C'mon Michelin.....You can do better!!!

Always enjoyed Michelin tires. An avid fan...Live in So Cal. Have a bought new 2015 Ram 2wd std cab, 6'4" bed truck. Installed a new set (4) of the 275/60-20 Defender LTXs @ 39,241 miles in June 2017...... Excellent handling, very low tire noise at all speeds and outstanding performance in wet weather. Tires have been rotated every 6K to 8K miles in a figure 8 pattern. 90 + % of the total miles are highway miles. Proper air pressure always maintained along with no alignment issues. Tires wearing evenly across the entire tread width.......Now have 71,050 miles on the truck. and a total of 31,809 miles of these Michelins. One of the tires has a center tread depth of 5/32 remaining while the other three have 6/32nds of remaining tread. Surely not going to come close to the 70K mile expected tread life for this tire. Might get 50K to 55K miles.......From other review blogs I have read, pre-mature tread life seems to be a common complaint for this particular Michelin tire, while a very few do get their nearly 70K and over 70K miles.....This means that the rubber compounds mixed during manufacture are not consistently durable enough. More durable compound mixture is needed.....C'mon Michelin. You can do better......I do not want to go with another tire brand.

Quiet, comfortable and capable tire

I recently put these on my 2015 Grand Cherokee and so far, they are great. Prior to these, I had the Latitude Tours, which I loved. These have a more aggressive looking tread pattern, and initially, I was a bit concerned they would have increased road noise, or compromise the comfort of the ride, but I have to say I am impressed - they are as good in those respects as the Latitude. These appear to be a more capable tire in snow and mud and I am looking forward to taking them through a Minnesota Winter. Recommmended!

Best Tire In Its Class

Compared to other models that are similar to this tire it far exceeds its expectations. The quality and mileage you get out of these tires far exceed the cost. Compared to the other brands out there Michelin Tires are #1. Will never purchase another brand of tire for any of my vehicles! I have and will continue to recommend this brand of tire to friends and anyone who asks for an opinion.

Excellent on road ...

Excellent on road manners...my 92 Jeep xj feels new again! Yes a bit more expensive up front, but wear pays for the extra expense...they wear like iron...I have Michelins on my work truck as well. My wife's Passat is also ready for some new rubber...she got 65k out of the last pair of Micheline MXV4 Pilots and I can probably wait till spring, but with winter coming, I am going to replace them...with Michelines of course!

Awesome

We put in a lot of driving and what's most important is the smooth and quiet ride we receive from Michelin tires. The tires wear more evenly than most tires on the market. I have to say, the previous Michelin tires (same brand) gave us a longer life; same driving pleasure, but wore out sooner.

Do not buy this tire

Bought these tires in 2008 for my 2000 4runner Limited. Was told that I could easily get over 60,000 miles. Now in 2012, I have to buy new tires, after 37,400 miles. Proper maintenance was done to the tires by the warehouse where they were purchased. Warehouse where I purchased the tires is, again, telling me that the new Michelin LTX M/S2 is very much improved. I do not know if I can trust Michelin or the warehouse where I bought them.

Wow

Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.

Best tires in the market

Michelin tires are so reliable that my husband and I won't buy any other brand for our vehicles. They make the ride smooth and perform with excellence on wet roads. Here in Florida, the roads can turn treacherous at times due the so called "Florida ice", but we are confident our Michelin tires will always keep us safe. We recommend these tires for their quality, durability, and reliability. Thank you Michelin tires!!!!

Excellent tires

Tires have been on this vehicle for two weeks tops. first bad ice/snow storm we got 2/4/2022 upstate ny. WOW this vehicle performed 110% didn't slide all over even when I tried to make it loose traction, last month we had snow and I was running the stock Bridgestone dueler tires that came with the vehicle. What a joke them tires are. If Michelin continue to make these tires my 2022 highlander will soon get a brand new pair of defenders LTX m/s. I'm probably just going to remove the Goodyear tires that came with the vehicle. Great job Michelin..

I'm 69 and have used ...

I'm 69 and have used Michelins exclusively for as long as I can remember. We have 2 vehicles, a1996 Ford F-150 and a 1997 Ford Expedition. These vehicles have a combined mileage of close to 400,000 and have been Michelin equipped since new. The tires wear like iron and yet offer an extremely comfortable and quiet ride, providing superior wet weather driveability.
