Very happy with decision to go with these. For the same price as other similar tires you get 30% more claimed tread wear. Hope that is true, as my Odyssey cews up tires faster than any other car I've owned. Sound from the tire is quiet, subtle, muffled, dull and overall very quiet...and that's with the windows open. Ride is very comfortable absorbing poor road conditions very well. For a normal vehicle, like my Odyssey, for daily driving around of my family, this set of tires is super easy to live with.

I was looking for a good all-a-round tire, like the Hydroedge I have on my van. This seems to be the next best for my use. Great in the wet as well as the dry. The wear has been fine as if I gcould tell with 10K on them so far. Would buy them again. 09 Subaru outback 5 speed.

2008 Nissian Altima Coupe. These tires ride nice, very little road noise and have performed well in the snow so far this winter. Big sell point is 90,000 mile tread warrenty, I drive 25-30 thousand miles a year so the yearly cost of the tires is well worth the cost.

Purchased a full set of Defenders for my 2007 Honda Civic EX Sedan on April 8, 2013. I immediately noticed a difference in handling and noise with these tires. The ride home from the tire shop was wonderful. After a minor adjustment to the alignment, the tire drives great. However, I have experienced a significant drop in FE. Old tires were getting on average 33 to 34 MPG. These tires have dropped to 30 MPG. I commute 320 miles per week between work and home, all highway miles. This drop in mileage is concerning. I'm thinking about switching out the tires at this point. The 90K warranty and noise reduction were the selling points for me but this drop in FE could be a deal breaker. Michelin claims I should notice an improvement in mileage according to the product description but I am not experiencing this at all.

I brought a set of these tires this spring and outside of picking up a nail in one of them i've had no problems. They make my ride feel smooth I would recommend them to family and friends. I haven't had a set of michelin tires before and will consider them in the future.

I was disappointed to learn that the Michelin Hydro Edge tires were being replaced with the Defenders. But after 10,000 miles on the Defenders, I believe they are actually a smoother and quieter tire than even the Hydro Edge tires were. With proper rotating and balancing my last set of Michelins lasted over 124,000 miles which can be verified by my tire dealer. I believe the Defenders may be every bit as good as my last set.

I have had these tires on for almost 1 week. A big difference with the Honda CR-V original tires. The sales person said these were quiet and he was right. I got the 255/65R17's on all four. I'd love to see how they handle in the winter months even though I have all wheel drive. Great tire.. :-)

I have been running these tires for two months in winter driving. I am very happy with the snow and ice traction. They are quiet and smooth on dry pavement as well. The original Michelins that I replaced on my Honda Odyssey lasted 67,000 miles, so I will definitly stay with Michelin tires.

People who drive Volvo are usually quite adept at using that vehicle for just about anything. Their requirement for a tire that can match that is why I recomment the Defender for all models. My business is keeping the cars running and I've never seen one on Defenders that didn't surprise me as to how well the tire holds up under the most extreme abuse...rough dirt roads and more. We are located in the Mojave Desert of California and the roads here can be quite a challenge. The Defender meets that challenge.

These tires are fantastic and well worth the investment! Not my first set of Michelins's, I have been very satisfied with ALL my Michelin purchases, these tires are no exception. Quiet, road hugging and stable over rough road. We'll see how they last over many thousands of miles. I am VERY happy with these tires.
