These are the best tires ...

These are the best tires at any price point I have tried. They were initially purchased for my personal vehicles and I now order them for our fleet vehicles in the oil field. They have consistently exceeded the estimated mileage life cycle. The majority of the time they are replaced due to age. They are properly maintained and rotated but it does not effect the wear as much as other tires. They are not cheap but with these...you get what you pay for in life.

Best tire I've used yet

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

Best

I have a 1998 GMC Suburban. After I wore out the factory tires at @ 25,000 miles that came on this vehicle when I bought it new. I then decided to get Michelins, from past experience. I have over 180,000 miles on my truck. I am on my second set of Michelins and still going strong. I get a consistent 70,000 to 75,000+ on these tires. You do get what you pay for absolutely. Michelin,...see ya soon for my next set.

These tires are great.

I travel in winter in northern Michigan and wanted a more aggressive tire than the touring tires that I had been using. These are rated a little lower in comfort and noise but I needed the traction and was willing to sacrifice a little. Now that I have been driving on them most of the winter, they are providing better traction in mud and snow than I expected. Also, I don't notice any increase in noise or decrease in comfort. I would recommend these for everyone.

Nice tires but the warranty is a hoax

I like the handling of these tires and they certainly were way more durable than the original tires on my Honda CR-V but this 90,000 mile treadwear warranty approaches hoax level. It won't benefit you unless you drive over 15,000 miles per year or more. Even if you rotate your tires BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER every designated period AND have that adequately documented, consider that it might take you longer than the warranty period to drive beyond the tire's ACTUAL lifespan. For me that was about 50,000, but it took me over 6 years to do it, and so out of warranty. Read the fine print - you also have to have PERFECTLY worn tires.

Good looking tire not quality

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don’t hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

Best tires I've ever had

i bought 2 245/65 17 Defender M/S tires to replace the ones i had on my pickup. I had at least 70,000 miles on the old ones. With the new Defenders my ride has been excellent and I expect the wear will be the same as the old ones. Alignment has been completed regularly and rotated ever 5000 miles.

Cross Country and a summer in Colorado!

I purchased the Michelin’s for my Silverado used to travel to-and-from New England and Colorado. The trip is 2,100 miles each way and then we alternate between paved and gravel roads in CO. The tires give a smooth and comfortable ride traveling cross country. When in CO, they are rugged enough to provide good traction on gravel and in the mud. Yet they are versatile enough to corner beautifully on the paved mountain roads. Not my first set of Michelins; certainly not my last. In fact we have similar Michelins on our other cars.

I have had 2 sets of ...

I have had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires, size P215/70R15 on my 2000 GMC Safari RWD van. The first set lasted more than 60,000 miles, and I was so pleased with the ride quality, even wear, traction under all conditions, and handling characteristics that I replaced them with an identical set when the tread wore to about 4/32 and the second set is just as good as the first. The van handles snow, icy roads, and rain with ease, and the vehicle rides smoother than with the original equipment Uniroyal Tiger Paws. These tires can be a little bit noisy on some types of concrete (they sing a little) but this is an uncommon occurrence, and overall they ride smooth, quiet, and secure. I will buy another set without question when the time comes. Neither the Safari or the tires show any signs of wearing out. I strongly recommend these tires for any light truck use, The outlined white letters add a touch of sportiness and set off the polished aluminum wheels nicely.

Disappointed

I have been a Michelin fan for 30 years. Every vehicle I have runs on Michelin rubber. I bought a set of Defender LTX M/S for my 2019 Ridgeline and could not be more disappointed. The road noise from these tires was terrible. They whined like a monster truck. I ended up replacing them with a different set of tires from another company. Another customer at the same tire store had a similar experience with the same tire. I’m hoping this is just a one off bad batch of tires and not a loss of historically great quality.
