Back with a winner

I was persuaded to buy another brand last time I got tires. What a mistake. From that day forward my mini van handled poorly. Within a year, the van had a severe radial pull. I put up with these tires for 25K. They still had about 20K left to go but I just couldn't stand it anymore. I went back to Michelin tires and immediately noticed the difference in ride and handling. My mini van no longer pulls to the right or wanders all over the road. The difference was so dramatic that I had to come right home and write a review. I won't be dissuaded from Michelin again.

Love these tires!

These tires are passing the test of Wisconsin winters with flying colors! I've been driving on dry, wet, snow-covered and icy roads with these tires and they've handled great. I kept waiting to slide or fishtail (even though I drive safely) because we've had some nasty weather but I only slid a little once, trying to slow for a turn and that was after an ice storm and I an still so impressed despite that. I will recommend them to all my friends and I'm recommending them to you too!

Michelin Makes Music

I replaced the original tires on my vehicle with Michelin Defenders and was amazed by how much quieter they are. I can hear the music on the sound system now! They are also much more comfortable to ride on with the added bonus of making the car much easier to control through braking and steering. I can't imagine ever buying anything but Michelin again.

Superior

I've purchased Michelin tires since I've been married, and that's been 22 years. My believe in your tires so much, there on all 3 of my children's cars. I even got my mother in law started buying them. Yes they cost more, but well worth it safety is always first.

Like Riding on a Cloud

The Michelin Defenders were installed on a GMC Canyon pickup 2 weeks ago. This has been the smothest ride, with excellent traction and handling that I have ever experienced. I cannot imagine a tire that could perform any better than the Defender. We have MXV4's on a 2009 Buick Lucerne and MS2's on a 2000 Ford E350 Van. The Defender is an incredible Tire.

Review Your Michelin Tires

My new Michelin tires have made my car feel new!!! the ride is smoother, it handles so much better and I feel safer while driving. I have always used Michelin tires on our Trucks, our cars & trailers. Wouldn't use any other tire...regardless of sales prices. Thank you!!!

Quiet, Sleek, and Round

To start my last mini-van had Michelin Primacy tires and I loved them. I kept up on the rotations and they ran quiet and smooth. I sold my old van and picked up a newer one and with the tires on it going old I put Michelin tires on again, this time the Defender. So far they are holding up just as well. Quiet and smooth with all the grip I need to get through good weather and bad. I've used cheaper tires in the past and they either wore out fast, got noisy, or lost their grip on the road. Haven't had that yet with Michelin tires, well worth the price. Whatever you do keep them rotated every 5000 miles and they will treat you nice, otherwise the front tires wear out on the edges faster (due to turning) and the back tires cup (flat spots that makes noise at highway speeds). No brand is free of these problems if you don't rotate front to back.

I ONLY put MICHELIN tires on my mini van

When I became a grandmother, I had to have a new mini van. The first thing that had to go was the new tires that came on the van. I wanted the best tires I could purchase for the safety of my grandchildren. My choice was MICHELIN and no other. My grandkids have grownup. I still have the same mini van. I just bought my second set of tires. My choice was MICHELIN and no other. The best and safest tires are MICHELIN. Own a set of MICHELIN tires, and experience the superior handling in all weather conditions. MICHELIN will be your tire choice forever!

Outstanding performance and treadwear

Installed a set of Defenders on an '05 Accord, ran them for about 10k miles, then moved them over to a '12 Civic, and have put another 10k on them so far. Tires have almost no visible wear so far, and are outstanding in the dry and the wet. By far the best Michelin all-season tire I've run over the last 30 years!

Michelin makes the best tires

I had new tires from a major brand on my used Odyssey when I bought it a year ago. Nice to have new tires, I thought. But a few months ago I started having trouble with front end shimmy, steering wheel shaking, vibration at many speeds, and I thought the front end was going out. But a mechanic showed me that a tire was "bad." I took it to tire dealer who replaced it for free. The steel belt was shifting. All tires were at least 1.5 oz off balance. After three rebalances, lasting as little as three days, I got frustrated... If I can't drive three days without rebalancing tires something's wrong. So I replaced all four with the best tires I know of, Michelin. Then drove 2000 miles in a few days and the Michelins were perfect. I expect them to stay so for their warranty period, 90,000 miles, like all my other Michelins over the years. They are more expensive but definitely worth it, for peace of mind. Good tires are cheap insurance. These are great in ice and snow in Wyoming and Colorado.
