Dependable Michelin

My Honda HR-V used to come from the factory with Michelin Tires. Now, they come with Hankook Tires. With less than 20,000 miles I had two tire malfunctions. I purchased my Michelin tires and now feel secure on the road. The rebates were a plus.

Great tires!

I was able to get 94,000 miles on my set of Defenders over 6 years. I probably could have pushed 100,000 but, the outside tread was cracking. I was very faithful in rotating my tires. Great snow, rain handling. Quiet also.

Great tires

I bought these tires in November, just in time for winter. They handle very well in the snow, have had no issues navigating snowy roads. When the roads have been dry (no snow on them), they grip the road well. Happy with my purchase.

Great Tire

Needed new tires for my 2019 Chevrolet Traverse. They had Continental tires on them previously. The first and only tire I considered were Michelin tires so I researched SUV tires and chose the Defender 2. What a great looking tire and solid ride and feel.

Michelin Defender 2 A WINNER!!

Purchased 4 Defender 2 tires in the spring of 2023 for a 2020 Mazda CX5. Very satisfied with the tires. These are being used mostly for highway driving in the spring/summer and fall. I have another set of rims and tires for winter driving. They don't seem to have any wear and they are quiet on the highway. Handling is excellent, as I would expect from a Michelin tire. I would definitely recommend these tires to anyone looking for new tires.

Low mileage

Sorry, but the Defender 2 tires have really been a disappointment for me! They are not as quiet as I expected, they are an 80000 mile tire and I'm at 30000 and need tires. The handling has been very good in rain and snow and dry, but now the wear bars are showing and I am concerned they may not be good in rain. I'm very disappointed with this set of tires. Only 2 years old and 30000 miles and need to be replaced. No more Michelin for me!

Great Tires

Excellent tires! I've been using Defenders for years and always replaced them around 30,000 km, well beyond the official warranty. What's impressive is that the tread still looks barely worn. I highly recommend this brand—they offer outstanding value for the money. I've used Defenders for the past 11 years on my van, towing a 4,500 lb travel trailer every summer. Today the van has 563,095 km on it, all with Defenders—because I don't like dealing with flat tires. Keep up the great work!

Terrible Tires

The car came with Primacy Tour A/S tires. The car handled great and had a great ride - fun to drive. These tires are terrible. I made a huge mistake buying them because of my long history of purchasing only Michelin tires. They were the Michelins recommended by a tire dealer I trust. As soon as I drove away with these tires, it was like the car that was so much fun to drive had gone "numb." The dealer tried to fix the issue, but the conclusion seems to be that the Defender tires were a bad match for the car.

I love the defender tire Michelin. The tires gripped the road really well . There was a car on a busy road and I didn't see it right away and had to use the brakes fast. The tire really stopped quick. I was glad we had a brand new set of Michelin's on a car.
