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.

I like the handling of these tires and they certainly were way more durable than the original tires on my Honda CR-V but this 90,000 mile treadwear warranty approaches hoax level. It won't benefit you unless you drive over 15,000 miles per year or more. Even if you rotate your tires BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER every designated period AND have that adequately documented, consider that it might take you longer than the warranty period to drive beyond the tire's ACTUAL lifespan. For me that was about 50,000, but it took me over 6 years to do it, and so out of warranty. Read the fine print - you also have to have PERFECTLY worn tires.

Bought a set of these tires 8 years ago for my truck camper. Great wearing tires drove across Canada, among other trips. This year bought another set, drove up the Dempster highway (gravel and mud all the way) to Tuktoyaktuk and back with no tire problems. Would recommend these good 10 -ply tires.

I sliced the side wall open while driving on hard top on a pice of lumber at low speed. Only 12,000 K on the set. Now wether to replace two or all four as its a 4X4. Disappointing, good fuel economy and ride though. Maybe I would have better luck with AT/2? Its the sort of failure I associate with off road use.

I purchased the tire set for a 2007 tundra, got about 5 years and 23000 miles and there is a decent amount of cracking and tread wear (enough to replace them). Far from the 70000 mile warranty. They were regularly rotated and taken care of, expected more from a higher priced and rated tire.

We drive the 1250 Km back and forth to Florida each year. How many times on the I75 did I say ‘thank you Michelins' when swerving around tire debris, road kill and pot holes, at 80 mph. Thankfully, conditions were good. But they are the best tires I can buy. Again, ‘thank you Michelins'.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.

Bought these about a week ago. They replaced my OEM Michelin cross terrian which are no longer made. These LTX tires are awesome nice quiet ride. Super smooth, ust an amazing difference. Absolutely love them so far. Already have been in rain and snow and handled great. Great Purchase!!!

I am female, and dont know a whole of technical stuff about tires, but I do know I am really happy to have these tires for my Tahoe. they seem to make the drive quieter and when we hit a slick patch of road while driving in very cold temps the tires dug in and we did not skid. made me feel very safe.... a big plus-they look very cool on my Tahoe, and after driving on them for a several weeks the still look brand new.

Have previously bought Michelin tires because they are pretty durable, the traction is decent and they're comfortable The handle isn't as great on my truck so I may need to look at different brands but they do work and get the job done in the summer months. But when the winter comes I have to make sure that I have a year-round tire with really good tread
