Good tires to have on your vehicle.

I have almost 52,000 miles on my tires. I could go probably another 5 to 8,000 miles. Thread is getting close to the tire wear markers. We are an older couple in our mid-70's. I decided to purchase another set of 4 because I wanted to be sure we do not have tire problems. We still travel a lot. Handles in all weather very well plus the potholes in a few roads we travel. Be safe/feel safe with these tires. We have over 100,000 miles on our truck.

Loss of Fuel Economy, more road noise

I have been a lifelong Michelin customer. Recently purchased these and my highway fuel economy dropped from 19mpg to around 16.6mpg. I have these tires on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali which replaced an older set of LTX M/S2 tires that were great. These also have more road noise than the previous model of tire. I've seen reviews that provide the explanation that newer tires are more grippy so i should expect some loss of fuel economy and noise, but this is the first that i have ever experience in a tire from michelin. My previous tire, put them on and all was good, nice and quiet, with the fuel economy that i would expect.

Great tires

I got a set on my 2014 crew cab F150 4x4. Have had them about a year and a half and now nearing 90,000 miles. Never a set of tires that have lasted this long. They have been great. Smooth ride and handle well in all kind of weather even when we get hit with the lake effect snow we get here. They are finally getting down to needing replacement and I have an appointment for Monday to get another set.

Great tires! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased a set of Defender LTX M/S tires for our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. Could not be happier! Smooth quiet ride, with very good handling. Recently traveled about 1400 miles over varying types of road surfaces and mountain driving. Felt a lot more comfortable coming down the steep and winding mountain roads that we have traveled many times so very familiar with those roads. Nice looking tires as well. Have not tried rain or snow yet so only rating performance based on dry roads.

70K Maintenance-Free Miles

Only now am I forced to replace the front tires, and that's primarily due to my AWD 4Runner's tendency to abuse the front rubber (and a September registration renewal). Rear tires have 15K+ miles of tread remaining, and this is from a guy who pays little attention to air pressures. Michelin has never disappointed me, and even though there are less expensive options, they are also cheaper in almost every respect. My next purchase will be another set of Defenders, without question.

Long life

My Michelin Defender LTS M/S are now 83,000 miles and 5 years old and still have a few hundred miles left over. I keep very good care of them and rotate them every oil change. With time tires get hard and performance gets compromised so with this heavy rains is better to change. If you get such a long life is not such a big investment at all. I strongly recommend this tire which was the OEM on my F150.

Good looking tire not quality

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don't hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT TIRE !!!

These are the best all season tires I've owned! have had them on my F150 for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread - Amazing traction in the Colorado snow/ice! I also tow a trailer and they are sturdy built tires! I don't understand how anyone can complain of these being a noisy tire in the reviews that I read. They are an extremely quite and comfortable ride even at 80psi when towing (275/70/18 E 10ply tires) Would buy them again!

Beyond awesome mileage.

Bought these tires almost six years ago to put on my Tundra. Purchased a new 2016 Silverado and had the Defenders removed from the Tundra and put on the Silverado with 1,000 miles already on them. Put the new Wranglers on the trade in Tundra. I drive a lot. Fast forward to 2021 and 179,000 miles on the Defenders and still going strong. Awesome ride and quite. Tread gauge now reads 1/4 inch on all tires. Unbelievable! Considering buying new Defenders but tempted to see how far I can go on this set.

Wow - the Michelin difference

My first several hundred miles remind me why I like Michelin tires. Smooth, responsive, quiet, sure footing. I drive mostly highway miles but have a mix of primary and secondary roads and the Defenders are a very nice match for both types of surfaces.
