Awesome Tire for all around use

I've changed the tires that came w/ my Honda Pilot to the LTX M/S. We drive onto the beach in DE, w/ 6 other families. We all have these tires. From my stand point; there are 2 big pluses I have seen. When driving onto the beach I only have to drop the pressure down to 25 psi and most of the time I don't have to drive in 4x4. The second feature is the way these tire handle in the wet weather, one word AWESOME! I would recommend thses to a friend, because friends have highly recommened them to me.

After 20K, they get real squirrely

After 20 years of buying Michelins, 1st time disappointed, very disappointed. With 20K of miles over 2 years, you won't want to drive these in wet or snow. Normal inflation checks & rotation was done. It was just amazing to me the dramatic decline in performance after 20,000 miles. Didn't notice any above average road noise & the Honda Element is a gas hog for a 4cylinder engine & 5-speed, so didn't notice gas mileage improvements or decline.

Extremely Dissatisfied

I purchased a new set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace my worn tires on my Honda CR-V. I did about two months of research and found the Defenders to be the best value for what I needed in snow and highway conditions. I can not express how disappointed I am with the handling and ride comfort of these tires. The slightest gust of wind nearly knocks me off of the road as well as extreme vibrations at 60 - 70 mph. Cornering and fast manuvering is nearly impossible and extremly dangerous at highway speeds. I have had these tires rebalanced twice as well as having my CR-V looked over by the Honda dealership to see if it was a problem with my car. I was told by the dealership that it was the new Defenders I had installed and that there are no issues with my vehicle. This was my first and will be my last Michelin purchase.

Michelin Defender LTX MS

I've had these tires on my 2019 Nissan Titan for a couple of years. I don't change them to winter tires in the winter but they work just fine, despite the amount of snow we get. I would prefer if they would have kept the all weather version with the snowflake so I meet all government requirements, even though the all weather wears a little faster.

These tires are very quiet and offer a comfortable ride

These tires were purchased Feb. 26, 2021 on a new vehicle. The date today is June 19, 2023. I have driven 18,500 miles since my purchase and the wear bars have already shown on two of the tires and the other two tires are close behind. This is only with highway driving. I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin Premier LTX tires. Needless to say, these tires have shown excessive wear.

They keep going, going and going!!

My Michelins have been on my old pick up truck since 1999 and they are still going strong...however, it is about time to replace them. My truck is used sparingly and certainly not every day. I've never had a flat or any trouble at all with them. They just keep going, going and going. They look great and perform great. What else can you ask for. My tires actually are worth more than the value of my truck. But I wouldn't part with my truck or my Michelins. We have a good thing going!!

Best tires in the market

Michelin tires are so reliable that my husband and I won't buy any other brand for our vehicles. They make the ride smooth and perform with excellence on wet roads. Here in Florida, the roads can turn treacherous at times due the so called "Florida ice", but we are confident our Michelin tires will always keep us safe. We recommend these tires for their quality, durability, and reliability. Thank you Michelin tires!!!!

1.5 years in and now the loudest set of tires

I owned Defenders previously, until 2018 when I replaced them with these current (2011 Highlander SUV). And now at speeds over 40 mph the oscillating sound is so loud and driving me nuts. I read a review when I bought these suggesting they are loud and now I believe it. Don't buy these -I don't know why Michelin can't design a quieter tire for SUVs. They have always been my go-to brand for my sedans.

Tough Tires

Completed a 17,000 trip to Northern Canada including Dempster Highway which is known to chew up tires. Did a tire rotation halfway through trip and they are still looking good with no abnormal tire wear or damage. Have purchased many Michelin tires over the years and they are the best in terms of coming close to advertised wear life but you do need need to keep them inflated properly, balanced and do the rotations on a regular basis.
