Tires are crap

I don't even have 20,000 miles on my tires and my back passenger tire blew out!!! Tried to replace it through Walmart because thats where I purchased them, and they are on backorder with no information about a delivery date! Called Michelin and basically got no help! Told if i buy a Michelin tire I would be able to use my warranty for my blown out tire that has no sidewall left on it! Frustrated with no help and that I can't attach a photo! Extremely frustrated with Michelin not helping when they charge $278.99 for one tire! Will not purchase from them since they do not back their product when it fails!!!!

Great handling

well this is the first time me using Michelin tires and I think they're great tires they're holding up to my standards so far I haven't had a problem and they're some of the best I could get.

Great tires

I have used these tires on all my vehicles. Honda Pilot, Lincoln Navigator and just got theses tires on 2025 Toyota tundra. The dealer tires that came with the tundra were only good for 25k. Michelin defenders always lasted 80-85k when properly rotated on time.

Great tire for Trucks

I purchased these tires based on consumer reviews of comfort handling, durability and treadwear, I have had them in the past and they were a terrific tire for my truck (Ram 2500) I was more than pleased with the tires.

Very poor performance on wet roads

I have always bought Michelin. But I will never buy them again after purchasing the defender ms2. I drive an F-150 100 miles a day on the interstate. While the tread May last a long time. They are absolutely horrible in wet weather conditions. Start stops will have you sliding all over the place. And changing lanes on the interstate while raining is a joke. I have almost died multiple times and somehow regain control and not hit anybody. Please do better large Michelin tires on a truck cost upwards of $2k. And for that price I expect safety. Very disappointed.

Great set of tires

Had them before on my wifes QX80, then went with another tire the last time. I came back to these this time. they run quiet, they did great for my wife in both the rain and the snow. They also lasted really close to their general rated amount.
