Very planted and quiet

Have my Defenders now for just about 3000 miles on a 4Runner. Not the off-road tire, no - but for 99% of my travels, these tires are great. Smooth ride and they feel sure planted. No snow yet .... Rain driving, I didn't feel any risk or anything. They seem to react better when it was wet out. Very Happy with my purchase.

Worst tires I have owned

I purchase these at the recommendation of the local tire shop. Shortly after installation I drove a few hundred miles mostly on the highway and there was significant vibration at speeds of 65-75 mph. This made for a miserable trip. I immediately went back to have them rebalanced again when I returned home. This did not make the ride any better so they attempted a third balancing and the ride is now worse. Additionally, if I don’t drive for a few days the tires get out of round and then there is significant vibration at slow speeds until they warm up. I never had these problems with the previous two sets of tires which were also much cheaper. These are the worst tires I have ever purchased.

I had a set of these on my Chevy Blazer some years back. I kept them rotated and balanced every 5,000 miles. I got 102,000 miles out of these tires. I thought they would dry rot before I would wear them out. I only buy Michelin tires for my vehicles. If they come with some other tire when purchased new then I swap out to Michelin.

Nice tire. Horrid mileage

For my last six vehicles I’ve bought Michilens when it came time to replace originals. Nice ride and good handling. These are the same in that respect. However the mileage dropped immediately and consistently from the original tires. I am averaging 15% to 20% LOWER gas mileage since I had these put on. All that great tread is going to give me is several thousand more miles of less than optimal gas economy.

The 245 75 r 16 Michelin LTX is the best LT truck tire,you can buy,its the safest,best riding,fuel mileage,tire made,I have never had a belt sepration or even heard of one on a michelin LTX because michelin wrote the book on the steelbelted radial tire recipe! I personal have 160,000 miles on a set, of 245 75r16 and they still have safe tire tread left.

I had purchased some for my Suburban and planned to keep the vehicle until the tires wore out. The vehicle wore out before the tires did. When my tires needed to be replaced on my next vehicle I did not hesitate to replace them with Michelin. I've got almost as many miles on them as I did on the original tires and they have shown very little wear.

I had two trucks with these tires. A Dodge Ram half ton pick-up and a Ford Econoline Van. Both had above average wear with proper maintenance (I rotated and check air pressures along with wheel balancing). Comfort and handling was excellent on local streets, the highway, snow storms, you name it.

Best road tires I've ever owned

I've had the Defender series on several different vehicles. Best performing road tire I've ever had. Wet, slick, icy and light snow, the traction, stopping power and cornering is the best. I'd love to have some narley looking AT tires on my 4runner for looks but I'll never change from the Defenders, I feel safe with them on my vehicle.

In 2000 I bought a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe with 9000 miles on the clock. Apparantly the original owner didn't like the original equipment tires that came on the vehicle and had swapped them for a set of Michelins. I liked those tires very much from day one. The ride was excellent. The handling, braking, wet traction, and traction in snow were all very good. That set of tires lasted until 2009, when with about 60,000 miles on them, I figured it was time for a new set. Of course, I put on another set of Michelins. I also put a set on my wife's minivan. She loves them too.

Great Tire!

Tires wear excellent. Side walls look brand new. 68k and still tread life. Better to spend the dollars on a superior tire than save a dollar on less expensive tire that does not even compare. Ridgeline ride is great. Handles very smooth. Braking is good. Looking at moving up to Latitude for our next set of Michelin Tires. Have Michelin tires on our Honda Civic and if I can find tires we will put them on our Goldwing. Michelin makes great tires that last.
