I bought a truck that had ...

I bought a truck that had been parked for awhile and needed tires. It had 65,000 miles on it. I knew I wanted Michelins based on the reputation of their tires. I had Michelins put on the truck and it now has 130,412 miles on it with the same tires and I really don't need to replace them yet! I have not had a flat tire or any other problem with them. I will replace them soon just for safety but I will definitely replace them with Michelins. In fact, as long as I'm driving, my vehicle will have nothing but Michelins on it. I feel very safe knowing that's what is on my vehicle and in my opinion, they are the best tire available.

Bought these for my ...

Bought these for my wife's explorer sport '02. wanted something to be able to handle wet roads as well as slight off-road conditions. Very pleased at the ride quality, low road noise and wet, lick, road handleing. Took it off-road and was very impressed. Massive mud puddle with no wheel spin at all. I feel very safe with my wife behind the wheel now.

Tires only lasted 30K miles

Have these tires due to 70K mile warranty. At 20K miles, noticed extreme wear on the front. Realized had not completed rotation. Began rotating tires, but to no avail. Tread worn completely across entire tire on 2 of them. 2 remaining tires also low on tread. Likely 10K left on those. Have bought at least 5 other sets of Michelin’s (LTX MS & LTX MS2). All lasted at least as long as the warranty. Not these. Tire dealer said nothing can be done for warranty. Pretty disappointing. These tires are not cheap.

using MTX/MSA tires on a 26' R V

we have a 26 we have a 26 ft. class c motorcoach, we use 7 tires, and are very senstive about tire care especially air pressure, we are overloaded on the rear 4 tires and as instructed we keep 80 psi in those tires. we purchased new tires 3years ago, they found on the inside of the tires a noticable amount of dry rot, the tires were 59.5 months old they had 23,000 miles on them. ;

Great Tire

I have had several sets of Michelins over the years and they have all been good tires, but these Defender LTX M/S are the best so far. I ran the PSI up to 40 -it was set at 32 from the installer and that made a big difference. I have not used them in snow yet but took a couple 800 miles trips and hit a lot of rain and sun at speed. These tires make my truck feel like a train- glued to the road...hit 1 to 2 inch pools of water on the interstate and they sliced right through it. Very comfortable ride and no excess noise. The only downside is I think I lost a MPG or two on the highway - but these are for a truck, if you want MPG your driving the wrong vehicle. Buy these tires you will not be sorry.

Thanks so much for the kind words A Guy, we appreciate your loyalty! In reference to your MPG, new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Smooth ride

Picked up a 2019 Nissan Titan pickup with Goodyear tires, after one highway trip I noticed a slight vibration at 65 mph. Thought about it for about one second and had my local tire shop order me a set of defender 275/20’s. The tires are 33 inch anyway put on Michelin’s and the truck is as smooth as silk. Good thing there is a tire company that can make a big tire with some precision. Another happy customer

great tire - would buy again

I've got 37 thousand miles on mine and plenty of tread left. The around town miles are pretty easy, but each weekend these tires see at least a hundred miles of Idaho back country dirt roads in the summer and plenty of snowy trips to the ski hill in the winter. A good bit of that is in 4WD, in places where you want the security of a high quality tire.

Best light truck and SUV all-terrain tire

I have found the best light truck and SUV all-terrain of all time. I will be happy After I get our 5th set installed next week. Long lasting. Great traction wet, dry, and snow. They are worth the money for peace of mind. Quiet ride. Once you get about 3 years on any tire they start to get loud, hard, and slick tread. The defender ltx ms2 do not.

8 Years

I purchased these tires for my FWD Honda Element in 2006. They have lasted me about 120,000 miles and 8 years. There are sometimes it was poor in snow, but I always made it through. This is a good long lasting tire. Since they longer make it in my size I now have the Latitude Tour, and will use winter tires in the winter.

A great SUV tire!!

I have these tires on an older Jeep Liberty with 140,000 miles on it. It's the 4th pair of tires on this vehicle. I use them in all types of weather and road conditions. The tires have performed well so far and I look forward to several more years of use out of them.
