Smooth ride

I just drove a couple thousand miles on my new Michelin Defenders. Some of the ride was on I-40, perhaps the worst interstate in the system. But the tires smoothed the ride as much as could be expected. I wish all the money from hiway taxes went into roads for cars instead of bike lanes and squirrel sanctuaries.

Worth the cost

When I bought my '01 Tahoe in '07 it had 163K miles. It had LTX/MS all the way around but 2 were worn and 2 were only half worn. I replaced the worn ones and just this year replaced them again with around 255K miles on the truck. I have never had a tire last as long and wear as evenly and drive as well as these! I was hesitant to replace these at first, but I am so glad I did. I have bought a lot of tires over the years, but always considered Michelin to be too expensive. If they last as long as they are supposed to, they are well worth it. The other 2 on the truck were replaced about 50K ago and still have plenty of life. I have no doubt that they will also get to that 90K mark with no problem.

Smooth Ridgeline
5 out of 5 stars review

Best Tires EVER Owned

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

Much improved ride

Needed new tires for my 2018 Honda CR-V and wanted to improve the ride quality. These tires nailed it! Much improved in both the ride handling, smoothness, and lower road noise inside the vehicle. Also simply feels more sure-footed in the rain. Looking forward to seeing a difference in winter snow.

Simply the best

LTX A/T2 LOAD RANGE E; IS THE BEST TIRE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I have had them on my Chevy Duramax for 3 month's now with over 3,000 miles on them. At first i thought that they mite have some road hum to them, I WAS WRONG. There is none! I use my truck for a lot of thing's _towing_{up to a 32 ft. in closed car trailer}_snow plowing_,and hauling just about any thing.They have excellent traction+ stopping in rain, snow, and even ice. I have not lost any fuel consumption at all, and they ride excellent---- Things that are not great ?---" NOTHING"--- : JUST THE BEST:

Safety is #1

Safety is #1 I like the way I feel safer driving in all road conditions with my Michelin Defender tires on my vehicle. Also, the ride is much smoother on any of those road condition I drive on. I think they will last a long time. My last Michelin tires lasted 13 years!!

Rugged deep threaded tire

Bought these tires about 3 years ago. I have put on 30,000 miles and more. These tires look brand new yet and have lots of tread left. They seem to last alot longer then other tires and I would recomend these over all others. I will buy these again if they every wear out.

I mounted these tires on ...

I mounted these tires on a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. The ride is incredibly smooth. I have been a loyal Michelin customer for just about as long as I have been buying tires. These tires provide the ride and durability I have come to expect from the Michelin Man.

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!

Great tires

I bought my latest set of these Michelin tires about six months ago and they are as I expected them to be, quiet, smooth riding and showing very little tread wear. They have trouble free as well, but this is not a surprise to me, as I have had several sets of Michelins over the years. They are my go to brand of tires for sure. Trouble free and outstanding wear performance. Highly recommended if you are looking for the same. I will buy again without any hesitation for sure.
