New Tires

[Joseph Garcia]

Good decision of the Defenders, IMO. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks everyone. I checked every site I could find for pricing, and no matter where the Defender LTXs are 209.99 per. Was going to buy from tirerack.com and pick them up for a $64 discount. I checked Sam's Club tonight and they're on sale for $730 for a set and $60 to install. Just put my order in.

Take that quote to discount tire now! They match (plus you can get a rebate from their cc) and you owe them for all those free rotations...

I called my local Discount Tire and told them about Sam's Club sale; they confirmed it online and price matched without requiring a written quote.
He also told me Discount Tire is having a big sale Labor day weekend with almost the same savings.

I'm getting new tires on my 2014 GMC Yukon XL Denali on Saturday!

I got my tires at Discount Tire also..... I've been a customer with them since '86.

Whitewalls in, of course!

The sale at Sam's is $160 off a set of 4, or $680 total

Belle Tire (Indiana, Ohio and Michigan) price matches and has a $70 rebate from Michelin, a $60 rebate from Belle Tire and another $70 rebate for using their credit card.

Care to guess where I'm going now...?

During the purchase, be sure the manufacturing dates match all 4 !!

Newbie Here, got 03 Yukon XL and going to put ‘10 Denali wheels when it’s time for new tires. I’ve got Michelin Defenders on the wife’s 4Runner and are very happy with them as are many of you are as well. I’ve got an itch to try the new Nitto 420V’s they are supposedly for bigger / heavier vehicles?Just not sure about them in the 2 times it snows here in East TN. Has anyone ran them or any input? Thanks

Welcome Shawn, you can get Defenders in an LT tire, the P-Metrics are also heavier construction, I think a B-Load if memory serves.

Am I going crazy or have the prices on these tires gone way up? You guys were getting them for $700 in August, but I just looked at Sam's Club, Tirerack and DiscountTire and they are all around $1,000 for a set.

I found that even a slightly larger rim makes for a way more expensive tire.

2 years ago when I had my '88 GMC truck, with 16" wheels, I got Michelins at $142.00,
6 months later when I bought my '05 Yukon with 17" rims, the same tire was nearly a hundred bucks more each. And that was also from Discount Tire.

 

[Intimidator3]

Fair point. I guess I incorrectly assumed everyone runs 22s at this point!

Have used Michelin Defender LTX several times, I have Michelin Premier LTX on my callaway tahoe, they want me to "test them on a Callaway" so I said sure, the price was right Have Michelin's on all 9 on my cars and suv's

So what's the difference between the Defender and the Premier? Between the two, which is the better one on a Tahoe / Yukon?

So I’ve been watching the tire threads for 3 years. Pretty much since I got my 15 suburban in late 16. I bought used and the dealer put on brand new Pirelli scorpion verde plus (22”) tires. I had my front suspension (MRC) replaced at 44k miles...out of warranty. The suburban has always rode a bit rough but better after the swap. Well after less than 30k miles the Pirelli tires were pretty beat so today I had the Michelin Defenders installed after everyone else’s glowing reviews. Well they make a huge difference in ride quality and noise. Noticeable the moment I drove away from the tire shop. So I’m a believer as well. I look forward to trying them in the snow and everything else Ohio weather will throw at them. So if anyone is still asking if the Michelin’s are worth the $263/tire. The answer is yes. Huge difference!
