Shoulders of the tire wear to a point that there are no longer any sipes even though there is plenty of siped- tread remaining in the center of the tire; thus, water is not displaced as well, creating a greater chance of hydroplaning.

Trust the Michelin brand with tires for their durability. The tires have nice traction and provide a comfortable driving experience. You can't go wrong with Michelin tires.

Michelin tires are a little bit more expensive but you truely get what you pay for..My last set of michelins I got over 60,000 miles. This was on my work van! You can't beat that! When VW Passat needs tires guess what brand tire I'm using? HA! HA!

Needed to replace ( 10 years ) tires. While the they only had 25K miles the ride was not smooth any longer. These new Defender have made all the difference.

This tire company combines durability, reliability and safety. I easily figured out the compatibility for my car and installed it without any problems. These are not my first Michelin tires, I love them for their performance.

Over 70,000 miles on these tires - performed so well and gave exceptional wear that I opted to replace them with the same tires plus I changed tires on my Nissan pickup to the current style LTX MS2.

I purchased my Michelins to have peace of mind on the highway. They are great smooth riding tires. Took my grandchildren (2 9year olds) on a 4000 mile road trip this summer. Never had to worry about my tires. Thanks Michelin!

I purchased these tires a month ago and have been very pleased with their performance. They provide a noticeable improvement in the smoothness of our ride. I’m anxious to see how the rest of their life goes.

Have had these tires for about two yrs now and am very pleased. I live in the mtns of CO and see a lot of snow each year. Very good traction on snow and ice. Kind of expensive so they get 4/5 stars.

I've got 71,000 miles on this set of Michelin Pilot LTX M + S ...might make it to 80,000 before replacing...good over the road tire...handling in wet roads diminished when they had over 60,000 miles, but still one of the best tires I've owned
