First Class Tire

I run the interstate daily at 70 mph. These tires run smoothly and comfortably, keeping my Volvo S60 sedan steady and true with excellent handling and avoidance maneuvers. Combined with the excellent Volvo brakes, stopping is safe and straight. Keep them rotated regularly and they will last at least as long as promised, if not longer. I've run a number of brands over the years and the Michelin Defender is the best.

225/50R17 To early to tell

Only bin running these Defenders for 2-3 days, they seem as smooth and quiet as the Eneryg S/A that were replaced. Only differance so far is gas milage has decreased a little but not enough to complain about. Handeling and cornnering are great as before and they hug the road. GREAT LOOKING TIRES Great Price

Great MPG

I've put 2200 miles on a 2009 Chrysler Town & Country van with them so far. I drove a 1700 mile trip from AZ to IL for the fifth time with this van and my gas mileage was 2.4 mpg better than average. It also seems to be more responsive to steering input. Around town I'm seeing a 1.2 better mpg. Very happy with them.

Great Tire for Subaru Outback

I purchased these tires as replacement of OE tires that came on the vehicle. I have purchased and used Michelin tires in the past and been extremely pleased with the way they handle in all weather conditions. I drive around 1100 miles a week so I need a tire that will hold up and provide good traction in all types of weather conditions. These tires have been outstanding!! Have performed great in rain, snow and ice. They seemed to handle much better than the OE tires that came on the vehicle.

Smooth dry ride...

The Defender provides a smooth dry ride. My family drove from CT to S.C. to attend a funeral. I could not drive or attend. I am back to driving and just drove from CT to VT. Once agai, smooth dry ride. No road noise. Will have to wait for rain and snow performance.

WOW! Such a difference from changing tires!

I own a 2011 Dodge Journey and the change in the feel of the cars ride immediately after they put the Defenders on is nothing short of Amazing! These tires made me feel I'd not only changed the tires but had the entire suspension and steering linkages improved. They were quieter, smoother and more responsive than I'd ever felt the car to be. In fact the ride change felt like that of a smaller and sportier vehicle. Bravo Michelin! Looking forward to many enjoyable miles on my Defender tires!

Great quality - Highly recommend

Installed 2 months ago on my Sienna 2005 Mini Van. These tires are replacing the second set of tires on this vehicle, also Michelin. Have nothing bad to say about these tires. As advertised, they are a quite running tire. They have excellent handling performance. They feel sure when braking. Performs well on dry and rain, the winter will be the real test but I feel confident that I will not be disappointed. Yes, these are a better grade of tire, costing a little more but they are well worth the extra money. I would HIGHLY recommend these tires to anyone, feeling certain that they will not be disappointed.

Best bang for the buck

I have been a longtime Michelin tire customer and my recent purchase of the Defender series tires for my 2005 Dodge Caravan did not disappoint me. These tires replaced a set of older Michelins with 58,000 plus miles on them. The ride is quite, smooth and have great road traction. Living in South Florida road traction is most important considering the slippery road condition in the rainy season. Considering the warranty, wear ability and performance these tire are one of the best values on the market. I highly recommend them.

Good handling tire

The tires went on an Impala that is driven about 15,000 miles/yr with the majority of the driving done at highway speeds. The tires have been fairly quiet compared to other tires I have used and have good handling on dry and wet pavement. I have not yet had a chance to go through a winter with them on the car. I have only put about 5,000 miles on the tires so far so its a little early to judge wear life but so far there is very little wear.

Best tire hands down

I am a long time Michelin customer. These are by far the best tires I have ever driven on. They give an unparalleled quiet ride, incredible wet and dry traction, and have improved the overall drivability of my vehicle. I have put about 10,000 miles on them so far, and I couldn't be happier. I drive mainly on the highways and feel a lot more confident and safe now that I bought the Defenders. I have informed many friends and family members that this is the only tire to buy. No one has been disappointed. Keep up the good work Michelin. A customer for life.
