Just put on our third set ...

Just put on our third set of these tires on our 2002 Highlander. We live in the mountains of western NC and my wife would not have any other tires on her car. We are at 3,700 feet, so we do get the snow and ice. These tires have been really good for us.

worst Michelin tire I ever had

I've had these tires on my 2015 F250 since July , thought maybe they would get better but no hope. I've bought Michelins for the last 23 yrs , a new set about every 14-15 months. These Defenders are worse tires ever , VERY bad ride , I always bought Michelin for the soft ride and road handling. But never another set of Defenders. If the didn't cost so much I would change them out now.

Outstanding tires

This is my 2nd set and my 2nd Honda Ridgline. I love the ride, these tires give smooth reliable traction on all surfaces as in northern Virginia we have all seasons and these are fantastic all season tires. I drive with confidence and comfort as these tires perfectly compliment the suspension of my vehicle. I recommend these to any and everyone desiring performance and comfort.

In 2000 I bought a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe with 9000 miles on the clock. Apparantly the original owner didn't like the original equipment tires that came on the vehicle and had swapped them for a set of Michelins. I liked those tires very much from day one. The ride was excellent. The handling, braking, wet traction, and traction in snow were all very good. That set of tires lasted until 2009, when with about 60,000 miles on them, I figured it was time for a new set. Of course, I put on another set of Michelins. I also put a set on my wife's minivan. She loves them too.

My first set of tires ...

My first set of tires which came with my 2006 Honda Ridgeline gave me 93000 miles and I know I could easily have gotten another 5000 miles out of them.I replaced them with the same tires which now have over 25000 miles and are showing no wear at all.I rotate my tires every 10000 miles.Thank you Michelin for a great product.

I did a tremendous amount ...

I did a tremendous amount of comparison shopping before buying these tires. I was very disappointed in the tires that came on my new vehicle. They literally roared while going down the road. It was also difficult to steer. It sounded and felt like the bearings on my truck were completely wore out (with only 35,000 miles on the truck). When I put the Michelin tires on, all the noise and steering issues went away. It is amazing what a difference a tire can make. I am a loyal customer of Michelin brand tires. After over 25 years of driving, I have never had a bad experience with any Michelin product. Michelin is the only tire I buy.

Amazing snow grip!

Two years ago after 32 inch snowfall I was the only one on the road besides the plow trucks. The day before, on my way home from work, the snow was coming down hard and I was headed for a 250 foot elevation hill climb. About halfway up, and around the bend, cars were in the ditch and blocking the road. I had to come to a complete stop on the steep incline. Whew, I didn't slide back down the hill. I put it in four-wheel-drive low expecting some slippage as I started moving again. Surprisingly no slippage whatsoever! I slalomed around the cars and pulled a couple out of the ditch and one up the hill to safety. Without a doubt I would purchase Michelin mud and snow tires again for my four-wheel-drive vehicle.

For me, it's only one brand : Michellin.

I'm being driving since I was 19 years old and I experienced with several type brand of tires and I can honestly say that for me, nothing better than Michellin. This set of 4 tires ( LTX M/S ), FOR MY SUV; it's the best ride confort and sastisfaction I have experienced and I will not change tire brand: For me, Michellin only. Thank you.

Switched from another name brand

I bought a certified preowned Highlander and it came with new tires from another company. After a 6 months or so of not doing a good job of keeping the tires properly inflated it developed edges on the blocks of the tread that made the most annoying sounds while driving. I put the Michellins on and it reduced the noise level dramatically. I was very satisfied and they lasted a long time too.

We have the Michelin LTX ...

We have the Michelin LTX 245/70-16 on a Nissan 4x4 Pathfinder that replaced the stock 255/65-16. Had the tires on the vehicle now for years and 40,000 miles. The tread looks like it will last another 40,000 miles and wears very even. The sidewalls are extremely rigid and must be puncture resistant. We live in a area with lots of potholes and new construction, so nails and debris is common on the road. My wife gets nail punctures very often and I don't so I have to think the deeper thread blocks and inner lining of the Michelins must have something to do with it. Where we live when it snows they don't clear the roads, so I only drive the Pathfinder then because the tires have really good grip on show and icy roads. They are way better than the OE tires, I am very impressed. If there is any negative complain I would say they do ride harder than the OE tires, they are very quiet but you do feel the road surface more.
