First time buyer, sold from now on

I put these tires on my work car. They made a noticeable difference from the very first time I drove on them. My commute is 128 miles one way so I encounter all types of conditions from rain to rough terrain to interstate. These tires are remarkable in all conditions and provide me with level of comfort that I have not experienced with any other tires I have purchased in the past. I am sold on Michelin tires and will continue to put them on my vehicles from now on!

Did not lasted as advertised

Tires were advertised to last for 90k miles but after 55k miles only 4/32 thread depth is left. Dealer has already marked the tires as red. Michelin needs all the records for tire rotation and servicing. Ride was smooth and I did not had any issues with tire during its life. These were bit noisier than my previous Michelin Primacy. I'll buy Michelin tire again and will keep all the servicing receipts safe.

grip the road with minimal wear

My car is a commuter car and I put on 30 miles or more a day, moslty on the highway. I got the Michelins as they were recommended for handling and longevity. Since purchase they've wokred like a charm. I appreciate the way they hold the road and keep on spinning. Thx!

Great Tires

I bought these tires after the original tires wore out after 36,000 miles. What a difference these tires make in the way the car rides and handles. They are quite and run smoothly unlike the OEM tires that came with the Jeep Patriot. I feel like I have a new car. Winter is coming (to Durango, CO) and I am looking forward to seeing how they handle the snow.

My Icloud tires

I feel confident and good about my self when I have Michelin tires, I always get greater gas milege and more than 50,000 mile tire wear for last 30 years of driving Michelin! But the number one issue to me is how the tires feel! I have always told anyone who would listen what I like about Michelin is I feel like I am riding on a cloud, whether I am in a new car or an old car!

The Quiet Sturdy Ride

A happy user of a set of Michelin X-Radials on my car, decided to treat my college aged daughter and her rose colored 1999 New Beetle to a set of Defenders. I told her I love my X-Radials because they feel like they grip well (especially in Minnesota Winters) and are very much a "pillowy ride" that I swear are way quieter than the previous tires, who's name rhymes with "Good Cheer". Her response was a cautious sounding, "...yea, we'll see." By the end of the first day, she had already reported back I was right on all three accounts; she felt the added grip, softness of ride and definitely quieter. Thank you Michelin for making me right for once!

Best riding tire I've owned

This is the second set of Michelin tires that I've purchased for my 2006 Camry which now has 100,000 miles on it. I selected the Defender at the recommendation of the tire dealer I have dealt with for more than 20 years. The tire offers a great ride. It offers excellent traction on wet pavement. Can't wait to see how it performs this winter.

Best tire I have ever bought.

I have searched over thiry years for the perfect tire. Well, I have found it not long ago when I bought a set of Defenders. My job requires driving 3000 or more miles per month and I am getting fantistic milage wear, smoth rides, excelllant stoping in all climates and do believe I will get over 90,000 miles. As I said this has been wounderful and is the perfect tire for me. I rate it a ten in all ways. Thank you Michelin for a fantastic and sfe ride every month.

2 times dissatisfied!!

Purchased this tire for the 90k rating. From my local dealer. This defender tire has only lasted 48k for me. No balance issues and regular rotations. Dealer checked the tires and they need replacing they are at 3/32. Primacy 60k tire didn't last either 36k with those.

So far so good

I just purchased these tires yesterday and seeing a difference in driving right away. I do not know if it is due to new tires or b/c of Michelin tires. But driving is much smoother and also seeing less gas being used. Will see if this holds true after few years.
