I drive all over town everyday,so I put a lot of miles and wear and tear on my tires. The defender series is great for fuel efficiency and on all types of terrain. They also arre fantastic in all types of weather. They have great traction for stop and go traffic. All and all I have and will continue to buy the Defender series of tires for my car again and again!

I purchased these tires in June of 2013 and absolutely love them! The ride and the quietness of the the tires are unreal. It made a huge difference on my Ford Freestar van. The week after the tires were installed we took a trip to Pensacola FL from Atlanta, GA and the van seemed to ride like new again! What a difference some good tires make. Thanks Michelin!!

excellent all-around tire

I bought these tires and 4 days lafter we had 6 to 8 inches of snow . They performed excellent. I passed a few people in the ditch.
