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.
Durability and Performance
A couple of weeks ago i was stopped, checked a couple of times to see if it was clear to go ready to pull out across traffic when someone came flying out of nowhere. As soon as I saw him I hit the brakes, and he hit his. Luckily I stopped within inches of his car, I can only say how lucky I was to have such great tires on my car along with good brakes. Such a nice smooth ride, love my Defenders.
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!
