Great Sam's replacement policy

The rear tire was damaged by a large bolt making the tire unrepairable. Bought the tires like 3 years ago but the tire still had 9/10th of tread remaining and Sam's replaced it for free minus $20.00 installation.

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.

SNOW ❄️ 🧊 ICE Traction!

Wet and Snow ❄️ traction was awesome this winter! We got a crazy 🤪 extra amount of Snow and Ice in Richmond, Virginia this year! I have got a lot better gas mileage with new tires also! Had gotten 89k out of old Michelin tires!

Love'm

Best tires I've ever purchased! I put them on both of my Tacomas and I'm on my second set on my current daily driver. I get close to 100k miles on each set. Yes, I rotate them and run the appropriate tire pressure as scheduled. The handling of my truck in adverse weather is so much better with my Michelin Defender LTX M/S...even in hurricane rain they grip the road while other vehicles are hydroplaning

This will be the third set of Defender LTX M/S that have been on my truck. The first set was on the truck when I bought it in 2013. That set had 83,000 miles on them. I then bought another set of the same tire hoping they would last as long as the first set. And they did even better with 90,000 miles on those. Now I have the third set on. I hope they do just as well. I check the tire pressure on a regular basis and rotate them every 10,000 miles. Both sets have worn very evenly and ride very nice. I live in MN and they do well in all four seasons. I drive a Honda Ridgeline and it handles very well with these tires.

Could be Michelin's best tire

Could be Michelin's best tire. OEM on parents '03 GMC Envoy. I normally am not a fan of OEM tires, but these were exceptional. When replacement time came, local tire shop (and Michelin experts) recommended that these tires were still the best option. Just replaced those, as my parents don't drive nearly as much in their advanced age and the tires were starting to show signs of dry rot, which I've read is normal with Michelin's high mileage tires as they just don't wear out! These newest ones are probably the best Michelin tires, and I speak from experience. Another vehicle was supplied OEM with Primacy Tours, which were trash, and I replaced with the Defender2 and while better, aren't the equal of the Defender LTX! I have another vehicle with Pilot Sport All Season 4s which might be slightly better than the Defender LTX, but I have to knock them a point as I can't get 20k miles on them. But they ARE a high performance tire, and phenomenal! The Defender LTX is incredibly quiet, smooth, and resists hydroplaning and tramlining. Haven't bee drven in the snow, but considering how excellent they are in the other 3 seasons, I'm confident they'd perform just fine in the snow. Highly recommend!

Good tires

I really like these tires, they are Michelin quality. However, I am giving them 4 stars because my gas mileage was reduced 1-2 miles per gallon, as compared to my previous set of Michelins. The rolling resistance may be greater and they appear to be more of an all purpose/all terrain hybrid.

Ordered and paid for set of 4.

Michelin shipped 4 tires to the Club one of the tires was incorrect model. I was told that Michelin could not ship single replacement tire to the Club. It has been over a week now and there is no reply. I've always bought Michelin in past years. Nothing like this has happened in the past 25 years for me at Sam's Club. Please help. Thanks, Tom B.

Purchase and install

Purchase was good .install was a hassle. They said they couldn't install until I had my "swollen" lug nuts replaced and they couldn't do it. I purchased/installed myself. I then went back to them to get the tires I bought installed. Very strange

NOT your dads LTX, for sure a downgrade

I used to use the LEGENDARY original LTX on my HD trucks. That tire was amazing in every way. This replacement not so much. Tire has about 45 to 50k miles on them and one is separating and the rest show substantial wear on edges and across treads. Will be searching for a new brand. Try new things win new prizes Michelin. You knew you had a winner with the original LTX.
