A great SUV tire!!

I have these tires on an older Jeep Liberty with 140,000 miles on it. It's the 4th pair of tires on this vehicle. I use them in all types of weather and road conditions. The tires have performed well so far and I look forward to several more years of use out of them.

Excellent tire for my ...

Excellent tire for my 2001 Tacoma 4x4. Very quiet when new then went through a period of slight tire noise then back to unnoticeable. Traction has been steady throughout the first 45000 miles. Will replace with this identical tire if or when it becomes necessary. Considered this tire for my new Tacoma but purchased the Latitude Tour. Happy with that choice so far however only 3500 miles on that vehicle and tire.

Quiet, comfortable and capable tire

I recently put these on my 2015 Grand Cherokee and so far, they are great. Prior to these, I had the Latitude Tours, which I loved. These have a more aggressive looking tread pattern, and initially, I was a bit concerned they would have increased road noise, or compromise the comfort of the ride, but I have to say I am impressed - they are as good in those respects as the Latitude. These appear to be a more capable tire in snow and mud and I am looking forward to taking them through a Minnesota Winter. Recommmended!

Best Truck Tire

I replaced the stock tires on my Dodge Ram Hemi truck at 20,000 miles with Michelin 20 inch LTX M/S due to the fact they handled so poorly when it rained. The stock tires had become quite dangerous on a wet road due to hydroplaning, failure to stop and oversteer at low speeds as if I was driving on ice. They were very easy to break traction with on a dry road as well. The tires still appeared brand new and had plenty of tread left and had always been poor performers from the time the truck was new. The new Michelin tires made me feel like I was driving a different truck and all the problems I had been encountering in wet conditions were solved. The LTX M/S performs wonderfully well on a wet road and are pretty difficult to break loose on a dry road. The handling characteristics are superb and when you consider the mileage rating, Michelins cannot be beat.

Excellent all-round tire!

The Michelin MTX M/S is a great all-around tire. After 53,000 miles on these as stock tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, and after extensive on-line research, I decided to replace them with the same tire. They are excellent on the highway, and give a superb feel and control. They also do well in the snow/sleet/rain that we get here in Maryland in the winter. I also take them on a yearly off-road excursion in the Outer Banks, to a beach house that is only accessable by driving on the beach 8 miles each way - this is not a hard-packed beach like Daytona, but just the beach - have never gotten stuck and am sure that I won't. They are a little on the pricey side, but I would rather spend a few extra bucks on tires than on an insurance deductable because I saved a few bucks on tires and got into an accident. Just this past weekend I drove up to New Jersey in a terrible dounpour most of the way, and I felt confident that me and my family were just fine with these tires - no hydroplaning issues and a solid feel. Would definately buy these again. I am a huge fan of the brand - great tires (I have Pilot Sport A/S Plus's on my 04 TL, and they are the best tires I have ever owned).

Where the rubber meet the road

I drive my vehicle 100+ miles every day. I've ran over debris that should have damaged or destroyed my tires. To this day I can honestly say that I only have one(1) damaged area on my tires which has not impaired the driveability or road worthiness of the tires. The make and model of my vehicle was not truly designed to provide a comfortable ride, but ever since I installed the Michelin LTX M/S my vehicle handles better than expected. The tread wear on my tires has exceeded my expectations and I'm not done yet. Whatever you did to make the LTX M/S please don't change the formula because that's a darn good tire.

Wont balance and out of round

In the last two weeks I have had two sets (265/65/17) installed and now they are coming of my 4Runner and being replaced with another brand. I have always heard that Michelin was a top tire, but my experience has been terrible. Two out of four from the last set were out of round and it didn't matter what method of balancing was used (we tried road force and traditional) and it didn't matter. The first set was worse so i expect they had the same problem. Very unhappy with the amount of time and trips to tire shop dealing with bad manufacturing / quality control. Will never purchase again.

Almost the best tires ever!

Best tire ever made for large vehicles that primarily drive on the street. As a small business owner with service vehicles we have purchased a lot of these tires. Why did I rate them a three? Because Michelin cares more about longevity than safety. This goes for all of their truck tires. These tires are the best tires on the road for the first 45,000 miles of tread life and then the rubber compound gets harder and harder as they continue to wear making them so slippery that they easily hydroplane and barely get a good grip on some hard dry surfaces. Do yourself a favor and consider them a 50,000 mile tire. I noticed they are fading these out for the Platinum Edition with a high mileage rating. I'll probably try them soon but I'm sure it's the same result.

On my 2nd set on Escape!

My 2015 Escape came equipped with the worst (not Michelin) high performance tires on earth and literally were breaking apart in a short time. I was advised the Defenders were the best and I'm on my 2nd set. I've had Blizzaks on this car, but now that they're worn out, I find the Defenders do the job all seasons in Michigan!

Such an improvement in ride and noise level

I purchased a set of Michelin Defender LTX for my wife's Lincoln today... Wow, What a difference from the OEM Pirelli's that came on it new.. We commented many times about how disappointed we were with all the road noise this Lincoln had.. Little did we know it was the Pirelli's. After two sets of them I wanted to try something else and low and behold, the New Michelin's did the trick. The road noise from the car is sooo much quieter now. I wont be putting Pirelli's back on this car again!
