Canadian Made & Better Milage

I chose the tires because they are Canadian made. I've only put about 10,000 km on them but I have noticed that my gas milage is better. I have a RAV4 Hybrid which in summer I was getting 5.4 l/100 km for the past 3 years. I am now getting 5.2 to 5.3 l/km. Not a big saving but I will take it. In old terms that is an improvement of 1 to 2 miles per Imperial gallon. I also feel safer with the new tires as Michelin is known for their high quality.

Smooth and safe

Have Acura MDX. 150,000 km on set of Michelin defenders. They are still in excellent condition, many km's left. Excellent traction, smooth and quiet. Trust these for your family. Work well in snow, my wife has cross climate on her car which are slightly better in deep snow. But not as quiet or smooth. Take your pick.

Great Ride

I'm a retired Red Seal Mechanic and I have never in my 45 years of experience had any issues with Michelin Tires. Most notably thing about installing and balancing Michelin tires is how well they fit along with minimal weights required to balance Michelin tires. Needless to say if you require 1oz or more in weight to balance a Michelin tire, then check your Rim! Michelin tires are also one of the quietest tires on the road, as well as superb performance! We have a saying in the mechanic world around these parts! Once you drive with Michelin Tires on your vehicle, you will not want to drive on anything else!
