Great tires.
Once again Michelin has proven to make a great tire. I have been purchasing Michelin for 25 years and have never had an issue. Quiet tires that handle well wet or dry. Highly recommend.

Excellent wet/dry traction and quite
Purchased 4x 265/50/r20 for 2020 Grand Cherokee limited X. Very quite with excelled wet/dry traction. Also performed well last winter in moderate to heavy snow. 8,000 miles to date. Highly recommend this tire.

Nice tires!
These tires are very quiet and seem to be wearing really well! Price was reasonable and worth every penny!

Great handling! Smooth ride
Have only used them for summer driving, however, love the way they grip the road in both rain and hot weather Very smooth ride

Parfait
Silence et efficacité en toute condition

I have always used Michelin tires on my vehicles. I was a SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION DIRECTOR in NY State from 1965 to 2000 and used Michelin Tires on all the district school buses as well. Best tires on the market..
Thank you for your wonderful feedback and for trusting Michelin tires over the years!

Best Winter Tires for Western Canada
The X-Ice tires are just excellent. I've had several sets over the years living in Calgary. The winters here are no joke and these tires are super capable on both snow and ice, they wear nicely and they're super quiet. Can't say I've ever driven a better winter tire.

Cuts through rain soaked roads like nothing.
I installed the Defenders back in June 25 and immediately noticed a difference in ride smoothness and noise. Most importantly, I have driven through some heavy rain downpours and found these tires cut through the water like it wasn’t even there… I feel very safe having these Defenders on my Ram 1500. Highly recommend them.

I like my tires but they are to noisy
