I started using Michelin Tires 8 years ago. This brand is the only tire I can say will actually last it's mileage and then some. The last set I had, lasted 6 years, and when I had them replaced, the mechanic could not believe how old they were and how many miles they had.

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

Bought a set of Defender LTX M/S tires about 6 months ago. When I first drove with them I noticed that they were very noisy. Had them rotated and balanced at 6000 miles. I discussed the noise problem with the dealer and he had a technician drive my vehicle after the tires were rotated. The technician said the tires sounded quiet to him. I had him ride with me and he said he could hear the tire noise but considered them to be quiet, "quieter than most". I have never had tires this noisy. I would not recommend these tires if you want a quiet ride.

I've logged 30,000 km so far on these tires. They are quiet and have remarkable traction and grip in snow and rain. I've had Michelin tires on all my vehicles for the past 40 years, except once when I tried another brand. I was sorry I did and changed back to Michelin and won't consider another brand again.

I sliced the side wall open while driving on hard top on a pice of lumber at low speed. Only 12,000 K on the set. Now wether to replace two or all four as its a 4X4. Disappointing, good fuel economy and ride though. Maybe I would have better luck with AT/2? Its the sort of failure I associate with off road use.

Just bought my third set of these tires for my RAM 1500. The last set had 76,600 miles on them and still had 5/32. Each set has been great. Great handling in all types of weather and low noise. Regular tire rotation kept wear even throughout their life. Couldn't be happier.

Just had my oil changed on my GMC 3500 Duramax SRW. They were checking tire pressure and pointed out that the max tire pressure on my Michelin Defender LTX 265/70R18's on the front of my 1 Ton Truck are 44psi MAX COLD PRESSURE. The rear tires, same size, same tread pattern, same sidewall, same markings, is 80psi MAX COLD PRESSURE. Wow, the only difference i can see on the tires is three little numbers and evidently distinguish tire "rating". A great tire, this is my third set, but buyer beware that you may not be getting the appropriate tire (different speed/weight rated Defender Tires are absolutely mirror images) rated for your vehicle...MY mistake for not checking it AND Michelin's for making the tires exactly the same to the undeducated consumer. Guess that explains the blowout i had on I80 and the destroyed wheel...and thankful that after three trips from Nevada with a trailer in tow twice, once to Delaware, once to Florida, and another to Texas were without an accident...I need to go replace them before i tow my Toyhauler or Gooseneck Eqluipment Trailer again.

You replaced my LTX tires under Warranty, these fit on a 2003 ford E250 cargo van, I always got excellent mileage out of these tires includeing the ones you recalled from me, we replaced these on 239,450 miles, I have 270,418 miles on van at present and the only have 4//32 0f tire tread left, shouldn`t wore down this fast, as I keep my tires balanced and rotated every 5000 miles for life extention . they now have only 30,968 miles on them, this van is on the road and expressway frequently. just curious if this was normal mileage , your warranty states this is a 70,000 mile tire, if so I am 4/32 from being bald, thank you

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don’t hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

Have these tires due to 70K mile warranty. At 20K miles, noticed extreme wear on the front. Realized had not completed rotation. Began rotating tires, but to no avail. Tread worn completely across entire tire on 2 of them. 2 remaining tires also low on tread. Likely 10K left on those. Have bought at least 5 other sets of Michelin’s (LTX MS & LTX MS2). All lasted at least as long as the warranty. Not these. Tire dealer said nothing can be done for warranty. Pretty disappointing. These tires are not cheap.
