Top tires

I have kept only Michelin tires on my vehicles. I have a 2002 GMC 2500HD with 155000 miles. I just put my second set of Michelin tires on the truck. The truck is used for day to day driving and travel, towing a 31' fifth wheel. The tires give great control and are long lasting. Well worth the money!

Best light truck general purpose tire available

I have had 5+ sets of these on 2 different suburbans, 1) f150 std cab longbox, 1) Chevrolet dually cab-chassis with dump and snow-plow, and now on my '14 Superduty Kingranch. If my continued patronage of this specific tire doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what..I am in Wisconsin, and snow and ice traction are important. These tires are excellent in snow and ice, without quick wear like a winter tire 80k/set. Ride comfort is outstanding. I replaced the Michelin AT tires with these on the superduty, and they are 10 times better for traction and comfort. If you are wondering if these tires are worth the extra money, they absolutely are!

Excellent Tires

It is not every day that you come across a product that is not only suitably described by the maker. The Defender LTX M/S2 is such a product. I didn't choose them they came stock on my 2018 F-150 and I have to say Ford mede a great choice. Not only are they a quite tire, they are surefooted in the rain and give great response on dry roads. I think when you combine those two with the longevity of the tires you have a winner. I now have 49,750 miles on this original set and they look like they can go another 10,000 miles easily. I just returned from a 5,450 mile vacation trip and I was expecting to possibly have to replace them before coming home. To my surprise the tires look just like they did before I left. I am planning to replace them with the same tire when they do wear out and I am also adding a spare of the same size. Rotations will then cost a bit more for 5 tires but I expect I'll have that set for a lot longer that this one. I'm saving money with these tires that's another reason to choose them.

The best tires I've ever purchased!!!!

I purchased my set of four tires on June 21, 2011 before going on vacation with my family. This is my first set of Michelin tires and I can honestly tell you these are the best tires I've ever had. On our trip to Florida from TX, it rained practilly all the way there. I have a long wheel based pick-up and I never experienced any hydroplaning like I have with my other tires. I now have about 40,00 miles on them, and you can hardly see any wear. My wife's SUV also has a set of four on it. I my opionion, these tires are the cream of the crop in the tire industry.

Quiet. Tough. Grippy. Smoooooooth

Amazing how well these hold up off-road on my job site. Even in the mud they keep going. Nice quiet ride on the way home. Super long tread life. Amazing grip, really unstopped in snow and ice. When they were installed they balanced super easy and ride so smooth. Wide range of sizes for all vehicles!

they have lasted over 80k ...

they have lasted over 80k miles and are still on my chevy truck, i know they need replaced before the snow gets here, but they still are working great. my son just got a set for his s10 pick-up truck. Michelin are on all my cars and will continue to be!! they make the car/trucks ride smooth and with good traction in all wet/snow or dry roads

Michelin Defender LTX MS

I've had these tires on my 2019 Nissan Titan for a couple of years. I don't change them to winter tires in the winter but they work just fine, despite the amount of snow we get. I would prefer if they would have kept the all weather version with the snowflake so I meet all government requirements, even though the all weather wears a little faster.

Solid Tire for F150 (Heavy Duty Payload Package)

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.

After 15 years of ...

After 15 years of "Michelin only", thinking I should be more frugal, I ran through two sets of a competitor's brand, never coming close to Michelin's performance or longevity! Before leaving for our summer vacation '10, I put a full set on our all-wheel drive SUV, and the difference was AMAZING ... driving was a pleasure, like a million little fingers were gripping the road as we drove cross-country through Virginia's scenic highways ... the ride was far more comforatble, and fuel economy actually increased! My earlier Michelin sets had always had good tread up to the milage forecast ... not so with "brands X" ... I'm so glad to be back in safe hands ... clearly, my Michelin tires are still the best investment I can make for my family's transportation.
