Didn't last 90,000 miles

I love Michelin products, but these tires didn't last as long as expected. I was told more city driving decreases the total miles the tires will last. They did last me 4 years which is a long time in the Texas heat. But they are down to 2/32 and had to be replaced. I will say that while I owned them there was never a problem. Just would have liked them better if they had lasted longer.

Mileage Warranty Does not Jive

Had Michelin tires my entire life. Bought these tires through local dealer in 2014. Took exceptional care of the tires, balance and rotated every 3000 miles from day one. Constantly checking air pressure. Took car in for rotation and rebalance with less than 43000 miles on tires only to find out tires are within 1/32 of being wore out. They only registered 3/32 on all tires. These are 90000 mile tires highway driven daily. What a joke!!

No good in the snow

I have a long driveway, 200 feet, and everytime it snows I always get stuck on my driveway. I can never make it up my driveway. As far as any other weather, the tires are very good. They are very quiet. They are good for highway driving. I get my tires rotated every 5000 miles. I have the tires now for one year and eight months. If it wasn't for the problem in the snow and getting up my driveway, I would get these tires again..

Got only 41k miles, not close to warranty

Purchased 4 Defender tires 10/13/2012 for Toyota Seinna LE van which had 28763 miles on odometer. Tires have been rotated every oil change. The last oil change, 03/2017 at 69,517 mile on odometer, tread wear measurments on all 4 tires indicate replacement depth. Driving habits are less than average. Tires were good but not the tread wear. Won't replace them with Michelin tires this time.

LeSabre vibration
5 out of 5 stars review

Stopped vibration on 2005 LeSabre. Excellent tires

Had a wave vibration on our 2005 LeSabre. Bought another brand of tires and had them balanced twice. Could not get rid of the vibration. Swapped the tires out for Michelin defenders and no more vibration. The car is perfectly smooth. Very happy w these tires.

Quite, Good Handling

My cat's tires are more than six years old. My car's previous owner did not rotate the tires for a long time, and the front tires are worn much more than the back ones. After rotating the tires by myself, it was to my surprise that the car runs so much better. That is why I decided to buy a brand new, good set of tires for my summer road trip . Runs like a dream. Very quiet. No more noise when full turning. It also accelerates and brakes faster. As said by many car channels on Youtube, a good set of tires is probably the best investment you make on your car.

Great Handling for a Long Lasting Tire

My minivan has a history of going through tires quickly, even tires with long warranties. These Michelin Defenders are wearing very well and should go the distance. An unexpected benefit has been the great handling of the tires. They have really made my old van a pleasure to drive again, as the steering is more responsive and the van just feels more stable when turning.

Great Tire

We put these Tires on our Service Van at our Nursing Home. The van is used to take people to appointments. These were put on nearly 4 years ago. We have approximately 75, 000 miles on them. We do run nitrogen in the tires. We will be replacing them soon with the exact same tire. We highly recommend this tire.

Great Ride

We could feel a difference in the ride. It's all the good things quieter, smoother, solid steering, better handling in the rain.
