2 year review on michelim defender

I had Michelin Defender tires for 2 years. They were awesome! These tires really stuck to the road, and I felt safe even when it rained. They hardly wore out, so I didn't have to buy new ones. It was like having a reliable friend on the road. I'll definitely get them again. Great tires!

Should I be happy with the mileage (over 90K miles)?

I bought these tires (LT265/75R16) several years ago for my Nissan Frontier after the factory originals wore out after about 40K miles. I currently have almost 100K miles on these and they are just now telling me that I need to think about replacing them. I am planning on keeping my truck (only 140K miles on it) so I am looking for the same model tire.

Buying Another Set!

2015 F-150 XLT SuperCab. Photos are of the tires 4 years and 80,250 miles later. Rotated them with every other oil change. They would probably go another 10,000! Driven in snow, heavy rain, construction sites, and have pulled trailers. Even wear, quiet, and great in rain and during quick braking. Buying another set this week.

Second Try with Michelin

I purchased the predecessor (Non Defender) LTX M/S tires about 2.5 years ago. Warranty was for 70,000 miles but I only made it to 47,000 miles and was at or below the wear bars. Tires were rotated and balanced every 7500 miles. I did get credit back for the shortfall in mileage and now have the Defender tires on my truck. Hopefully this time they will make it to the 70K. Pretty disappointed in the fact that my first set of Michelin's did so poorly. Truck is just a daily driver not used for work. Tires performed well but 47K is not even close to the warranty.

Extremely Dissappointed in Michelin Defender

I bought these tires in 2021 and after 31,000 miles on an 70,000 mile warranty tire, they needed to be replaced. The worse part is that all 4 tires should have been replaced under warranty, but only 2 were replaced. I was very disappointed in my Michelin purchase.

Great traction in all sorts of weather

I bought the Michelin Defender tires to replace the Michelin tires that came on my 2019 Ford F150 truck. The new tires have excellent traction and stability dealing with all kinds of road conditions. Like the original set, the new Michelin tires are the most quiet truck tires I've ever had, with absolutely no road whine. When the time comes, I'll definitely look at Michelin first.

Great Tires!

I've only had these tires for two months. So far, they are excellent in all aspects. No noise! They look great! They provide a smooth ride! This is the fifth set of Michelin tires for my truck and so far I have never gone wrong with staying with Michelin. Worth the money

Great all around tire.

I’ve had these tires for 10,000 miles now. I commute daily 40 miles and use my truck for construction as my side business. I’ve had well over 14k with trailer and equipment for on these tires for well over 2000 of those miles and these tires have shown little to no wear. Obviously, they don’t have the aggressive tread of other tires but I have gotten around muddy and clay job sites fine. I always use my truck around our farm daily and haven’t gotten stuck in my pastures. After running over 20 different brands and treads of tires these are the best of all worlds for highway, work, and farm chores. If you’re feeding cows daily in heavy mud I would get a mud terrain tire as my other truck that never hits the highway has, but these are good on your primary rig. Highway driving us superior with the Michelins. Minor, ever so slight noise at higher speeds, but infinitely quieter than any AT I have ever ran. I would go rock crawling with these tires, but great for daily use. I bought 10 ply.

Smooth and quiet ride all around.

I purchased my Michelin Defender tires for my 2020 Ford Edge a little over a year ago. We had a couple of road trips on the new tires and the Defender gives a very smooth and quiet ride. The Defender LTX tires performed very well through winter as well. I would definitely recommend Michelin Defender LTX tires to anyone in need of tires.

Disappointed

When I originally purchased my truck it had the LTX MS. They lasted a total of two years and about 35000k when they were so weather cracked I was afraid of them blowing. As the truck was 2 years old had them replaced under warranty. Three years later and 45000k, again they were weather cracked. As they no longer make the straight LTX , I had to have them replaced with the defender LTX MS. They pick up stones like no ones business. If it wasn’t for the mud flaps I would be repainting the bottom half of the truck. A terrible amount of road noise to boot. They do perform almost as well in winter , but not as well as the original LTX. These tires have been on a year, and if I have to replace them again in a year or two, I may be navigating out of the Michelin line..
