Michelin = Reliability+Comfort+Control

As my post states, Michelin tires are the standard when it comes to reliability, control and comfort. They have always been a great passenger tire because they offer a superior ride, allow you to maintain control in the harshest of weather and rarely fail (no one's perfect). They've been under my minivan since the day it was purchased (8 years ago) and sure, they cost a little more but I wouldn't risk my family's safety on anything less.

I didn't get that much mileage from them...

I bought defender tires for my wife's car, and she drives like a grandma, which she is, and at 40,000 miles, they are almost gone., except for the one I had to replace, because of a flat that couldn't be repaired. I don't even want to talk about Michelin motorcycle tires with cracking sidewalls that lasted 3 years only...

Slow Grandma, we're sorry to read of your disappointing experiences. I don't see a case under your email to indicate we spoke to you regarding these issues. We hope that you will give Michelin another chance in the future.

A world of difference

First accumulating snow in Michigan 2013. From the trip in, to the trip home with new tires; these new LTX m/s made a world of a difference. The sure grip was very noticeable. No where near the slip and slide at stopping or acceleration. Good choice of tires on my Explorer.

Very good wet and dry ...

Very good wet and dry traction. Great braking and roadholding and handling until the tread is literally gone. Good tread life, but not what I might have expected for the price and considering the vehicle is a midsize SUV that is driven mostly by my wife. The vehicle tended to wander more at low to medium speeds with these tires than with the previous (OEM) set, but that wasn't noticeable at highway speeds. They are very quiet and smooth for a light truck tire with an M/S rating and a rather agressive tread profile.

Going to give them another chance

The tires are quiet and give a good ride. However, after 4.5 yrs and 38K miles, two of them are dry rotting and the tread is almost gone off of the other two. I sliced one open around some road construction so I am going to buy another set and see if this was just a fluke. I have had success with past Michelin tires, my last set lasted 80k miles.

BEST TIRES EVER.

I have had Michelin tires on my last 3 vehicles. I usually change tires at 70,000 miles but Michelin tread looks like it could go 100,000 or more. The last set I had put on had to be patched on 2 of the tires due to road debris causing a flat. never knew they had ever been patched, still had 40,000 miles put on them and then I sold the vehicle. I highly recommend Michelin tires since they never seem to lose their edge.

They keep going, going and going!!

My Michelins have been on my old pick up truck since 1999 and they are still going strong...however, it is about time to replace them. My truck is used sparingly and certainly not every day. I've never had a flat or any trouble at all with them. They just keep going, going and going. They look great and perform great. What else can you ask for. My tires actually are worth more than the value of my truck. But I wouldn't part with my truck or my Michelins. We have a good thing going!!

At presentI have a 4 ...

At presentI have a 4 wheel drive Avalanche and 2 wheel drive Avalanche. For the past 12 years I have not run anything but Michelen tires on my vehicle. I am on long road trips in my job and I love the quite smooth ride I get from my Michelen tires. when I go in the rough with the 4 wheel drive I have no problem with traction in mud or snow . I live in the Ozark mountains and all of the back roads I travel or flint rock gravel and I have never had a sliver punture my Michelen tires.

New tires, let's roll..

Just replaced Yokohama tires with 64,000 on tires, dealers mentioned that they no longer carry them so he suggested the Michelins Defender LTX MS for my suburban. Now let's see how they perform on the highway, pulling cars to shows in this desert climate. Looks nice brings back that OEM look to the unit. Now had a fair experience with prior warranty on tread life, let's see how this round goes..

These tires have gone ...

These tires have gone 72,000 miles and I am currently debating buying new ones even though my mechanic says I am nuts and will probably get at least another 20,000 out of them.I have nothing but tremendous praise for the Michelin engineers . I have been buying Michelin tires exclusively for over 28 years and have to say as a former tire salesman , NOTHING BEATS A MICHELIN !!!!!!!
