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.

I bought my latest set of these Michelin tires about six months ago and they are as I expected them to be, quiet, smooth riding and showing very little tread wear. They have trouble free as well, but this is not a surprise to me, as I have had several sets of Michelins over the years. They are my go to brand of tires for sure. Trouble free and outstanding wear performance. Highly recommended if you are looking for the same. I will buy again without any hesitation for sure.

I bought these tires (LT265/75R16) several years ago for my Nissan Frontier after the factory originals wore out after about 40K miles. I currently have almost 100K miles on these and they are just now telling me that I need to think about replacing them. I am planning on keeping my truck (only 140K miles on it) so I am looking for the same model tire.

My first several hundred miles remind me why I like Michelin tires. Smooth, responsive, quiet, sure footing. I drive mostly highway miles but have a mix of primary and secondary roads and the Defenders are a very nice match for both types of surfaces.

Long time Michelin fan. 2 months ago we had Defenders installed on our 2017 Ram 1500 and compared to the worn OEM tires, these are very quiet. One concern (or complaint) is that on gravel roads, they pick up and throw rocks… a lot more than any tire I've ever owned. I may have to swap these if I determine the rocks are causing damages.

I recently purchaced a 2017 Chevy Colorado. The tires that came on it were possibly ok can't really evaluate them as I replace them with the Michelins promptly after purchasing the truck. The reason I replaced the original tires was due to previously having LTX tires on my previous truck that lasted 11years with no problems, a smooth and quiet ride and excellent performance. I am very happy with your products and will continue to purchase them. Bill Kashmark

Bought new Michelin 18” Defender LTX M/S2 tires for a Ford F250 to replace Michelins that had come with the truck. My old tires were smooth as silk and I actually got more miles from them than the warranty. However, the new tires vibrated badly, so I had them rebalanced twice, with no improvement. Michelin replaced the tires under warranty, but the new tires also vibrate badly. I took them to another shop that had a road force balancer and paid out of my own pocket to have them rebalanced again. There was some improvement, but there's still a significant amount of vibration. I'm very disappointed in these tires.

I purchased these tires for my Tahoe in 2016 because they came highly recommended. I've really liked their performance over these years with the gentle driving I do, mostly city -short distance to work, errands, and one trip to Colorado. However, I've only driven 38,000 miles thus far and am being told I need to replace due to tread wear. I understand the recommended replacement time period, but it seems the tread should have lasted longer than this. Am I missing something?

I have this tire on a 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE Tire is very comfortable and quiet. I like the wet and dry performance of this tire even when pushed hard. It can easily handle the 306hp the highlander has to offer during hard acceleration, braking and turning.

I have had many sets of Michelin tires. (Probably close to 8.) Only 2 bad tires they replaced without issue. I have these tires on my wife's Sequoia and my mother's 4 runner. Excellent tires on them. I bought these for my 2020 F250. These are HORRIBLE at throwing rocks! The grooves in the center of the tire (there's 5 of them if I recall) love to grab rocks from gravel driveway/roads and kick them up on my truck. These would hold rocks even at high speed and eject them when doing 80 mph on freeway. I have no idea why those grooves need to be so wide on a highway tire??
