Disappointed

My first set of Michelins ( I am 62 yrs old ) Defender LTX M/S. Everything was great around town and local roads. Then I took a trip to Los Angeles. The rain grooves cut in the freeway caused this model tire to wander and follow the grooves. This was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was constant steering wheel adjustments. I guess the wrong tire for my truck.

Perfect

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.

Michelin Tires Exceed Mileage Projection

I always purchase Michelin tires because of their extensive life and mileage performance. My last set of tires on a Ford Explorer lasted for over ten years and 100,000 miles. My current set of Michelin tires of all weather tires are over five years old and have over 60,000 miles.

3 Sets in and Still Counting

Just installed my 3rd Set (counting the OEM that came with the truck). of LTX/MS on my 06 Ridgeline I have 85k on the vehicle. Avg. about 40k per set. I use them year round and live in VT. These tires have done the job for me. They are wearing well, quiet and provide good traction in all the conditions I use them for. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I consider this tire a good investment.

I HAVE USED MICHELIN ...

I HAVE USED MICHELIN TIRES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER-DUTY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 1991. I HAVE AVERAGED OVER 73,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES AND HAVE GOT OVER 80,000 MILES ON THE LAST SET USING REGULAR TIRE ROTATION (UNSING THE SPARE) ON THE LAST SET. I STILL MAY GET ANOTHER 5,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT. MOST OF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN HIGHWAY BUT I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE AVERAGED AROUND 19 MPG ON THIS LARGE TRUCK WHICH I ATTRIBUTE A GOOD DEAL TO THE TIRE QUALITY. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE MICHELIN TIRES AS I BELIEVE THEY PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE FOR MY TIRE DOLLAR.

Worth the extra cost

Purchased Defender LTX M/S for my 2016 Highlander in September, 2019. After 30,000 miles, I highly recommend. Great in snow, wet, dry conditions. Very secure on the road. Quiet! Low rolling friction which has increased gas mileage by 1 to 1 1/2 mpg. I expect to get 70K + tread wear.

Overrated treadlife - Very Disappointed

Bought these tires for my vehicle and after only 31000 miles, was back at the tire dealership shopping for new tires due to the excessive treadwear. This was the second set, both of which came way short of the mileage rating. Have been a life long purchaser of Michelin tires due to the quality and ride but these were a huge let down. Grateful for having a terrific dealer that was interested in trying to find a suitable replacement in a different brand. Not what I expected from Michelin.

These tires are on our ...

These tires are on our 2005 Class C motorhome. Although we don't put many miles on this vehicle, we have never had a problem with these tires. They are comfortable and give very good control and riding comfort. We had to drive during a period of severe winds and rain for about 5 hours, and we were amazed that we did not suffer any loss of directional stability or traction. Also, these tires appear to be resisting weather checking and any signs of aging. Tread wear is excellent.

Great tire

I bought these tires for my 2004 Chevy Colorado. A few years ago we had a big snow storm. Thirty Three inches. I'm not saying I was on the road driving in that amount of snow, but when the town's snow plow came by and knot the show down to about one foot I was on the road. On First Aid Squad need to be on the road. Worth the money.
