Perfect

265 70-R16 on 2012 Nissan Frontier 4x4 Crew Cab. Less rolling resistance, less than 1/2 previous tire noise, perfectly smooth ride, excellent traction, when accelerating, slowing, or turning. Highly recommended. No other companies tires are even close.

Great tire

Installed on my new 2012 Chevy Conversion Van. I put 20,000 Miles on since last Aug 22nd. Did a long trip tp CA. DROVE 10,000 Miles. Tire looks great on my van they really fill the wheel well. The ride was great and they still look like new. Very satisfied with this tire and will buy them again.

Great tires

Bought these tires about 2 weeks ago for my Toyota Tacoma (2001). 265/75 R16! My truck rides so much smoother now and the tires are really quiet! The steering is easier too! We had a couple of hard rains here and the tires were great in it! They seem to grip the road so much better now (dry pavement)! Now if they last as long as stated, you must buy these tires!

With proper rotation and ...

With proper rotation and inflation every 5000 miles, I have reached 80,000 miles on a set. I should have replaced at 75,000 miles just for safety. I live on a gravel road and these tires do not have rubber pieces chunking out from tires as another brand of tire I had on when I purchased this truck did. When I called that manufacturer about that set I was told not to drive on gravel roads. The Michelin tire is the most durable and safest tire I have ever used. I use them mostly for on road driving and I feel that this is the only light truck tire worth the money. I love the way they my truck handles when I have a set of Michelins on and I can count on at least 65,000 miles on a set in which that is what I have on them now and they still have about 10,000 miles left. This tire is a very quiet tire as far as road noise is concerned. I recommend nothing but Michelin tires for light trucks.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

Great all around tire.

I’ve had these tires for 10,000 miles now. I commute daily 40 miles and use my truck for construction as my side business. I’ve had well over 14k with trailer and equipment for on these tires for well over 2000 of those miles and these tires have shown little to no wear. Obviously, they don’t have the aggressive tread of other tires but I have gotten around muddy and clay job sites fine. I always use my truck around our farm daily and haven’t gotten stuck in my pastures. After running over 20 different brands and treads of tires these are the best of all worlds for highway, work, and farm chores. If you’re feeding cows daily in heavy mud I would get a mud terrain tire as my other truck that never hits the highway has, but these are good on your primary rig. Highway driving us superior with the Michelins. Minor, ever so slight noise at higher speeds, but infinitely quieter than any AT I have ever ran. I would go rock crawling with these tires, but great for daily use. I bought 10 ply.

Best Tires on the Road

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.

LTX tire noise

I have always been a Michelin fan. The recent set of LTX's were installed at time of vehicle purchase in 2019 and got me 90,000 miles. I purchased a new set in May of 2022, they have roughly 10k miles on them. After the first rotation they began to howl. I expected a little but not like this. I took the vehicle to point of purchase and inquired about the noise. We rotated front to back but the noise remains. It's been too long and too many miles for a tire adjustment from the store so i'm about to pay additional money to swap out the tires for a new set but after reading other reviews about the noise i'm afraid my money will not be well spent. To me it seems Michelin's improvement to an already great tire is ruining my enjoyment of driving and the security of riding on the best. Not sure what to buy now.

Great Tires

I have ran the tires on multiple trucks and suvs. Primarily blacktop miles on back country roads and interstate. Excellent traction in rain and snow. Sticks to road with excellent mileage, usually 80,000 plus miles. Little costly but worth the investment. Tires will last twice as long as other brands.

Splits in sidewall

For the second time one of my tires has split on the sidewall. The last time Michelin said my husband must have run over something. Now the second tire has also split on the sidewall. Don't know how these got all of these good reviews. We will never buy another Michelin since they seem to be junk!
