If you are at the crossroads of choosing between Michelin Premier and Defender this blog might be useful and interesting for you.

All seasons tires are very popular due to their practicability and no need to be changed every season. With a lifespan of over 60,000-80,000 miles, they do their job for years.

It is well known that Michelin is a manufacturer that proved its leadership over the years in the tires market though-out its quality. Even though both tires are in the same price range, they have different features.

Michelin Premier A / S
The EverGrip technology used on the Michelin Premier A / S gives the tire similar performance to the new ones even when relatively worn.

Premier A / S highlights its performance in terms of grip speed and cornering stability.

If you like speeding and steadiness on the road at the same time, then Michelin Premier A/S is the perfect fit for you, but take into consideration that it is not the best option for the rainy and snowy weather.

Michelin Defender T + H 

Especially improved to reduce both fuel consumption and consumables, they offer a lifespan of 90, 000 miles, more than one year of driving. Based on the Michelin Defender customer’s feedback and experience, this particular tire stands out for its reliability and long life, but it’s not in the category of tires that show top performance in terms of speed. However, it offers above-average performance in terms of braking and acceleration. 

Tires’ lifetime:

Michelin Premier A / S  comes with a tread warranty of 60, 000 miles.

Michelin Defender T+H comes with a lifetime warranty of around 85,000 -90,000 miles, which is one of the longest-lasting tires produced by Michelin.

The Premier A/S rage of tires start from 15 – 19-inch variants. According to the Michelin statement, Defender tires will cover over 90% of the vehicles in the near future.

Taking into consideration all aspects mentioned about each of them, the decision is obvious who wins the fight.
