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.

Thr best tires I've had on a vehicle

Chevrolet put these on when two sets of the tires that came on the vehicle when new failed at 7000 miles. Have had them on now for nearly 97,000 miles just ordered another set for my Chevrolet High Country Silverado. Ride is superior to any make of tire I've had, durability is unsurpassed as you can see by the milage and handeling is great, especially on wet roads, don't know if you can get them to hydroplane in wet conditions. They lack a little in snow and ice but preform well if you just slow down like you should do anyway! Had only 1 flat in all the miles driven. Great security for my wife and I! Keep up the good work Michelin!!!

My First Michelin's

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.

outstanding tire that keeps going& going

We got our first set on a used vehicle, we drove it all the time in all kinds of weather and had no issues! The tires we had on our other vehicles were wearing out and dry rotted within the 1st year of having them. We were replacing them all the time and theses Michelin tires kept on going and going like the energizer bunny. So we said enough is enough and we replaced the rest of the cars with Michelin tires too. Lets just say the tires out lived the cars. So now that is the only tire we look at and will buy. And we will make sure our kids do the samething. So what ever you are putting in that tire Michelin don't change a thing, it is perfect.

New tires, let's roll..

Just replaced Yokohama tires with 64,000 on tires, dealers mentioned that they no longer carry them so he suggested the Michelins Defender LTX MS for my suburban. Now let's see how they perform on the highway, pulling cars to shows in this desert climate. Looks nice brings back that OEM look to the unit. Now had a fair experience with prior warranty on tread life, let's see how this round goes..

Beyond awesome mileage.

Bought these tires almost six years ago to put on my Tundra. Purchased a new 2016 Silverado and had the Defenders removed from the Tundra and put on the Silverado with 1,000 miles already on them. Put the new Wranglers on the trade in Tundra. I drive a lot. Fast forward to 2021 and 179,000 miles on the Defenders and still going strong. Awesome ride and quite. Tread gauge now reads 1/4 inch on all tires. Unbelievable! Considering buying new Defenders but tempted to see how far I can go on this set.

Smooth

Recommend by a coworker who has them. I'm very happy with my purchase, smooth ride, excellent grip and they supposedly last many miles. Just drove them on our first Wisconsin slippery winter conditions for the season and my new Michelin Defenders handled it great.

Great Value!

I replaced the factory tires at 25,000 miles and they are going strong with plenty of life left after 70,000. I definitely will be buying Michelin again when I replace the tires on this truck and the Michelins on our second car. Great traction in year round driving and quiet ride.

Awesome Tire for all around use

I've changed the tires that came w/ my Honda Pilot to the LTX M/S. We drive onto the beach in DE, w/ 6 other families. We all have these tires. From my stand point; there are 2 big pluses I have seen. When driving onto the beach I only have to drop the pressure down to 25 psi and most of the time I don't have to drive in 4x4. The second feature is the way these tire handle in the wet weather, one word AWESOME! I would recommend thses to a friend, because friends have highly recommened them to me.

After 15 years of ...

After 15 years of "Michelin only", thinking I should be more frugal, I ran through two sets of a competitor's brand, never coming close to Michelin's performance or longevity! Before leaving for our summer vacation '10, I put a full set on our all-wheel drive SUV, and the difference was AMAZING ... driving was a pleasure, like a million little fingers were gripping the road as we drove cross-country through Virginia's scenic highways ... the ride was far more comforatble, and fuel economy actually increased! My earlier Michelin sets had always had good tread up to the milage forecast ... not so with "brands X" ... I'm so glad to be back in safe hands ... clearly, my Michelin tires are still the best investment I can make for my family's transportation.
