decent tires

Got Michelin Defenders installed on my 50,000 mile Honda Accord in February and noticed the difference right away. Of course, I didn't realize how bad the Honda stock tires on the car were and we had a huge snow/ice storm that day. The car was a million times better in the snow and ice; but, it wasn't like it was perfect. However, these are all season tires not snow tires. They were pretty expensive but so far I am pleased. I would say on a scale of 1-10 I am a 7.5 right now, with the potential to go up. I will say that I thought it would be an enormous difference from old tires and it is substantial, but for the $ I am wondering if another brand would have been better?

Michelin Defender

I am a big fan of Michelin tires! Yes, the cost more but well worth the extra money. They ride so much better than any other tire I've ever had. In the last 12 moths I have purchased 3 sets of Michelin tires. My daily driver is a 2000 Mercedes E320 Wagon and I will not purchase any other tire for this car, seems to be a perfect fit. I've recently purchased the new Defender tires for my wife's Honda van. She has done about 5-7K on them and they ride AWESOME! I want to make sure that my wife and kids are safe and having those tires on her van gives me that exta assurance. If you're in the market for new tires...buy Michelin!

smooth as glass

I had four Defenders installed on my new Chevrolet Cruize about thirteen months ago. I noticed they were quieter and smoother than the factory tires. I rotate them every oil change and maintain tire pressure and the tread wear is even all around. I have put about 37, 000 miles on them and see no problem for at least another yeat. Thanks Dave Larson

Exceptional tire

Spent a little more than buying another brand online. I'm very glad that I purchased these tires for my wife's van. A noticable improvement in steering response, mpg(~+1), braking and ride. These replaced older Symmetrys. Quieter as well. I would definately recommend the Defender, especially if you place emphasis on the safety of your family. Thank you Michelin!

best of the best

We are very pleased with our new Michelin Defenders. Our gas mileage has improved ,we are getting 4-5 more miles per gallon of gas. the tires are quieter allowing us to enjoy our sound system. Handling has improved greatly We assured that we are riding on the best tires available for a price we can afford.

Excellent Tire

The Defender provides an exceptionally smooth ride and complete peace of mind as it is a top grade Michelin tire. Grip is excellent and on wet roads there is absolutely no question the tire is in control of the road. Without doubt the best tire I have had on any vehicle in my 51 years of driving!

Just what I expected.

I just got a new rav4. it had tires that the reviews were not to good. went to my local Michelin dealer and asked how much to upgrade? well I did a little research and people were very happy with the defender. well long story short, highway millage was listed on window sticker at 29. the first tank, all highway was 32.19 on paper. not trip computer. this was on winter grade fuel. I plan on doing the same trip with summer grade fuel and expect 34 mpg or better. the lrr Michelin defender was just what I expected. Thanks MICHELIN.

Love my Michelins

These are the 3rd time I bought Michelins. They handle wonderful on the road and in all weather conditions. I bought the Defender's that should last up to 90,000 miles. I know they will last that too, because we have Michelins on another vehicle, the tires (same brand - different model) were to last up to 90,000. We have put over 100,000 miles and there is still a good amount of tread on them. As long as you rotate them, they are true to their warranty. They may be slightly higher than some other brands, but I have tried the other brands and would only get half the mileage out of them - no matter how many miles they said you should get. They are worth every penny! Love my Michelins.

Defender great replacement for Hydroedge

I've had two sets of Hydroedge tires that lasted over 80K miles each and were the best tires I've ever owned. When I learned that the line was no longer available I was upset but the replacement line Defender seems as good a tire as what it replaces. I have one set now and they are providing great wet traction and they are a little quieter. Theyare still practically new so it will be a few years before they show any signs of wear. As always Michelin provides a great product.
