I have 30k on these tires and they wore abnormally down the middle, despite keeping proper air pressure and rotating them. The original LTX M/S2 tires were the best tire I ever owned and what made me a Michelin customer. These new Defenders may look like the old design, but are clearly inferior.

I drive a Nissan Titan and I have been waiting for years waiting Michelin to develop an LTX series of tires that fix my truck. Thank you for making the LTX series of tires in the P265/70 R18 size. I had a set installed on my truck today and I am experiencing an improved ride, better handling, and stronger braking.

These are the best tires I have ever purchased. Ride is seamless, traction in wet or snow is excellent even when worn. Current set has over 75000 miles and are not to the wear bars yet. I will be buying another set soon. Even though tire vendors try to convince me that other cheaper tires are as good I will not be persuaded to switch.

With almost 150,000 miles on my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, I just recently installed my third set of Michelins. Even though we also own a 2012 Ford Explorer, we always drive the older Tahoe on trips because the Explorer came with another brand of tires that assure we hear and feel every crack in the highway. My Michelins are smooth and quiet, and they make my wife and I feel safer when driving in rain. At age 67, I have tried many different brands of tires over the years and have learned the hard way that when it comes to buying tires, it is not only wise to buy the best, but the extra long tread life makes it the best economic decision as well. Love my Michelins!!!

I purchase Michelin tires exclusively. I can't think of a better brand of tires for my vehicles. I purchased these LTX series of tires as a replacement for the cross terrains that you no longer make. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent ride and handling of the LTX tires. I'm looking forward to many years and thousands of miles of enjoyment from these tires. Like other Michelin tires I have owned I do not anticipate a problem. I would highly recommend the LTX series tires to anyone who owns a large SUV

This is my second set of Michelin defenders. I got approx. 65000 miles on first set easily. I liked them so much I replaced them with another. Great in snow or wet conditions. Low road noise. Keep rotating these tires every oil change and you’ll never have any problems with wearing.

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

I had these tires installed to replace the original equipment at 31,254 miles. I now have more than 68,500 miles with excellent tread. When they need replacing, I plan to use Michelin tires. I said N/A relating to off road use, since I probably have less than 800 off road miles.

I only use Michelin tire on my cars and SUV. I know they cost a little more than others. Theirs time when my money would rather for me to buy a cheap brand but I always know that the michelin tires will perfrom and last for the money. Dad always told me it only takes a little more to go first class so spend extra on one`s you love. That`s why I buy Michilen tires for our vehicles.

I bought these tires less than a year ago, I have put about 4,000 miles on them and I really dislike them. There is no smooth ride and they are so noisy it's frustrating. I was told by the tire shop to give them some time since they are new but there has been zero change. I don't even like driving my vehicle anymore because of the tires. I really wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately aside from the warranty I would never recommend these to anyone.
