I needed to replace my stock Good Year Wranglers which I considered good tires at 95K. After careful research I settled on The Michelin Defender LTX M/S and they have exceeded my expectations in the first six weeks of driving. I am mostly highway with a mix of city driving averaging about 400 KM a week in northern Manitoba. The first week I had the tire we had constant wet greasy snow and for the last few weeks a mix of -30 to -10 and intermittent snow. These tires have exceeded my expectations for traction on the snow covered and slippery roads during acceleration cruise and stopping. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride.

These tires are awesome. The traction is great. The do great in any type of weather. These tires have almost no road noise. They make my 2008 feel like newer car with the way tires handle. These tires are well worth the money that cost you wont be sorry u purchased them

A buddy convinced me to use his tire guy, who talked me into buying bargain brand tires that saved a couple hundred bucks, over the Michelins that I've always used. I took it on a 300 mile hunting trip that weekend, and they “wallowed,” and the kicker was on the return trip from Del Rio, high winds over a long elevated bridge sent the truck into an “oscillation” that nearly put us into a head on. I took it back, paid for new Michelins and another hundred for the trouble… it was worth it! Those tires right now have 72K miles on them, and I'll probably get another 10k easy… and I don't drive bald tires!

We have been purchasing the Defender LTX tires for several years for all of our vehicles (van, sedans, and small compact cars). They do great in the snow and rain and have lasted well past the warranty. I recommend them to friends frequently and have been very happy with the Defenders.

My 2015 Escape came equipped with the worst (not Michelin) high performance tires on earth and literally were breaking apart in a short time. I was advised the Defenders were the best and I'm on my 2nd set. I've had Blizzaks on this car, but now that they're worn out, I find the Defenders do the job all seasons in Michigan!

I have been running this series of your tires on 2 different vehicles' for over 20 years and have nothing but praise for them. There has just not been any failing grade at any point. Thank you for continuing this product without changing to be better like so many products and in actual fact end up give the customer a inferior product . Keep your quality, IF IT'S NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT.

The first thing that I noticed was that they were quiet. Number two, I didn't downshift into third gear climbing the bridge on my way to the gym. I stayed in overdrive and the truck pulled the hill very well. With the old tires I had to downshift to get over the bridge. Thirdly, the traction difference is very noticeable and lastly my handling has improved. I should see an improvement in my gas usage per mile. Excellent choice for me. This my second set as I put a set on my other truck. Highly recommend these tires.

have never had a set of michelins that I did not like, seem easier to balance than other tires. Always ride smooth. Michelins are all I ever buy for my F-150, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and BMW 535i, all ride flawlessly and the tires last well. Best buy on the market!

I bought my latest set of these Michelin tires about six months ago and they are as I expected them to be, quiet, smooth riding and showing very little tread wear. They have trouble free as well, but this is not a surprise to me, as I have had several sets of Michelins over the years. They are my go to brand of tires for sure. Trouble free and outstanding wear performance. Highly recommended if you are looking for the same. I will buy again without any hesitation for sure.

Had a set of these put on my 4WD Honda Element in September. I liked immediately. The ride is good, they're pretty quiet, but since winter hit, I realized these are the best tires I've ever had. The grip in deep snow is excellent, they stop well in snow/ice/slush and I have to be sure not to get overconfident. Wear in the first 3,000 miles has been negligible. I'm really happy with these tires. They even look like they mean business.
