I use the defender tires on my minivan and I have great traction when going around corners. The grip of these tires is extraordinary. I feel that I have greater traction in the rain than I have with any tires that I have ever owned waiting on the winter to see how they do in snow. I have always found with the cheapest tires that I could find in the past but decided to try these tires out and I am glad I did.

I purchased these tires at the recommendation of the sales person and I'm VERY glad I did. I was OVER DUE for new tires and needed a product that would drive well in all types of weather conditions. I found that not only are the tires reliable but they actually improved the performance of my vehicle. I am the owner of a Dodge Charger and I was looking for the perfect tires that allowed for safety and the confidence of knowing my new tires will be ready for anything - rain, sleet, hail or snow! I honestly have no fear when rains, snow or when the roads are slick from ice. I am truely happy I made this purchase!

I've had Michelin tires before, and they always performed very well. I must say that the Defenders on my '07 Altima are even better---cool running, long-lasting, and flawless in the rain and snow (up here in Northern Ohio). I would highly recommend the Defenders to anyone in the market for a high-quality tire.

I needed tires for my 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. Since I've had Michelin tires in the past for other vehicles and they provided great service, I wanted to get Michelin tires for my van. The Defender tires were highly rated and, after getting them, I've had excellent sevice on dry pavement, in rain, and in snow. I live in New England where weather conditions can be challenging at times, but the Defenders always came through. I would recommend them to anyone; they are a great value for the money.

I have used michelin tires for years and am 100% couldn't be any happier with them. I have been driving for approx. 70 years, under all kind of conditions and they have proven to be the best. Through the years I have owned various types of tire and none have made me as happy as I am with Michelins. Keep up the good work.

I choose my tires like my life and the lives of those in my car depend on it. That is why I choose Michelin. I had them on my BMW Z3 and on my Honda CR-V, I won't buy another tire, I like the security and safe feeling I have with Michelin tires on my car.

These tires have been great especially with all the rain we have had this summer. The water got pretty deep on the roads at times but I didn't hydroplane at all. I felt I had good control over the car at this time. The ride is smoother under normal conditions, but I especially appreciate the safety and stability. For the future I am anticipating help with the snow. These tires have been great and I rely on the Michelin name for quality.

I love my tires! I had Harmonys on prior to the Defender. I loved those too! I had a 2 hour trip shortly after putting the Defenders on, and to my surprise, I actually noticed a difference. They made my car ride like a new car! This winter I didn't get around in the snow as well as I had with the Harmonys. I would recommend the defender to any of my friends who are looking for a nice, quiet ride. I am anxious to see how many miles I can get out of my Defenders!

Bought these tire November 7, 2012. I decided to take them for a drive to break them in. After 100 miles roundtrip, all I can say I WOW! I had MXV4's on my Grand Marquis before these, and as they say, they stop faster, ride smoother, handle better, and are a lot lot more comfortable to drive on. I filled up my tank before the ride, and figured my gas mileage for my little trip afterwards when I filled up again. I normally averaged 20 miles a gallon on the highway. After filling up I figured it to be 24 miles to a gallon. I hope this keeps up with the way the gas prices are. Don't think twice BUY THESE TIRES, not only will you be happy but your vehicle as well.

I got my new Defender tires put on my Honda Civic a few months ago and I'm pretty happy with them. The only little thing I noticed is that after a couple months they air in two of the tires was significantly lower than the other 2 (front right and back left). I am not sure if this is normal, but I don't think so. Overall, my ride is much smoother and I notice much better traction in the rain. I would recommend these tires to others!
