These tires are great night and day from my other tires. Live in North East Ohio along the lake. These tires have great snow traction and preform great on wet roads. would get them again and recommend them to friends and family. Got 4 new tires in November 2016

I was not surprised at the quality of Michelin and these tires but I was however surprised by how much longer they lasted than advertised. They lasted over 100K miles. I drive a heavy vehicle about 35K miles per year in all types of severe conditions (highway, mountain roads, towing a trailer, heavy city traffic-stop and go, etc.) These tires never let me down in at all. I WILL purchase again.

Smooth enough ride, feels like a sure grip ... but a tad noisy compared to our previous tires. The biggest disappointment is with the mileage. After expecting a modest improvement based on the marketing claims, our mileGe actually dropped from 10.7 to 11.5 with our mid-sized SUV ... same driving environment and driving habits ... 25/75 city/highway driving. Would not recommend these tires yet, based on our 2,000 km experience. The value just isn’t there. We were expecting more from our first ( and, sadly, probably our last) purchase of this brand.

I have been employed by Ford dealer for many years and have experience with many different tire brands. Michelin tires have always been the best built tires in my experience.The initial quality is very consistent.Today I installed 4 MICHELIN® Defender® LTX® M/S 245/65R17 tires on my 2008 Ford Explorer. I used Hunter GSP9700 balancer. All tires had Road Force Measurement less than 11 lbs. By moving tires on the rim, I managed to drop Road Force Measurements to 2 lbs,9 lbs, 4 lbs and 8 lbs and matched front tires to 0 lbs Net Pull. And this is pretty heavy truck tire. The Road Force limit for P-metric and Euro-metric tires is 26 lbs.

I put a set on my 95 Chevy Blazer about 5 years ago; I drove the vehicle a year or so then relinquished it to my daughter who drove it for the next few years and she and her husband are driving it. All on the same set of Michelins. We live in the country on a bumpy rocky road and they have never let us down. Probably about 30 to 40 thousand miles of mostly local city driving on these tires. Will always buy michelin if possible.

2014 Charger that came with Pilot MXM4’s which are excellent. Decided to go with a long lasting tire since she has surpassed 120k. The defender has a bit more cushion than the MXM4 and the Pilot Sports I’ve also had. Great highway ride and strong handling attributes even compared with the sportier tire.

I bought 4 new tires from my local car dealer. The tires perform in all types of weather with excellent grip. In addition, the tires have given me great wear, they currently have 45,000 miles and still show a significant amount of tread. There is no road tire noise of any kind and I get great mileage. So, in summary, very safe, great wear, no noise, great mileage and no required maintenance (other than allignment). Yes, I will buy them again.

Overall I have been very satisfied with the M/S I have it on two 4Runners a 1995 & a 1998. I have noticed the tendency to wander when on traveliing down grooved freeways but on regular freeways and roads they track beautifully and the wearability and durability of these tires has amazed me. the first set I ran on the 98 4Runner ran over 100,000 miles without incident.

I have been driving and buying tires for over 50 yrs and these LTX M/S are by far the smoooothest riding tires I ever had. I could feel the difference in 2 blocks. I only have 200 miles on them so I have to wait and see how they last. I only give them 4 stars because I just bought them. They are NOT cheap but I think they will be worth it.

I got a set on my 2014 crew cab F150 4x4. Have had them about a year and a half and now nearing 90,000 miles. Never a set of tires that have lasted this long. They have been great. Smooth ride and handle well in all kind of weather even when we get hit with the lake effect snow we get here. They are finally getting down to needing replacement and I have an appointment for Monday to get another set.
