Well worth the money

Been 3000 miles now on Defender LTX 265/70/17 for my 2013 Tahoe LT and I love these tires! In the first 500 miles had two 6+" snows and I could not believe how great they handle the snow. Was like driving on dry pavement. No slip, slide or anything. And these tires are so quiet on the interstate.

Lasted Less than 4 Yrs/57k Miles

Great performance and traction, but they won't come close to lasting 90k miles. Michelin has stipulations for warranty claim like rotating tires every 6k - 8k miles regardless if the tire wear is even. My tires were wearing evenly, but I didn't have documentation that showed rotation every ~7k miles

They will not last the advertised mileage

I have 26000 miles on these tires and they are already down to 6/32. This means that in about 19000 or much less (the thread is going much faster now) more miles, or a total mileage of less than 45000, I will reach the "replace tire" level of 3/32. This car is mainly driven by my wife who is a very gentle driver. These are my second set of Defenders with the same problem. I believe I will not buy Michelin next time.

Exceed Expetations

Put a set of Defenders on our Camry just under three years ago. The tires met our expectations with road noise, handling and wear. At 105,600 miles later, I am shopping for another set. There is no tire on the market to get 105k miles. Worth every penny!

Good replacement choice

I replaced the OEM tires on my 2011 Kia Optima at 36,000 miles. The defenders were far quieter, smoother and had better traction. I traded the car at 75,000 miles and the tires were less than half worn out. I plan on replacing the tires on my 2016 CRV with them when the OEM get worn out. Smoothest and best wearing tires I have ever had.

Just Purchased

I just purchased four new Defenders to replace the Primacy that I had on my Lexus LS430. The Defenders look great and really nice smooth quiet ride those far.

Awesome ride!

We just put them on my daughter's 2009 Altima last night and as I drove home there was NO tire noise like the previous tires were doing. I even noticed better stopping power and acceleration. All of my cars ride on Michelin.

So Far So Good

I purchased Michelin Defender Tires in April for a Nissan Rogue and have recently completed a 700+ km trip. The weather we went through included light snow, rain, wet roads and dry conditions and my tires performed as well as I expected. We had a completely comfortable quiet ride and the tires hugged the road. Very satisfied so far.

Great Choice

I had come to the tire store to purchase new tires and was SURPRISED to learn that my tire was dangerously worn. I was shown many different brands and types and was immediately drawn to Michelin Tires because my Father always said Michelin is a brand to trust. I purhased the Defender and was entirely satisfied with my choice.

the jury is out...

The recent purchase of a set of Defender tires for our family's Volkswagen Passat has gone well so far. I am waiting for the first rotation to tell me how well they are wearing due to cornering (front wheel drive; primary concern). For me, the Michelin tire has always been a good, long-wearing, product and I am anticipating the same here. The tire, and installation by local dealer, seemed to be a reasonable compromise between price and quality. The local dealer, along with Michelin, has always provided use with exceptional service and I don't see anything happening that would be different this time.
