Great durability

At 86,000 miles these tires are just starting to get noisy but plenty of tread left to make it safely to 90,000. I'm impressed!!

Great design and handling

Love Michelin Tires. They are quieter and hold the road perfectly. Very long wearing too. Thank you for your expert products! Resa Bartlett

Great tires

Great tires. Like the construction and performance. Much better design than the original factory tires. The ride is much more sturdier.

Great tire over OEM

Great tire for traction, handling and quiet compared to the OEM tires. The OEM tires were replaced @ 14,000 miles and were more than 50% worn.

Defender Tires has always been my go to tire for both of our family cars. They wear super well and I would never choose any other tire.

Best tires made. Bar none. I put these on my daughter's SUV for peace of mind and knowing she will be safe.

Don't understand why Michelin had to take a really good tire and ruin the ride quality by changing the specs, stupid move. Bring back the SL 105H

Post Snow Storm roads - No problem!

First new set of tires for my 2020 Subaru Forester. We just had the most snow last week in NJ in years. No issues. Tires have been great.
