This set of tires is on a Ford Explorer. They are wearing exceptionally well, and are quiet on the road. Based on the tread depth left, I should get approximately 90,000 miles on this set. I have Michelin Tires on all of my vehicles and would not use any other brand of tires. I have been buying Michelin tires for over 25 years, and I have never been dissatisfied.

Very good wet and dry traction. Great braking and roadholding and handling until the tread is literally gone. Good tread life, but not what I might have expected for the price and considering the vehicle is a midsize SUV that is driven mostly by my wife. The vehicle tended to wander more at low to medium speeds with these tires than with the previous (OEM) set, but that wasn't noticeable at highway speeds. They are very quiet and smooth for a light truck tire with an M/S rating and a rather agressive tread profile.

Ran these tires on our 3/4 ton pickup towing our 5th wheel trailer for 7 years. In that time we never had any issues with these tires. They ran great in the rain and in the 100+ degree days we have in the summer. I just replaced them with an identical set.

My first set of Michelins weren't purchased by me new. I traded for a used Ford Bronco that had a set of MTX's on it that had 60,000 miles already on the tires. They were still in great shape and I decided to drive on them until I needed new tires. Well, I drove the wheels off of that Bronco and even after I put another 60,000 miles on the Michelins I was amazed that they were still in pretty good shape. Since then, I have always bought Michelins. They may cost a little extra when purchased but they will outlast two sets of the other national brands. Now I tell all my friends, "Forget the rest, buy the Michelins!"

I trust my 4WD Jeep and our lives to our Michelin Tires. In all kinds of weather and road conditions, I have found none any better. The smooth, quiet ride and excellent mileage without having flats are specifics that are important to us. We have no complaints because we chose Michelin as the best and they are!

I have these tires on a 2500 Dodge Ram 4X4 pickup and this truck rides as smooth on these tires as any car or van. The tires wear good too. This is the 2nd set of these tires that I have had on my truck and it is a 2003 truck. This set has been on the truck for about 2 years and they look as good as they did new. I love Michelin tires.

i bought 2 245/65 17 Defender M/S tires to replace the ones i had on my pickup. I had at least 70,000 miles on the old ones. With the new Defenders my ride has been excellent and I expect the wear will be the same as the old ones. Alignment has been completed regularly and rotated ever 5000 miles.

Are there cheaper tires you can buy? Sure. But the smooth, quiet ride you get (especially in an SUV) with these tires, makes all the difference. My tire dealer actually tried to offer me a cheaper tire, but I've had the others - there is no comparison.

For past several years I have used Michelin Tires on my vehicles with the latest being installed on a 2008 2500 Dodge Diesel Pickup. Previous Michelin Tires on this vehicle had 59K miles on them and only replaced due to weather cracks appearing on side walls. Tires were five years old with vehicle stored in sun and would estimate tread had another 15,000 miles on them. Only replaced due to cracks and I pull a fifth wheel on a regular basis. Have recommended these tires to several friends and most have purchased them. Highly recommend them to anyone for any vehicle.

I purchased a set of Michelin Defender LTX for my wife's Lincoln today... Wow, What a difference from the OEM Pirelli's that came on it new.. We commented many times about how disappointed we were with all the road noise this Lincoln had.. Little did we know it was the Pirelli's. After two sets of them I wanted to try something else and low and behold, the New Michelin's did the trick. The road noise from the car is sooo much quieter now. I wont be putting Pirelli's back on this car again!
