Long time Michelin fan. 2 months ago we had Defenders installed on our 2017 Ram 1500 and compared to the worn OEM tires, these are very quiet. One concern (or complaint) is that on gravel roads, they pick up and throw rocks… a lot more than any tire I've ever owned. I may have to swap these if I determine the rocks are causing damages.

Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.

You replaced my LTX tires under Warranty, these fit on a 2003 ford E250 cargo van, I always got excellent mileage out of these tires includeing the ones you recalled from me, we replaced these on 239,450 miles, I have 270,418 miles on van at present and the only have 4//32 0f tire tread left, shouldn`t wore down this fast, as I keep my tires balanced and rotated every 5000 miles for life extention . they now have only 30,968 miles on them, this van is on the road and expressway frequently. just curious if this was normal mileage , your warranty states this is a 70,000 mile tire, if so I am 4/32 from being bald, thank you

Have put on about 20,000 mile on these - medium use and mostly highway. wearing down pretty quickly in less than 1 year. not my previous experience with the Defender tires - they lasted 100k+ miles. Michelin - am questioning why I paid a premium for durability based upon previous performance now. Hopefully they will last. Don't appear to handle dirt/gravel roads as well as advertised/expected. I only buy this brand and this model for my p/u and SUVs. Am reconsidering now with my newest experience.

Last week I had 4 new defender ltx tires mounted and balanced (P265/60r18). About 100 miles later the whole rear end of my truck now shakes like crazy when traveling between 55-60mph. I drove right back and they tell me that my rear 2 tires have "factory defects". I'm having them replaced tomorrow.

This is my second set of Defender LTX M/S Tires. Stayed with this Michelin brand because of their reliability in all kinds of weather and the durability I have experienced during my (2) cross country trips. Reliability and durability equal safety which is important when it comes to my family.

Tires have been on this vehicle for two weeks tops. first bad ice/snow storm we got 2/4/2022 upstate ny. WOW this vehicle performed 110% didn't slide all over even when I tried to make it loose traction, last month we had snow and I was running the stock Bridgestone dueler tires that came with the vehicle. What a joke them tires are. If Michelin continue to make these tires my 2022 highlander will soon get a brand new pair of defenders LTX m/s. I'm probably just going to remove the Goodyear tires that came with the vehicle. Great job Michelin..

I have Michelins on 2 of 3 of my trucks. I decided to 'save a few bucks' and went with Bridgestones. I was not happy with the performance since day one. They lasted about 40k miles and were horrible. Two of them leaked and had to be pumped up weekly. I'm back on to Michelins and I won't stray again!

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.

I was a Michelin Man for life until I got 50,000 miles out of my 70,000 mile LTX M/S tires. I paid the higher price to get the mileage that Michelin is known for so I'm really disappointed. My friends are saying the same- they just don't last like they used to. I highway drive back and forth to work and do the occasional hunting trips in my Nissan Titan LE so there is no reason on my part for the excessive tire wear. Sure, to make it better they will give me the 20% for the wear but that does not cover (1) the extra I paid to begin with and (2) all of the extra cost of going thru the mounting process 20,000 miles earlier than expected.
