Shoulders of the tire wear to a point that there are no longer any sipes even though there is plenty of siped- tread remaining in the center of the tire; thus, water is not displaced as well, creating a greater chance of hydroplaning.

Just recently purchased my LT275/65R18/10 LTX M tires. My truck handles great, corners good, rides great, and runs quiet on the road. I would recommend these tires to any looking for new tires.

Just had the AAA do the 4 wheel install on my Highlander and can't believe the ride difference these tire make. Faster with idle speed. At least 5 MPH. Smoother and very quiet. Will install 4 more on my Prius.

I have over 76000 miles on my Michelin Defenders and still not down to the tire ware indicators. Wonderful tire, very good on wet roads. Did have one replaced due to a road hazard.

This tire has a very good ride and handling. I also like the look and tread. 40 k miles and still going strong. If its like my other Michelins, 80 k with no problem. Don't waste your time on others. This is the real deal.

Second set on my van. Will use nothing else except Michelin.I am 73 years old and have tried others .Always came back to Michelin. Now its the only brand I will use.

Purchased these tires because of my daily drive on the freeway to work at speeds that could be dangerous in the extreem hot climate of Nevada. They never failed to perform for 110,000 miles

I have 2set on my tahoe got 70,000 on first set could have got at least 10,000 more on them. Also got same tires G M C truck installed 1999 still very good.Iwill buy more if needed thay are the best I have found in my 74 years.

Had problems with premature tire wear on a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. After replacing with these tires got better wear and smoother ride with much less road noise.

I HAVE OWNED 6 SETS OF THESE AND STILL CONSIDER THEM A GREAT CHOICE FOR ALL ROAD AND SNOW COUNTRY TRAVEL...LONG WEAR, GOOD RIDE, GOOD TRACTION IN RAIN AND SNOW
