Very quiet and smooth riding tires

I brought the Michelin Defender tires for my SUV in the fall of 2012. My Suzuki Grand Vitara now rides smoother and quieter than it did the day I brought it! The tires are great and they reduce the "bumps" in the road so that you don't feel them much and they are very quiet at all speeds. The handling of my SUV is still great too. I have been a Michelin customer for years and these tires don't disappoint. Great job Michelin!

Peace Of Mind

I have two cars, both of which are on Michelin tires. One car is on Harmony series and has given me excellent service with no incidents of any sort. My other car is on the Defender series and shows great tire wear and has been really great in all kinds of weather. I have great confidence when I am driving on Michelin tires.

Honda Defender

I had the Michelin Defender tires installed last year and I have been very satisfied, thus far, with the performance of the tires. In the past, we've had tires that wore out faster for some reason and had to replace them every two years. These tires are much more durable and will last much longer than my last set of tires.

I would buy this product again!

I have had these tires on my minivan about nine months and I have only put a little over 7,000 miles on them. So far I am happy with them. I don't do as much going since my husband passed away. So I'm hoping these Michelin Defenders last me a very long time.

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.

ALWAYS BUY MICHELIN

I have been purchasing Michelin Tires for more than 35 years. I just purchased a 2009 Buick LaCrosse and it had a brand new set of another brand of tires on it, I took them off and purchased 4 Michelin Defenders. The only tire that I trust for me and my family is Michelin

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.

Handles very well in heavy rain.

My tires are very good in all types of weather especially heavy rain. I do a significant amount of highway driving and the traction on wet roads has been extremely good. I am very satisfied with this purchase of my 4 tires. The tires are still two new to judge the life expectancy but the wear seems to be in line with the expected long life of the tires.

Really Grab the Road

I demand a lot out of my tires since they are on my work van. I have to haul around my tools, equipment and supplies to my work site of the day. Since putting the Defenders on my work van, I've found that they really grab the road during interstate driving. This really adds a sense of security given the heavy loads I tend to drive around. The only thing I don't like about the tires is that they don't come in a "heavy payload" variety.
