I have used bought 2 sets of Defender LTX M/S for my 2013 Toyota Highlander and each time I have been very pleased with both the wear and performance of these tires. First set lasted around 70-80K miles and the current set has been on for ~20K miles and look barely used. These tires have lasted much better than the Bridgestone tires that originally came on the vehicle and also ride much smoother. Just got back from a road trip (8 hours there, 8 hours back) and several times literally thought to myself how pleased I was with the smoothness of the ride. I can only guess that the other reviewers with poor reviews are either fake or there is some other issue other than the tires (wheel alignment or bent rim or installation issues). I use Michelin on all of my vehicles and I have recommended Defenders to multiple of my friends based on my experience with these tires and all of them have been very pleased also.

I purchased these tires for my FWD Honda Element in 2006. They have lasted me about 120,000 miles and 8 years. There are sometimes it was poor in snow, but I always made it through. This is a good long lasting tire. Since they longer make it in my size I now have the Latitude Tour, and will use winter tires in the winter.

I replaced the factory tires at 25,000 miles and they are going strong with plenty of life left after 70,000. I definitely will be buying Michelin again when I replace the tires on this truck and the Michelins on our second car. Great traction in year round driving and quiet ride.

Mine are the old style ltx and 6 years old with 87,000 current miles on them. The vehicle came with lattitudes that wore out at 77,000. I rotate myself every 5,000 and keep track of the correct rotation in a book. They show slight signs of sun wear and I'll change them before the next winter with an amazing amount of tread left. People still ask if I just bought new tires. Best handling, noise and wear tires I've ever owned!

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

These tires came as standard equipment on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. At 85,000 miles they needed to be replaced. The folks at the tire dealer thought I was crazy for putting such expensive tires on an older truck, but I told them that I planned to drive it until this set of tires wear out and I would be making money with the more expensive tire.

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.

Even wear on a ford SUV almost unheard of. By far the best tires I have ever had on a all wheel drive SUV. No they are not mud tires but on and off road traction has been wonderfull they even do good on the beach in the sand. 70, 000+ miles. They do great on the ohio snow covered roads, the beach on the east cost and the wet or dry highway. Very quiet and smooth on the road. I never right reviews most things just don't impress me enough to spend the time but this was the best upgrade for my mercury mountainer. This coming from a auto and truck repair technician with 20 plus years on the job.

I trust my 4WD Jeep and our lives to our Michelin Tires. In all kinds of weather and road conditions, I have found none any better. The smooth, quiet ride and excellent mileage without having flats are specifics that are important to us. We have no complaints because we chose Michelin as the best and they are!

I have had Michelin tires on my last 3 vehicles. I usually change tires at 70,000 miles but Michelin tread looks like it could go 100,000 or more. The last set I had put on had to be patched on 2 of the tires due to road debris causing a flat. never knew they had ever been patched, still had 40,000 miles put on them and then I sold the vehicle. I highly recommend Michelin tires since they never seem to lose their edge.
