These tires came on my truck when purchased Brand new in 2000. I have continued with this brand because they are dependable ,wear well, and ride is smooth and they last for over 75,000 miles or more. I still have the original spare time that came with the truck. These are the best brand of tires and I recommend them to everyone.

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

When we purchased our new 2011 GMC Yukon we insisted and the dealer complied with our wish to replace the factory tires with Michelins. We just replaced the originals with slightly over 70,000 miles and could not have been more pleased with tires that were still quiet with a good ride and tread depth that would pass inspection. We chose to replace them at this time because we don't like running a tire that is getting close to minimum tread depth. This opinion is based on our driving on interstates at high speeds and in mountain terrain. We have years of experience using Michelins and would not consider another brand.

I bought these tires in 2005 and still have them on my vehicle. They have been very good. They do great in the snow, rain, and mud. They have been used on a vehicle that takes me to work everyday. I will be purchasing new tires again in the near future and plan on buying the same tires again.

Bought new Michelin 18” Defender LTX M/S2 tires for a Ford F250 to replace Michelins that had come with the truck. My old tires were smooth as silk and I actually got more miles from them than the warranty. However, the new tires vibrated badly, so I had them rebalanced twice, with no improvement. Michelin replaced the tires under warranty, but the new tires also vibrate badly. I took them to another shop that had a road force balancer and paid out of my own pocket to have them rebalanced again. There was some improvement, but there’s still a significant amount of vibration. I'm very disappointed in these tires.

I have found that over the years that the Michelin LTX M/S has been the best tires for my pickup trucks and my SUV. I average 35,000 to 40,000 miles a year on each of 3 pickup trucks and need a tire I can feel confidante in to give me good tread life, a smooth ride and good traction in bad weather. I have tried other brands of tires over the years but I like the Michelin the best for the long haul.. And yes I have friends that now like that tire also.

although i've only had this set of michelin ltx m/s tires for less than six months, what i've noticed so far is the smoothness and quietness of the ride they seem to provide. obviously, at less than six months old, there is no visible ware whatsoever. i'm happy with the tires and if they give me close to their warrantied life i'll likely buy another set.

I have 30k on these tires and they wore abnormally down the middle, despite keeping proper air pressure and rotating them. The original LTX M/S2 tires were the best tire I ever owned and what made me a Michelin customer. These new Defenders may look like the old design, but are clearly inferior.

Security on the road is the most important reason I buy Michelin tires for my vehicles. I feel safe with my family knowing I've equiped my SUV and cars with the quality of Michelin tires. They make my vehicles handle like they should in any condition wet or dry, hot or cold I know I can depend on my Michelin's.

I am extremely happy with the purchase of these tires. I have a 2wd Sierra 1500 crew cab and had Goodyear wranglers prior. These Michelins are nice and tall and have a great sidewall look. The highway tread pattern looks great and had performed better. The tires are quiet on the highway and feel sturdy overall maybe slightly harder than I was used to however the beef inspires confidence when towing our 4,500 lb. camper as there is no wallow and the generally feels more capable. I would definitely purchase again.
