[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good tire. Same tire that I had and changed them at nearly 60,000 miles. Easily could have gotten the 70,000 miles as rated.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Michelins are excellent tires. I have had many years of good service from them. I expect these to be exactly the same.

Excellent tread wear, last set went 80,500 miles.

Excellent replacement tire of the same prior Defender LTX M/S model which lasted 80,500 with no service issues. Tires ride great, are quiet, and have excellent traction. Unfortunately, the manufacture date on the tires is 4423 which means the 44th week of 2023, so the new tires were actually 2 and one half years past their manufacture date when sold and installed.
