Good tires but I have an issue

The tires look great, seem to handle fine and tread depth looks deeper than some. (Maybe it just looks that way) Now, a couple of issues: I had them mounted on my original rims which were running the previous tires just fine. When I first start driving there is considerable vibration at 100kph for about the first 10 kilometers. Then it goes away and they are fine. I had the tire shop rebalance them and I have the same issue. They don't know why this happens so I guess I'll live with it. The second thing I should mention is that they are quite noisy on the road. (Noisier than my winter tires) I'm guessing that probably my set is just unusual as I didn't read anything about the vibration issue when I was researching the tires.

Riding on rocks
2 out of 5 stars review

Performance okay, ride is the worst.

First of all, the tire performance has been pretty good in all sorts of weather conditions. At times I’ve experienced light hydroplane issues on my 2017 F-150 2x4 XLT SuperCrew. My biggest issue, and why I despite these tires is the ride. After maybe 9 on the of running them, the ride degraded quickly. They ride like rocks, and every bump has the potential to send jarring shock waves down your rear end and back. It’s really bad. I have had the truck checked, I’ve changed shocks and everything is fine. I’m now approaching time to replace and it’s genuinely the worst ride I’ve had in my 40 years of trucks. I really don’t understand this as I have always used Michelin as my top choice.

exellent tires for a long time

This is the 3rd set of this set of tires that I have purchased for this truck. All of them have given me more miles that the warranty will cover and the handling and comfort have always been top notch. I originally purchased them because i was told the noise was very low. This has been true, I hear very little road noise. That’s saying a lot because this truck has been driven across the country 3 times.

Like an old friend.Old

I’ve used Michelin tires for probably 40 years. I have never had any problems with them. I’m getting old now and my last set of tires aged out and still had more than half of the tread left. Bought a new complete set of the same type of (Michelin Defenders) tires. I suspect these will be my last set before I have to turn in my drivers license as I will be very close to 90 years old by then.

Cuts through rain soaked roads like nothing.

I installed the Defenders back in June 25 and immediately noticed a difference in ride smoothness and noise. Most importantly, I have driven through some heavy rain downpours and found these tires cut through the water like it wasn’t even there… I feel very safe having these Defenders on my Ram 1500. Highly recommend them.

My trucks original tires were Goodyear Wrangler. They were all right but these are the best I've had them before in the past. Quiet handling is far better. More durable just overall a much better tire and Canadian made maybe! I am very happy with my Michelin tires!

Great value and performance for the price.

The tires were offered for a fair price, which included a military discount. I am very satisfied with the tire's performance and handling. I have only had them for a few months, but have taken a few multi-state trips and the tires handled great on the Interstates.

Quiet, firm and grip like hell

Michelin has never let me down after 55 years of buying their tires. I purchased the Defender LTX M/S2 tires for my 1500 series pickup truck because I wanted good traction on wet slippery roads when I travel. These tires are quiet and the sidewalls are firm enough to help my truck stay level in curves. They blend perfectly with my air-ride suspension. I feel safe with these tires.
