I have a Lexus RX 450h AWD, which used to have Goodyear Assurance TripleTred tires on it. They provided great wet traction, but at the cost of ride and noise. I just installed Michelin Premier LTX 235/55R19s and the change is amazing. Now the only noise I hear is the wind noise - no road noise at all. The ride has upgraded to the smoothness of a luxury sedan - it really feels like a different, better car. Right out of the shop I got to drive home in a rainstorm, and I do not think I have given up anything in wet traction, and the road feel is still solid. I cannot speak to snow/ice performance, but my conclusion right now is - Buy these!

Michelin rates my size as having 8.5/32 depth when this tire is new. Mine measured at 9/32. I have 8,100 miles on these tires, alignment is perfect, the vehicle is new, and 80% of this mileage was over-the-road on interstates. Now, they are reading just a tiny fraction more than 6/32. That is just not acceptable. Another thing: If you travel rough-grain blacktop - for example I-10 in Arizona, or I-17 from I-10 to Phoenix, the noise will drive you out of the car. On concrete surfaces, you can judge your speed by the pitch of the whine, B-flat, 55; B, 60; C, 65, C# 70; D you'll get a ticket. My luck with Michelin Defenders, but in auto and SUV sizes, was amazingly good, so I will go back to those unless I buy another brand.

I bought 4 of these tires barely two years ago in July of 2018. Three months ago I was told they will not pass inspection because of low tire tread on ALL 4 tires. My receipt shows I was at 88k miles when they put the tires on and I was only at 115k miles when the dealership where I bought these said they were bad. So the tread did not last past 27k and I'm driving my 3 kids around in worn out tires. Not safe. My inspection is due this month and now I have to replace all four tires to pass. Aweful.

These tires came on my wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee. With the pandemic and working from home, I can't speak to the tire life. I will state that they are quiet and grip well on drive pavement. They are okay on wet pavement. And, unfortunately, they are TERRIBLE in snow and icy conditions. I bought winter tires for her Jeep. Night and day difference when driving in winter. I don't recommend them.

I bought these because I had defenders on my 2012 Prius and I am truly getting 100,000 miles of treadlife out of them. These tires are bald at 25,000. I thought I was becoming a Michelin Man but will hesitate to buy another set because of the premium price.

I purchased a new Lexus rx350 in 2019 and it came with these tires. I was really happy because I've always had good luck with Michelin tires. That being said I just took my car in for an oil change and was informed I need all new tires. My car has less than 26k miles, has always beeen stored in a garage and I live in California where I do not drive in snow. I also rotated the tires with every oil change. The tread life is less than half of what was included in the warranty and should not need replacing this early in their life. Not a good product and I see based on scrolling through reviews that this is a pretty common occurrence.

I bought a set of these tires 2 1/2 years ago, and with only 22k miles on them, my Audi dealer just told me I need to replace them before winter, as the tread is down to a 4. I really liked the tires until today. Michelin rates them at 60k miles - and prices them accordingly. Had I known the real lifespan was just over 20k I would have never purchased them.

I leased a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee with these tires rotated at each oil change interval as the dealership records would reflect and @ 32,000 miles I was recently told by the dealership a set of four new tires was needed. I have had several Jeep Grand Cherokees and have always had and loved Michelin brand tires but these tires do not meet my satisfaction or come close to the 60,000 miles suggested tread life. Very disappointed with these tires.

I loved this tire when it was new. But I didn't get 3 full winters out of it despite driving less than 10K miles a year. Mazda CX9 AWD, driven gently, alignment and tie rods done around the time they were installed, and rotated several times. These were the top rated 3-4 years ago, now I'm looking for something better, or if it can't be better, maybe not as expensive. Ugh!

I really have no complaints about these tires. I glide through deep puddles of water as if they are parting the sea, and when driving through the snow it's almost as if they're digging the snow out of the way as I drive. The stability in driving through both of those elements is out of this world to me; yet again these tires and the Jeep Grand Cherokee were made for eachother - literally and figuratively! They work together really well, and I feel safe behind the wheel not only because the Jeep's stable build, but because of the stablility and solidity in the tires as well. I feel firmly planted to the ground in all driving conditions, plus through sharp curves. They're super quiet as well, which is another quality I rank pretty high on my list. I gave the Overall Rating four-stars only because the tread life lasted me 41k miles after tire rotations every three months consistently; however, it is mentioned on numerous tire review websites that the downfall is they do not hold up to their mileage guarantee - so I know what I'm getting myself into there. While I understand the cost is high for that feature to fall short, I am still okay with paying the high cost because all of the other features are more important to me. I will gladly pay for great handling, stability, hydroplane protection, comfort and quietness.
