I have used Michelin's on ...

I have used Michelin's on my Ford Exucrsion for several years and would never go back to another brand. There was a noticeable ride improvement, road noise is minimal and the tread has just enough agressiveness to look great while providing an excellent ride.

2 decades of Michelins & still happy

when our Jeep needed new tires, research on quality, safety, performance and overall value led us to Michelin. 18 years later and 3 more sets of Michelins, still happy and satisfied with the original choice and every choice in between. would never consider another tire - just the safety reputation alone is worth it, but to get the performance, durability and ride comfort in addition, there just aren't better tires on the market... period.

Excellent Tires

It is not every day that you come across a product that is not only suitably described by the maker. The Defender LTX M/S2 is such a product. I didn't choose them they came stock on my 2018 F-150 and I have to say Ford mede a great choice. Not only are they a quite tire, they are surefooted in the rain and give great response on dry roads. I think when you combine those two with the longevity of the tires you have a winner. I now have 49,750 miles on this original set and they look like they can go another 10,000 miles easily. I just returned from a 5,450 mile vacation trip and I was expecting to possibly have to replace them before coming home. To my surprise the tires look just like they did before I left. I am planning to replace them with the same tire when they do wear out and I am also adding a spare of the same size. Rotations will then cost a bit more for 5 tires but I expect I'll have that set for a lot longer that this one. I'm saving money with these tires that's another reason to choose them.

I'd most likely buy this tire next time

I purchased this tire for road/highway use and bought based on tread design and depth. I was looking for traction on wet paved roads (especially when starting and turning uphill while starting) in Central Texas for my light rear ended, 98, Dodge Dakota P/U 4x4 with 5.2L. I keep 200 pounds of sand in the truck bed to aid in traction. This tire did not meet my desires. However, I have had 3 different brands over the 7 years I have owned the P/U and this tire has performed the best.

Very planted and quiet

Have my Defenders now for just about 3000 miles on a 4Runner. Not the off-road tire, no - but for 99% of my travels, these tires are great. Smooth ride and they feel sure planted. No snow yet .... Rain driving, I didn't feel any risk or anything. They seem to react better when it was wet out. Very Happy with my purchase.

Because so much is riding on your tires!

My Dad was an avid advocate of Michelin tires all my years growing up. They were the only tires he would buy. I myself however thought tires were tires, as long as they were round and held air who cares. When I was in my early twentys I started my own contracting business and spent a lot of time on construction sites. Needless to say I also spent a lot of time changing flats, due to nails and other construction debris, and a lot of time purchasing tires every year or so. Flash forward fifteen years or so and picture yourself in the high speed lane of a four lane highway during rush hour running around 70 mph. Suddenly and without any indication of a problem my left rear tire blew. Somehow I managed to get over through two lanes of traffic just as the lanes split, two lanes each way and into the center area of the split where I came to a stop. As I sat there trying to gather myself, my now deceased fathers words echoed in my head. Because so much is riding on your tires! It's the perfect slogan, mostly because it's true, but obviously I never got the picture like I'm sure a lot of others haven't. Since that day, now twenty years ago, I'm an avid Michelin fan. In the past twenty years since I've been driving on Michelins I've had three seperate instances were I'm quite convinced that if I had any other tires I possibly woundn't be here to write this review. I preach to all my family and friends that besides the safety factor I haven't had a flat tire in twenty years, and I only have to mess with buying tires every five or six years. You guys make an amazing product and as a consumer it's nice to be able to purchase what I consider to be a life safety product and do it with complete confidence. Please never compromise your quality for your bottom line as I have seen happen with other so called top of the line products.

Nice quiet ride.

I've had these tires on my F150 for a couple of months now and they are the quietest, smoothest riding tire I have ever owned. My truck is 9 years old and I've gone through 2 sets of tires from another manufacturer in 100,000 kms. With 115,000 km wear warranty on these Michelins, I'm sure I will be replacing the truck long before the tires wear out. The higher load rating is a bonus as I use my truck for towing and hauling about half of the time.

GREAT TIRE

I bought these tires in June 2021 and really like the way the handle the road. The only thing I do not like about them is they sling gravel or catch (pick up) items off the roadway, I have running boards but you can hear the gravel hit the under truck or the running boards. I don't know if over time it will chip my vehicel. I had the AT/2 Michelins up to 181 thousand on truck and had no complaints there but these had 10 thousand extra miles on the life of tire so thought I would try them out, so we'll see.

I didn't get that much mileage from them...

I bought defender tires for my wife's car, and she drives like a grandma, which she is, and at 40,000 miles, they are almost gone., except for the one I had to replace, because of a flat that couldn't be repaired. I don't even want to talk about Michelin motorcycle tires with cracking sidewalls that lasted 3 years only...

Slow Grandma, we're sorry to read of your disappointing experiences. I don't see a case under your email to indicate we spoke to you regarding these issues. We hope that you will give Michelin another chance in the future.

LTX/M/S-A Natural fit for Honda Ridgelin

In 2006 I purchased a Honda Ridgeline and am now on my second set of tires- LTX M/S. I am very satisfied with the performance and would not want to use any other tire. My wife and I have just purchased a new Chrysler Town and Country LS and was happy that it comes with Michelin Energy tires. If fact, I would not purchase a new car without specifying that it come with Michelin tires.
