Really happy with these tires

I recently acquired a set of these tires for my 2007 Landrover LR3 and have been extremely satisfied. I previously had a set of the stock tires on this vehicle. The road noise is much lower, almost non-existent with these tires and the ride is much smoother. Additionally, just today I had the opportunity to try these tires out in snow and ice. We received heavy freezing rain/ice at the start of a storm that was covered with an additional four inches of snow. I expected to have at least some slipping given this combination. However, the tires were rock steady and did not slip at all. I live in a subdivision that never gets plowed early at the top of a hill and had no issues getting up or down steep hill in this SUV that weights about 6000 pounds. Am very happy with these tires. One of the best purchases I have made in a while.

Great Tires

I have a 2007 hydai vericruze and Had the first set of these tires put on at 65000 miles on truck and just had them replace at 138000 miles.that over 70,000 miles on the last set and only reson I replace them because state inspection makes it were it has to be 2/32 or more tread to past and we were right at 2/32 tread. This has been great tires and that is the reason I replace with same tires and would recomend Michelin Tires to anyone who wants a great tire and knows they will be safe driving on them.

Well made tire

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.

Dependable LT/crossover tire

I have put about 30,000 miles on Defender LTX M/S in all weather and they handle very well on my Honda Pilot. Stop wining about noise! These are noisier than passenger rated tires as these tires are light truck/crossover tires and are able to handle higher weights and loads. I run them about 4 lbs higher pressure than the SUV door sticker for higher vehicle load per the Michelin spec.

Reliable

I drive a Ford F250 diesel to Mexico and back each year pulling a 10,000 lb trailer so tires are important. I am into my third set of Defenders which realistically last about 75,000 km before tread wear begins to be an issue for long distance travel. Of the 15,000 km per year I drive the truck, half of it is pulling a trailer. I choose these tires not only because Ford recommends them but also because they give me very good fuel economy even pulling a trailer (17 L/km pulling and 8 L/km not pulling).

Great Tires

I bought a used Honda Ridgeline in 2008 that had these tires. About 200k miles and 4 sets of tires later, I am looking for another set of these tires. I average about 600 miles a week and living in Colorado I see all kinds of inclement weather and road conditions (even dirt!). These tires have saved my life more than once. Highly recommended! Long life and great traction in all kinds of conditions. And doing a ton of hi-speed (avg 80mph) driving, these tires spin smooth and I have no complaints on road noise.

Not Impressed

These tires are very middle of the road in my opinion. Pros: They are quiet, good dry handling, and great for fuel economy. Cons: I've had them for 10,000 Miles, and they are over 1/2 way worn already. They are terrible on snow, ice, slush, mud, or any slippery surface for that matter. The term "All Season" is a total joke. Now, I know they are not snow or mud tires, but I would expect better performance than these offer in those conditions. Will be switching over to Cooper, Goodyear, or Falken.

The main reason I buy ...

The main reason I buy Michelin tires for my truck is they are economical to use. They cost less than any tires that I used, based on full life of tire. My Michelin�s have over 70K miles and they have a lot of thread left. The originals where totally gone after 44k with using the spare tire in the rotation on a dually.

Great Tires!

I've only had these tires for two months. So far, they are excellent in all aspects. No noise! They look great! They provide a smooth ride! This is the fifth set of Michelin tires for my truck and so far I have never gone wrong with staying with Michelin. Worth the money

Premature tread wear on Michelin Latitude Tour HP Tires

I just took my 2013 Volvo XC 90 in for service and was told that I have to replace my Michelin Tour HP Tires after 20,000 miles. The tread depth was 3/32" or less. Seems like premature tread wear to me, although I didn't have the tires rotated as suggested. I had to replace the last set because the treads were damaged by rocks.
