Disappointed

I put 4 Defender LTX on my new Colorado 3 years ago. They handle good, low noise and good traction even in snow. The problem is they are almost worn out with only 57000 km on them, around 3/32"/2.5mm tread remaining. They were properly rotated. Due to the high cost, I don't know if I will buy more of these tires. Very disappointing!

I can't use enough ...

I can't use enough adjectives to describe these awesome tires! The tires I replaced were the ones I bought in 2004, which were, you guessed it...Michelins. I have never bought tires that performed the way Michelins do. I was single at the time, driving to and from work at over 70 miles per day. Thats why I bought them again. Your tires do exactly what you say they will. I'm one happy customer.

Great Tires

I recently bought four LT-MX tires for my 2011 Honda Pilot. The Honda dealer and tire dealer recommended the Latitude tire due to its smooth ride, comfort, mileage, and low noise. However, my occasional driving requires more grip, so I chose the LT-MX. My decision was largely based upon †he positive comments made by previous owners of these tires for similar vehicles and types of driving. I noticed an immediate difference in the ride from the original factory tires. The ride was smooth, steady, and not noisy at all. I plan on getting another set, when these tires are no longer serviceable.

Comfortable, quiet tires with excellent wet traction.

I have this tire on a 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE Tire is very comfortable and quiet. I like the wet and dry performance of this tire even when pushed hard. It can easily handle the 306hp the highlander has to offer during hard acceleration, braking and turning.

First 12,000 miles 4++ Stars have performed well!

Bought these Defender LTX M/S for my 14' Subaru Forester 2.5 i , upon recommendation from my local smaller dealer and research ,Is when we decided to up size from 225-60-R17 99H to 225-65-R17 102H so we could get to the Defender LTX M/S vs the Defender T+H, A great decision// for added Tire performance for traction, wet weather traction & braking, snow traction and mixed conditions in the Mid Atlantic region and into W Va travels. Only went with 4++ stars due to only 12k on a 70,000 rated tire is rerasonable and more in line of the performance thus far Yes i have lost about 1-1.5 mpg around town but the performance in handling, stopping and traction improvement locally but also on trips has been noticeable and appreciated. Also about maybe 1 mpg lost on trips has been worth it ,for all the other features we have gained by going with this size and model of Defender. The handling of our Forester has been improved from the OEM Yokahamas 2yrs 24,000 and the P7 All season Plus tires that only game me 32,600 miles for 60,000 mile tire. I rotate these tires every 6,000 miles and having put 12K on them thus far there is no wear noticed. Given the size & gross wt of our Forester SUV , lends to a lighter handling vehicle esp in mixed and snow ; we have gained better driving and performance for this type of SUV which has increased the value to us for our vehicle. I would recommend considering these tires, again I am very pleased with the greater aspect of the tires and getting into the Defender LTX M/S model I plan on updating this review when i get another 12k or on the tire Mark Va

GET MORE THAN YOUR MONEY'S WORTH !!

Great value! The ride is phenomenal! Safety and braking are very good. Peace of mind having my family members ride on these tires. Best of all.....the wear life is incredible with proper balancing and rotations! In today's world it is nice to find a value for your money. Thanks Michelin!

Good tires.

I have defenders on my pickup 1 ton pick up truck and I have a relatively heavy equipment trailer. I was on the highway when it was raining and the car ahead of me scretched to a stop. Stopped on the brakes and my truck and trailer stoped on a dime. I recommend these tires for anyone.

A great tire would buy again

I purchased these set of tires when the other tires wore out. I have them on a half ton truck. They handle grrreat and they are lasting a long time. I keep the truck well service for allingmnents and rotation of them. Hardly any wear shown on these tires.

Finally!!!

After so much research and going back and forth between different brands and different tires I always found myself coming back to this model Defender tire. Besides having the Michelin quality and safety I look for, this tire is beautiful to look at. My friend had these on his truck and I didn't know it but when I saw his truck these popped out above everything else and I knew these were for me. His opinion was they were a little rough the first week but then they were broken in. I haven't had that experience but love these. Can't wait till next month when I take them on some much needed road trips.

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.
