After 20 years of buying Michelins, 1st time disappointed, very disappointed. With 20K of miles over 2 years, you won't want to drive these in wet or snow. Normal inflation checks & rotation was done. It was just amazing to me the dramatic decline in performance after 20,000 miles. Didn't notice any above average road noise & the Honda Element is a gas hog for a 4cylinder engine & 5-speed, so didn't notice gas mileage improvements or decline.

Bought my Honda Ridgeling new with this tire on it in 2006. Bought my first set of replacements last week after putting 100,000 miles on the original set! Incredible as that may sound they could have kept going!!! South Texas can be really hard on tires but these stood up like a champ. I'm not the type of person that would write a review on a product (first time) but this was just amazing and i have to send a thanks to Michelin. You made a believer out of me.

This is my second set of tires on my 2000 Silverado 1500. Truk has 185K miles. Driving around the city or on the highway very comfortable. reat traction and gas mileage has been outstanding. 20 mpg on the highway! Would definitely buy these again. Great in the rain and wet locations and in the snow with 4x4. I get very good mileage fro these tires easy 70K miles. Have not done too much off road with these so I can't comment.

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).

Last Christmas we drove from Dallas to Abilene in a blinding blizzard. It tool us 13 hours versus a normal 3 hours. We encountered blowing, drifting snow and extreme icy conditions. The ruts on the interstate were 4 to 6 inches and on stretches the ice was more than a little slick. We had NO problems with traction and made it through places that even big rigs with chains were having problems. The combination of these tires and our Honda Ridgeline are remarkable and I would definatley buy them again. Thanks Michelin Man.

I bought 4 tires on 12/11/18 for my Toyota Tacoma. These replaced a set of LTX MS 2 tires that had about 72k miles on them. I have a lot of history with Michelin tires between our two vehicles and I always had great success with them. But this set has really disappointed me so far. I had the tires mounted and balanced and on the way home I experienced a noticeable shudder. I took the truck right back to the dealership and they balanced all 4 tires again but to no avail. Another set of 4 tires were ordered and installed and I still had the problem. The dealer ended up measuring the runout (roundness) of every tire and found two tires from the first set and one from the second set that did not roll true. So, from the eight tires, he found 4 that rolled true and put them on the truck. That took care of the problem. How fortunate I was to have a dealer who was patient and truly interested in giving me a good product. I had to go back to the dealer 4 times to get it right and the dealer had to eat the labor cost for the last 3 trips. I sure hope this is not a sign of how well these tires will perform over the long haul. Really disappointed in Michelin quality control on this one.

When I travel at speeds in excess of seventy miles per hour on interstates or travel back country roads. I need to know that the company, I put my life and familys hands in for safety and reliability, can be trusted with quality products. For this reason I have chosen Michelin to put my trust in.

I replaced to Defender LTX M/S from original Premier LTX which was recommended as 'same' by tire specialist for my Pacifica Limited AWD. Wrong! It is noisy and bouncy at all speed. Also lost 0.3 mpg. No big deal on mpg loss. This tire may be better fit for pickups and off roads.

I bought these tires in 2005 and still have them on my vehicle. They have been very good. They do great in the snow, rain, and mud. They have been used on a vehicle that takes me to work everyday. I will be purchasing new tires again in the near future and plan on buying the same tires again.

A few months back I slapped on my second set of Michelin tires AFTER I finished getting 100k miles from my last set of LTX M/S! I truly believe regular rotations/balancing and proper inflation make all the difference in the world. Yes, these tires have a premium up-front, but you definitely get what you pay for in this case. That's why I have a new set of Michelins on my 4Runner now and we just put a new set on my wife's new MDX this past summer. I really have no desire to buy another brand - my experience with those tires was that good!
