Not happy

Not happy with these tires way too much weight they use 5 1/2 half ounces or more. Took it back they just moved them from the inside. The inside rim truck has a vibration now it didn’t help by moving the weights to a different place from the inside rim to the outside would not recommend this tire vibration of seats are shaking was not like this before about the tires had original tires bought the truck new Has never been wrecked. Wheels are not bent just poor quality tire they’re telling me this is normal.

Round black things.

Very happy with my tires on my f150. Much quieter and smoother than my previous set with a more aggressive look.

Très satisfait

Très satisfait de ces pneus. Je crois qu'il y a une amélioration du confort de roulement après avoir roulé 2 mois avec ces pneus. Je ne regrette pas du tout de les avoir achetés.

Like an old friend.Old

I’ve used Michelin tires for probably 40 years. I have never had any problems with them. I’m getting old now and my last set of tires aged out and still had more than half of the tread left. Bought a new complete set of the same type of (Michelin Defenders) tires. I suspect these will be my last set before I have to turn in my drivers license as I will be very close to 90 years old by then.

good all around tire

I put these on a 2025 Honda Ridgeline nice Ride and very quiet their predecessor the LTX M/S had pretty good winter traction ( I had them on a few vehicles) and ran them through the winter so I expect these will be the same. Though they don't compare to an actual "winter tire" they are pretty good. Minus a star because they have limited sizes, couldn't find the size I wanted so had to settle for a tire an Inch taller.

Great tires

These tires are the new generation and they are the same configuration of the previous generation. They ride smooth and with minimal road noise. Thet wear nice and are durable. I like their performance and handling. Great traction in the snow. I recommend these anytime.
