Defender vs. Harmony

At the 60K mile mark with my Defenders. Superior performance and spectacular grip on a variety of surfaces. My last set of shoes were Harmony and I would argue that they provided a quieter, smoother ride over the long haul. However, considering the variance of surface and weather conditions that my luxury? sedan encounter,s the Defender is the right fit for the job. And at 28.5mpg, if and when my current shoes need replacement- Defender!

Defender tires--a smooth ride

I replaced all 4 tires on my 2008 Honda Odyssey prior to a 4,000 mile trip for the express purpose of having a quieter ride, a better handling tire and tires that were excellent during rainstorms. All of my expectations were met and even exceeded my expectations. A great tire that provides excellent traction on all types of road surfaces. I hope to nurture them to the 90,000 mile warranty limit.

Nothing but Michelins

I purchased my current car (1996 Mercury Grand Marquis) new in 1996. It came with the Michelin XGT4 tire. This was the first tire I have ever owned that would run smooth at all speeds. At 80,000 miles I went back to Michelin and purchased 1 set of X-one tires, and another set of X-one tires at 160,000 miles. Just today purchased a set of Defender tires at 232,000 miles. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tires I have purchased. I am concerned when I read comments from others about these tires, but, I can tell you that right now these tires are the berries.....Given the advanced age of the car (20 years) and the mileage, I doubt that I will need another set, but, if I do, they will be Michelins. All of these sets have run smooth for their lifetimes and I am very satisfied. I run them on all my vehicles. Keep up the good work Michelin!

Great comfort ride like my Energy LX4

A very good replacement for Honda Odessey LX4 Energy , will hope to out last the original 50k miles . So far the Defender rides similar to LX4 Energy and handles very good. Can't say much about energy efficiency, and stopping faster and hydro riding effect yet. Woould be similar if not better than older tech. Will keep you posted.

Awesome Ride!!!!

These tires are awesome!!!! The ride is smooth even on pot-hole ridden roads.... I get excellent traction on wet roads, which this year has been a challenge due to all the flooding we have had locally..... These Michelin tires and wiper blades do the trick though as I blow by other drivers on the road who are going at a snails pace due to the heavy rain!!!! I forgot to mention that the main reason I purchased these tires was because of the claim that they increased fuel mileage. I am proud to attest that these tires have increased my fuel mileage 3-5 miles/gallon!!!! I will definitely be buying Michelin tires again!!!!

Excellent Tire

My husband was the first to get Defenders, and after noticing the difference in the road noise alone, I had to have some too. The first time that I took the car out after putting the new tires on I felt more comfortable driving in the crazy amounts of rain we've been having. I could feel it grip the road. The road noise was deminished and I wish I would have done it sooner! Looking forward to see if the life of the tire matches the expected miles it suggests. Forever a Michelin customer!

Defender

We were looking for an all season tire for my husband's new used car. When we bought the car, it needed a set of all four tires. He did not want to spend money for a new set of summer and winter tires. I did some research and decided to purchase Michelin Defender tires. We live in Northern Michigan and the defender did a great job both on snow and wet pavement. Thankfully no reports of slipping off the road or other incidents. I would defiantly purchase these tires again when the time comes to replace them. I would recommend these tire to anyone looking for a great all season tire!

Best All Around Tires for Sedan

I did my home work before buying these tires for my wife's sedan. After checking the ratings with a product testing organization, I chose Michelin Defender tires. The wear rating was very good and tire's overall handling ratings were high. I could have bought a cheaper tire by my peace of mind was worth more to me.

Quiet and smooth riding

These tires are far superior to the factory-installed tires that came on my lightweight hatchback car. I bought these tires specifically to quiet down the road noise inside the car and I am very satisfied. They are quieter, smoother, and have a very good grip on rainy highways. Thank you!

Great Buy

This tires are great. I could immediately notice the difference between my earlier tires and Michelin tires. The ride is smooth road grip is good and the road noise is greatly reduced. My next buy would be from Michelin and I would definitely recommend this product to my friends.
