The best tires I've ever purchased!!!!

I purchased my set of four tires on June 21, 2011 before going on vacation with my family. This is my first set of Michelin tires and I can honestly tell you these are the best tires I've ever had. On our trip to Florida from TX, it rained practilly all the way there. I have a long wheel based pick-up and I never experienced any hydroplaning like I have with my other tires. I now have about 40,00 miles on them, and you can hardly see any wear. My wife's SUV also has a set of four on it. I my opionion, these tires are the cream of the crop in the tire industry.

worst Michelin tire I ever had

I've had these tires on my 2015 F250 since July , thought maybe they would get better but no hope. I've bought Michelins for the last 23 yrs , a new set about every 14-15 months. These Defenders are worse tires ever , VERY bad ride , I always bought Michelin for the soft ride and road handling. But never another set of Defenders. If the didn't cost so much I would change them out now.

these tires lasted ...

these tires lasted 130,000 miles and still were not quite down to the wear bars. vehicle is a 2000 ford explorer and while i did not beat them up this suv is not babied either. even late in the tread life they performed extremely well in the rain and snow. the new LTX M/S 2's are even better starting and stopping in the rain. i do not believe that there is a better tire on the market, at least in this application.

love these tires

I am female, and dont know a whole of technical stuff about tires, but I do know I am really happy to have these tires for my Tahoe. they seem to make the drive quieter and when we hit a slick patch of road while driving in very cold temps the tires dug in and we did not skid. made me feel very safe.... a big plus-they look very cool on my Tahoe, and after driving on them for a several weeks the still look brand new.

15k so far and excellent

We bought two sets of these tires about 15 months ago. The Michelin Defender LTX are wonderful tires for my wife’s 2011 Odyssey van and my 2009 Acura MDX suv. Have road tripped them both 1000’s of miles and they are smooth and quiet and are also great around town whether wet or dry. I took the Acura to the Rocky Mountains and these tires inspire great confidence even through a foot of fresh snow. And quiet on the highway (less than 68db). Plus the 18” version of these tires have 12/32 of tread when new, so they are going to last a long time. Much better for a heavy van and SUV than the “regular” Defenders IMO, since those are built for lighter cars, while the LTX version is for heavier ones like a loaded down minivan (well north of 5500 pounds when loaded with 6 people, 2 dogs, and tons of luggage). Don’t be turned off by the LTX version for your minivan or luxury SUV. They look cool too, are built for a heavy vehicle, and are still super smooth. I have about 15k miles so far on the Acura MDX’s tires. Just drove it 2500 miles round trip with the LTX tires to the Colorado mountains and back through all types of weather: dry and smooth interstate as well as blinding snow a foot deep. They were super smooth and quiet crossing Kansas on the interstate, and never slipped in the Colorado snow. Could not be more pleased. I would recommended this version of tire over the regular Defender for heavier vehicles, since I would not have thought about an LTX tire since one normally thinks about a pickup for an LTX tire. The tires have stayed 100% balanced (as all Michelin tires do!) and wear evenly. Kudos to Michelin for engineering a great tire for all the family vans and SUVs out there.

Great tire!

These tires are excellent and I simply can't say enough to express how impressed I have been with them. They were the original tires on my 2009 Honda Ridgeline when I bought it, and at a little over 106,000 miles I have just replaced them with a brand new set of four. When the technicians removed the old tires they had worn very evenly and I probably could have gotten another few hundred miles out of them before they really needed to be changed. When I bought my truck I had a job that had me driving all over the state of Minnesota in all seasons including a very harsh winter. The tires never failed me in snow, on ice, in rain nor on hundreds upon hundreds of highway and back road driving. The ride on them is also very smooth; I can't count how many people have told me that my Ridgeline rides like a sedan. Overall, these are excellent tires that I would recommend to anyone. I just put a brand new set on my truck and am looking forward to another 100,000 miles!

Great long-lasting tire ...

Great long-lasting tire on my 2003 Ford Excursion. I have over 20,000 miles on these tires and they show no signs of wear. They work well on dry pavement and the grooves are deep enough to handle standing water with no problem. The tread is also agressive enough to handle deep snow. The rubber compound seems soft even when cold to handle ice as well.

I have a very heavy (9500 ...

I have a very heavy (9500 pounds) one-ton van converted to a self-contained RV, and with over a ton on each corner, blowouts are something I wanted to avoid. These tires have done their job for the last five years in a commendable fashion. In addition to no problems with them, the fuel economy, smoothness, and braking are so good that I have no complaints at all. I'm replacing them with another set after 75,000 blessedly uneventful miles.

most milage for the buck, great tire

I live in the in an area that has chip seal roads. these are the most unforgiving roads on tires. I have 2 4x4 autos. the least milage I have recevied was 21000 miles on a set of tires, not Michelin. next set when needed on my auto will be the Michelin as I know the result from using Michelin. also installed Michelin on my fathers suberu, still on after many miles and in good shape. thank you-
