Poor tread wear. Only 4/32nds left at 39k miles.

This is the 3rd set of Michelin tires I have purchased. I have been sold on them for years. I purchased these in Feb 2017 for my wife's 2002 Ford Ranger Tremor. This is the second set that's been on her truck. My truck also has a set on it. The last set lasted 60k miles when I replaced them. I researched your site for the "New" Defender LTX M/S replacement tires with 70k mile tread wear warranty that supposedly lasts longer than the old LTX M/S 2 tires I replaced. I was "SOLD". Sadly the new tires have 39k miles on them and only have 4/32nds tread left on all 4 tires. I had the front end rebuilt with new control arms, drove it to tire store with old tires, bought new tires and had the alignment done. I rotate the tires myself every other oil change, done at 3k miles for a 6k mile total on tires. I keep the tire pressure checked year round and have had the alignment checked twice since buying them. They are all wearing even across the tire with no cupping or uneven wear showing. I am disappointed that I now need new tires again with just over half the miles warranted. I will contact your company to see how good the warranty is as I have been a loyal customer. Thank you. P.S. We love the ride quality and no road noise of these tires too. Just don't last. Sad!

I'm Impressed

Had a set of these put on my 4WD Honda Element in September. I liked immediately. The ride is good, they're pretty quiet, but since winter hit, I realized these are the best tires I've ever had. The grip in deep snow is excellent, they stop well in snow/ice/slush and I have to be sure not to get overconfident. Wear in the first 3,000 miles has been negligible. I'm really happy with these tires. They even look like they mean business.

Bad tire

I purchased 4 of 245/60/18 TX Radial X , M+S 105H on 10. 31, 2021 for Toyota Highlander. The date today is 10/17/2023. I have driven 20548 miles since my purchase and now it just got Blow out one of my front right side while driving on the Highway I almost lost the control of the car. I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin tires. Needless to say, I could loss my live. And now I still have 3 more tires I do not feel safe to have.

Should have known to always buy Michelin....

I have Michelins on 2 of 3 of my trucks. I decided to 'save a few bucks' and went with Bridgestones. I was not happy with the performance since day one. They lasted about 40k miles and were horrible. Two of them leaked and had to be pumped up weekly. I'm back on to Michelins and I won't stray again!

132.000 unfailing miles

I replaced the almost worn out tires on the used vehicle I purchased thirteen years ago with a set of Michelin LTX M/S. They have performed flawlessly in all kinds of weather in city, highway and trailer towing conditions. The vehicle just turned over 200,000 miles, which would be over 132,000 miles on these tires, and they still have a little tread left. I'm donating the car, but will make sure my next set of tires are Michelins.

Because so much is riding on your tires!

My Dad was an avid advocate of Michelin tires all my years growing up. They were the only tires he would buy. I myself however thought tires were tires, as long as they were round and held air who cares. When I was in my early twentys I started my own contracting business and spent a lot of time on construction sites. Needless to say I also spent a lot of time changing flats, due to nails and other construction debris, and a lot of time purchasing tires every year or so. Flash forward fifteen years or so and picture yourself in the high speed lane of a four lane highway during rush hour running around 70 mph. Suddenly and without any indication of a problem my left rear tire blew. Somehow I managed to get over through two lanes of traffic just as the lanes split, two lanes each way and into the center area of the split where I came to a stop. As I sat there trying to gather myself, my now deceased fathers words echoed in my head. Because so much is riding on your tires! It's the perfect slogan, mostly because it's true, but obviously I never got the picture like I'm sure a lot of others haven't. Since that day, now twenty years ago, I'm an avid Michelin fan. In the past twenty years since I've been driving on Michelins I've had three seperate instances were I'm quite convinced that if I had any other tires I possibly woundn't be here to write this review. I preach to all my family and friends that besides the safety factor I haven't had a flat tire in twenty years, and I only have to mess with buying tires every five or six years. You guys make an amazing product and as a consumer it's nice to be able to purchase what I consider to be a life safety product and do it with complete confidence. Please never compromise your quality for your bottom line as I have seen happen with other so called top of the line products.

Great 3 season tires!

I bought these tires more than a year ago. I call them 3 season tires as we have 6 months of snow tire necessity in the north. I always buy the best I can afford and Michelin is a very good price for the quality. My wife and I both feel safe on wet or dry pavement and I have found that the road noise in our SUV has decreased dramatically since changing to Michelin. I have always leaned toward Michelin for the reasons above and lastly, if we get caught in an early snowstorm or ice storm I will always feel safe. We have the Defender LTX M/S

Love these tires!!

I have had such great luck with all of the Michelin tires I have ever bought. These tires hold up very well to all types of road conditions. I feel confident in driving any of our vehicles when I put Michelin tires on them in all types of weather conditions. The light truck tires I most recently bought have done very well on less than great road conditions. I am a customer of Michelin tires for life!!!!

Great tire would buy again!

I have the mtx m/s and use them on my GMC 4/4. These tires will exceed treadlife specified. Mine have 60,000 on them and still some left butt will probably buy new ones before winter. Very good on wet roads without hydroplaning. They plow through snow and have never gotten hung up or skidded even during the ice storm. The only negative thought I have is they are a little above average in road noise butt not a problem. I just bought a set of defender series tires for my sons Accord. He likes his tires more than his girlfriend! He is hooked on Michelin tires just like me. I will never again buy any tire other than Michelin. Worth every penny!

Performance and Safety

I expect high performance out of my Michelin Tires, and that is what they deliver. In tight curves they hold the road, in rainey conditions they hold the road, when breaking they hold the road, I would only trust Michelin with my family on board. They deliver year after year, and seem to hardly ever wear out. Each new set of Michelin's that I buy, seems to last longer than the last ones. In any of my vehicles, Michelin is the only brand that I would trust.
