I bought a truck that had been parked for awhile and needed tires. It had 65,000 miles on it. I knew I wanted Michelins based on the reputation of their tires. I had Michelins put on the truck and it now has 130,412 miles on it with the same tires and I really don't need to replace them yet! I have not had a flat tire or any other problem with them. I will replace them soon just for safety but I will definitely replace them with Michelins. In fact, as long as I'm driving, my vehicle will have nothing but Michelins on it. I feel very safe knowing that's what is on my vehicle and in my opinion, they are the best tire available.

What an improvement

I purchased the Defenders to replace a set of Wrangler tires that still had a lot of tread left. Before purchasing the new tires the wheels would spin if there was any moisture on the road. The improvement has been amazing. This is for a 2009 Ford Ranger that is used in the city (not off road) as a second vehicle to often move lumber and/or top soil and yard waste.

Excellent Quality and Ride

The Michelin Defender LTX are great quality tires and have a luxury ride. I have purchased my second set of these tires. The first set had almost 100,000 miles on them and still were in usable condition. I highly recommend these tires for high mileage and smooth ride.

Really Great Road tires for a truck/suv

2018 Frontier PRo-4x. Replaced OEM tires with these since i am not a true off roader, and mainly on highway. I picked up 2mpg+ with these. Rolling resistance is awesome, stopping ,and more importantly cornering is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better. Great road Manners. Slightly stiffer than the softwall off road tires i had. But these work just nice. not to mention, they can go to 80psi???? WOW... NOT that iw ould do that. My first set was bad, the dealer did a warranty claim, and as soon as i rolled out i knew right away how great these were. Makes the truck more of a nice commuter truck now, with the ability to "trucK" when needed. I really do enjoy these, and the improved gas mileage is with the AC on all the time soo, so perhaps 3mpg or so improvement.... This replacement set used way less weights, and again these tires really do look so nice. Gives the truck an upscale "gentlemans" look if you get my point. GREAT road manners, it's still a truck, but GREAT road manner improvements.

Michelin Tires Exceed Mileage Projection

I always purchase Michelin tires because of their extensive life and mileage performance. My last set of tires on a Ford Explorer lasted for over ten years and 100,000 miles. My current set of Michelin tires of all weather tires are over five years old and have over 60,000 miles.

Smooth Sailing

These are my first Michelins and I'm glad that I decided to make the investment. I live in New England and we received the obligatory late spring snow storm so I had the opportunity to test these tired in slippery conditions and they performed beautifully. I suddenly felt glued to the road regardless of the driving conditions. I also noticed an immediate difference in the quiet comfortable ride I had been missing from my vehicle all along. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra for these tires. They have changed my opinion on how much tires can make a difference in your ride.

In 2002 I purchased a 1995 Suburban 2500 series with a diesel engine. I soon put on a set of 275-16 LTX Michelin tires. I now have 112,000 miles on these tires and there is still tread left. I will be getting new ones before long, but what is ironic, is that the lady that I purchased the Suburban from said that the reason she was selling it was because it wore out tires so quickly. I'm sure that a lot of the longivity can be attributed to driving habits, but the Michelin tires have performed exceptionally as well.

Best Michelin tire I've had yet!

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.

Smooth ride

Picked up a 2019 Nissan Titan pickup with Goodyear tires, after one highway trip I noticed a slight vibration at 65 mph. Thought about it for about one second and had my local tire shop order me a set of defender 275/20’s. The tires are 33 inch anyway put on Michelin’s and the truck is as smooth as silk. Good thing there is a tire company that can make a big tire with some precision. Another happy customer

Michelin is King

I have been an RV enthusiast for many years. Over time, I have tried several brands of tires for my GMC 2500HD tow vehicle. I am now on my third set of Michelins. I have found Michelin tires carry the heavy load of my 5th wheel trailer extremely well. Handling is excellent and road noise is the lowest I have found in a mud and snow type tire. Michelins give me a sense of safety because they have proven to be trouble free over the life of the tire. I use Michelins on all of my vehicles including heavy duty tires with highway tread for my 5th wheel. My only complaint might be that I do not get quite the mileage for tread wear that is advertised. I'm sure this is partly because of the heavy load I carry. The rear tires wear fastest so rotations must be performed regularly. I usually buy new tires when the tread depth is about 4/32nd of an inch and that is about 45,000 miles. I've never found a tire that comes close to Michelin performance and always recommend them to family and friends.
