Love my Michelins!

My Michelin's are a great performer. They hug the highway and take curves at high speed with ease. I can trek through snow and rain with confidence as tires give me traction to pull through an intersection or the bite to stop on a dime. I love, love, love my Michelin's.

Excellent pickup truck tire!

Awesome all season traction. These replaced my worn out AT2 tires that I also liked. When the new defenders were installed, I noted an average 28 to 32 km gain per tank of fuel for my truck. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend them for any light duty pickup truck owner

Defender LTX M/S (vs original Premier LTX)

I replaced to Defender LTX M/S from original Premier LTX which was recommended as 'same' by tire specialist for my Pacifica Limited AWD. Wrong! It is noisy and bouncy at all speed. Also lost 0.3 mpg. No big deal on mpg loss. This tire may be better fit for pickups and off roads.

Terrible Tramlining

I have always liked the performance of my Michelin tires but the tramlining on this set is a definite negative. I truly would not have purchase them had I known that it would be this noticeable. I needed new tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I put on about 35K miles a year so I didn't hesitate getting these as I have never had this problem with other Michelin's on my cars. Very irritating considering half of my daily commute is on grooved pavement.

GREAT TIRE

I bought these tires in June 2021 and really like the way the handle the road. The only thing I do not like about them is they sling gravel or catch (pick up) items off the roadway, I have running boards but you can hear the gravel hit the under truck or the running boards. I don't know if over time it will chip my vehicel. I had the AT/2 Michelins up to 181 thousand on truck and had no complaints there but these had 10 thousand extra miles on the life of tire so thought I would try them out, so we'll see.

Well made tire

I have been employed by Ford dealer for many years and have experience with many different tire brands. Michelin tires have always been the best built tires in my experience.The initial quality is very consistent.Today I installed 4 MICHELIN® Defender® LTX® M/S 245/65R17 tires on my 2008 Ford Explorer. I used Hunter GSP9700 balancer. All tires had Road Force Measurement less than 11 lbs. By moving tires on the rim, I managed to drop Road Force Measurements to 2 lbs,9 lbs, 4 lbs and 8 lbs and matched front tires to 0 lbs Net Pull. And this is pretty heavy truck tire. The Road Force limit for P-metric and Euro-metric tires is 26 lbs.

Poor tire for dirt road usage.

I have these tires on my 06 4X4 Dodge Diesel and they are not at all to be used on regular dirt roads (not off-roading). I have gotten two flats where the tires were penetrated by a rock. Too expensive for the quality of tire. This tire is designed for people that never get off the highway for anything.

Really Great Road tires for a truck/suv

2018 Frontier PRo-4x. Replaced OEM tires with these since i am not a true off roader, and mainly on highway. I picked up 2mpg+ with these. Rolling resistance is awesome, stopping ,and more importantly cornering is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better. Great road Manners. Slightly stiffer than the softwall off road tires i had. But these work just nice. not to mention, they can go to 80psi???? WOW... NOT that iw ould do that. My first set was bad, the dealer did a warranty claim, and as soon as i rolled out i knew right away how great these were. Makes the truck more of a nice commuter truck now, with the ability to "trucK" when needed. I really do enjoy these, and the improved gas mileage is with the AC on all the time soo, so perhaps 3mpg or so improvement.... This replacement set used way less weights, and again these tires really do look so nice. Gives the truck an upscale "gentlemans" look if you get my point. GREAT road manners, it's still a truck, but GREAT road manner improvements.

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.

New tires, let's roll..

Just replaced Yokohama tires with 64,000 on tires, dealers mentioned that they no longer carry them so he suggested the Michelins Defender LTX MS for my suburban. Now let's see how they perform on the highway, pulling cars to shows in this desert climate. Looks nice brings back that OEM look to the unit. Now had a fair experience with prior warranty on tread life, let's see how this round goes..
