I ran Michelin X tires on my passenger cars for years because they were decently priced, rode comfortably, quiet and generally went the full 80k.
Michelin discontinued the X and introduced the Defender. I bought one set.. loud, poor traction, fast wearing... even though the warranty was 90K. That was the last set of Michelins for me.
I did appreciate the time Michelin recalled the LTX ties that I had bought from Costco for the Four Winds some 4 years prior... they replaced all 6 with the LTX 2, which were 10 times better.
Michelin Tire Recall/Replacement ProjectThat was 7 years ago, and while I sold the Four Winds, I still store it for the friend who purchased it from me. Those LTX 2's look every bit as good as when I purchased them. (Yes, I know about ageing... but that's HIS problem now!)
