I have driven on a lot of tires and none compare to these on my truck. Rated at 70,000 miles and I got more than that out of first set and am working on 50,000 on the second and last check only half worn. They not only wear well they give me a smooth quiet ride on the highway. I didn't buy my Honda Ridgeline for off reading so these are perfect for my needs. Thanks Michelin for building such a great tire. I will definitely be using these again on my truck!

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

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 put these tires on my diesel pickup. I pull a 40 ft fifth wheel trailer. They really are nice on the hwy. They rid a lot better that the original Michelin tires from the factory when new. When driving on roads that have been cracked filled across the width of the lanes with tar, they take most of the bumps out .and gives a nice smooth ride. I have not found anything with these tires that I do not like. They are good. So far so good but then I have always liked Michelin Tires.

Bought these tires about 3 years ago. I have put on 30,000 miles and more. These tires look brand new yet and have lots of tread left. They seem to last alot longer then other tires and I would recomend these over all others. I will buy these again if they every wear out.

Michelin is my go-to brand for all things automotive. The LTX M/S tires I am currently using have met or exceeded all of my expectations for my Element. They provide good traction, a comfortable ride and seem to be wearing very well. I did not rate wear life in the review below, because I haven't yet put a lot of miles on these tires. As yet, I have not experienced any negatives regarding these tires. As such, I expect to remain a faithful Michelin consumer for years to come.

I bought these tires for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These are by far the best tires I have ever owned. They are a 5 star in every category. They ride like a dream and are super smooth and quiet. The traction in the rain is phenomenal. Absolutely no hydroplaning. They grip the road and don't budge no matter how wet the road is. I am more than anxious for the snow so I can see how they handle in snow. I average 75 - 80 mph and they just glide. No bumpy ride and definitely not noisy. I love these tires! Worth every penny!

I purchased 4 Michelin Defender Tires from a local tire dealer on 6/7/17. I drove the vehicle for a few days and noticed a vibration in the steering wheel at 60 mph and higher. I originally thought there was an issue with my vehicle but I was able to have my truck looked at by my local dealership and discovered that the problem wasn't with my vehicle but with the tires themselves. My dealership explained that I had 3 tires which were out of spec during the road force balance. I'm currently awaiting my tires to be replaced but the distributor I purchased them from is dragging their feet on the process. How can 3 out of 4 tires be bad?

My Michelin's are a great performer. They hug the highway and take curves at high speed with ease. I can trek through snow and rain with confidence as tires give me traction to pull through an intersection or the bite to stop on a dime. I love, love, love my Michelin's.

I purchased my first set of Defenders about 3 years ago. 245-75-17s (with "E" duty rating). Long story short, I got 90,000 miles on my first set of Defenders. I towed as much as 6,000 pounds on these tires, and loaded upwards of 3,200 in the bed of the truck on these tires. I was impressed, and continued to remain impressed. I could have reached 100,000 on this first set of Defenders but I do have my limits. I recently upgraded to larger tires for my truck. 285-70-17s. I stayed with the Defenders. So far, so good.
