103,000 miles and counting

This tire came standard with my new Ford Econoline van in 2006, and are still serving well at 103,000 miles. I may replace them before winter, but there is still good tread remaining, and the sidewalls look like new! They are quiet, reliable, and good looking.

Awesome tires

Loved this product, when I put my first set on my 2003 chevy 2500 the ride was better and much quiter from the old factory tires, now I am on my second set of MS and I love them on my surburband not to mention the last set lasted 90,000 miles Travis in WV

Molding Process Not Up To Par

In the past Michelin tires have had clean side molding process. The Defender tires that I recently purchased does not have clean molding lines. One tire tire is perfect while the other three have extra rubber “flaps* around the tire side wall. Time will tell how they hold up. Maybe I’m picky but the extra molding rubber makes them look cheap.

most milage for the buck, great tire

I live in the in an area that has chip seal roads. these are the most unforgiving roads on tires. I have 2 4x4 autos. the least milage I have recevied was 21000 miles on a set of tires, not Michelin. next set when needed on my auto will be the Michelin as I know the result from using Michelin. also installed Michelin on my fathers suberu, still on after many miles and in good shape. thank you-

Michelin LTX wear like Iron

I have had these tires on my 1993 suburban, 1999 suburban and my 2005 Duramax Diesel Crew Cab Silverado pickup truck. I wouldn't put anything else on a vehicle like these. When I sold the 93 suburban the tires had 50,000 miles on them and they still looked like new. They wear like iron but give a great ride. You won't be disappointed.

Tire replacement

You replaced my LTX tires under Warranty, these fit on a 2003 ford E250 cargo van, I always got excellent mileage out of these tires includeing the ones you recalled from me, we replaced these on 239,450 miles, I have 270,418 miles on van at present and the only have 4//32 0f tire tread left, shouldn`t wore down this fast, as I keep my tires balanced and rotated every 5000 miles for life extention . they now have only 30,968 miles on them, this van is on the road and expressway frequently. just curious if this was normal mileage , your warranty states this is a 70,000 mile tire, if so I am 4/32 from being bald, thank you

These are the best tires ...

These are the best tires I have ever purchased. Ride is seamless, traction in wet or snow is excellent even when worn. Current set has over 75000 miles and are not to the wear bars yet. I will be buying another set soon. Even though tire vendors try to convince me that other cheaper tires are as good I will not be persuaded to switch.

Great ride with exceptional quality

I had the Defender LTX M/S on my truck and really liked the ride and the quality of the tire. When I needed new tires for my car it was an easy choice to make. I purchased the Defender again. I feel you that you get a quality tire that provides a quiet ride and will last for many kilometres.

Snow traction is back!

Had to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus all season tires at 28k miles. They didn’t last long. The major snowfall of the season they had me questioning my Explorer. It’s 4WD and even in the snow mode, traction wasn’t there. Braking was horrible, ABS was kicking in all the time. Felt like I was back to driving my Town Car, and even that dealt with the snow better. The Ford dealer agreed these tires were about done. Weeks later the dealer hooked me up with these tires. No more flat spots. The ride improved, quieter too. Yes I know new tires make a difference. But the old tires weren’t that old. The next snowfall was a big improvement. Traction was back, braking was confident. 1,000 miles with these tires and so far I’m sold this was a smart purchase. 6 inches of unplowed roads this morning and I felt much more confident. Driving smart of course. Cannot say how long these will last but my precious experience of these tires on a ‘99 Tahoe was favorable too. Good tires for this vehicle.

not very happy with the defender

I have purchase nothing but Michelin's for my 2001 mdx and 2005 tacoma. Always used the "lattitude tour" version and loved them. Probably went through a total of 5 or 6 sets. Now discontinued I went with the defender LTX on my tacoma. They are very noisy. I have to turn up my radeo at 35 MPH. yes, they handle great, but I can't stand the noise. Now my mom needs a set of tires for her 2013 avalanche and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
