Have you had tires that did not last? Have you paid for tires that did not perform? Have you heard from a salesperson that told you how great a tire was and find out that the quality was below standard. Forturnate I experiance all of these early in life and fortuantely I bought my first Michelin tire also early in my life. I have bought only Michelin tires since I was 21 and I am 64 now. With the proper care (inflation, rotation, etc.) these tires on the average have lasted longer than the advertised rating and their tread life has been execeptional. Quality control is also outstanding as I have never had to return a tire for any type of blemish or related problem which is very important from a safety point of view. I am a long time owner of these tires as well as all of my familty who continue to rack up the miles and who contiue to experice the same satifaction and trust with the Michelin brand.

Just purchased these tires after much time reading various reviews on the internet. Wanted a tire that would offer all season reliability and still provide good traction on snow and icy road conditions. Here in Colorado they do a great job clearing the roads, but I often leave early in the mornings and it can be dangerous. We had our first snow of the season about two weeks after having these installed, and they were fantastic. They tracked extremely well in about 4" of fresh, wet snow. I never felt out of control of my vehicle. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased these tires.

I have these on my 2006 Winnebago View motor home, this is the second set the first set had great tread after close to 60K miles but time of about six years is the reason I got the new ones, there was some cracking nothing major. I feel these are the best tires I have ever owned.

I have been a Michelin customer for abouty twenty years now. I use them on my cars as well as my work trucks. The Michelin LTX M/S tire has been a real winner for me. Not only do I get excellant mileage but this tire is truely an all weather tire. I love the traction quality in snow and even on ice! This is my go to tire on all my trucks!

Over the years we've tried other tires that were supposed to be equal to Michelin, but we never got the wear out of them like we should. We had our first set of Michelins on our minivan and now are on our second set on our full size E-150. Nothing wears as well. Have considered trying others again, but we know what we get in Michelins - long wear and quality. We're customers for life.

My Michelin Defender LTS M/S are now 83,000 miles and 5 years old and still have a few hundred miles left over. I keep very good care of them and rotate them every oil change. With time tires get hard and performance gets compromised so with this heavy rains is better to change. If you get such a long life is not such a big investment at all. I strongly recommend this tire which was the OEM on my F150.

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).

Replaced my Michelin Latitude Tour HPs (after 50,000 miles) on my 2009 Acura MDX with the four new Defender LTX MS. Have had them for only a month now, but really like them. Smooth, quiet, and seem to hug the road well in wet and dry conditions. Have driven them on highway and city....perform well in both instances.

I am extremely happy with the purchase of these tires. I have a 2wd Sierra 1500 crew cab and had Goodyear wranglers prior. These Michelins are nice and tall and have a great sidewall look. The highway tread pattern looks great and had performed better. The tires are quiet on the highway and feel sturdy overall maybe slightly harder than I was used to however the beef inspires confidence when towing our 4,500 lb. camper as there is no wallow and the generally feels more capable. I would definitely purchase again.

Are there cheaper tires you can buy? Sure. But the smooth, quiet ride you get (especially in an SUV) with these tires, makes all the difference. My tire dealer actually tried to offer me a cheaper tire, but I've had the others - there is no comparison.
