I am a return customer to the Michelin Brand of tires, I have owned 3 sets for 3 different vehicles as of date. I drive a smaller commuter car now and was worried about road noise and comfort of ride, the Michelin Defender Radials that I have purchased have more than satisfied my need for good tires, they are quiet, sturdy, and have and extremely smooth ride even in a smaller vehicle. I am totally pleased with my purchase again, and the other two sets of Michelin tires are still rolling on my other vehicles without incident!

I bought these tires on the recommendation of the company that I had gone to for tire service for 20 years. The ride is really smooth and quiet. I do a fair amount of highway driving and it is nice to have the quietness. I was in a near accident the day after I bought them and the tires really held the road when I stomped on the break. The other car missed me by may two inches. I have no doubt that the other tires that I had on the car would not have kept me out of an accident, but the Michelin Defender tires did. I am happy with them, to say the least.

Replaced two worn out tires with the Michelin Defender tires. I find the Defender provides a smoother and softer ride. I live in Florida and, in the rainy season, the Defender has an amazing grip on the road which certainly increases my sense of safety and peace of mind. Best tires I have ever had!

When I decided on Defender Michelin tires for our Crown Vic, it was after extensive research. Because of the high mileage life of the tire, I had doubts about ride and gasoline efficiency. Big surprise - I actually found that everything about this tire is a good ride, good mileage (30 on the highway) and we drive this car over 25,000 miles annually commuting and traveling through various traffic conditions. Frankly, this tire will replace tires on my other vehicles. You will never go wrong with the Michelin Defender tire!!

Only had these new Defender tires 2 days, so far, in town, on a road trip yesterday and driving around the area.....I am VERY IMPRESSED! Did a lot of research and the tires is already living up to all that you promised! Great handling, I know as I used to race cars, and the comfort is there as promised and now that we are retired and not doing a lot of driving I am sure there will be a lot of tread still on them after the recommended replacement time of 10 years. Thanks for making the greatest tire on the road!

I purchased these tires for my sons vehicle. My husband and I have never bought anything but Michelin tires for our vehicles. So, when my son started driving, we purchased the Defender Tires for his vehicle. It's hard for a parent to let their child drive off in a vehicle, you worry and pray they will return home safe and sound. I knew with tires that have kept us safe over 30 years, would do the same for him. I truly feel this product kept my son from harm , when he was forced off the road last winter. The car was damaged, but he was without injury ! Thank you for making a product WE CAN RELY ON ! GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

The Defender tires really defend my car from bad weather! After all the rain we have had in Georgia this summer getting the Defender Tires was one of the best things I did this summer! Driving in rain always makes me nervous but with my new Defender tires I can really tell a difference on how well they help grab the road to keep me safe!

At first, I didn't understand why some people said these tires were noisy. I thought maybe they had lemons. After almost a year of use - with regular tire service and rotations, I came to understand. It is almost impossible to hear the radio or hold a conversation while driving on highways or interstates, which is the mainstay of my driving. In city, below 45 mph, they aren't bad, other than that, the noise is ear numbing! I still have plenty of wear of them, but I can't take the noise any longer. Tomorrow, I'm getting them off my van and getting something else.

These tires are all that you could ask. They are great on wet roads and pull well in the snow. They are quiet and ride very smoothly on the highway. The wear characteristics are unbeatable. I tried another cheaper brand tire...never again! I have learned my lesson. From now on it's Michelins only.

The Michelin Defender tires that I recently had installed were replacement for OE tires on my 2008 Dodge Caliber. The ride is much smoother and the road noise is much quieter than my previous set of tires. Also, these tires perform very well in the raid and snow. I read many reviews both on the Michelin site and elsewhere before making what I consider a very good choice for my vehicle.
