After purchasing another brand, I turned around and bought the michelins like I should have. Smooth and extremely quiet ride. I got 80,000 miles from my last set. Gravel roads don't chew up the tread like on other brands. Worth the money in the long run.

I have purchased Michelin tires for over 50 years and with exception of a recall have never had a problem. Just put a "better deal" brand on my diesel car that ad stated was a "high performance tire" but I miss the handling performance of my Michelins! My 1960 TR-3 that I bought in college is sitting in the garage and has never had any tire but Michelin. I am a loyal customer to this brand. Thanks.

This is my second set of tires on my 2000 Silverado 1500. Truk has 185K miles. Driving around the city or on the highway very comfortable. reat traction and gas mileage has been outstanding. 20 mpg on the highway! Would definitely buy these again. Great in the rain and wet locations and in the snow with 4x4. I get very good mileage fro these tires easy 70K miles. Have not done too much off road with these so I can't comment.

For my last six vehicles I’ve bought Michilens when it came time to replace originals. Nice ride and good handling. These are the same in that respect. However the mileage dropped immediately and consistently from the original tires. I am averaging 15% to 20% LOWER gas mileage since I had these put on. All that great tread is going to give me is several thousand more miles of less than optimal gas economy.

I always like to us Michelins. Currently being unemployed I may have to settle for less. My last Michelins lasted on my 3/4 ton truck towing a large 5th wheel trailer for over 52000 miles and still had enough tread left to get a trade in on new ones. I've put them on every truck I could. They are the very best. I wish I could put them on my current Expedition!!!

I purchased the predecessor (Non Defender) LTX M/S tires about 2.5 years ago. Warranty was for 70,000 miles but I only made it to 47,000 miles and was at or below the wear bars. Tires were rotated and balanced every 7500 miles. I did get credit back for the shortfall in mileage and now have the Defender tires on my truck. Hopefully this time they will make it to the 70K. Pretty disappointed in the fact that my first set of Michelin's did so poorly. Truck is just a daily driver not used for work. Tires performed well but 47K is not even close to the warranty.

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.

These are the worst tires I have ever owned. I have another set on my Tacoma which I bought a couple of year’s ago. Those were the best tire I have owned. This new version vibrates and shakes horrible between 65-75 miles sn hour. I had them rebalanced which did nothing. Regret the day I bought these. I was always a Michelin guy but I am rethinking that now.

This is one of the best tires anywhere for my 2014 MDX. But, like some reviewers, mine got very noisy. I bought my daughter a set for her same year MDX, and her's never got noisy. When you read the reviews, you realize that some consider them great and others consider them second rate. Quality control?

Have used these Michelin Defender LTX M+S tires for 12 months now on my work car, a Honda CRV , 2009 model. They are 225- 65R 17 tires with about 8000 km so far. The best ride of all the tires we have used so far. We use Michelin Latitude x-ice tires on our winter rims. We have purchased seven sets of tires from Michelin since 2009. Three sets of winter ice tires and four sets of Defenders. ( 3 sets of T + H and 1 set of LTX M/ S ). The LTX M/S are by far my favourite tire. They look great too ! Three vehicles are all running Michelin tires. Never had a problem yet. You pay a bit more for good quality, but get great piece of mind and much more safety on the road.
