Only tires that I buy....Michelin Defenders. Number one tires for SUVs!

Best tires that I have bought!

Extremely smooth. quiet and great rolling resistance. they coast beautifully.

I have had many sets of Michelin tires. (Probably close to 8.) Only 2 bad tires they replaced without issue. I have these tires on my wife's Sequoia and my mother's 4 runner. Excellent tires on them. I bought these for my 2020 F250. These are HORRIBLE at throwing rocks! The grooves in the center of the tire (there's 5 of them if I recall) love to grab rocks from gravel driveway/roads and kick them up on my truck. These would hold rocks even at high speed and eject them when doing 80 mph on freeway. I have no idea why those grooves need to be so wide on a highway tire??

I bought a set of Michelin P245/70 R16 LXT for my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee all wheel drive a few years back now the tires have over 101000 miles on them. I measured the tread today and all tires are still have from .192 to .222 thousants of an inch of tread left. The most I have ever gotten out of previous tires is 65000 miles. Thesr are great tires and I insisted that a car I bought in 2011 had Michelins on it. Thank You Jim

Replaced stock tires on 2008 Z71 with LTX-m/s and they are so quiet and ride so good it is like a new truck. Still checking gas mileage as it may have dropped a little. Also put a set of michelin tires on wifes 2010 Maxima and the ride is like a new car.

I had these tires installed to replace the original equipment at 31,254 miles. I now have more than 68,500 miles with excellent tread. When they need replacing, I plan to use Michelin tires. I said N/A relating to off road use, since I probably have less than 800 off road miles.

I owned Defenders previously, until 2018 when I replaced them with these current (2011 Highlander SUV). And now at speeds over 40 mph the oscillating sound is so loud and driving me nuts. I read a review when I bought these suggesting they are loud and now I believe it. Don't buy these -I don't know why Michelin can't design a quieter tire for SUVs. They have always been my go-to brand for my sedans.

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.
