Michelin Defender LTX's on 1 Ton SRW GMC Denali Diesel

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.

I've used Michelin tires ...

I've used Michelin tires on most of my vehicles over quite a few years (1st was a 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado). I've been using the LTX M/S on all my SUV's since 1989. The one thing that sets these tires apart from others of similar design is the tread life. There really nothing I didn't like about this tire. Good in snow and good in wet conditions. Quiet on the highway. In fact, I have recommended this tire to several of my relatives and friends.

Best driving characteristics; best value

I just returned from a trip in my Ford F150 from Strathroy Canada to Dallas Texas towing a 7000# trailer and I am more than happy with the control I felt from these tires. Each truck I have bought came with different tires, but when the trucks needed new tires, they were always Michelin.

Best light truck general purpose tire available

I have had 5+ sets of these on 2 different suburbans, 1) f150 std cab longbox, 1) Chevrolet dually cab-chassis with dump and snow-plow, and now on my '14 Superduty Kingranch. If my continued patronage of this specific tire doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what..I am in Wisconsin, and snow and ice traction are important. These tires are excellent in snow and ice, without quick wear like a winter tire 80k/set. Ride comfort is outstanding. I replaced the Michelin AT tires with these on the superduty, and they are 10 times better for traction and comfort. If you are wondering if these tires are worth the extra money, they absolutely are!

100,000 Miles!!!

Bought my Honda Ridgeling new with this tire on it in 2006. Bought my first set of replacements last week after putting 100,000 miles on the original set! Incredible as that may sound they could have kept going!!! South Texas can be really hard on tires but these stood up like a champ. I'm not the type of person that would write a review on a product (first time) but this was just amazing and i have to send a thanks to Michelin. You made a believer out of me.

These tires are excellent ...

These tires are excellent on wet roads and in snow and ice and wear very well. This is hard to beat for skiing and wet conditions. Handling is also good. They do ride a little rougher than the original passenger tires but I consider this an excellent trade off.

Disappointed

My first set of Michelins ( I am 62 yrs old ) Defender LTX M/S. Everything was great around town and local roads. Then I took a trip to Los Angeles. The rain grooves cut in the freeway caused this model tire to wander and follow the grooves. This was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was constant steering wheel adjustments. I guess the wrong tire for my truck.

"WHAT CHALLANGE, BRING IT ON!"

Simply put, the ride is exceptional, great performance, tracking, steering road conditions, tire treadlife. Only downfall is the white outline tires. The way your bonding process is? ( i WAS TOLD THIS BY YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) SEE ANY HISTORY, warranty adjustments/ claims...). Had sidewall cracking. Not sure if this could pose a danger, did not want to take that chance. Hoping you would solve this issue, I PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR SIDELINES B.F. GOODRICH, hoping by the time I had to replace them and come back to these tires, this problem would be solved. Currently watching this...

Worst riding tire ever

Have used Michelin tires for years and always loved them. Put this tire on a 2014 1500 RAM and they are the worst riding tires I have ever had. I am taking them off and putting on a different brand because I can' stand the ride any longer. My 9 year grand son even asked why the truck rode so bad.

I live in northern Maine ...

I live in northern Maine and installed these on my Jeep Wrangler in late summer. The interstate up here has some very deep grooves in the road and hydroplaning is an issue in even moderate rain. The tires performed very well going through the pooled water on the roadway as I never felt any loss of traction with the road surface. Winter is just starting but for the first couple of storms and icy conditions that were left behind the tires again performed well. I already have about 8,000 miles on them and they are wearing just fine so far. I would definitely purchase these again.
