RAIN SAFETY WAS MY GOAL

Amazing night and day difference between the other Brand X and a Micheline Defender tire. I feel so much better with my 75 round trip commute. In the heavy rains here in Florida my little Civic doesn't budge on the road or hydroplane, like it used to. I will definitely spend the extra $100 and get these tires again. Wished I would of wised up sooner, but later is better than never. I know it is hard to believe but my body is not as tired when I get off the road either. Thank you also for having such a great service staff. What great customer service, and my tires were on in less than 35 minutes, that is what I call service with a smile.

Michelin Tires are the Best!

We just purchased 4 new Michelin Defender tires for our '07 Honda Accord Hybrid with 160,000 miles. We were replacing 4 well used Michelin Harmony tires that had served us well. The Harmony brand has been retired and the Defender is one of the recommended replacements. We trust the Michelin brand and have used them exclusively in our many Honda vehicles. This new Defender is a fine tire. On the 35 mile ride home from the Dealer, I was pleaseed to notice that the car rode more quitely, softened bumps and irregularities and handled the curves and corners beautifully. We highly recommend Michelin tires for quality, safety & dependability.

Good tires but Harmony were better

I am a mail carrier and purchased a full set of Defender tires in April. With the miles I put on my car, I wear a set out faster than the average driver. I had bought two used 25% tread Harmony tires a while back to get me by until I could get a full set, and they lasted longer than my other brand's NEW tires did. I was so impressed with them that I bought a full Harmony set when it came time to replace and they lasted 40% longer than my previous brand did for about the same price. I returned to purchase a new set of Harmony tires, but they were discontinued, so I chose the Defender. The Defender tires are higher in price and have a longer mileage warranty, but they are wearing faster than the set of Harmony I had. Good tires but I expected them to be at least as good, if not better, than the Harmony were but they aren't. I am slightly disappointed in them although they are a decent tire. While better than other brands, they are costlier and don't know if I would recommend them to a friend. The Harmony- Yes!! Why is this tire discontinued?

Simply Amazed

I just drove home from having my Defenders installed and in the 10 miles that I drove the car. I actually could feel a significant difference in the ride and sound quality inside the car. I previously had the Michelin tires that came with the car new and they far exceeded their warranty period for me. With the warranty period the Defenders come with, these could quite possibly be my last set of tires I buy for my car. Thanks Michelin.

Good tire at a good price

I have had these tires on my Honda Odyssey for about 3 months (about 4,000 miles) and so far they have performed admirably. I replaced my original Michelin's which had a 50K mileage rating with the Defenders that have a 75K rating and they were a bit cheaper than the OEM tires. Purchasing them was a no-brainer and so far they are so good!

Great Buy

This tires are great. I could immediately notice the difference between my earlier tires and Michelin tires. The ride is smooth road grip is good and the road noise is greatly reduced. My next buy would be from Michelin and I would definitely recommend this product to my friends.

Tough as iron

Living in Seattle, I push these tires hard through rain, slush, ice, snow, and hot rough pavement. Was hpoing my gas mileage would improve with these tires but it didn't. Am thrilled with the durability and grip in all weather conditions. I have 100% confidence driving on these tires!

One of the Best

I use the product by having all 4 tires installed on my Probe. What can I say about a tire. It's round. (Except when it runs over a nail - then it is flat on the bottom.) It gets me from point A to point B, never complains, never needs a coffee break, and never asks for a raise. But seriously, when it's time to buy a new set of tires, I always choose tires manufactured by Michelin. After driving almost 500,000 miles, I can say with certainty that Michelin makes the best tires.

Michelin Man is my guy!!!

In the recent past I was "talked into trying" another brand of tires. After several cross country trips I knew that I had to return to my dependable Michelins...I had always had Michelins and even bragged about them so much that several family members switched to the Michelin brand. To make a long story short...I am a woman shopper on a budget. At the tire store I was led to a tire and told, "But, really Miss, this tire is in your price range and rides like a Michelin." Finally, I said, "Yes, I am a woman and I am not an expert on cars, but I know the tire I want and I want Michelins!" The Defender has made my little Corolla ride as smooth as silk and I could not be happier with my purchase!! To the women shoppers out there...do not be swayed when you know what you want. My Michelins have always given a dependable, reliable, safe, comfortable ride. After my Defenders were installed I decided to take advantage of a rainstorm we were having. I drove on the Interstate and also down a small country backroad and they handled superbly! I will never own another brand of tire but Michelins...they are much more dependable, and cost efficient when you look at the big picture. Granted, because I am on a very tight budget I was only able to purchase the two rear tires, but I am saving my pennies, and next month I will purchase the two for the front. This will only improve the ride and drive of my little car so much that I might have to take another long road trip. How could I have forgotten this very important fact...these Defender tires are 100% more quiet than my other tires. I highly recommend Michelin Defenders. If you are a lady shopper, please do not go into the tire shop saying, "I need new tires, but I don't know anything about tires." You need the best...Michelins!
