Great Tire!

Tires wear excellent. Side walls look brand new. 68k and still tread life. Better to spend the dollars on a superior tire than save a dollar on less expensive tire that does not even compare. Ridgeline ride is great. Handles very smooth. Braking is good. Looking at moving up to Latitude for our next set of Michelin Tires. Have Michelin tires on our Honda Civic and if I can find tires we will put them on our Goldwing. Michelin makes great tires that last.

Rides Smooth

These tires are mounted on my daily driver, a 2007 Chevy trailblazer. It is used mostly for touring, and we had a mild winter last year, but if these are anything like my previous set of Michelin's they will get me where I need to go and do it smoothly and quietly. 15000 miles so far without any signs of wear.

Disappointed

I have been a Michelin fan for 30 years. Every vehicle I have runs on Michelin rubber. I bought a set of Defender LTX M/S for my 2019 Ridgeline and could not be more disappointed. The road noise from these tires was terrible. They whined like a monster truck. I ended up replacing them with a different set of tires from another company. Another customer at the same tire store had a similar experience with the same tire. I’m hoping this is just a one off bad batch of tires and not a loss of historically great quality.

Jets4474, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. We're sorry your experience with Defender LTX M/S was not a positive one. We hope that you will consider Michelin tires again in the future.

I always buy reliable Michelin Tires!

I do a lot of driving in all kinds of weather and road conditions. Michelin Tires have never let me down, steady and true in a rainy downpour and reliable traction in snow and changing road conditions. Since I usually have children along, their safety is top priority. Thanks to Michelin Tires, I have never had any trouble on the road.

We have two family ...

We have two family vehicles and a motorhome. All have Michelin tires. Had switched to Michelin tires 10 years ago and have been very sastified. This past summer I was concerned with my 10 ply tires on our motorhome. We live in Arizona and travel to California in hot weather across the desert. I check the tires often and noticed some dryness where the sidewalls meet the tread. Mileage was 11,600 and the tread looked new. My thoughts was the safety of my family for fear of tread seperation. The tire dealer put me in-touch with Michelin Customer Service. A very nice woman took my information making a file and informed me to return the the dealer for inspection. A inspection was made on each tire and numbers recorded. The dealer phoned Michelin with the information. A short time passed and I was informed Michelin was covering 90% for of purchase of (6) new 10 ply tires. I was back on the road with great confidence. Thank You Michelin.

These are the best tires ...

These are the best tires I have ever purchased. Ride is seamless, traction in wet or snow is excellent even when worn. Current set has over 75000 miles and are not to the wear bars yet. I will be buying another set soon. Even though tire vendors try to convince me that other cheaper tires are as good I will not be persuaded to switch.

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

A perfect tire for my Element.

Michelin is my go-to brand for all things automotive. The LTX M/S tires I am currently using have met or exceeded all of my expectations for my Element. They provide good traction, a comfortable ride and seem to be wearing very well. I did not rate wear life in the review below, because I haven't yet put a lot of miles on these tires. As yet, I have not experienced any negatives regarding these tires. As such, I expect to remain a faithful Michelin consumer for years to come.

Built to last

I purchased this tire in 2020 shortly after cupping the OEM Firestone Destination Tires with less than 30,000 miles. I sold the Jeep Wrangler in May 2024 with over 101,000 miles on the vehicle. 73,000 of the last miles were on the Michelin Defender LT MS tires purchased in 2020. The tires were still serviceable with 5/32 tread depth remaining.

Almost the best tires ever!

Best tire ever made for large vehicles that primarily drive on the street. As a small business owner with service vehicles we have purchased a lot of these tires. Why did I rate them a three? Because Michelin cares more about longevity than safety. This goes for all of their truck tires. These tires are the best tires on the road for the first 45,000 miles of tread life and then the rubber compound gets harder and harder as they continue to wear making them so slippery that they easily hydroplane and barely get a good grip on some hard dry surfaces. Do yourself a favor and consider them a 50,000 mile tire. I noticed they are fading these out for the Platinum Edition with a high mileage rating. I'll probably try them soon but I'm sure it's the same result.
