I had four of these installed on my 2008 Honda Odyssey at 43,627 miles and they have lasted to 69,000 miles - barely 27,000 miles of the 90,000 warranted miles. Truly, a disappointment. I definitely did NOT get what I paid for. I will not purchase Michelin again.

I own a 2009 Subaru Outback and have owned at least 30 different automobiles prior and purchased numerous tires for these vehicles. In January, I purchased 4 of your Michelin Defender tires and must say they far surpass any of the other tires that I've had. My business has me driving a lot, and the ride is great and these tires handle beautifully. I feel really safe on the icy and wet roads because the Michelins provide excellent control. My wife also owns a Subaru (2004) and soon her tires will need to be replaced. I want you to know that I am so pleased with my Michelin tires that I will most definitely purchase Michelin tires for her car.

I had Pilot Exalto in all my cars before there were excellent tires, but I was looking for a good tire and I want to tried de Defender, I bought it last year and on ice ( I live in Northeast) was very good, after 12,000 miles the looks like new. I am happy with the tire because is make me feel safe on snow, rain and also in sunny day. Good all year around tire.

I just wanted to express my satisfaction with Michelin Tires thru out the years. Michelin was the tire I chose when I made my first tire purchase. Way back when. They were the only things new on the car, as it was a used car. They way out lasted the car. I have purchased many sets of tires over the years. I'm afraid to say I did once, just once, purchase another brand. Long story short. That never happened again. Besides that one over site. I have always purchased and recommended Michelin tires. I have yet to be disappointed. Keep up the great work.

Much better handling, quieter, more stable, more comfortable ride and better steering than dedicated LRR tires that we replaced. Mileage seems very similar (although only a few hundred miles). Much better than OEM tires in every way also. These tires seem modestly heavier and there is a slight difference in acceleration. Highly recommended for a prius.

I bought these Defender tires due to being made by Michelin and also due to the miles warranty. I put these on my Mustang. I had another brand and burned through most of the tread within 30,000 miles. After putting these on, the gripping power is great. Tires handle amazing also in snow and rain. When my Honda is due for tires, I will definately be replacing those with Michelin Defenders. Highly Recommend!

I have been using Michelin X1 tires or Michelin Harmony Tires for about 8 years on 3 different cars, have been very happy with them as they give you a very comfortable ride. I just purchase a newer car, and they need a new pair of tires. I could not find the Harmony tires anywhere, so I bought the new Michelin Defenders which had a tread design almost exactly like my Harmonys and figured I could not go wrong with Michelins, as I had been using them for such a long time. I have been a huge fan of Michelins because of the great ride and traction they give you. The Defenders just do not give my car the great ride that I was used to having. To me , They give a harder ride and just feel different. I was hoping to exchange them for another tire, but after contacting someone at Michelin it is up to the Dealer who installed them after He inspects them whether I can get another set of tires. I was told they soften up after a bit of driving so I hope this is true. With the Harmonys they felt great right away. Seem to be using more gas too, than with the tires that came on the car.

This is the best tire this vehicle has ever had. After 8000 miles, driving 75% highway/25% rural roads, these have handled all conditions admirably. Though not a snow tire, it handled 6" with fine control. Rain soaked roads are not even a challenge anymore. And the best part is I don't even know tires are there; totally siient!

Defender tires provides good grip (Traction control) on roads, stability and balance on turns under all circumstances. The ride is smooth, subtle but secure and feel confidence while driving. As rubber meets road the Defender puts it defense. It gives comfort, peace of mind and great protection. I love my defenders and enjoy riding.

Bought the Defender Tires for my 2004 Buick LeSabre. I noticed an immediate improvement in the quality of the ride. The handling of the car with these tires on rain soaked roads has been amazing. I was a little hesitant at first to spend the extra money but I am glad I did. I would have to say these are the best tires to date that I have purchased. I have yet to find anything negative about them.
