best tire on the market

without a doubt the best overall tires on the market. Best ride , wear and over all the best I have bought and would not buy anything else. Have bought 4 sets on different trucks in the last 15 to 20 years and never had a problem out of any of them and ran them all about 100,000 miles.

Tires were great on my SUV

Even wear on a ford SUV almost unheard of. By far the best tires I have ever had on a all wheel drive SUV. No they are not mud tires but on and off road traction has been wonderfull they even do good on the beach in the sand. 70, 000+ miles. They do great on the ohio snow covered roads, the beach on the east cost and the wet or dry highway. Very quiet and smooth on the road. I never right reviews most things just don't impress me enough to spend the time but this was the best upgrade for my mercury mountainer. This coming from a auto and truck repair technician with 20 plus years on the job.

This is the second time ...

This is the second time I've replaced the original tires on a Suburban with your product. I'm amazed how much your tires improve the vehicle. It rides better, performs better and significantly reduced road noise. Add to this long-life your tires deliver, and you have a loyal customer!

Just bought 3rd Set

I am fairly picky and just bought my 3rd set. First set was bought due to high road noise for tires that came with car. First set only lasted 55k but my daily driver never rotated her tires so tread wear not even and had to turn em in early. First set was so quiet I went with a 2nd set but this time daily driver was religious about rotating tires so going with a third set after 83k miles.

Probably the best tire ...

Probably the best tire out there. I live on a dirt road which becomes a mud road when it rains and snows. No problems getting through when conditions are rough. This tire beats them all for mileage ratings. Smooth on passenger cars and durable on SUV's. Don't change this one at all! I would like to see this tire in more sizes.

Excellent Tire for the Chevy Silverado

I bought this tire a couple of weeks ago and can not believe the difference this tire has made in the performance of my Silverado. It doesn’t feel like the same truck. Ride, steering, tracking in dry, wet and off road conditions is Excellent, with no noticeable noise. This is a very comfortable riding tire for a truck. Highly recommend these tires. Defender LTX M/S 275/50R22 111H.

Poor tread wear. Only 4/32nds left at 39k miles.

This is the 3rd set of Michelin tires I have purchased. I have been sold on them for years. I purchased these in Feb 2017 for my wife's 2002 Ford Ranger Tremor. This is the second set that's been on her truck. My truck also has a set on it. The last set lasted 60k miles when I replaced them. I researched your site for the "New" Defender LTX M/S replacement tires with 70k mile tread wear warranty that supposedly lasts longer than the old LTX M/S 2 tires I replaced. I was "SOLD". Sadly the new tires have 39k miles on them and only have 4/32nds tread left on all 4 tires. I had the front end rebuilt with new control arms, drove it to tire store with old tires, bought new tires and had the alignment done. I rotate the tires myself every other oil change, done at 3k miles for a 6k mile total on tires. I keep the tire pressure checked year round and have had the alignment checked twice since buying them. They are all wearing even across the tire with no cupping or uneven wear showing. I am disappointed that I now need new tires again with just over half the miles warranted. I will contact your company to see how good the warranty is as I have been a loyal customer. Thank you. P.S. We love the ride quality and no road noise of these tires too. Just don't last. Sad!

Fantastic tire, worth every penny!

My 2008 Honda Ridgeline came with these tires as original equipment. At 68,000 miles they still had tread that would pass inspection but I knew that coming into winter I better start looking to replace. I was thinking I may try a cheaper brand and save some bucks so I shopped around. I finally came to my senses and replaced with the OE LTX tires. After doing the math, I would likely not get the same miles or quality ride out of cheap tires. If I got 68,000 miles out of the first set I hope I get 75,000 out of the second set. Cost per mile works out to be less with the Michelins. Truck rides like new again and I can confidently travel the Pennsylvania winters with no worries.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

Thanks for the honest feedback. Sounds like you’ve been taking great care of your tires, so we totally get your frustration. The Defender LTX M/S is designed for long-lasting traction, but performance can vary depending on wear, road conditions, and vehicle setup. We’d recommend having a local dealer take a look to see what’s going on. And if you want to chat with us directly, feel free to call 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) —we’re happy to help!

My new LTS M/S look great too!

My new LTS M/S tires look much better than the sample picture Michelin has posted. The sidewalls have a nice look and the tread looks better. If these tires get the miles that Michelin claims, and if all the positive reviews I have read are true, than I may be one happy new tire buyer. I will let you all know if I get the 60k+ miles in a few years.
