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.

Outstanding tires. I’m replacing the identical tires that, with regular rotation, I got 158,000 kms in the last 6 years.

Purchasing these tires from Costco was a great decision. The service was quick and expertly done. Free nitrogen, balancing and installation on top of a $120.00 discount was extremely helpful. And with free nitrogen, balancing and rotation for 60 months, this represents a spectacular bargain. Way to go !!!

Listen to your mechanic

We listened to our trusty mechanic and bought Defenders for our 2014 F150. My daughter reports they are quiet and smooth as promised. The unexpected bonus was the white lettering. It's a small detail that I love and was a little worried I'd have t give up. We had a nail puncture but is fixed now. I hope they last a while.

Nice ride!

I highly recommend these Michelin tires. In January 2024, I replaced tires on my GMC Sierra 1500 with the Michelin Defender tires. I could tell a difference right away. My truck rides smoother, is much quieter, and handles so much better. An added bonus is my improved gas mileage. I will never buy another brand of tires again!

Great Tires

This is the second set of tires I've bought and have been very satisfied with these tires. I live in snow country and the traction is great even as the wear down.
