I have had two sets of these tires. One set on a 4x4 4 dr Chevy Blazer and 4x4 GMC Envoy. These tires are great in the slush and snow of upstate New York. I have great confidence driving in 4x4 with my LTX tires. They are well worth the money except i wish they did not wear so fast. Not a great a ride on the highway as the Cross Terrian tires i previously had.

Last week I had 4 new defender ltx tires mounted and balanced (P265/60r18). About 100 miles later the whole rear end of my truck now shakes like crazy when traveling between 55-60mph. I drove right back and they tell me that my rear 2 tires have "factory defects". I'm having them replaced tomorrow.

I have 45K miles on these tires and they are great tires. They ride quite and I feel safe with them in bad weather. They have been thru heavy rain, snow, ice and handle well. The tread wear is even and I keep tabs on the tire pressure. I know I need to replace soon and will probably get the same ones. Hoping the prices come down...

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

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

I purchase these at the recommendation of the local tire shop. Shortly after installation I drove a few hundred miles mostly on the highway and there was significant vibration at speeds of 65-75 mph. This made for a miserable trip. I immediately went back to have them rebalanced again when I returned home. This did not make the ride any better so they attempted a third balancing and the ride is now worse. Additionally, if I don’t drive for a few days the tires get out of round and then there is significant vibration at slow speeds until they warm up. I never had these problems with the previous two sets of tires which were also much cheaper. These are the worst tires I have ever purchased.

I purchased our Defenders for our 2015 F-250 Super Duty before leaving for our 2000 mile trip. The tires are noticeable quieter and has a better ride quality than the tires (non Michelin) that I replaced. So far I'm very pleased with them. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tire I've purchased.

MICHELIN TIRES ARE LIKE A PART OF "THE FAMILY". THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN USED IN MY FAMILY FOR MANY YEARS . I REMEMBER AS A TEENAGER, MICHELIN WAS THE ONLY TIRE MY PARENTS WOULD PURCHASE FOR THEIR VEHICLES. THEN WHEN I GOT MARRIED, "MICHELIN TIRES" STAYED IN THE FAMILY. MY HUSBAND AND I OWN FIVE VEHICLES, MERCEDES, CORVETTE, TWO DODGE RAMS AND JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO. ALL VECHILES HAVE MICHELIN TIRES. THE MICHELIN PRODUCTS PROVIDES THE BEST MILEAGE, PERFORMANCE, WARRANTY AND PRICE. WE PURCHASED THE LTX M/S IN JUNE 2013 FOR OUR JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE LAREDO BECAUSE MICHELIN TIRES ARE THE BEST AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP THIS NAME IN OUR FAMILY.

It's a month and I am not impressed. I switched from Michelin Premiere which were very nice. Essentially it's like switching from nice and smooth ride to one in which you feel every vibration and bump on steering wheel. 1. The tires are louder than expected based on reviews. 2. I keep feeling vibration, even at very low speeds. The person in tire place checked and says everything looks right. It started with tire change so it is definitely tires not anything else in car. So this is definitely not comfortable drive tire. Probably good for trucks, but not other cars.
