Nice Tire Terrible Rock Thrower on F250

I have had many sets of Michelin tires. (Probably close to 8.) Only 2 bad tires they replaced without issue. I have these tires on my wife's Sequoia and my mother's 4 runner. Excellent tires on them. I bought these for my 2020 F250. These are HORRIBLE at throwing rocks! The grooves in the center of the tire (there's 5 of them if I recall) love to grab rocks from gravel driveway/roads and kick them up on my truck. These would hold rocks even at high speed and eject them when doing 80 mph on freeway. I have no idea why those grooves need to be so wide on a highway tire??

New Defender LTX M/S tires

The first thing that I noticed was that they were quiet. Number two, I didn't downshift into third gear climbing the bridge on my way to the gym. I stayed in overdrive and the truck pulled the hill very well. With the old tires I had to downshift to get over the bridge. Thirdly, the traction difference is very noticeable and lastly my handling has improved. I should see an improvement in my gas usage per mile. Excellent choice for me. This my second set as I put a set on my other truck. Highly recommend these tires.

Rumbles at higher speed

These tires have a definite rumble at speeds over 70 mph, I have had the tires rebalanced 2Xs and frontend alignment, and new brakes, still a problem, when I put my 3 year old snow tires back on, the rumble is gone and much smoother ride than the Michelin brand

Tires - not so great!

I purchased tires in Novmber 2021. Immediately took a trip. The truck now rides very rough with lots of vibration. Went back to place of purchase. They rebalanced. Did not help issue. Went back second time. They rebalanced again. Because I was so unhappy with tires, they replaced two of them. I still have the rough ride and vibration. I personnel think the back are bad tires. Would not purchase this tire again.

great product

The best tires money can buy, I replaced factory tires Bridgestone with only 3,000 miles on them because I had two flats and then after a rotation developed a vibration I could not get rid of, put the Michelins on an no problem and all the other problems went away, plus I know with winter coming and wet weather the Michelins will be much safer on the road. I have them on all three of my vehicles.

Wear out too fast twice

This tire has worn out at 33,000 miles for the 2nd time. I'm tired of getting a 2nd set at a reduced price. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles so it is not my fault. Disappointed in a company I thought made a decent tires. Thinking about looking elsewhere!

Best Tires EVER Owned

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

BEST TIRES EVER ! IMPROVED MY RIDE 75 %

Just bought these Defenders . My 2011 Ford f150 never rode so smooth ! Excellent in the rain and man talk about an improved ride. It's literally like a different truck. They are without a doubt the best tires I ever owned ! The best money I ever spent ! I never do reviews but went out of my way to do complete this one. You truly only get what you pay for. I am 67 years young and these are the BEST !!!!

3 sets of Michelins all exceeded Warranty Milage

Dear Sir or Madam: Back in 2004 I purchased my Nissan pathfinder Armada LE a 6500 lb SUV. After Trying other Brands I and being gravely disappointed on how poorly the tires lasted, I purchased my first set, my second set and now my 4th set of Michelin Tires. The Armada now has 240,000 miles on it. A lot of miles in the rearview mirror, but my Michelin lasted well past the Warranty stated at purchased. And yes I used Nirogen, and did the rotations and alignments and balancing etc. And Hocus Pocus they lasted, well past the warranty milage...So the "Beast" just keeps rolling. best Regards, Gray Ghost, Raleigh NC

Should I be happy with the mileage (over 90K miles)?

I bought these tires (LT265/75R16) several years ago for my Nissan Frontier after the factory originals wore out after about 40K miles. I currently have almost 100K miles on these and they are just now telling me that I need to think about replacing them. I am planning on keeping my truck (only 140K miles on it) so I am looking for the same model tire.
