Have had direct experience with this particular tire since 2006 when they were supplied as original equipment on the Honda Ridgeline. Now as a retired import technician, I can honestly say that I have never seen a problem with these tires under normal driving conditions. With normal tire rotation, tire pressure checks, and correct wheel alignment, I have seen them last well past 130,000 kilometres before reaching the wear markers. They are a great tire for light duty trucks and SUV's. I personally recommended and installed these tires to many customer vehicles with very positive results always. I can say with confidence that my recent set of improved LTX Defenders that I installed on my 2008 Honda Ridgeline have exceeded expectations. They are quiet, have great road feel, and improved grip in slippery conditions.

I had the Defender LTX M/S on my truck and really liked the ride and the quality of the tire. When I needed new tires for my car it was an easy choice to make. I purchased the Defender again. I feel you that you get a quality tire that provides a quiet ride and will last for many kilometres.

This tire is an excellent choice for hwy. handling. We drove 1200 miles in very wet conditions including storms and noticed immediately how much better the vehicle handled the wet pavement. Is a little noisier but I expected that being this is a SUV.

I purchased my Michelin Defender tires for my 2020 Ford Edge a little over a year ago. We had a couple of road trips on the new tires and the Defender gives a very smooth and quiet ride. The Defender LTX tires performed very well through winter as well. I would definitely recommend Michelin Defender LTX tires to anyone in need of tires.

My first several hundred miles remind me why I like Michelin tires. Smooth, responsive, quiet, sure footing. I drive mostly highway miles but have a mix of primary and secondary roads and the Defenders are a very nice match for both types of surfaces.

Although these are a M/S tire, I switch them out over the winter for winter tires. Since these were purchased for summer (non-winter) use, for those months, I'm happy with them. I like their feel and their ride is very comfortable, quiet and secure. I have no issues with them. Although I've only had them a short time, I see no reason not to recommend them.

I have had these tires for about two years now. There is just over 40,000 kilometers on them and I'm not likely to get another 10,000 out of them. To be fair the stock tires were no better but the rating on the defenders was a lot more than 50,000 kilometers.

Have had these tires for over a year. Threads are still looking brand new. Come with 80k miles, and come with free rotation from the dealer where they were purchased. Will definitely be putting the same tires when I replace my wife's SUV tires this winter

I bought my latest set of these Michelin tires about six months ago and they are as I expected them to be, quiet, smooth riding and showing very little tread wear. They have trouble free as well, but this is not a surprise to me, as I have had several sets of Michelins over the years. They are my go to brand of tires for sure. Trouble free and outstanding wear performance. Highly recommended if you are looking for the same. I will buy again without any hesitation for sure.

I absolutely love these tires and honestly, I wouldn't put anything else on my vehicle. The lasts set I purchased lasted 9 years! No, o don't drive a lot, but I live in Charleston, SC, and the summer sun and sea breeze can wreck a good thing fast. These tires hold up!!! They have excellent traction and they are just glide down the road.
