In the last two weeks I have had two sets (265/65/17) installed and now they are coming of my 4Runner and being replaced with another brand. I have always heard that Michelin was a top tire, but my experience has been terrible. Two out of four from the last set were out of round and it didn't matter what method of balancing was used (we tried road force and traditional) and it didn't matter. The first set was worse so i expect they had the same problem. Very unhappy with the amount of time and trips to tire shop dealing with bad manufacturing / quality control. Will never purchase again.

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.

Just installed my 3rd Set (counting the OEM that came with the truck). of LTX/MS on my 06 Ridgeline I have 85k on the vehicle. Avg. about 40k per set. I use them year round and live in VT. These tires have done the job for me. They are wearing well, quiet and provide good traction in all the conditions I use them for. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I consider this tire a good investment.

Can't complain one bit. My 2009 Ridgeline came with the LTX/MS tires and I'm just creasing 55,000 miles. They show little wear. Rotation and pressure are key to long life as well as sane driving habits. They have a smooth ride and great handling under load. I have Michellins installed on all my cars and wouldn't put any other tire brand on them. Good job Michellin!

I got these in 2018, they've been through 6 seasons now. I'll never buy another tire; these are amazing. We have seriously hot summers and seriously cold winters here in the Badlands; temperatures go from +110 to -40. The Defenders haven't even blinked. Snow, ice, off-road, deep mud, highway; they're a great ride with great traction. They're not the quietest tire; then again, if you want a serious all-season tire and tread, noise is something you learn to live with. Quiet tires can't grip for anything. I'm sorry so many others have had issues; these tires have never let me down. I'm hoping they'll still be this good when I need another set.

Recommend by a coworker who has them. I'm very happy with my purchase, smooth ride, excellent grip and they supposedly last many miles. Just drove them on our first Wisconsin slippery winter conditions for the season and my new Michelin Defenders handled it great.

I bought this set of Defender LTX M/S tires last week for my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited. As soon as I started driving the truck with the new tires I couldn’t help but notice how much smoother and quieter my ride was. Now this truck already rides like a fine luxury car but the difference these tires make is very noticeable to me. In addition to the comfort improvement you won’t find a better tire for wet traction any where. I have owned 5 sets of these tires between my wife’s 4Runners and my trucks and truly believe these are the safest and best tires you can buy especially for highway use. They last a long time too. They are not the cheapest but are the best and in the long run the best value for keeping you safe and getting long service from the tires.

I replaced these same tires on my 2012 Toyota Highlander; this time, they are so loud that you cannot hear the radio. What is the difference from when I bought these tires 3 1/2 years ago? I figured it was just me but now my wife and son-in-law have driven the car and everyone has the same complaint It was too loud. You notice it at about 35 MPH and up. I have these same tires on my 2015 Tacoma Truck and don't have this noise at all. Is there a chance these are mounted wrong?

My local service station talked me into another major brand of tire to replace my worn LTX Michelins. I developed a wobble in the front end of my Chevy Tahoe that I never had before. They balanced the tires, rotated them, did an alignment, shocks, etc. and could not cure the problem. Finally they replaced the tires with a new set of the same brand and I still had the wobble. I finally took my truck to a Chevy dealer and they told me the tires were out of round. I replaced the tires with new Michelin LTX M/Ss and never had the problem again. That was 70,000 mile ago and they're still in great shape. I'll always use Michelin. Great tires!

These tires were original equipment for my 2009 Honda. My current ones have 90k miles and are finally being replaced. Super traction in the snow, I never had a problem, and I live in NE. That is 5 hard winters of driving and I can count on one hand the number of times my vehicle traction control actually came on. Remarkable. Another storm coming, time for some new sneakers for the truck.
