A great tire at any price

I was looking for a good rain tire for my Rav4 and decided Upon the Defender for its tread pattern and wear rating. Although they were about the most expensive tires in the store, I consider them to be a great value in terms of safety, handling, and durability. I couldn't wait for a big gulley washer of a storm to hit so I could try them out! I was not disappointed. They performed flawlessly at speed nearing 80 mph without a hint of Hydroplaning. In dry conditions they track accurately and ride smooth.

Very Pleased

We decided to replace our tires early so that we could get the benefit of using them. It made no sense to buy new tires and then trade the vehicle in one year. This was a great decision. We only use this van for local driving but I can really tell a difference in the way the van handles. I feel much safer. We will buy Michelin Tires for our other vehicle before we need them also. The "standard" tires which come on new vehicles now are not the best.

Great Winter Traction and much quieter!

I am a High Mileage driver and have been buying Michelin tires for over 15 years. The DEFENDER series tire I installed on my front wheel drive mini van last year were the quietest tires I've ever had and also a HUGE IMPROVEMENT in WINTER Traction, as well as wet and dry pavement handling, acceleration and stopping. I've put nearly 20,000 miles on this set already and they still look and perform like new! VERY PLEASED! GREAT TIRE!

Now That's a good ride!

Loved my new Focus except for the terrible road noise. And the OEM tires that came on it only lasted 28000 miles. Asked my tire dealer for a tire that would be quiet, long on mileage and good for fuel economy. He recommended the Defender. What a difference! Now the ride is so quiet and smooth and the car handles better on wet roads . With the 80000 mile warranty , I think these tires will be worth every penny! Just a world of difference!!

Outstanding tire

I purchased the Michelin Defenders for my vehicle once the tires which came with the car suffered too much tread wear. My decision to go with the Defenders was based on favorable reviews and the fact that the tread is expected to last. I told my mechanic to install these so he ordered me a set, and said his vendor stated 'these were the only tires he'd put on his car.' I put 150 miles on my car every workday so the 90k mile tread life was important to me. I immediately noticed an improvement in the comfort and level of quiet in the ride. Very luxurious. I drive on a twisty highway for most of my commute, and noticed a great improvement in traction on curves when the road is either dry or wet. These tires also resist hydro planing much better than my previous set. I feel very confident when driving in wet conditions and would definitely buy them again.

Thank you Michelin for this tire!

I own a Honda CRV. I purchased 4 Michelin Defender tires and now the vehicle rides as smooth as a Buick car. I absolutely love the tires. I feel very safe and confident, especially in the winter time when I travel over very snowy roads. I would recommend these tires to everyone I meet! Thank you Michelin for making these exceptional tires available!

GREAT TIRE

I purchased a set of four tires for my wife's 08 Honda Civic knowing the Michelin reputation of being the best. We haven't been disappointed. Very comfortable ride and wonderful all weather handling. She commutes 60 miles a day to work and I'm comfortable that we chose the perfect tire.

Great Tire

Great tire for all weather, Specifically impressed with wet road traction. The only down fall I can think of with this tire is that the road noise is a little louder than my normal tire from a different company. first time Michelin customer. Only had the tires for 6 months or so but have them on 2 vehicles. Impressed so far.

2005 Honda Odyssey

Bought 4 Defender XT for the Odyssey less than 2 months ago, handling and comfort are good but the tires are a bit noisy on concrete and asphalt, even my 9 years old noticed it. Don't know why other reviewers said it's quiet though. May be there is a 'break-in' period on the noise. I don't know how it goes in the snow yet, will see in a few months.

Outstanding tires

I have the Defender tires on a Ford 500, 2007. Ths car is used for family driving in all kinds of weather. These tires are all I had hoped for in snow, ice, and dry roads. There is virtually no road noise. Handling is noticeably better than any other tire I have ever had.
