After driving on Michelin ...

After driving on Michelin LTXs for the past 12 years I can honestly say that no other tire comes close in wear, durability, traction, comfort, and minimal road noise. One time, I switched to a competitor's tire because it was rated higher in braking and in wet traction. That competitor's tire was rated for 60,000 miles and at 25,000 miles they had to be replaced due to wear. I have consistently gotten 60,000 miles out of a set of Michelin LTX's with rotations and balancing every 6,000-9,000 miles. There is no other tire manufacturer making a tire that is comparable to the LTX in longevity. The only area the LTX is slightly weak would be in muddy conditions, although driving in muddy condition is not an everyday occurrence. I will continue to buy Michelin LTX tires "because so much is riding on my tires". Thank you for making a superior product.

Nothing Better Than New Tires

We got these 2 seasons ago to replace the tires on our Explorer just before a road trip from BC to Alberta. The tires wear and ride much nicer than the Ford O/E tires. The deep treads were great in heavy rain. After 30,000 they are mostly as new … we change to snow tires for 4-5 months of the year. Ford should use these as their O/E tires …

I have purchased (2) sets of LTX MS ( l set on a 1990 Jeep cherokee laredo, and on a 1997 grand cherokee laredo. Both sets have been excellent, with the set on 1997 jeep still with more than half the tread after 40,000 miles. I intended on getting these for my wife's 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo, but unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time. Also, the tires on the 1997 have been on for 8 years. I have recommended these tires to several of my friends, and I know least three have purchased the LTX MS. These tires are outstanding for all season, long mileage, and quite/smooth ride.

Got snow, off-road and freeways too?

The Jeep needed new shoes. What to do? Read reviews. Look at tires. Kick some of them. And then buy a set of Michelin LTX M/S. This Jeep doesn't do soccer games, but it does do snow -- wet, deep and powder plus all conditions inbetween. No wonder Eskimos have so many names for snow! The LTX tread pattern combined with siping provided a great balance in all those conditions, plus forays into some fairly serious rocky off-road trails with nary a slip. They are predictible in the twisties and quiet on freeway concrete, even with rain-groves. The wear-bars are starting to peek through and soon fall will be coming -- and the Jeep is getting some new shoes. Another set of LTXs, size 245/65-17

You get what you pay for with Michelin

I hate buying tires period. I learned a valuable lesson when I was young about tires. I wanted a set of Michelin's for my 1969 Mustang. Not many 17 year olds can afford new tires, so I settled on another brand. I had troubles from day one with those tires. I went back to the tire dealer and I was offered the opportunity to upgrade to a set of Michelins. I had to borrow money to afford them but man were they worth it. 29 years and many sets of Michelins later, I wouldn't change a thing. My current set has 83,000 miles on them and they still have some life left in them. Wow. I love it when a product lives up to it's hype and advertising.

Michelin Defender LTX MS

I've had these tires on my 2019 Nissan Titan for a couple of years. I don't change them to winter tires in the winter but they work just fine, despite the amount of snow we get. I would prefer if they would have kept the all weather version with the snowflake so I meet all government requirements, even though the all weather wears a little faster.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

Great Tires, time will tell

I've had this tread pattern on several vehicles, and the tires outlast my interest in the vehicle. When trading the vehicle, the tires are a selling point. In this case ( Oct 26 2017) I've removed the factory installed Latitude TourHP from my new 2017 RAV4 Hybrid XLE ( quiet, smooth, appear to be low rolling resistance, but do not appear to be well suited for winter or rainy near freezing weather, despite "M+S" inscription on sidewall) , and replaced with these Defender LTX M&S as an all weather tire. They are great so far, but I get the impression they do not roll as effortlessly as the Latitude Tours. Perhaps they need to be "broken in"?

One of the best sets I've owned

Bought these tires 60k+ miles ago. Been very happy with them. We have used them in snow, ice, rain, dirt and dry desert roads. Family camping trips, cross country road trips and daily drives. They have held up great. I'm on here planning ahead for my next set, so figured I'd leave a review.
