My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Bought my Honda Ridgeling new with this tire on it in 2006. Bought my first set of replacements last week after putting 100,000 miles on the original set! Incredible as that may sound they could have kept going!!! South Texas can be really hard on tires but these stood up like a champ. I'm not the type of person that would write a review on a product (first time) but this was just amazing and i have to send a thanks to Michelin. You made a believer out of me.

The tires I have on my GMC 2500 Suburban are LTX265/75R16.There is only one brand at the top... Michelin! They have over 40,000 miles and have over the original tread remaining. It seems that they are the only manufacturer of tires capable of making a tire suitable for the weight and payload of any vehicle without compromising performance and wear. I have experienced this over the past 35 years time and time again. Kudos to the engineers at Michelin.

Best set of tires that I've ever owned. Currently have over 85,000 miles on them. Excellent wet pavement characteristics. Low noise even after many miles. Only issue was rubber dry cracking around rim bead within first 15,000 miles which has not seemed to affect tire life.

I knew the Michelin name and respected the value and legacy. These tires have performed above my expectations and then some! They show little wear after 20k and will last well into the 50k mile mark. I would recommend Michelin as the last tire you will ever buy. These are my first set, and I am very pleased!

Absolutely the best tires I have ever purchased. Not only do they handle the road surfaces, they wear evenly and for a greater mileage distance. Others just don't measure up. They outperform their competitors hands down. Better tread design and lettering also gives them a hands up as far as appearance is concerned. On the road or dunes as I travel for fishing, you can rely on Michelin. Rain, snow, mud, or sand, these tires can handle quick accelerations or sudden stops.

These are the best tires at any price point I have tried. They were initially purchased for my personal vehicles and I now order them for our fleet vehicles in the oil field. They have consistently exceeded the estimated mileage life cycle. The majority of the time they are replaced due to age. They are properly maintained and rotated but it does not effect the wear as much as other tires. They are not cheap but with these...you get what you pay for in life.

My wife and I use our van for seeing America. We have made three trips since June,2012 . One trip to Colorado, one to the Everglades of Florida, and this summer to Cape Breton and PEI by way of the Maine coast. All trips were from our home in South Carolina. I check the air in all tires before each trip and trust my tires that we will have a safe trip. Michelin tires are made in our part of the state, which is one more reason to trust our tires.

These make my 2004 explorer more stable, quieter, and overall a much smoother ride. It literally changed the way the entire ride feels. It's not as splashy (sways less also) and definitely feels much more solid, but not firm or harsh. Wet weather is no problem and it handles snow well also. Would have bought M/S 2's but they were not available in size I needed fort limited edition explorer.

I bought my first set Michelin tires about 6 years ago. They exceed the estimated milage for tread life. I have Michelin tires on all three of my Vehicals and recommend Michelin tires to everyone. I would never purchase any other brand. Good job Michelin.
