I drive all over town everyday,so I put a lot of miles and wear and tear on my tires. The defender series is great for fuel efficiency and on all types of terrain. They also arre fantastic in all types of weather. They have great traction for stop and go traffic. All and all I have and will continue to buy the Defender series of tires for my car again and again!

I have a 2001 Cadillac Seville. I was in need of new tires and read reviews on which tires would be best suited for this car. Michelin came in as top rated for smooth ride and the least road noise. I also wanted a tire that was going to give me stop and go reliability...Defender hands down does just that! I couldn't be more happy with my purchase. Living in Wisconsin and being on the road a lot, I need tires that I can trust will be ready for whatever they have to ride on and be able to deliver! My Defenders do just that...no slipping on wet or snowy roads and stopping distance is awesome! Absolutely would I recommend Defenders to anyone that would ask.

I had the opportunity to hit the side wall of another brand of tire; after midnight ; three hours away from home and driving on a dark two lane highway. I drove less than a mile and the tire failed. I did the same thing; on the same road; at the same time of night with a Michelin tire and the results were totaly different. This experience made a beliver out of me about how well Michelin tires are built. Michelins forever is my motto.

I am a 30 year Mercedes Benz technician and I drive a 1985 Mercedes Benz 300D with 389,000 miles on the chassis, all of the suspension has been rebuilt in recent years so she rides pretty good. I have had several other makes if tires in years past with varying degrees of satisfaction and I have recently switched to Michelin Defender series tires. They have been on my car for almost a year now, approximately 14,000 miles, and are doing great!! I could not be happier. They ride well, not noisy, not too soft or firm, and corner better than any tire I have had on the car since i purchased the car in 1997, with 172,000 miles on it.

These tires are passing the test of Wisconsin winters with flying colors! I've been driving on dry, wet, snow-covered and icy roads with these tires and they've handled great. I kept waiting to slide or fishtail (even though I drive safely) because we've had some nasty weather but I only slid a little once, trying to slow for a turn and that was after an ice storm and I an still so impressed despite that. I will recommend them to all my friends and I'm recommending them to you too!

I couldn't be happier with the smooth handling of these tires. Worth every penny. Use them on my Buick Lasabre. I actually have been using Michelin Tires on my 1975 Triumph TR-6 since I purchased it new. Used them on my Triumph while stationed in Italy with the U.S. Navy 1978-81. I am still using Michelins on the Triumph to this day. Wouldn't have any other tire.

We purchased these tires in the spring after being without good tires all winter. What a difference the Defender made in our ride and protection on the road. The ride is very smooth, feel very safe now with a very good tire on our car. We've not used them in snowy conditions as of yet, but firmly believe that these tires will do a good job on snow. We do get a lot of snow and ice and feeling safe on the road is a prime concern.

I had a set of these tires installed on my 2007 Honda Odyssey EX minivan. The tire's treadwear warranty is 90,000 miles, but the tread was down to less than 3/32" by 55,000 miles. The tires drive well, but I'm very disappointed with the treadwear. I expected better from Michelin especially after paying a premium price for them. I've purchased numerous sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires for a Ford E350 van and always get at least the 70,000 mile mileage rating stated for them. I bought these tires hoping for similar results, but didn't get it.

BOUGHT THESE TIRES RIGHT BEFORE WINTER, THEY DID REALLY GOOD IN THE SNOW, NOT A DEDICATED SNOW TIRE BY ANY MEANS, BUT AS AN ALL SEASON, THESE ARE GREAT, QUIET ON THE ROAD, GETTING GREAT WEAR ON THEM, HOLDS ITS GRIP ON WATER LAYING ON THE ROAD IN A GOOD RAINSTORM. THESE ARE WELL WORTH THE EXTRA MONEY.

Use these on my 2004 Honda Civic as my daily driver and they are quite and ride very smoothly they also handle excellently. I haven't found anything I don't like about the tire I'm actually putting a pair on my wife's 2008 Mazda 3 tomorrow I like them so much. Michelin always and forever for me and all my vehicles would have to agree.
