Even though the tire comes in the exact size, speed rating, and load index as the original equipment tires on our car, Michelin doesn't think it fits, but I bought it anyway, and after 1000 miles, it's exceeded expectations. I do know this is basically the same tire as Defender LTX M/S, also not recommended for my vehicle, but reading some reviews for that tire, I was concerned about tire noise, ride, and wet traction. So it's a relief that the tires are quiet, and while slightly firmer than a touring tire, they're by no means uncomfortable, and I've only driven it once on a rainy day, but traction seemed fine. Another concern was that each tire is about 3 pounds heavier than the original tires, so I expected some loss of fuel economy, but it's only 1 MPG less than the previous tires, which were worn almost down to the wear bars, so would have less rolling resistance than new tires. Finally, I've taken it on a rough, unimproved road, after breaking it in for 500 miles, and it handled that perfectly as well. Overall, I can't be more pleased, and recommend it to owners of Outbacks with the 225/65r17 tires, who want to occasionally drive off the pavement and not worry about sidewall damage driving on a street tire.

Only had these tires a few days but the very reason I bought them was for the rain (Washington) and I got the chance to put them to the test. A few days before I purchased these tires I did not feel safe on the rain and the tires I replaced were not severally worn. The stability and performance doing the rain was amazing never felt safer with the purchase of these Michelin tires.

I bought these a few years ago and I’m sorry to say that they have worn much faster than advertised. They are somewhat loud on the highway but that is certainly not a dealbreaker. I’ve always been a big fan of Michelin tires but this set was disappointing. I’m ready for a new set of tires and I only have 46,000 miles on what’s supposed to be a 70,000 mile tire.

I bought these to replace another brands high efficient tire which gave great gas milage but terrible traction in the snow. These are great in the snow, with quite ride, and good handling on the highway. Did lose 2-3mpg on average though.

Best tire's money money can buy.. look great, ride great. The old saying you get what you pay for don't waste your money on the discount tires that don't last

I bought the set of tires for my older SUV. I can't believe what a difference these tires made on the ride. Just finished a 500 mile trip and it made our SUV feel like a new vehicle. Very nice riding tire.

I have 110K on these tires, still with plenty of tread, but the rubber is now dry and cracking, so I am replacing them. They have been great through many trips to the ski basin and my 100 mile per day commute.

I decided to give Michelin one last chance with a set I purchased in 2015 for a 05 Pilot. The previous set lasted all of 47000 miles and I thought maybe I got a bad set. The set I purchased in 2015 are showing the same low durability at 41000. Alignments and air pressure have been maintained but apparently they're too soft for the Alabama heat and roadways. You won't see anything close to 70000 with this tire (at least in the south). I'm done with Michelin.

I put these on my ‘18 F-150 and couldn’t be happier. Only 2,000 miles so far but they’re quiet, comfortable and they track nicely on the highway.

They were brand new when I bought a 2007 jeep liberty sport. So far so good. Got 6" snow overnight, and not a problem.
