Very Unhappy

I purchased 4 Michelin Defender Tires from a local tire dealer on 6/7/17. I drove the vehicle for a few days and noticed a vibration in the steering wheel at 60 mph and higher. I originally thought there was an issue with my vehicle but I was able to have my truck looked at by my local dealership and discovered that the problem wasn't with my vehicle but with the tires themselves. My dealership explained that I had 3 tires which were out of spec during the road force balance. I'm currently awaiting my tires to be replaced but the distributor I purchased them from is dragging their feet on the process. How can 3 out of 4 tires be bad?

On my Sierra 1500, I ...

On my Sierra 1500, I managed to get 105,000 miles out of my first set. On the second set, I achieved 85,000 on the set, but only replaced the two rear tires. The front two appeared to have 50% tread left. I drove the back two over inflated for too long after hauling a heavy load and inflating the tires to compensate. Great Tires.

Only tires I've driven past warranty.

The tires that came with new Silverado lasted about 27,000 miles. I was sorely disappointed, so I bit the bullet and bought the ltx m/s and I haven't looked back. I had owned a set of Michelins on my old car and they lasted a long time but I just wasn't sure how well the truck tires would do and they were pricey. I'm not off roading, just hwy miles but I managed to make those babies last PAST the 80,000 mile warranty. So I figure I actually saved money by not replacing cheap tires 2 or 3 times. They have a smooth ride and are much better than the old ones on water. Snow and ice... not so much. But we only have a few days of nasty winter weather so I can live with that. I love these tires. Now on my second set.

For small RV

I have these on my 2006 Winnebago View motor home, this is the second set the first set had great tread after close to 60K miles but time of about six years is the reason I got the new ones, there was some cracking nothing major. I feel these are the best tires I have ever owned.

Good, but not great

I purchased the tire set for a 2007 tundra, got about 5 years and 23000 miles and there is a decent amount of cracking and tread wear (enough to replace them). Far from the 70000 mile warranty. They were regularly rotated and taken care of, expected more from a higher priced and rated tire.

Michelin, the only way to ride

This LTX M/S tire is on my Explorer that is driven daily. I have had several vehicles without Michelin tires and other tires Do Not have the comfortable ride that the Michelin's do. The ride is smooth, quiet, and long lasting tread when tires are maintenance regularly,( inflation, rotation, ect. ) The only negative thing I can say is I wish I could get double the mileage out of the Michelin, as right now I am pushing well over 70,000 miles on this set of MTX M/S.

Absolutely Love These Tires!

Everything dealer told me they would be. Ride better than Lattitude Tours that were original, got 65k wear out of those, however these ride great, way better, very noticeable and smoother, quieter, ride like a dream! No complaints, my 5th or 6th pair of new Michelins, these are brand new line, they rock! Feel great about my decision, very happy.

Not impressive

It's a month and I am not impressed. I switched from Michelin Premiere which were very nice. Essentially it's like switching from nice and smooth ride to one in which you feel every vibration and bump on steering wheel. 1. The tires are louder than expected based on reviews. 2. I keep feeling vibration, even at very low speeds. The person in tire place checked and says everything looks right. It started with tire change so it is definitely tires not anything else in car. So this is definitely not comfortable drive tire. Probably good for trucks, but not other cars.

I have this tire on both ...

I have this tire on both of my trucks (10 tires between them and I'm not counting spares!) I get excellent wear, as a matter of fact, the last set that I used up got over 100,000 miles on them. The set before that I replaced prematurely at 90,000 miles. Both sets still had street legal tread depth. The tires offer a good, smooth ride that is quiet. I have never had any slipping during wet cornering. All these reasons contribute to the fact that ALL three of my vehicles have Michelins!

Greastest Tire Ever

I have 2005 Colorado pickup and I bought the LTX MS tires for it. I thought I was going to have to bury the truck with these tires on it. They lasted for 110000 miles and look good when I replaced them. Of coarse I replaced them with LTX MS tire and when ask why I bought Michelins again I responded by telling them (didn't you hear me I had 110000 miles. Yes they cost a little more but I could buy 1 set of LTX instead of 2 sets of another brand. In fact the old set is still being use on a Farm trailer. and still look good.
