These replaced OE Goodyear RS-A’s. One of the Goodyear’s suffered a belt separation and complete failure while towing. The Defender’s have a more comfortable ride and better traction, particularly in the rain. This Michelin was a significant upgrade.

Michelin Tires have become the standard tire of choice for my family's vehicles. The tread wear is excellent and in fact my daughter exceeded the tire tread warranty by 15,000 mile on her Chevy Equinox. The tires ride very smooth and quiet. I have confidence in the tires whether driving in and around town or out of town vacations.

This set of tires were purchased about 5 years ago. I have driven the tires +/- 75,000 miles. They still have good tread are wearing smooth and have never had a flat tire. I have them on my GMC Yukon 1997 and am very happy with them. I highly recommend these tires to anyone under any conditions.

These particular tires were OE on my 14 Edge. They're rated at 55,000 miles - I just replaced them at 72,700! They had at least 5K left on them but they were approaching 10 years old. Besides being a great tire in itself, maintaining factory recommended tire pressures and rotating them every 5K miles I'm sure played a major role! I've been a satisfied Michelin customer since my 1st set of Michelin X radials in 1973. I've tried the other brands and they're not even close. Thanks Michelin!

I have been in the automotive business for 24 years and seen all brands and makes of tires. Michelin tire outride and outlast all other brands. Of all the tire failures I have seen in that time I can count on one hand the number of Michelin tires that have failed pretty remarkable.

I bought these tires less than a year ago, I have put about 4,000 miles on them and I really dislike them. There is no smooth ride and they are so noisy it's frustrating. I was told by the tire shop to give them some time since they are new but there has been zero change. I don't even like driving my vehicle anymore because of the tires. I really wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately aside from the warranty I would never recommend these to anyone.

I've been waiting for some ice and snow to test these little babies! We got it now, here in Montana!! At first, I was concerned that these tires would be too noisy or reduce fuel economy too much on my 2013 RAV 4. Totally unfounded!! These seem to be great tires here in snow country! The rubber compound seems soft and tacky in the cold temps, and seems to grip the roadways better. Braking in snowy/icy conditions feels strong and I just plowed thru 9" fresh snow confidently They give me a soft, comfortable ride on the hiway. I am totally pleased with my purchase so far (about 1500 miles on them) and plan to put a set on our Honda CRV.

I was a Michelin Man for life until I got 50,000 miles out of my 70,000 mile LTX M/S tires. I paid the higher price to get the mileage that Michelin is known for so I'm really disappointed. My friends are saying the same- they just don't last like they used to. I highway drive back and forth to work and do the occasional hunting trips in my Nissan Titan LE so there is no reason on my part for the excessive tire wear. Sure, to make it better they will give me the 20% for the wear but that does not cover (1) the extra I paid to begin with and (2) all of the extra cost of going thru the mounting process 20,000 miles earlier than expected.

I recently bought a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace a set of Michelin Latitude tires that came on my Grand Cherokee. The ride is much rougher with the Defender tires than the Latitude tires. The road noise is also higher with the Defender tires. I am disappointed with the Defender tires.

overall I really like the tires. They are probably the best tires I have owned so far. I like them so much I just put a set on my mom Pathfinder and it also made a huge improvement over the stock tires. Even my mom said she could feel a big difference.
