Expensive but good for the value

I've had the Michelin Defender tires (Defender T+H for my sedan; LTX M/S for my SUV) on two different vehicles, and both sets impressed me right out of the gate. The first thing you notice is how quiet they are - road noise dropped immediately compared to my old set. Ride comfort also improved, especially on long highway drives. The grip is excellent in dry and wet conditions. Even during heavy rain, I felt in control, with minimal hydroplaning. Handling feels solid and predictable, especially on curvy roads. They're not cheap - but with the long life and consistent performance, they're more of an investment than a splurge. That said, if you don't plan to keep your vehicle long, cheaper tires might make more sense. The installation process was easy, it was just dropped off to the mechanic.

Disappointed

I recently bought a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace a set of Michelin Latitude tires that came on my Grand Cherokee. The ride is much rougher with the Defender tires than the Latitude tires. The road noise is also higher with the Defender tires. I am disappointed with the Defender tires.

WELL WORTH IT

I did a lot of research on my tires. I wanted quiet but aggressive tires for all road conditions. Discussion with the tire supplier was a choice situation. I have ridden on Michelin tires since the 1970's. Michelin has simply improved all along. I have done all types of driving in the NWT, Yukon and outback BC. Paved, gravel, off road and a side wall rock puncture - replaced The thing that made the choice final was the fact that my truck driver neighbour showed my his Michelins on his truck. He said his Defenders have served him well. I also have 6 Michelin LTX tires on our motor home RV. Great product with a great guarantee.

X Radial LT2

I purchased my LT2s in February 2010. I now 62,000 miles on them. It won't be long before I'll be ready for new tires. I've had such a good experience with the LT2s that intend to buy Defender LTX M/S to replace them. I put Michelin tires on another car I owned and have recommended Michelin to others and all have been very satisfied with their purchase.

***UPDATE*** Ulra Disappointed

I had previously mentioned how rough and loud these set of tires are. After going back to the tire store, the mechanic suggested I get my U-joint fixed. The took care of the rough ride and the road noise. These are now the Michelin tires that I have come to expect. I appreciate Michelin customer service responding to me very quickly.

not very happy with the defender

I have purchase nothing but Michelin's for my 2001 mdx and 2005 tacoma. Always used the "lattitude tour" version and loved them. Probably went through a total of 5 or 6 sets. Now discontinued I went with the defender LTX on my tacoma. They are very noisy. I have to turn up my radeo at 35 MPH. yes, they handle great, but I can't stand the noise. Now my mom needs a set of tires for her 2013 avalanche and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
