Smooth , quiet ride, Great features
I bought these tires several days ago and they are awesome! I have several sets on other trucks and always get at least 70,000 miles out of each set. Very quiet and a smooth ride on a 4 wheel drive truck and also handles the mud very well.
Superior in Confidence!
I bought them 5 months ago and put 6663 miles on them so far. They are quiet and sturdy giving me complete confidence that they will provide more miles than what they are rated for (70,000). I put them on a 2017 Lexus GX460. They destroyed my MPG ~30%. I still love them!
Great tires.
I buy Michelin tires for all my cars. You can’t bet them.
Love Michelin
I Love Michelin, I drive my personal vehicles on them and I drive professional (CDL) and I’m picky about what drive on.
Quiet Ride
Immediately, I noticed how smooth and quiet the Defender LTX tires were.
Discontinued tires
We bought Micheline Defender tires at Costco on July4/22. We were told that if we got a puncture or other issue that the tires would be repaired or replaced (excluding depreciation for wear). We got a flat tire and returned to Costco and were told that they would not repair it. They said the tires we have (less than 2 years old) had been discontinued and. They said since we needed the new version of the tire and there was a slight difference in the rating, that they couldn't mix them and we had to buy two new tires. We decided to see if Active Green & Ross would do the repair. Initially they said that they would and we left the tire with them. They called to say that since there were 3 punctures and two were close together, they couldn't repair it after all. They sourced a new tire (same as the previous one which was Defender LTX). When they went to pick it up at the Michelin warehouse, they couldn't find it. As a result they said we had no option but to buy two new tires. This cost us $1,058.56. We are seniors on a fixed income and this is a hardship for us. The dealer suggested that we contact you to make you aware of this and see if there is anything that you can do? Many thanks in advance or your assistance.

Great Tires But Rock Slingers
Great Tires, Handled really well when I was plowing snow. Theyre ok in muddy conditions. The only problem is theyre rock slingers. Its constantly throwing rocks and you can hear them from inside the cab when they hit the body. If you go a lot to places where its dirt roads get another pair of tires
good tires
Looks like good tires
Michelin Tires
I have had Michelin in the past. I have always had great luck with them. I expect the same with these. They ride smooth and quiet.
Best tire on the market
Got a set on Tahoe with 54000 miles and they still look and perform like the day we bought them. Further more they still got 8-9/32 tread.Michelin in my book are the only tires out there. In the long run they as my uncle says cheapest tire too. They will outlast 2-3 sets of the other name brands.
