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.

This tire is very quiet and provides an excellent ride. I thought this tire would be better in snow than it is. It's does not provide good traction in light or deep snow which is why I bought this tire in the first place. Little disappointed with the snow performance but overall a pretty good tire. This tires tread is not aggressive enough for what I need it for.

We put in a lot of driving and what's most important is the smooth and quiet ride we receive from Michelin tires. The tires wear more evenly than most tires on the market. I have to say, the previous Michelin tires (same brand) gave us a longer life; same driving pleasure, but wore out sooner.

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

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.

I recently bought four LT-MX tires for my 2011 Honda Pilot. The Honda dealer and tire dealer recommended the Latitude tire due to its smooth ride, comfort, mileage, and low noise. However, my occasional driving requires more grip, so I chose the LT-MX. My decision was largely based upon †he positive comments made by previous owners of these tires for similar vehicles and types of driving. I noticed an immediate difference in the ride from the original factory tires. The ride was smooth, steady, and not noisy at all. I plan on getting another set, when these tires are no longer serviceable.

I had Michelin Defender tires for 2 years. They were awesome! These tires really stuck to the road, and I felt safe even when it rained. They hardly wore out, so I didn't have to buy new ones. It was like having a reliable friend on the road. I'll definitely get them again. Great tires!

Best tire ever made for large vehicles that primarily drive on the street. As a small business owner with service vehicles we have purchased a lot of these tires. Why did I rate them a three? Because Michelin cares more about longevity than safety. This goes for all of their truck tires. These tires are the best tires on the road for the first 45,000 miles of tread life and then the rubber compound gets harder and harder as they continue to wear making them so slippery that they easily hydroplane and barely get a good grip on some hard dry surfaces. Do yourself a favor and consider them a 50,000 mile tire. I noticed they are fading these out for the Platinum Edition with a high mileage rating. I'll probably try them soon but I'm sure it's the same result.

The current set of Michelin Tires have been on my pickup truck for over five years. The tires have performed flawlessly. I just returned from a 5450 mile trip towing a 4500 pound camper. The tires provide excellent traction in all conditions. I recommend Michelin tires for use on pickup trucks.

The first thing that I noticed was that they were quiet. Number two, I didn't downshift into third gear climbing the bridge on my way to the gym. I stayed in overdrive and the truck pulled the hill very well. With the old tires I had to downshift to get over the bridge. Thirdly, the traction difference is very noticeable and lastly my handling has improved. I should see an improvement in my gas usage per mile. Excellent choice for me. This my second set as I put a set on my other truck. Highly recommend these tires.
