Got a good price on these ...

Got a good price on these tires over the phone. Salesman switched me to a house brand. We could not get the vibration balanced out after 3 times including a "road force" balance. I insisted he take them off and give me the Michelins for which I originally asked. We installed the Michelins and with one or two tiny weights, instead of all the heavy ones on all the wheels, I have the smoothest ride anyone could ask for. It made me remember the words of a friend who was a service advisor for a car dealer who told people with balance problems, "do yourself a favor and let me sell you some Michelins. In every case it solved the problem. I will ONLY use Michelins!

Tires are good for what ...

Tires are good for what it does. Good tracing in the snow and they last a long time. A few gripes that I have is the loud road noise that comes from the tires at high speeds. In addition, two of the four tires I bought were not good since even after multiple balancing and even having my rims checked for deformities, the tires would wobble when the car was in motion. Brought it up with the place where I bought it from and they said it was all right, but my mechanic said that should not be the case and that the tires should be like the other non-problematic one.

I live in northern Maine ...

I live in northern Maine and installed these on my Jeep Wrangler in late summer. The interstate up here has some very deep grooves in the road and hydroplaning is an issue in even moderate rain. The tires performed very well going through the pooled water on the roadway as I never felt any loss of traction with the road surface. Winter is just starting but for the first couple of storms and icy conditions that were left behind the tires again performed well. I already have about 8,000 miles on them and they are wearing just fine so far. I would definitely purchase these again.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

Tires only lasted 30K miles

Have these tires due to 70K mile warranty. At 20K miles, noticed extreme wear on the front. Realized had not completed rotation. Began rotating tires, but to no avail. Tread worn completely across entire tire on 2 of them. 2 remaining tires also low on tread. Likely 10K left on those. Have bought at least 5 other sets of Michelin’s (LTX MS & LTX MS2). All lasted at least as long as the warranty. Not these. Tire dealer said nothing can be done for warranty. Pretty disappointing. These tires are not cheap.

Best tire for the money

This is the best tire for the price. You can buy a cheaper tire, but you would have to buy two sets of the cheaper tires to get the same mileage as one set of these michelins. Smooth, quiet ride just adds to the value of these tires. I won't own anything else.

I HAVE USED MICHELIN ...

I HAVE USED MICHELIN TIRES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER-DUTY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 1991. I HAVE AVERAGED OVER 73,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES AND HAVE GOT OVER 80,000 MILES ON THE LAST SET USING REGULAR TIRE ROTATION (UNSING THE SPARE) ON THE LAST SET. I STILL MAY GET ANOTHER 5,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT. MOST OF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN HIGHWAY BUT I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE AVERAGED AROUND 19 MPG ON THIS LARGE TRUCK WHICH I ATTRIBUTE A GOOD DEAL TO THE TIRE QUALITY. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE MICHELIN TIRES AS I BELIEVE THEY PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE FOR MY TIRE DOLLAR.

These tires do it all on my SUV. The wear is great! They're great on and off road. I don't drive in deep mud but I drive a lot of fire roads in the mountains that have some muddy and snowy areas and the tires do great. They're also tough tires and hadle the rocky mountain roads with no problems.

Safe,Trustworthy Company and Product

Along with a great history dating back many years, Michelin is still making a safe and reliable product that can be trusted on any vehicle. When I purchased the vechile, it had Michelin tires already on it. When it time for replacement tires, I wanted the same reliable tires that gave me 60,000 miles even though the rating on the original tires where 40,000,so a got 20,000 miles more out of the tire and I could of still kept going on them. Living in Michigan, the roads and weather where some of the most extreme so I experienced driving on them through all four seasons without one problem. Keep up the good work Michelin.

Had these tires on 2 SUVs ...

Had these tires on 2 SUVs (Suburban and Explorer) with similar results. Both vehicles handled like dreams even in snowy central New York winters. What topped it off was incredible mileage. I rotate tires regularly and check air pressure frequently but I wasn't expecting 60K+ miles from these 2 vehicles. OEM and other branded tires lasted 30-35K before requiring replacement. Overall, I would recommend to everybody!
