Very noisy

Always had luck with Michelin tires until I purchased 4 defender tires for my ram pickup. The loud whine is unbearable on blacktop roads. A little quieter on concrete but still loud. Unfortunately I waited longer than 30 days to return them.. seriously considering buying new tires even though only 2500 miles on these

was expecting better wear - honestly

Have put on about 20,000 mile on these - medium use and mostly highway. wearing down pretty quickly in less than 1 year. not my previous experience with the Defender tires - they lasted 100k+ miles. Michelin - am questioning why I paid a premium for durability based upon previous performance now. Hopefully they will last. Don't appear to handle dirt/gravel roads as well as advertised/expected. I only buy this brand and this model for my p/u and SUVs. Am reconsidering now with my newest experience.

One more example of a great tire

Vacation this year was to Florida and as we were driving through Georgia we encountered a series of very heavy rain storms. the rain was heavy enough to slow traffic to 30 miles and below on I-75. when we got to our destination for that night the second vehicle that we were traveling with was remarking about all the hydroplaning that they had experienced. we were surprised because we had not experienced any even though there were times there was water on the highway. I attribute this to my Michelin tires and I am glad that they always keep me and my family safe.

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.

Michelin is the best tire by far!!

I am 45 years old and very concerned with the safety of my vehicle. Michelin has proven to be the best tire by far and is worth the price. I have tried to go with a more reasonably priced tire but it was not worth it because of the quick wear. If you want safety especially in inclement weather conditions, quality, smooth ride, durability and even looks, you cannot go wrong with Michelin tires. Michelin tires is what it will be for me FOREVER!!!!

I have had 2 sets of ...

I have had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires, size P215/70R15 on my 2000 GMC Safari RWD van. The first set lasted more than 60,000 miles, and I was so pleased with the ride quality, even wear, traction under all conditions, and handling characteristics that I replaced them with an identical set when the tread wore to about 4/32 and the second set is just as good as the first. The van handles snow, icy roads, and rain with ease, and the vehicle rides smoother than with the original equipment Uniroyal Tiger Paws. These tires can be a little bit noisy on some types of concrete (they sing a little) but this is an uncommon occurrence, and overall they ride smooth, quiet, and secure. I will buy another set without question when the time comes. Neither the Safari or the tires show any signs of wearing out. I strongly recommend these tires for any light truck use, The outlined white letters add a touch of sportiness and set off the polished aluminum wheels nicely.

Quiet, comfortable and capable tire

I recently put these on my 2015 Grand Cherokee and so far, they are great. Prior to these, I had the Latitude Tours, which I loved. These have a more aggressive looking tread pattern, and initially, I was a bit concerned they would have increased road noise, or compromise the comfort of the ride, but I have to say I am impressed - they are as good in those respects as the Latitude. These appear to be a more capable tire in snow and mud and I am looking forward to taking them through a Minnesota Winter. Recommmended!

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

Michelen is the best tire on the road

I purchased a new Dodge Ram 2500 on September 8th, 2001. The truck had 75 miles on the odometer Michelin LTX A/S tires were the original tires that came with the truck. I never used a Michelin product before this point. But I noticed the truck had excellent ride characteristics with these tires. The winter was just around the corner but I found that I never had to worry because these tires always performed flawlesslsy in the worst weather. Another excellent quality about my Michelin tires was was how long the lasted. I was shocked to reach over 100,000 miles and still measure 5/32nds in tread depth. and in those 100,000 miles I never even had a flat or a puncture in any of the tires. Well, my choice for tires when it came time for replacement was obvious at this point, Michelin. I chose to go with the same exact tires that I had on the truck Michelin LTX A/S. and I experienced the same flawless year round performance for another 100,000 plus miles. By the time I was ready for my third set of tires for some reason Michelin discontinued the LTX A/S and I began to panic. Now what was I going to do? I could not switch brands now. Then I spoke to my tire dealer which is an official Michelin dealer and they assured me that the Michelin LTX M/S was a good replacement. I was a little skeptical at first because I liked the perfromance as well as the look of my Michelin LTX A/S tires. I took thier advice and purchased the Michelin LTX M/S tires and once again I got 100.000 plus miles of good solid year round performance. I have always been happy with Michelin tires, I am a mechanic and I am often asked which tires are a good purchase and I always recommend Michelin and refer to my history with them on my truck. That Ram has always been a special truck to me because it was the first new vechicle that I have ever bought, and the events that would unfold three days after I bought my new Ram on September 11. 2001 would suddenly give me a renewed appreciation for life and the freedoms we are blessed with in the United States of America. My Ram currently has about 450,000 miles on it and I am ready for my fourth set of Michelins. That truck has been good to me and has never given my any problems. My Michelin tires have been good to me too. I never even got a flat and my original Michelin LTX A/S spare tire is still mounted under the bed and still has full air pressure in it. My truck and my Michelins have taken me a lot of places. Somtimes a long way from home. But, I know that Ill always make it back because my truck has never let me down and neither has my Michelins

I HAVE USED MICHELIN ...

I HAVE USED MICHELIN TIRES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER-DUTY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 1991. I HAVE AVERAGED OVER 73,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES AND HAVE GOT OVER 80,000 MILES ON THE LAST SET USING REGULAR TIRE ROTATION (UNSING THE SPARE) ON THE LAST SET. I STILL MAY GET ANOTHER 5,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT. MOST OF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN HIGHWAY BUT I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE AVERAGED AROUND 19 MPG ON THIS LARGE TRUCK WHICH I ATTRIBUTE A GOOD DEAL TO THE TIRE QUALITY. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE MICHELIN TIRES AS I BELIEVE THEY PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE FOR MY TIRE DOLLAR.
