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!

Verified Purchase

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted the same exact tires I already had. Walmart had them for a great price and scheduling installation was simple

Michelin Tires are the Best

Michelin tires are the only tires I will buy. They provide a comfortable ride and I feel safe with them on my car. They always seem to last a pretty long time, as well. They also perform very well in all types of weather conditions, especially rain & snow.

Best Passenger Vehicle Tire Out There

Hands down, these are the best tires on the market for passenger vehicles. I've had these tires on 3 different vehicles now. 2 pickups and an SUV. Excellent traction, very smooth ride, and great durability. Provides confidence when on snow, ice, water or other slippery surfaces. Until one of these fails me prematurely, I will never put a different tire on any of my vehicles.

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.

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

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.

premature wear

These tires came on my 2018 RAV4. With only 39,000 miles, the center tread is completely smooth. I've owned many sets of Michelin tires and never had any wear out so soon.

Don't Buy if you Will Need in Snow

Very disappointed. Short 30k warranty, which I was ok with. Ride on dry conditions feels unstable and in snow they are HORRIBLE! Twice I was driving in snow and both times I had to go to right lane and put my hazard lights on I was driving so slow - being passed by every small car on the interestate. Would never buy again.
