Had tires about a year. Rotate regularly still look like new. I like them in the snow the best. They provide great traction in the snow. I drive about 75 miles per day for work and these tires are my favorite Michelin model yet. Gonna get a set for my daughters car, I know she will be safe

This is one the nicest tires I have ever put on my 2005 Honda Civic or any car for that matter. There is no road noise,they handle great,great in the rain,still waiting on the first snow.Hands down I would buy them all over again,awesome tire. When you buy Michelins you definetely get what you pay for an excellent tire.

I normally don't buy tires, It usually gives me a reson to trade in a vehicle. I work at a Car Dealership and needed a new set of tires for my Tacoma. My Service Manager recommended the New Defenders as a new Tire with great hype. I bought them and can't find a fault with them. I drive fast, I brake hard and use them in sand at the beach and lots of Highway driving. about 2k miles a month. 6k miles in, they are quiet, great traction and no complaints. I would buy again.

I bought this tire because of its name, Michelin. They have so far exceeded my standards in the harsh Wisconsin winters. Not only are they great in the snow ( particularly the really wet slushy stuff), but they are great in the rain and grippy on the hottest of days. Bottom line is they are an excellent tire for less money than their competitors. I have about 10000 miles on these with little signs of wear. Great buy. Thanks Michelin!

How to preview a perfect product. Michelin has always been my number one choice. I use my tires on some long trips but mostly in town driving. They are smooth and I feel extremely secure with them. You can't be perfect BUT remember the tire is only as good as the responsible person that owns them.

The Michelin Defender has been the quietest, smoothest tire I have yet to put on my primary vehicle, which I have had for 6 years. The vehicle has historically used up tires in less than 30,000 miles. I don't have enough miles on the Defenders to judge longevity, but can say that they will be the best 30,000 miles I've yet driven. I am optimistic the Defenders will last longer, based on wear thus far. Even my gravel roads have not feathered the tread. Great tire, Michelin.

My 91 year old father has influence me in many ways. In reference to driving on a good set of tires, he always says: "What is your life worth?" Investing in the very best set of tires such as the Michelin Defender is more than an investment in a set of tires, it's an investment in your life. I listen to my father!

I purchased my defenders and have noticed a big difference in my gas mileage just from the use and keeping my tires balanced and rotated. I was leaning toward a cheaper tire and now I know with the money I am saving in gas mileage I will have the best tire at the cheaper rate! Thank you Defender!

We have been Michelin customers for more than 10 years, as Michelin tires always give a quiet ride and seem to wear well. We've only had these tires one month, but the road noise has been significantly reduced over the tires that came with our mini-van. I do not think the over-all wear of the tires is better than less expensive brands, so it's only worth it if you really need the reduced noise.

I love my Michelin tires. I have a 1995 car which I bought new. I have always owned Michelin tires on my car. Even though the car is old I feel safe knowing I have Michelin tires on it. Especially when I have my two Grandchildren with me. It drives so smooth and I wouldn't want any other tires. It just gives me that "Feel Good, Feeling" to know I have them on my car. I bought new tires again at 280,00 miles I have almost 285,000 thousand miles on my car now. I was asked my did I buy such nice tires with all that mileage and I said, I just want to feel safe! Go Michelin!!
