The Michelin Defender T H summer tire is considered one of the most durable in the lineup of models for passenger cars. In addition to its long service life, it is distinguished by improved traction properties on wet surfaces, ease of handling, comfortable quiet and smooth ride, and fuel efficiency.
The tire is one of the few passenger models from the French manufacturer that uses the MaxTouch Construction technology, which has proven itself in commercial vehicle tires. The essence of the innovation lies in the maximum uniform distribution of the vehicle's load on the road surface. This is achieved by a whole complex of technical solutions. One of them is the optimized frame design, which is extremely resistant to deforming influences. The tread profile has been changed accordingly, which, except for the rounded edges of the shoulder zones, is made almost flat. The EverTread rubber compound makes a significant contribution to ensuring high ride comfort. The compound, thanks to the use of modern manufacturing technologies and advanced polymer materials, is distinguished by exceptional resistance to abrasive wear, punctures, tears, and the formation of small cracks.
The tread pattern is notable for the use of IntelliSipe lamellas. Due to a special cutting technology, they are distinguished by the ability to increase the length of the edges formed by them as the tire wears out. This allows you to save a significant part of the traction and braking properties on wet surfaces throughout almost the entire life of the tire. The effectiveness of the lamellas is noticeably increased due to the optimized location, at which they form almost continuous transverse edges that stretch across the entire tread.
