Balance Problems

Bought a set of these Oct 2018 for my 2015 Ram 2500 to replace the Firestone OE tires at 25784 miles. DOT codes B71500AX0218,0318,5017,&5017. OK on backroads which is most of use, but very bad vibration at highway speeds 70-80mph. Checked alignment and checked for bent wheel - all ok. Rebalanced a month later at 27552 miles. Same problem. Rebalanced and switched Front to Rear at 28571 miles - problem almost completely cured. Rotated by dealer at 35015 miles - problem back. Rebalanced and switched front to rear at 36693 miles and again problem improved to acceptable level. Dealer rotated again at 40488 miles and problem on Interstates back as bad as ever. Rebalanced and swapped front to rear again and again acceptable at 42991 miles. Put 100k miles on F250 with previous design and never had a problem. Put 260k miles on 4 sets of Michelins on 2006 Toyota Avalon - no problem. Put 100k so far on Michelins on 2015 Avalon and 45k on 2019 Sequoia - again no problem - so it has to be something in at least one of the Defender LTX tires most likely one of the ones currently on rear. Definitely not what I expect from Michelin - Currently 45k miles on truck. Trying to figure out where to go next. Not happy with Defenders.

Best tires EVER

We had this particular tire before and had over 70,000 miles on them and still could have used them but was afraid to go off on a trip with them so we decided to get new ones. My wife checked around and priced other cheaper tires but we knew the quality of Michelin tires. There's NO way we would buy anything else.

I have had Michelin LTX ...

I have had Michelin LTX M/S tires on my Yukon since 2003, I have 200,000 miles on my vehicle and are on my third set of Michelin's. They are the best tire I have ever had and will buy nothing but them. I do a lot of highway driving and the ride, handling, and stability in the rain are perfect. I strongly recommend these tires to anyone who owns an SUV is looking fro a great tire. You will not be disappointed with the Michelins. I get 70,000 miles from these tires and never ever have any problems.

Wear out too fast twice

This tire has worn out at 33,000 miles for the 2nd time. I'm tired of getting a 2nd set at a reduced price. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles so it is not my fault. Disappointed in a company I thought made a decent tires. Thinking about looking elsewhere!

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.

This is the second set for my truck.

These are a great set of tires. Long lasting as long as you rotate every 5,000 miles. If you don't your front tires can become cupped and you will feel some front end vibration. Rotate from to back every 5,000 miles and you can get 70,000+ miles easy.

Excellent all season tires

I bought the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 275/55R20 for my 2016 Chevy Tahoe LT. These tires completely changed the Ride, Control, and Stability of my wife’s vehicle in Rain and on Dry surfaces here in South Louisiana. I liked these tires so much that I put a set on my 2016 Silverado Crew Cab Defender LTX M/S 275/50R22, All I can tell you is what a difference in the way my truck rides, handles, and tracks on any given road conditions. These tires are pricey, but in the long run they will pay for themselves.

This set of tires is on a Ford Explorer. They are wearing exceptionally well, and are quiet on the road. Based on the tread depth left, I should get approximately 90,000 miles on this set. I have Michelin Tires on all of my vehicles and would not use any other brand of tires. I have been buying Michelin tires for over 25 years, and I have never been dissatisfied.

Wont balance and out of round

In the last two weeks I have had two sets (265/65/17) installed and now they are coming of my 4Runner and being replaced with another brand. I have always heard that Michelin was a top tire, but my experience has been terrible. Two out of four from the last set were out of round and it didn't matter what method of balancing was used (we tried road force and traditional) and it didn't matter. The first set was worse so i expect they had the same problem. Very unhappy with the amount of time and trips to tire shop dealing with bad manufacturing / quality control. Will never purchase again.

Good when they're new, do not last however

I've had problems with two sets of these. Both wore out way too quickly. The first set was on my Wife's Toyota Sequoia and the 2nd on my GMC Yukon. I put 12k miles on these and they are down to 5/32nds. I plan to take my pro-rated warranty and buy a different brand once they reach 4/32. I used to swear by these tires and this brand, but not anymore.
