These are the best tires ...

These are the best tires we have ever purchased. We paid a little more for them but it was well worth it. We installed these tires on our GMC Yukon Denali when we had 20k miles on it and now at 115k miles its time to replace them. Very comfortable and quiet ride. Will definitely be purchasing these tires again.

Unbelieveable

Purchased a 5 year old sport trac with 69000 miles. It had new Michelin LTX M/S tires. At 175000 miles and 106000 miles on the tires, I am wondering if they are ever going to wear out? Light hauling, highway miles,some trailering. Great all season tire .Best I have ever owned. Thank You Michelin Man

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.

I am on my second set of these tires and I would not buy anything else. They have been the most reliable and high quality tire I have ever had on a vehicle. On both sets, I have gotten well over the estimated miles. The ride is great and I appreciate Michelin's desire to have the best product possible. Hooray for Michelin.

2 sets of LTX M/S

The LTX M/S tires are standard equipment on my 2005 GMC Envoy Denali 2WD. I am preparing to get my third set of tires for this vehicle, yet I only have 76k miles on the vehicle, which means I only get 34k miles out of these tires per set. My complaint is the tires seem soft, and I do not get the expected mileage out of these tires. I am trying to get a set of Michelin LTX AT2's but they are on a long back order. I have the LTX AT2s on both a 2009 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4, and also on a 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer 2WD. I get fabulous tire wear on these vehicles.

I had a 98 Dodge Ram extended cab and the rear never slid when starting or stopping. Also did great in 4X4m mode with extremely wet pavement and snow. No hydroplanning. Always felt like the tires were truly on the road. Now have 05 Silverado and plan to get the same tires for it.

Mounted on F350 4X4. ...

Mounted on F350 4X4. Tires now have 40,000 miles, and appear to be almost new (Hope to "get" another 40K). Ride is difficult to evaluate, with a vehicle that normally has a stiff ride, but is acceptable when such is taken into consideration. Mileage on this vehicle is never going to be comparable to any smaller vehicle , but 15 to 18 mpg on the road is reasonable with an engine of this size (7.3L). Would I purchase them again?? With no hesitation.

Building Contractor will buy these again.

As a building contractor I drive a full sized 4 wheel drive truck, GMC Sierra and pull a dump trailer and my boat occasionally. I got more than 61,000 miles out of this set even though it runs on hot Florida roads, I tend to drive a little fast and stop a little harder than perhaps I should and my truck is rarely empty.

The only tire that my family and I buy.

Michelin Tires have become the standard tire of choice for my family's vehicles. The tread wear is excellent and in fact my daughter exceeded the tire tread warranty by 15,000 mile on her Chevy Equinox. The tires ride very smooth and quiet. I have confidence in the tires whether driving in and around town or out of town vacations.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions. We hope that you will consider Michelin's as your replacement tires.
