2014 Charger that came with Pilot MXM4's which are excellent. Decided to go with a long lasting tire since she has surpassed 120k. The defender has a bit more cushion than the MXM4 and the Pilot Sports I've also had. Great highway ride and strong handling attributes even compared with the sportier tire.

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.

Now on my second set of P265/70/R16 Defender M/S tires (in a month) and they are horribly rough riding (as were the first set). Thought there might be something wrong with my vehicle since the Michelins I took off (Latitudes) were great riding tires, so, I changed all rotors, pads, all the front and rear suspension, two different sets of shocks, tie rod ends, idler arm and bracket, etc. to no avail. The first set of Defenders were balanced 4 times before the tire shop finally changed them out for a different set. I am extremely unhappy with these tires, as is the wife. And as everyone knows, when the wife is not happy, everyone is unhappy.

Bought these Defender LTX M/S for my 14' Subaru Forester 2.5 i , upon recommendation from my local smaller dealer and research ,Is when we decided to up size from 225-60-R17 99H to 225-65-R17 102H so we could get to the Defender LTX M/S vs the Defender T+H, A great decision// for added Tire performance for traction, wet weather traction & braking, snow traction and mixed conditions in the Mid Atlantic region and into W Va travels. Only went with 4++ stars due to only 12k on a 70,000 rated tire is rerasonable and more in line of the performance thus far Yes i have lost about 1-1.5 mpg around town but the performance in handling, stopping and traction improvement locally but also on trips has been noticeable and appreciated. Also about maybe 1 mpg lost on trips has been worth it ,for all the other features we have gained by going with this size and model of Defender. The handling of our Forester has been improved from the OEM Yokahamas 2yrs 24,000 and the P7 All season Plus tires that only game me 32,600 miles for 60,000 mile tire. I rotate these tires every 6,000 miles and having put 12K on them thus far there is no wear noticed. Given the size & gross wt of our Forester SUV , lends to a lighter handling vehicle esp in mixed and snow ; we have gained better driving and performance for this type of SUV which has increased the value to us for our vehicle. I would recommend considering these tires, again I am very pleased with the greater aspect of the tires and getting into the Defender LTX M/S model I plan on updating this review when i get another 12k or on the tire Mark Va

265 70-R16 on 2012 Nissan Frontier 4x4 Crew Cab. Less rolling resistance, less than 1/2 previous tire noise, perfectly smooth ride, excellent traction, when accelerating, slowing, or turning. Highly recommended. No other companies tires are even close.

This is my second set of Michelin defenders. I got approx. 65000 miles on first set easily. I liked them so much I replaced them with another. Great in snow or wet conditions. Low road noise. Keep rotating these tires every oil change and you'll never have any problems with wearing.

Our Ford Edge is six years old with 40,000 miles and I recently replaced the original equipment Michelin tires with Michelin Defender XLT tires. They have a good looking profile and preform well on wet roads. I am confident as I face the oncoming Winter.

These are great tires that last long and ride smooth! We put them on our Mazda CX-9. The tire shop guy actually recommended them and said he had just put them on his wife's suv and they are great. We do a lot of highway driving so these were great for our needs. The tread is super smooth and very quiet. I will continue to use Michelin defender tires with my suvs.

I am 67, and began driving while being supervised at age 15. I was a professional truck driver for many years. I have had or driven dozens of cars, pickups, vans, straight trucks and semi trucks. I am not aware of any brand or tread pattern better than the Michelin LTX M/S. I have watched others experience the tires of their choices, how they made noise or the tread disappeared, or their choices were not even close to the Michelin on wet roads. Other than one source selling the same tire for less, I have not yet heard of or experienced a better tire. I am hoping to, by buying the new Defender for my van.. Thank you Michelin. Sincerely.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.
