If it's not Michelin, I'm not interested

My son has an older model Jeep Cherokee Limited with over 150K miles. The Jeep had set of Michelin tires which we loved the ride and the durability. We visited a local retail shop and they had sold out of the Michelin for that size car. The salesman recommended several high quality tires that he had in stock as an alternative. After considering his pitch, I simply said "If it's not a Michelin, I am not interested." Interestingly the saleman replied, "I think you are right. No question, Michelin is the best tire." After some reseach, I was able to find a set, ordered them and waited a couple of day for the tires to arrive. It was absolutely worth it. We drive the Jeep in mixed conditions; rain, snow, mountain gravel roads and interstates. Thanks Michelin for making such a great product!

Fantastic Tire

My new GMC 1500 Denali came from the factory with Bridgestone tires. I asked the dealership to change out to Michelin that I had been running various models on my trucks for over 30 years. They declined and said the Bridgestone tires were "just as good". At 186 miles, on the freeway at 80 mph the left rear Bridgestone completely came apart. It delaminated like retreads do on tractor trailers. I was able to pull the truck over, put on the spare and drove back to the dealership I've never had a tire come apart like that. After a bit of a discussion with the Sales Manager the dealer persuaded GMC to replace the tires with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Couldn't be happier. The tire is quiet, handles like a dream and I don't worry about the quality. "Just as good" means inferior in my mind.

Buyer regret

Have bought Michelin tires for every car I owned. I bought these tires last week and drove on a short highway trip 3 days later. Horrible vibrations and they ride like a mack truck on constant potholes. The ride beat me to death and could not wait to get out of the vehicle. Loved my vehicle until I put these tires on the auto and regret this purchase already.

Solid Tire for F150 (Heavy Duty Payload Package)

I purchased my first set of Defenders about 3 years ago. 245-75-17s (with "E" duty rating). Long story short, I got 90,000 miles on my first set of Defenders. I towed as much as 6,000 pounds on these tires, and loaded upwards of 3,200 in the bed of the truck on these tires. I was impressed, and continued to remain impressed. I could have reached 100,000 on this first set of Defenders but I do have my limits. I recently upgraded to larger tires for my truck. 285-70-17s. I stayed with the Defenders. So far, so good.

My first experience was ...

My first experience was on my new 1997 mini truck. I finally replaced them at 125k miles. They performed very well in all conditions including snow and ice. Cornering and handling was enhanced by these tires. I made up my mind at that time that all my vehicles would have Michelin tires. All my vehicles including three quarter ton and half ton trucks and 9 passenger vehicle. My new mini SUV also has factory issue michelin.

I took delivery of a new ...

I took delivery of a new 2004 Chev Tahoe 4WD. Before I picked it up I paid the difference to upgrade to a set of Michelin LTX's. This is not my first time on this model of tire and auto. 89,000 miles later I went back for a new set. The ride even as they get some miles on them is great. They always rebalance beautifully. I'll go for Michelins for my ZO6 Corvette when I wear out the original tires it came with.

Excellent choice

I own 7 vehicles and 6 of them have Michelin defender's other 1 has Michelin Pilot Sport. that wear great NO Problems. No balance issues, they wear proper. Work great on snow and ice (tires help on snow and ice but only if you actually know how to drive on it). Excellent wet weather traction. I don't have tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) on none of them, don't want it and don't need it! I can feel if it doesn't feel right and I'll pull over and check. I also check tire pressure's on a regular basis. I don't rotate every oil change or any of that mess. I rotate only when it's needed. I'm changing a set on my 2000 Honda Accord V6 in the morning (6-29-24) that has around 68,000 miles on them with 3/32 left on them and only rotated twice (car driven VERY regularly to Duke children's hospital 2.4 hr drive 1 way, I just ain't trusting any other tire for it). My alignments are right. Never ever will there be a so called "special on alignment" ever done on anything I own, all they do is toe and go or just get it to look good for the printout. I do my own set to exact specs! Absolutely no worn parts. If you're ever told "we can adjust it for it being worn". Nope, you just got took. On another note you can not buy tires only by size and price you have to get not only the tire size BUT you have to get the speed and weight rating for your application. Example P205/65r15 94H. P is for Passenger, LT is needed for trucks that's going to be hauling anything heavy. The 94H is the load index & speed rating extremely crucial. It can literally mean the tire can't hold the weight it is carrying/hauling or handle the speed your going to be driving. Therefore I don't buy tires by price, I buy what I need and just pay the price needed and in the end it's cheaper and safer. Thanks Michelin

Awesome

We put in a lot of driving and what's most important is the smooth and quiet ride we receive from Michelin tires. The tires wear more evenly than most tires on the market. I have to say, the previous Michelin tires (same brand) gave us a longer life; same driving pleasure, but wore out sooner.

We have had these tires ...

We have had these tires for over 70,000 miles and they still have tread left. Over the last 10,000 miles or so I have noticed that they have gotten louder. Also, they now have a tendency to when pulling away from a stop sign or making a tight turn in a parking lot. These have always been excellent in the snow and good in the rain. Even though these tire were probably the most expensive tires I have purchased, the are by far the best I have ever had. They outlasted the stock tires on my Highlander 2WD by over 40,000 miles. They also had much better handling and traction than the stock tires. I plan on replacing these in the next month or so with a new set of these or the LTX MS/2

"You get what you pay for"

This is the third set of LTX M/S I've owned and I will not ever own anything else! These tires are perfect for my truck ,long interstate drives or getting a little mud on my tires makes no difference with these babies! My dad always taught me the two most important things on a vehicle were the tires and brakes. He also said your going to get what you pay for, which I didn't always follow his advise. I took the cheaper route and it always cost me more in the end. LTX Michelins will out last and ride smoother then any tire on the market and thats why this guy will never buy anything else. Sincerely Jason Reuter.
