Noteable Difference

I replaced the original tires on my 2005 Honda CR-V due to my tire's tread wearing thin and allowing minor road trash to cause flat tires. I knew Michelin has excellent tires and I wanted the best on my Honda. The dealer recommended the "Defender" and I remembered that Consumers Report had highlighted it as one of the best all-season selections. Immediately after the new tires were installed, it was the first time I sensed a notable difference. My CR-V rode smoother, slightly quieter and with a good road feel. I expect to get years of excellent service from my Michelins. Thanks Michelin for making quality tires.

Quiet and smooth

After wearing out the factory tires on my 2011 Camry, I purchased these from my local Michelin dealer. I told them I wanted a quiet, smooth and safe ride. The tire dealer recommended Michelin Defender series. I am a field service technician and drive over 2000 miles per month for work. I have had these tires for over a year and I am very pleased with how quiet they still are. They have a smooth ride, are good handling, and have worn evenly. I highly recommend routine tire rotation and alignment check. I feel very safe and secure with these tires and will purchase Michelin again when I need new tires.

Michelins are the best

The origional tires that came on the new Camry only lasted 28,400 miles and were beginning to waterplane, so we replaced them with the Michelin Defender. I've only had the new tires for two days and can already tell the difference in the ride and handling. Over the years we have driven the Michelins over 250,000 miles and have never had any problems with any of them. I would highly reccomend these tires to anyone.

The best tires I've ever had

When it was time to put new tires on my Honda Civic SI, I chose the Defender. The streets of Atlanta (not to mention the traffic) are notoriously hard on cars and tires, even if you're just driving to and from work every day. The Defender has made my ride feel a lot less choppy, and I can feel their grip on the road during sharp turns and braking. On weekends, I sometimes drive over 2 hours (each way) to see my boyfriend. That's where I've see the biggest impact: less noise and better gas mileage. I've saved half a tank of gas each time I've make the trip since I got those tires. And the ride is much quieter. I love these tires and could not have made a better choice for my car.

My Michelin Defenders

I only buy Michlin tires for my Mini Vans they last longer than any other tire I used in the past. I have never experiienced a blow out or tire failure with a Michelin tire. The most a nail in the tire even then it was a very slow leak. They repaired it with no out of pocket expence. Michelin stands behind and in front of their products. I even use their wiper blades on my Mini vans and their great also. Keep up the great products coming a great company to do business with.

" Best Tires I Have Ever Owned."

I knew it was time for new tires. After talking go my Friends and Family they all said " Get The Michelin's , You Will Not Believe The Difference. " They Were Right ! The ride is great, the handling is wonderful, and the warranty can't be beat. " These ARE The Best Tires I Have Ever Owned. " The next time I need tires, there will be no hesitation on my part. They will be Michelin ! Thanks and Keep Up The Good Work . Ed R.

Better handling but worse mileage

The car handles, breaks and is better in most ways than on the Integra tires, except it has consistently lower gas mileage, with the OEM tires it was always above 40 mpg and often was around 50 mpg, now it is several mpg lower and sometimes is 39 mpg in city driving.

NO MORE SCARY DRIVING IN A STORM.

you will never want to experience your vehicle slide across 3 lanes of traffic because your tires lost grip of the road, and your 2 year old in the back seat. As a Father, Tire Techician, and ''CAR CRAZY''. I RECOMMEND THE ''DEFENDER'' or any MICHELIN tire.

very poor gas mileage

This is the first replacement tire on my 2012 malibu. Prior to the change I was averaging in excess of 28 MPG. Immediately after the change the MPG reduced to between 24 and 25 MPG. Nothing else changed on the vehicle. Based upon this fact alone the tires will cost much more in gas than the money saved by the 90,000 mile treadware warrantee will save.

1 Year Later Still Look & Drive like new

We love these tires! We purchased them about a year ago for our BMW 3.0i and have not been disappointed. I have never paid this much for tires, but in the end you get what you pay for. We have driven to California from Oregon and back, taken many weekend fishing trips around Oregon and been on badly paved or gravel roads and these tires still look new. The tread doesn't even appear worn. The car still handles really well in rain, snow, or hot pavement. We have not had to use snow tires, even on ice. We are very satisfied!
