Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Michelin defender tires just have 10 miles on them . They have always had extreme road noise, they handle awful. I'm really thinking of taking them off and putting on yokohamas or goodyear or any tire other than michelin defenders,also while turning with defender tires it feels like I have to hold the wheel extra tight because iit feels like the tires feel bigger than they are,like I'm turning in mud. Also I rotate my tires every oil change. All in all terrible tires. I wish I could get some kind of refund from michelin tire company.”
