I bought the LTX M/S for ...

I bought the LTX M/S for my 2006 Sequoia. The Speed Rating and coeffiecent of drag were most important to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride (very smooth) even over bumps (speed bumps at 30mph). I put 40,000 miles on it before I traded the vehicle in with lots of tread depth left. Never a problem less one flat from a screw.

perfect tire for the pirce

I purchased these tires to replace a set of Asian tires that were original equipment on the SUV. The OE tires only lasted 35,000 miles and were as bad as you get in Wisconsin weather. These new Defenders are great on ice and snow and have a quite ride. They are harder then other tires I had so you do feel the bumps a little more in cold weather. I did get the 3 for 4 sale so saved a lot on the tires. The last set of LTX tires I had lasted 85,000 miles on an SUV so I expect the same from these. Many car companies are now using the cheap Asian tires to try to save money. I just is not worth it to get cheap tires and then have to replace .

Defender LTX M/S Tires

I was told that these tires could be put on my Ford Taurus SEL, He said theses tires were for a car, then I told him that LTX means for Light Truck. I love the tires and they handle excellant, but I still have my doubts about these tires being for a car. So you tell me Michelin.

Phenomenal mileage and better gas MPG

These tires are replacements for a set that lasted 74,000 miles on a large Mercedes. From the first time they were installed my gas consumption improved by around 1.2 MPG around town and 2.9 on the highway. Also, no matter how bad the snow and ice gets we're always able to get home safely. I would recommend these tires again and again.

Not your father's Michelin's!

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.

Very smooth quiet ride

Have had Michelin’s on every car I owned. Or replaced to them on any used vehicles. My most recent was a Lexus RX350 which came with Bridgestone snows. When it came time for summer driving on went a set of latitude up’s. Not disappointed as usual with ride and handling they gave.

Amazing snow grip!

Two years ago after 32 inch snowfall I was the only one on the road besides the plow trucks. The day before, on my way home from work, the snow was coming down hard and I was headed for a 250 foot elevation hill climb. About halfway up, and around the bend, cars were in the ditch and blocking the road. I had to come to a complete stop on the steep incline. Whew, I didn't slide back down the hill. I put it in four-wheel-drive low expecting some slippage as I started moving again. Surprisingly no slippage whatsoever! I slalomed around the cars and pulled a couple out of the ditch and one up the hill to safety. Without a doubt I would purchase Michelin mud and snow tires again for my four-wheel-drive vehicle.

"WHAT CHALLANGE, BRING IT ON!"

Simply put, the ride is exceptional, great performance, tracking, steering road conditions, tire treadlife. Only downfall is the white outline tires. The way your bonding process is? ( i WAS TOLD THIS BY YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) SEE ANY HISTORY, warranty adjustments/ claims...). Had sidewall cracking. Not sure if this could pose a danger, did not want to take that chance. Hoping you would solve this issue, I PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR SIDELINES B.F. GOODRICH, hoping by the time I had to replace them and come back to these tires, this problem would be solved. Currently watching this...

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.

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!
