We have two family ...

We have two family vehicles and a motorhome. All have Michelin tires. Had switched to Michelin tires 10 years ago and have been very sastified. This past summer I was concerned with my 10 ply tires on our motorhome. We live in Arizona and travel to California in hot weather across the desert. I check the tires often and noticed some dryness where the sidewalls meet the tread. Mileage was 11,600 and the tread looked new. My thoughts was the safety of my family for fear of tread seperation. The tire dealer put me in-touch with Michelin Customer Service. A very nice woman took my information making a file and informed me to return the the dealer for inspection. A inspection was made on each tire and numbers recorded. The dealer phoned Michelin with the information. A short time passed and I was informed Michelin was covering 90% for of purchase of (6) new 10 ply tires. I was back on the road with great confidence. Thank You Michelin.

I put these onto my 2004 Tacoma when I first purchased it new and after 6 years & 95,000 miles, I've decided to replace them with another set.. I've driven on them 60 miles roundtrip to work everyday - in snow and blistering heat. All I've ever done is rotated and balanced... I couldn't be any happier!

Building Contractor will buy these again.

As a building contractor I drive a full sized 4 wheel drive truck, GMC Sierra and pull a dump trailer and my boat occasionally. I got more than 61,000 miles out of this set even though it runs on hot Florida roads, I tend to drive a little fast and stop a little harder than perhaps I should and my truck is rarely empty.

Will NOT Balance... and keep getting worse!

I have been buying Michelin LTX tires for many years now too include the MS/2 version. Without hesitation the LTX MS/2 were the best tires I have ever seen put on a truck. However with the advent of their new Defender series, I can honestly say they are the worst LTX tires they have ever made, they just will not balance out, the more I drive them the more they shake and shimmy. Last pair of LTX MS/2 had 115,000 miles on them, my 2002 Z71 Tahoe... LT285/70/17. The old tires had a better ride than the new tires do, (Defenders)... Shame, time to find another tire and manufacturer, never thought I would be saying that about the LTX Dave

Simply the best all season tires.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.

vehicle is a 4 wheel ...

vehicle is a 4 wheel drive 2500HD with the 8.1 engine. The original tires lasted 50,000 miles. I experienced one flat tire from a nail when the tires were new. At 50,000 miles, I asked for Michelin LTX. This was a good choice. The Michelins were driven for 110,000 miles will no problems. The tires had finally worn to the wear indicators when I discovered a 1/2" screw sticking in the tire. I removed the screw, but there was no leak. I believe I could have driven another 10,000 miles before I would have been into the wear indicators. I have never had another set to tires to match the performance of the Michelins. The tires always drove straight and worn evenly. I am very pleased with this brand and these are the reasons I purchased another set.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

Almost 72,000 miles on a dodge Durango SUV

We have made numerous trips from Arkansas to Florida with the SUV loaded with Wife, Me, 2teenagers, and more luggage than I care to discuss. The tires have performed perfectly for us. The wear has been so good that I am calling around to have them ordered before I even go to the tire shop. I have the P265 /60 R18 109T. I am replacing them with the exact tires no exception! Thanks Michelin Man! Bland Burris Jonesboro, Ar

Loudest tires ever

These are by far the loudest tires I have ever had on a car. For luxury tires they should be quiet, but at as little as 30 mph they are louder than the engine. This is my third set of tires on my 08 cx-9 and by far the worst. I have to have people yell from the second row to be heard over the tires if I'm going any faster than 45 mph. The ride doesn't seem and better than any of my previous tires. I have had car completely checked out and no idea why they are loud. It's not the vehicle. Rotate and balance every 5k have alignment done every 7k as well. Wouldn't recommend these to anyone. First and only Michelin tires I'll ever waste money on.

Loud tires

I replaced these same tires on my 2012 Toyota Highlander; this time, they are so loud that you cannot hear the radio. What is the difference from when I bought these tires 3 1/2 years ago? I figured it was just me but now my wife and son-in-law have driven the car and everyone has the same complaint It was too loud. You notice it at about 35 MPH and up. I have these same tires on my 2015 Tacoma Truck and don't have this noise at all. Is there a chance these are mounted wrong?
