Very noisy

Always had luck with Michelin tires until I purchased 4 defender tires for my ram pickup. The loud whine is unbearable on blacktop roads. A little quieter on concrete but still loud. Unfortunately I waited longer than 30 days to return them.. seriously considering buying new tires even though only 2500 miles on these

Safety is #1

Safety is #1 I like the way I feel safer driving in all road conditions with my Michelin Defender tires on my vehicle. Also, the ride is much smoother on any of those road condition I drive on. I think they will last a long time. My last Michelin tires lasted 13 years!!

Disappointed

I have been a Michelin fan for 30 years. Every vehicle I have runs on Michelin rubber. I bought a set of Defender LTX M/S for my 2019 Ridgeline and could not be more disappointed. The road noise from these tires was terrible. They whined like a monster truck. I ended up replacing them with a different set of tires from another company. Another customer at the same tire store had a similar experience with the same tire. I’m hoping this is just a one off bad batch of tires and not a loss of historically great quality.

Bought a used Nissan 4X4 ...

Bought a used Nissan 4X4 pickup, the tires were worn but I thought I could get a few more miles on them. Then I picked up a nail in the sidewall on one, and went looking for a replacement. Being a Saturday, some tire dealers were closed, go figure, so I stopped at place I don't normally shop. They had a set of 4 Michelin LTX M/S tires, just the right size and offered a good price, so I said why not? They improved the looks of the truck right away, and as I pulled away from the shop, I could not believe how mush better they made the truck ride. Later, we had some of the worst snow we've had for some time. In 4 wheel drive, those tires were unstoppable, they just kept on digging. Will I buy more Michelins, you better believe it!

We were on a cross ...

We were on a cross country trip. The passenger car tires were not holding up to pulling a trailer. With a sense of urgency we purchased new tires. Had never purchased Michelins before as I thought they were over rated and over priced. The tires were the only thing in stock in my size so the purchase was made. Putting the LT tires on the van greatly reduced the side to side sway and increased overall stability and safety. Even with the trailer unhitched there was a marked improvement in handling. The van now has a bit harsher ride due to the LT tires. It is worth the truck like feel for better stability. Being light in the rear I had always had problems in rain and snow. Now my wife is not afraid to drive the van on wet roads and light snow. Rotating on a regular basis I was able to get 80,000 miles out of these tires. And yes they were replaced with the same tire.

After 63,000 miles, I'm ready buy again.

We are a retired couple. Traveling with our GMC 3500 Truck Camper with a gross weight of 12,400 lbs. Have traveled 63,000 miles on our existing LTX M/S 225 85 16 E feeling safe and trouble free. Going to purchase 6 more by November. When we Leave for Florida. Best tire we have ever purchased for the cost. If we where to change anything it would be the same tire with a higher capacity such as 235/75/16 if it would fit our rims. Please advise

Good looking tire not quality

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don’t hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

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!

Fantastic Tire

We live in Colorado so a good snow tire is essential. My wife drives a 2007 Honda Pilot FWD. The Michelin LTX tires are so good in the snow, I don't feel the need to switch to a 4WD for our next vehicle. They plow through the snow easily with confidence. We received 14 inches of snow one day here in the Front Range and we had to travel to Loveland for a school outing. I was a bit nervous on how the car would handle with that much snow. I was amazed at how the tires and car handled with that much snow on the road. Not even 4WD would have made a difference. I highly recommend the LTX tires as we've gone above our expected tread life by 15,000 miles and the traction in wet/snowy weather is four stars.

Great Tire!

Tires wear excellent. Side walls look brand new. 68k and still tread life. Better to spend the dollars on a superior tire than save a dollar on less expensive tire that does not even compare. Ridgeline ride is great. Handles very smooth. Braking is good. Looking at moving up to Latitude for our next set of Michelin Tires. Have Michelin tires on our Honda Civic and if I can find tires we will put them on our Goldwing. Michelin makes great tires that last.
