Nice But Didn't Last

I purchased these tires for my Tahoe in 2016 because they came highly recommended. I've really liked their performance over these years with the gentle driving I do, mostly city -short distance to work, errands, and one trip to Colorado. However, I've only driven 38,000 miles thus far and am being told I need to replace due to tread wear. I understand the recommended replacement time period, but it seems the tread should have lasted longer than this. Am I missing something?

Love my tires

On my Chevy Silverado HD Diesel pick up they are great for mileage over the other tires I have used. Traction is great in wet weather and snow also. I will be replacing them with new ones the same when they wear out. I will get about 50,000 miles as opposed to 35-40,000 on previous brands.

Smooth ride

I just drove a couple thousand miles on my new Michelin Defenders. Some of the ride was on I-40, perhaps the worst interstate in the system. But the tires smoothed the ride as much as could be expected. I wish all the money from hiway taxes went into roads for cars instead of bike lanes and squirrel sanctuaries.

Purchased for Jeep Wrangler

Superior difference in handling when on the road and at high speeds. Very smooth and better handling than the replaced Michelin tires that came from the factory. They look good and a bit more aggressive. So far very pleased with the tires and extremely happy with Discount Tires in Sioux Falls, SD. Our rep, Todd, went way out of his way to help us with the cost of our tires.

Durability Master !

The reliability of my Michelin LTX truck tires for my Ford 150 4x4 is nothing short of amazing. They are exposed daily to a very wide vareity of road conditions and hazards and never fail. The ride is remarkably smooth. A similar set of LTX on my wife's Chevy SUV has nearly 90,000 miles with a stunning amount of tread remaining and not one problem.

Below expectations

I have owned multiple sets of Michelin LTX tires on my trucks through out the years and have always had a great service from them.. until now with the LTX Defender tires. I bought these tires to replace a very worn set of OEM BF Goodrich tires that came on my truck. After 3 separate tire shops attempts at balancing the tires I am still left with a very significant amount of vibration at speeds over 50 mph. Very disappointing to say the least!

We have the Michelin LTX ...

We have the Michelin LTX 245/70-16 on a Nissan 4x4 Pathfinder that replaced the stock 255/65-16. Had the tires on the vehicle now for years and 40,000 miles. The tread looks like it will last another 40,000 miles and wears very even. The sidewalls are extremely rigid and must be puncture resistant. We live in a area with lots of potholes and new construction, so nails and debris is common on the road. My wife gets nail punctures very often and I don't so I have to think the deeper thread blocks and inner lining of the Michelins must have something to do with it. Where we live when it snows they don't clear the roads, so I only drive the Pathfinder then because the tires have really good grip on show and icy roads. They are way better than the OE tires, I am very impressed. If there is any negative complain I would say they do ride harder than the OE tires, they are very quiet but you do feel the road surface more.

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.

MICHELIN LTX m/s

I have been driving on Michelins for years now because they handle well, wear well, and I feel safe driving them. I have had them on SUV's as well as small trucks. The last vehicle that I put them on was a Tacoma 4x4. I highly suggest giving them a try. I have only one problem during all the years that I have used them Michelin took the tire back and replaced it.

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??
