I would purchase this tire again.

I have purchased Michelin tires for over 50 years and with exception of a recall have never had a problem. Just put a "better deal" brand on my diesel car that ad stated was a "high performance tire" but I miss the handling performance of my Michelins! My 1960 TR-3 that I bought in college is sitting in the garage and has never had any tire but Michelin. I am a loyal customer to this brand. Thanks.

Went with the best

Had a set of 4 on my Honda Pilot when I bought it new. Used it a lot in the mountains during ski season and provided excellent traction and tread wear. It was a no brainer to get them again. Cost was a bit higher than other brands but piece of mind is priceless when it comes to the "rubber hitting the road".

Michelin is the best

I run michelins on 3 vehicles, 2 dodge diesels and a jeep grand Cherokee. The first experience I had with Michelins was on a 2004 dodge truck. They came as original equipment. After 65 thousand miles, I replaced them with michelins and installed the used tires on another truck for they had about 40 percent tread left. When my grand Cherokee needed tires, I replaced the originals with michelins. They are the best.

Great Tire Design

The moment I pulled out of the parking lot after getting them, it felt as though I had just bought my vehicle new again. Very quiet, and looks like it will be great in snowy conditions. I am sold on Michelin tires. Have owned them for years. Sad to say, this is my first review. I know it will not be my last. Thank You Michelin.

Wont balance and out of round

In the last two weeks I have had two sets (265/65/17) installed and now they are coming of my 4Runner and being replaced with another brand. I have always heard that Michelin was a top tire, but my experience has been terrible. Two out of four from the last set were out of round and it didn't matter what method of balancing was used (we tried road force and traditional) and it didn't matter. The first set was worse so i expect they had the same problem. Very unhappy with the amount of time and trips to tire shop dealing with bad manufacturing / quality control. Will never purchase again.

Best truck tire on the market - bare none!

3.7 star average is nuts! I have had 2 sets of Defenders on my Ford Expedition. Nothing else compares! Amazing tread life - 70k is true. Amazing traction - WV mountains no slip, no slide, will go anywhere. Amazing quiet ride. The only tire to buy for your SUV - bare none!

Better than factory tires

On my 2017 RAM 1500 Limited, the factory tires lasted as expected, about 17k miles. I've been a Michelin LTX fan for about 15 years. The Defender LTX MS didn't disappoint. They have a MUCH smoother ride than the factory tires ever did and handle very well. I've had them a few months now and can't yet see treadwear, but I know from Michelin experience they will last many many years.

The Michelin LXT M/S ...

The Michelin LXT M/S tires I put on my truck last year, is a decision I am glad I made. But it was an easy decision to make. I already knew of Michelin's reputation for quality. My dad always bought Michelin tires for his cars. Dad was very picky about his cars and what he put in them or ON them. I feel confident on the road with my Michelins. I don't worry about the rain, the changing road conditions, or how my truck will handle with these tires. The wife's car will need new tires soon. Getting her a set of Michelins. It's a family tradition.

Smooth ride

I just drove a couple thousand miles on my new Michelin Defenders. Some of the ride was on I-40, perhaps the worst interstate in the system. But the tires smoothed the ride as much as could be expected. I wish all the money from hiway taxes went into roads for cars instead of bike lanes and squirrel sanctuaries.

I did a tremendous amount ...

I did a tremendous amount of comparison shopping before buying these tires. I was very disappointed in the tires that came on my new vehicle. They literally roared while going down the road. It was also difficult to steer. It sounded and felt like the bearings on my truck were completely wore out (with only 35,000 miles on the truck). When I put the Michelin tires on, all the noise and steering issues went away. It is amazing what a difference a tire can make. I am a loyal customer of Michelin brand tires. After over 25 years of driving, I have never had a bad experience with any Michelin product. Michelin is the only tire I buy.
