I bought these tires last week and so far I like my purchase. The car drives smoother, better and overall just feels like a new car! I replaced the tires that came on my car when I first purchased it and I must say I am glad I went with Michelin. Michelin is the best brand out there! Now my car can handle any weather! Thanks Michelin!!!

I've just replaced 4 Michelin Harmony tires today on my 1998 Honda Accord LX with 4 new Michelin Defender XTs. The Harmony tires (rated at 80,000 miles) lasted 9 years over 91,000 miles, and although they may have comfortably given me an additional 6 months/5000 miles, I opted for safety. I routinely have tires rotated and pressure adjusted approx every 8,000 miles at the local Honda dealer where I have all my servicing done. This is our touring car. We make 5 or 6 trips a year ranging from 250 to 800 miles per round trip in addition to an 1,100 mile trip to Canada every other year. I look forward to the new Defenders' performance

I bought them recently for my wifes car, she has been compaining about the tires on here car in wet weather. After I put the Defender tires on her Sonata, she has never been happier. Her car is a 2003. Last October I purchased a new Dodge Grand Caravan. I can't stand the tires that came with it. Within a couple of months I will be putting a set of Michelin Defenders on it.

This was not my first set of Michelin tires. They have lasted the longest than any tires I have ever owned in my 60+years. They have given me the most mileage with the least trouble ever. I don't have to worry about my safety and mileage for a long time!

I bought the Defender tires after being told I needed new ones. I was complaining about the road being so noisy on Hwy 1 which I drive daily. After I got my new tires, 80% of the noise was gone, the driving was so much smoother. I don't think I've ever experienced such a difference when buying new tires. I was quite impressed.

I replaced my five year old, 50K mile Michelin Hydroedge tires with the Defenders. What a difference, the car is quiet and smooth again! What a pleasure. Great tire, I would buy again. I can't give it a wear rating as I only have about 3K miles on them so far.

The tires are far superior than any other brand. The handling on highway or country roads is great. Wear life is superior. We purchase from a local man whom exceeds anyone in answering questions and care in detailing what the product is. I have driven on your products only since 1994. Example I had a Suburban which is a large vehicle and got over 60K per set! The product works on dry, rain, or snow conditions.

Purchased the Defender based on consumer reports review and the need to have a better performing winter weather tire then my previous all-season radial. After two months the tire is performing very well, gets great gas mileage, and handles like a dream. I am very happy with this tire purchase. I haven't had them long enough to rate the wear but all other aspects of the tire are great.

Having used other Michelin branded tires sucessfuly before, I took the advice of the dealer to try the Defender series. It truly is superior in many respects. I laughed when the dealer told me that the stopping distance is greatly improved with these tires. Well just say I laugh no more! My sister was driving and we had to make an emegency stop. No kidding, you really DO feel the difference in stopping performance. Here is a slow motion recap of what we felt. The car starts to stop normally, then as if some extra force clicks in, you feel a tremendous surge forward as the tires seem to grip tightly onto the road. We were both blown away. Totally awesome! Then of course there is the extended mileage you get from the long tread wear and wet road performance, two features I have to deal with in South Florida. Im writing this review after 28,000 miles of use, and am truly satisfied. I wonder if they make these for my bicycle. Now, let's add puncture-proof and bullet-proof to the Defender series and make them indestructable.

Never thought I could afford these tires, boy was I surprised. The dealer and the company work to make these affordable compared with similair tires. The quality and warrenty far exceed other tires. Thank you for your commitment to help keep our highways safe with good quality tires,
