I have this tire on a 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE Tire is very comfortable and quiet. I like the wet and dry performance of this tire even when pushed hard. It can easily handle the 306hp the highlander has to offer during hard acceleration, braking and turning.

Have had direct experience with this particular tire since 2006 when they were supplied as original equipment on the Honda Ridgeline. Now as a retired import technician, I can honestly say that I have never seen a problem with these tires under normal driving conditions. With normal tire rotation, tire pressure checks, and correct wheel alignment, I have seen them last well past 130,000 kilometres before reaching the wear markers. They are a great tire for light duty trucks and SUV's. I personally recommended and installed these tires to many customer vehicles with very positive results always. I can say with confidence that my recent set of improved LTX Defenders that I installed on my 2008 Honda Ridgeline have exceeded expectations. They are quiet, have great road feel, and improved grip in slippery conditions.

These tires have a definite rumble at speeds over 70 mph, I have had the tires rebalanced 2Xs and frontend alignment, and new brakes, still a problem, when I put my 3 year old snow tires back on, the rumble is gone and much smoother ride than the Michelin brand

I've logged 30,000 km so far on these tires. They are quiet and have remarkable traction and grip in snow and rain. I've had Michelin tires on all my vehicles for the past 40 years, except once when I tried another brand. I was sorry I did and changed back to Michelin and won't consider another brand again.

I just replaced our 2007 Sprinter's LTX M/S 2 tires with the Defender LTX (it seems the LTX M/S 2 was replaced by these), and wanted to mention that the M/S 2's were really a great set of tires. There was still a little tread left above the wear bars at 111,000 miles over five years of driving in all sorts of Texas weather. I also ride a road bicycle and am always pleased with Michelin's bicycle tires too.

A buddy convinced me to use his tire guy, who talked me into buying bargain brand tires that saved a couple hundred bucks, over the Michelins that I've always used. I took it on a 300 mile hunting trip that weekend, and they “wallowed,” and the kicker was on the return trip from Del Rio, high winds over a long elevated bridge sent the truck into an “oscillation” that nearly put us into a head on. I took it back, paid for new Michelins and another hundred for the trouble… it was worth it! Those tires right now have 72K miles on them, and I'll probably get another 10k easy… and I don't drive bald tires!

I have been employed by Ford dealer for many years and have experience with many different tire brands. Michelin tires have always been the best built tires in my experience.The initial quality is very consistent.Today I installed 4 MICHELIN® Defender® LTX® M/S 245/65R17 tires on my 2008 Ford Explorer. I used Hunter GSP9700 balancer. All tires had Road Force Measurement less than 11 lbs. By moving tires on the rim, I managed to drop Road Force Measurements to 2 lbs,9 lbs, 4 lbs and 8 lbs and matched front tires to 0 lbs Net Pull. And this is pretty heavy truck tire. The Road Force limit for P-metric and Euro-metric tires is 26 lbs.

I have had many sets of Michelin tires. (Probably close to 8.) Only 2 bad tires they replaced without issue. I have these tires on my wife's Sequoia and my mother's 4 runner. Excellent tires on them. I bought these for my 2020 F250. These are HORRIBLE at throwing rocks! The grooves in the center of the tire (there's 5 of them if I recall) love to grab rocks from gravel driveway/roads and kick them up on my truck. These would hold rocks even at high speed and eject them when doing 80 mph on freeway. I have no idea why those grooves need to be so wide on a highway tire??

I purchased the tire set for a 2007 tundra, got about 5 years and 23000 miles and there is a decent amount of cracking and tread wear (enough to replace them). Far from the 70000 mile warranty. They were regularly rotated and taken care of, expected more from a higher priced and rated tire.

Have previously bought Michelin tires because they are pretty durable, the traction is decent and they're comfortable The handle isn't as great on my truck so I may need to look at different brands but they do work and get the job done in the summer months. But when the winter comes I have to make sure that I have a year-round tire with really good tread
