These tires have performed well!

I knew the Michelin name and respected the value and legacy. These tires have performed above my expectations and then some! They show little wear after 20k and will last well into the 50k mile mark. I would recommend Michelin as the last tire you will ever buy. These are my first set, and I am very pleased!

ROAD NOISE

I am a big Michelin tire fan I think they are great tires until I bought these tires they were great for the first 3,000 miles but then it started the ROAD NOISE ! it drives me crazy. I bought them for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland it was the worst thing that I could have done. They hold the road great in all types of weather but the noise drives me crazy.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

Thanks for the honest feedback. Sounds like you’ve been taking great care of your tires, so we totally get your frustration. The Defender LTX M/S is designed for long-lasting traction, but performance can vary depending on wear, road conditions, and vehicle setup. We’d recommend having a local dealer take a look to see what’s going on. And if you want to chat with us directly, feel free to call 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) —we’re happy to help!

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.

Great tires! Great decision!

Knew what to expect. Went with what came on vehicle and I am glad I did. Quiet ride and and makes vehicle handle great. Without a doubt, Michelin makes the best tire. May be less expensive tire available, but you will not be sorry for choosing Michelin.

LTX/MS Michelin Tire

I purchased 4 tires in March 2009 and it is now August 2013...almost 4 1/2 years ago. My tires still look new. I have gone almost 55,000 miles and they are still good tires. The treads are still good. I have always bought Michelin. They are the best tires for the money.

I have loaded over twice the recommended capasity in my 2500 ram on numerious occassions. When I changed out the first factory set of Michelin's, they had over 85,000 miles with out a problem. My second set suffered the same treatment and were changed out when the odometer hit 180,000, without a dought these are best set of tires I've ever owned,

The vehicle that the ...

The vehicle that the tires are used on is primarily my wife's car. She is a nurse who works the night shift (12hrs) and drives at night and in the early morning hours. My chief priorty is for her safety which I believe is provided through the great road handling abilities of the Michelin tires. In Oregon during the winter months we have a substantial amount of rain and the Michelin tires are designed to easily disperse the water off the edge of the tires. Because of this safety feature there is less likelihood of hydroplaning, especially when it is dark out and you can't see the standing water on the freeway or surface streets. Also because of this design feature, it eleminates the necessity of going to the additional expense of having the tire sipped. There was also a noticeable difference in the handling and performance of the Michelin tires. For safety, performance, and comfort you won't find a better tire in the industry. Period!

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 club cab and still have the original tires on it. I have been rotating them as well as replacing them for winter driving with a more aggressive winter tire. I am truly impressed with the tread wear as it seems I will have many more years to keep these tires for my truck. I have 113,500 miles on my truck with approx. 75,000 on these tires. I am also impressed that there are no signs of weathering or checking in the sidewalls. Great job on the compounds used and or the quality of the rubber.

Noisy Tires

Bought a set of Defender LTX M/S tires about 6 months ago. When I first drove with them I noticed that they were very noisy. Had them rotated and balanced at 6000 miles. I discussed the noise problem with the dealer and he had a technician drive my vehicle after the tires were rotated. The technician said the tires sounded quiet to him. I had him ride with me and he said he could hear the tire noise but considered them to be quiet, "quieter than most". I have never had tires this noisy. I would not recommend these tires if you want a quiet ride.
