Some good, some bad

Bought these tires to replace the Michelin Lattitudes on my 2008 Honda CRV. The Lattitudes were excellent tires that gave me 65k miles of good driving. There was some tread left on them, but winter handling had become poor. Bought the Defenders as this was promoted as Michelin's best. Comfort level and wet handling of this tire is good. Snow handling is okay (only had one snow to test it). Main problems with this tire are a significant decrease in MPG and pulling to side (had alignment checked and it is perfect). Overall, not nearly as good as previous tires and a disappointment. These were the most expensive tires and will cost me even more considering the drop in mileage. Would have preferred the Lattitudes which actually increased mileage over OEMs.

Excellent on wet and dry driving surface

I had the Michelin Defenders installed on my 2004 Honda CR-V. What a difference from the other tires I had previously had on the car. They are quiet, ride and handling are excellent. Also, wet handling and braking has greatly improved. I am extremely happy with the purchase and have recommended them to 2 of my family members and a few friends. Thanks for producing a great tire.

Nice ride buy noisy

I bought these tires for my 2005 Honda Civic. They are very smooth and handle well. The construction appears to be top notch. The only issue I have is a loud humming noice from the tires. I have grown accustom to it so it isn't really bothersome for me anymore. The tire dealer said the primacy line has less noice but also has a lot less tire wear warranty. Overall I would recommend this tire. I have not experienced a change in fuel and I check my MPG at every fill-up.

Great Tires

I have been buying Michelin tires for the last 12 years. The first set I got 80,000 miles. This new set is great. I use them on my daily driver. Their quiet, they improved my stopping distance and they handle great in sun and rain. I can't say I have seen any improvement in gas mileage but I also drive a 1992 honda accord with 250,000 miles on it.

I would buy this product again.

This is a great tire. I have total confidence in Michelin tires. In fact, I have so much confidence in Michelin that I drive a four wheel-drive Van that requires "run flat" tires since there is no spare tire on this vehicle. Run flat tires are terrible. The tires do not wear well or drive well. I have switched to Michelin tires and have total confidence that I still do not need a spare tire. Have been using Michelin tires for years. I was glad to switch back to Michelin from the original "run flat" tires. This may not work for everyone, but it works for me.

FAMILY TIRES

Michelin Tires are the only tires my family will have on their cars. This has been going on for the last forty (40) years and it include all my grown kids and grand kids - three generations of Michelin Tires --- WHAT CAN I SAY BUT THEY ARE THE BEST TIRE FOR YOUR FAMILY SAFETY AND BEST RIDING TIRE I HAVE EVER HAD.

Best ride yet from any tire

I replaced a set of non-Michelin brand tires on my Infiniti sedan. Up until I bought these Michelin Defenders, I thought I needed to replace the unistruts because the car rode so poorly. Now I understand it was the tires all along. Love these tires and wish I had made the purchase much sooner.

Very nice tire!

I bought a set of Defender tires for my 2003 Honda CRV EX right before winter of 2012. The ride is great. Traveling on the highway, the SUV was quiet and comfortable. Tread wear has been good. During the winter days in Pittsburgh, the tires performed fine, very little slippage. I plan on putting on a new set of Defender tires for my 2008 CRV shortly. I would definitely recommend this tire.

Great Buy!

I purchased the tires last November and they have really done well whether I'm driving in dry, wet or snowy conditions. The tread appears to be great! If this continues, I would not hesitate purchasing these again. I would highly recommend this tire for anyone that is looking for price and reliability.

I will always be a Michelin buyer...

I have always been a Michelin buyer for our family cars, and what a wonderful product they make! Between the three cars we have this is the six times I have bought them. The quality is excellent and price is affordable. The driving is smooth and very dependable on roads and gives complete peace of mind while driving. I am glad they take good care of their product and their dealers take very good care of their customers.
