I love this tire, I am on ...

I love this tire, I am on my third set of the LTX's. I have 378K miles on my 1998 Blazer and the last set I got over 150K miles on. These are the best long mileage tires ever. The ride and handling are outstanding. I will always use Michelin on my vehicles.

Weak sidewall

I sliced the side wall open while driving on hard top on a pice of lumber at low speed. Only 12,000 K on the set. Now wether to replace two or all four as its a 4X4. Disappointing, good fuel economy and ride though. Maybe I would have better luck with AT/2? Its the sort of failure I associate with off road use.

Smooth As Silk!!!

These tires have given me the best ride and fuel savings on my Lincoln Avaitor. When we purchase our Lincoln it already had Mchelin tires on it. The tires had 31000 and lasted another 15000. This is our 3rd set of Michelins and we now have 130000 on our car and it still rides like it new. Thank you Michelin for making the best tires money can buy.

Loss of Fuel Economy, more road noise

I have been a lifelong Michelin customer. Recently purchased these and my highway fuel economy dropped from 19mpg to around 16.6mpg. I have these tires on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali which replaced an older set of LTX M/S2 tires that were great. These also have more road noise than the previous model of tire. I've seen reviews that provide the explanation that newer tires are more grippy so i should expect some loss of fuel economy and noise, but this is the first that i have ever experience in a tire from michelin. My previous tire, put them on and all was good, nice and quiet, with the fuel economy that i would expect.

REALLY loud! from a Michelin fan

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

Tough Tires

Completed a 17,000 trip to Northern Canada including Dempster Highway which is known to chew up tires. Did a tire rotation halfway through trip and they are still looking good with no abnormal tire wear or damage. Have purchased many Michelin tires over the years and they are the best in terms of coming close to advertised wear life but you do need need to keep them inflated properly, balanced and do the rotations on a regular basis.

I have had issues keeping one of these tires in this particular set in balance so that has been a real pain. This is my 2nd set of this tire and that is the only complaint I have had with either sets of these tires. I will definately purchase these again.

great features

I have used the defender tires for years on my vehicles and love them in every way. Bought a chev pu and the tires were still good, but did not like them and had to replace with these defender tires , could not wait the other tires were loud and did not drive as nice. I will only use michelin tires. My spouse does think it makes that much difference but it does.

The only compaint I have is that one of the tires failed less than 2 weeks after purchase. Traveling 65 mph on a straight stretch, my drive wheel tire had a side wall blow-out. This could have proved fatal had it been non-straight stretch road. However, since it's replacement there has been no problem and we are more than satisfied with them.

Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.
