Being in the car business for nearly thirty years there is no tire for a light truck like a Michelin. I would have customers request Michelin tires on their new trucks. Ride, wear, and style are just a few reasons for purchasing. Once you own a set of Michelin's you'll never settle for less

I bought a brand new 99 Silverado LT.I got only 21000 miles out of those tires99(not Michelin)lol b/4 they started wearing a lil thin,so I went ahead and bought 4 new Michelins on it in 2 yrs later(01).I still to this day have those same tires on my truck,almost10 yrs later,and still have tread left,and still ride smooth!...,,,Seriously ;) You might pay more for Michelin,but hands down you get your moneys worth!It is NOT only the name Michelin that makes people but your tires,it is performance and satisfaction,hands down the best and safest tire money can buy!Thx.....;)

The prior generation of these tires were awesome. Absolutely loved them. Quiet, durable, and long lasting. Bought these thinking that I would get the same service and quality. But I have to say that I can't stand them because they absolutely ROAR going down the highway. They are the loudest set of tires I have ever owned. I have owned off-road tires that don't make as much noise as these. If the amount of noise these tires make rolling down the highway matters to you, DO NOT BUY THESE TIRES! I wish I could get my money back...

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

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.

A year ago, my 2008 F150 needed new tires. The original tires were 255/65-17 but Michelin had none in inventory and none scheduled to be produced so I had bought the 265/65-17. The tires have great road handling grip as was illustrated a short time after the purchase. During a rainstorm on an isolated two lane black-top, they helped me avoid a head-on collision when a car crossed into my lane and just kept coming despite my flashing headlights and blasting of the horn. I had two of my 14 year olds with me and since there were no other cars on the road, we quickly swerved to the left as the "distracted driver" flew past us in our lane at 70+ mph. I immediately thanked the Lord for the new Michelins and our safety. Today, after 16,000 miles the tread-wear has worn from 13/32" to 10/32" so I expect to get around 60,000 miles and about 3 more years from this set.

The moment I pulled out of the parking lot after getting them, it felt as though I had just bought my vehicle new again. Very quiet, and looks like it will be great in snowy conditions. I am sold on Michelin tires. Have owned them for years. Sad to say, this is my first review. I know it will not be my last. Thank You Michelin.

i bought 2 245/65 17 Defender M/S tires to replace the ones i had on my pickup. I had at least 70,000 miles on the old ones. With the new Defenders my ride has been excellent and I expect the wear will be the same as the old ones. Alignment has been completed regularly and rotated ever 5000 miles.

Tires are good for what it does. Good tracing in the snow and they last a long time. A few gripes that I have is the loud road noise that comes from the tires at high speeds. In addition, two of the four tires I bought were not good since even after multiple balancing and even having my rims checked for deformities, the tires would wobble when the car was in motion. Brought it up with the place where I bought it from and they said it was all right, but my mechanic said that should not be the case and that the tires should be like the other non-problematic one.

OK, I had michelins on my honda accord years ago and remembered how good they were and how long they lasted (had 110K miles on them when I sold it). So when my 2003 Escape needed replacements for the tires that came on it at 60K miles, I went with the Michelins. Now six years and over 170K miles later I am ready for a new set (or maybe a new vehicle, since the odometer is near 240K). I am very pleased with Michelins. They last forever! The guy at the tire store said I could probably get 5-10K more out of them since I actually still have good tread but am seeing some dry rot - they are getting old. Great tires Michelin!
