I bought these on 9/14 and I remember noticing how much more quite and smooth the ride was on my 2010 Prius. I am now on this site because I finally got around to registering my tires, went to check on them and they look good. I have driven about 10,000 miles so far and I don't have any issues or complaints. I'm not as organized of a person or as easy going as the average Prius driver, I tend to drive hard everyday on my everyday 55 mile commute. I also remember complaining about how loud the road noise was before I got my Michelins, I don't any more. MPG is about the same as the OEM's. Maybe they are not as great as some people expect them to be but they are much better than I had so I am happy.

Buying tires is a stressful task for a senior citizen. I reviewed the types of tires recommended for my SUV and then zeroed in on 2 or 3 tire models. Read the reviews on all, and the Michelin Defender came out on top. Have been extremely pleased with the performance, ride, wearability so far! This was a great purchase! Thank you.

I Have not had Michelin tires for many years until I bought them last August. Great tire. have driven 18000 miles in my 2007 Saturn KR .(90000 miles at purchase) very quiet, tremendous in the rain and secure feeling on dry pavement. I am very satisfied so much so I hope to be a Michelin owner for many more years. thanks for a great product

These tires went on my 1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme. They deliver a beautiful smooth,quiet,comfortable ride,also very responsive, drives like a brand new car! When my wifes Silverado needs tires, Michelins will be going on that too. Do yourself a favor,do not waste a bunch of research time,just buy Michelin knowing you are buying the best tire on the market. Nobody else even comes close.

I purchased these tires less than 2 years ago and only have 20,000 miles on them. The measured tread depth is is only 7/'32 and they are "worn" so they will need to be replaced very soon. .I have taken care of them @ the dealership with regular rotations & alignments . The tires require air in them every 3 weeks & the the road noise is terrible. I am very unhappy and dissatisfied with these tires. I will never buy Michelin tires again. How disappointing because Michelin use to have good tires that would last.

This is the first time I've ever actually noticed a difference in the ride, handling and quietness of any tire I've ever purchased. I've bought tires for myself and family for a long time and do check into the specs of a tire. With these tires I could tell driving home after the install that they were a change for the better. So far they are the best tires I've ever owned. I will be getting the Defender tire for my wife's car when she needs them in a few months.

This a a great tire for a great car. I live in Illinois where extreme weather is the norm. I replaced the tires on my 09 Fit with Michelin Defenders and notice an immediate improvement in my car's already superb handling on virtually all of Illinois' road conditions -- rough, wet, snow and ice. This is a year-round vehicle, and the combination of car and tires gets us where we need to go. This was the right tire, at the right price, to complement an already fun-to-drive car in both urban and highway environments.

Tires are on my 2004 VW Passat with 118,000 miles on it. I expect the new Defender tires to be the last (or next to last) tires I have to put on the car. The car holds the road noticeably better. My wife even commented on how much better the car holds the road. The stopping distance also seems to be shorter and more secure. The only negative is that the road noise is somewhat louder and the ride is a little harsher. Initially, that bothered me, but because of the 30 days allowed to return the tires under Michelin's warrantee, I decided to wait a couple of weeks to see if I got used to the noise and ride before deciding to keep the tires or not. Within the first two or three weeks, after driving in the rain, in heavy traffic, fast, slow, and on various road surfaces, I decided that the trade off of better road grip and shorter stopping distances more than make up for a bit more road noise and harder ride.

I use these tires on a Ford Taurus and find them to be the perfect combination of smooth ride and secure traction. They really grab the road and are superb when braking on wet roads. My mileage showed noticeable improvement. I couldn't be happier with the quality. These were recommended to me my tire dealer who I have dealt with for 25 years.

This tire is ok, though it does not ride as well as the original Michelin's on my Honda Accord. It is both a harder ride and noisier. I did buy them to last longer since the other MV4's wore out very quickly, though I have not had them long enough to know.
