Tires - not so great!

I purchased tires in Novmber 2021. Immediately took a trip. The truck now rides very rough with lots of vibration. Went back to place of purchase. They rebalanced. Did not help issue. Went back second time. They rebalanced again. Because I was so unhappy with tires, they replaced two of them. I still have the rough ride and vibration. I personnel think the back are bad tires. Would not purchase this tire again.

Replace Goodyear Wranglers with Defenders

Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.

Thr best tires I've had on a vehicle

Chevrolet put these on when two sets of the tires that came on the vehicle when new failed at 7000 miles. Have had them on now for nearly 97,000 miles just ordered another set for my Chevrolet High Country Silverado. Ride is superior to any make of tire I've had, durability is unsurpassed as you can see by the milage and handeling is great, especially on wet roads, don't know if you can get them to hydroplane in wet conditions. They lack a little in snow and ice but preform well if you just slow down like you should do anyway! Had only 1 flat in all the miles driven. Great security for my wife and I! Keep up the good work Michelin!!!

Real results

I have this tire on a 2000 F350 Superduty with a super cab. Every tire I've had on the front of this truck has been toast by 35,000. Terrible feather on the side treads, just worn out. I have 39,000 on the Defenders and they are in great shape with even treadware all the way across. Only half way.

Trustworthy Tires

Although these are a M/S tire, I switch them out over the winter for winter tires. Since these were purchased for summer (non-winter) use, for those months, I'm happy with them. I like their feel and their ride is very comfortable, quiet and secure. I have no issues with them. Although I've only had them a short time, I see no reason not to recommend them.

Long term LTX M/S owner

I have been buying LTX M/S versions since the early 1990s and have them on most vehicles I own. Just purchased a set today for my Explorer and noticed the difference right away from the Master Craft that were on there when I bought the truck a couple of months ago.

DONT LAST LONG

10% of the tread is left at 30,000 miles. No way it will make it to 70k miles. IMPOSSIBLE!
