with wonderful new tires! The defender tires have lived up to their name...I have incredible grip on the road and a much sounder ride with them on! It was worth the expense as my small car was susceptible to hydro-planing and road noise. These tires have made a really positive difference.

I'm very pleased with these tires. We received 5in. of snow 1/5/17 and I was able to get to work without getting stuck. I didn't slip and slide all over the place. This is my first time buying this brand. The reason I purchased them was because they are top of the line and exceeded all the rest in standards.

Purchased the Defender line of Tires about a month ago. I have gone through 3 tanks of gas. I wanted to go through 3 tanks before I gave my thoughts. I do feel safer with these tires. They seem to hug the road more. However I am not happy with my gas mileage. I am getting 3 miles per gallon less with these tires compared to my other set of Michelin tires. Not very happy. They better last me the 90,000 miles they advertise or it will not have been a good buy with the extra gas I am using.

Much better handling, quieter, more stable, more comfortable ride and better steering than dedicated LRR tires that we replaced. Mileage seems very similar (although only a few hundred miles). Much better than OEM tires in every way also. These tires seem modestly heavier and there is a slight difference in acceleration. Highly recommended for a prius.

In order to feel safe in hazardous conditions, a car's tires matter most. Michelin has an excellent reputation for tires that hold up well in bad weather, on poor road conditions, and on unstable surfaces. Because safety matters most to me, Michelin was my choice for new tires. I've been very pleased with Michelin's Defenders on my SUV. They handle well on all road surfaces and I feel very safe when driving in snow, ice, hail, or rain. Safety matters most--thank you, Michelin!

I bought the defender for my minivan based on research I conducted online and reading the reviews of others. I was immediately pleased with the superior ride compared to the original equipment tires. My van held the road well and provided a comfortable feeling of control in many driving conditions. I especially enjoyed the confidence while driving in wet and rainy weather. I was so pleased with the Defender that when I purchased a 14 year old Mercury Grand Marquis that had been stored so long the tires needed replacing, I didn't think twice and bought the Defender. What a great product! I've recommended the Defender to many of my friends.

I found the 4 new Michelin Defender tires to be one of the smoothest, qietest tires I have owned. I drive a Ford Windstar and it nows rides like a luxury car instead of a truck. On the highway I noticed that the handling is superb, and again, a nice quiet ride. I am very happy with my purchase and will be sure to use Michelin tires on all my vehicles from now on.

The Defender tire is great all around with no weaknesses that I can see. I've had 3 sets of Michelin Energy LX4 tires on my Odyssey. I liked the handling and the comfort of the LX4 tires, but hated the terrible treadwear. The Defender is equal or better in every way compared to the LX4. Handling is just as solid and responsive. At the same time, ride comfort & noise level are greatly improved compared to the LX4. Top that off with a 90k treadwear warranty & the Defender is a real winner for me.

I plan on driving my car till I reach 500,000 miles. I have to be at work no matter what the weather conditions are. I also drive almost 100 miles a day. Giving these facts, I chose a tire that best fit my needs. This one does. As long as I take care of my tires, with regular tire rotation and alignment. I know these will help me reach my goal. I have enjoyed a smooth ride and they look good.

My 2004 Honda CRV is a great car but I always heard a lot of road noise while driving. It also has a truck base so it's not quite as smooth as a vehicle with a car base. While on my second set of tires, not Michelin, (recommended to me by my husband), my husband drove my car and alerted me to noises while driving that I apparently had become used to. There was a whap, whap sound that after a few weeks of diagnosis we determined to be my tires. I wanted Michelins which I always had on my other cars, read reviews, decided on the Defenders, purchased and had them installed and I have to say, the car has never ridden so smooth or so quiet, even when new. My car does not 'slip' anymore while turning corners and even rides better in rain AND snow. I love these tires and my husband will be getting some when he needs new tires for his car.
