My First Michelin's

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.

Below expectations

I have owned multiple sets of Michelin LTX tires on my trucks through out the years and have always had a great service from them.. until now with the LTX Defender tires. I bought these tires to replace a very worn set of OEM BF Goodrich tires that came on my truck. After 3 separate tire shops attempts at balancing the tires I am still left with a very significant amount of vibration at speeds over 50 mph. Very disappointing to say the least!

One of the best sets I've owned

Bought these tires 60k+ miles ago. Been very happy with them. We have used them in snow, ice, rain, dirt and dry desert roads. Family camping trips, cross country road trips and daily drives. They have held up great. I'm on here planning ahead for my next set, so figured I'd leave a review.

Great ride with exceptional quality

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.

Very good tire, but DEEPER TREAD needed for next gen

This has been an excellent tire. The one thing it needs is deeper tread. Michelin, if you are listening, your competitors are offering up to 20/32 inch tread depth and you are at 13.5/32 inch on the LT285/70/17 Defender LTX. If I see another tire with that much more tread depth, there is a good chance I will purchase it. Please, more tread depth to be competitive in the current LT tire market for the next edition of this tire. At least 1/2 inch.

2 year review on michelim defender

I had Michelin Defender tires for 2 years. They were awesome! These tires really stuck to the road, and I felt safe even when it rained. They hardly wore out, so I didn't have to buy new ones. It was like having a reliable friend on the road. I'll definitely get them again. Great tires!

Best driving characteristics; best value

I just returned from a trip in my Ford F150 from Strathroy Canada to Dallas Texas towing a 7000# trailer and I am more than happy with the control I felt from these tires. Each truck I have bought came with different tires, but when the trucks needed new tires, they were always Michelin.

Reliable

I drive a Ford F250 diesel to Mexico and back each year pulling a 10,000 lb trailer so tires are important. I am into my third set of Defenders which realistically last about 75,000 km before tread wear begins to be an issue for long distance travel. Of the 15,000 km per year I drive the truck, half of it is pulling a trailer. I choose these tires not only because Ford recommends them but also because they give me very good fuel economy even pulling a trailer (17 L/km pulling and 8 L/km not pulling).

Smooth Sailing

These are my first Michelins and I'm glad that I decided to make the investment. I live in New England and we received the obligatory late spring snow storm so I had the opportunity to test these tired in slippery conditions and they performed beautifully. I suddenly felt glued to the road regardless of the driving conditions. I also noticed an immediate difference in the quiet comfortable ride I had been missing from my vehicle all along. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra for these tires. They have changed my opinion on how much tires can make a difference in your ride.
