Very happy with decision to go with these. For the same price as other similar tires (Goodyear Allegro from CT, Yoko) you get 30% more claimed tread wear. Sound from the tire is quiet, subtle, muffled, dull and overall very quiet...and that's with the windows open. Ride is very comfortable absorbing poor road conditions very well. For a normal vehicle, like my CRV, for daily driving around of my family, this set of tires is super easy to live with. They are made in the USA, brand name Michelins with a great warranty. I paid $859 all in (installation, balance, enviro fee, tax) plus I'm sending in for the $70 rebate.

First time replacement of Versa's OEM tire (Conti Pro Contact) after 73K kilometres with set of Michelin Defender tires - hopefully for longer life up to 100K kilometers. After one month of commuter driving on smooth highway and humpy, curvy backroads the new Defender are reasonably quiet, grippy, but show less 'performance' in the curves and rough road - harder road feel there and more 'float' which can be expected from a touring tire rather than a HP tire.

I put new defender tires on my Ford Escape 4x4. I drove them for 1000 km and cannot comment on fuel efficiency or treadwear. I am impressed by the handling on dry, wet, muddy, snowy and icy road conditions. They are a smooth ride, quiet and comfortable on Highway. They grip perfectly in moderate mud, and cut through puddles like a knife without losing traction. I recently got to test them during an April-spring-storm in Alberta with 20 cm of fresh snow and slush where they provided perfect grip and traction. This is an amazing tire.

I replaced a set of Michelin Harmony tires for new Michelin Defenders. I was very happy with the Harmony's. Got full mileage out of them, quiet , smooth, comfortable and traction was good. After one week with the
Defenders, I couldn't take the rough ride anymore. As mentioned in a previous review, they feel rock hard and ride is rough on the highway.My kids even took notice of the poor ride quality.Tire shop tracked down remaining stock on a new set of Harmony's. Can't wait for the installation.
