3 out of 5 stars review

was expecting better wear - honestly

Have put on about 20,000 mile on these - medium use and mostly highway. wearing down pretty quickly in less than 1 year. not my previous experience with the Defender tires - they lasted 100k+ miles. Michelin - am questioning why I paid a premium for durability based upon previous performance now. Hopefully they will last. Don't appear to handle dirt/gravel roads as well as advertised/expected. I only buy this brand and this model for my p/u and SUVs. Am reconsidering now with my newest experience.

Great Expectations

2003 Mercedes ML350 Inspiration Edition @156K miles bought 4 Latitude Tour HP 275/55R17 109V. Replaced Michelin Cross Terrain SUV 275/55R17 109H purchased @75K miles five years ago. I researched available information plus my own experience to again buy Michelin. My SUV original equipment tires were Dunlop and were replaced around 37K miles with same Dunlop tire which lasted around 38K miles. I drove 200 miles from Chicago to Wisconsin first day and the new Michelins feel fantastic.

Exceptional Ride and Control

I did a lot of online research and the Latitude Tour HP kept coming up as the best tire for my purposes. I was right. The ride is quiet and smooth. Control on turns is crisp. I have no hesitation in buying the tire the next time around - unless, of course, Michelin comes out with a better one for my needs.

Wow, what a smooth ride!

I have had these tires on my vehicle for a month now and have truly noticed a difference in the drive on the road. We went on a trip in the North Carolina mountains and the tires were glued to the road on every turn. They were noticably quieter than the previous tires and just improved my overall ride in my 2019 Toyota Highlander. I am extremely impressed and will recommend them to both family and friends.

Extremely bad wear (27000 miles) for tire of this class

These were the tires that came standard on the luxury addition of the Cadillac SRX. We have had the dealer rotate and balance at their suggested intervals. I have never had a tire wear out this fast with less than normal driving. All 4 tire are wearing at the same rate but way too fast. I will say the tires ride smooth and handle well in all types of weather they just don't wear very well.

Better than factory tires

On my 2017 RAM 1500 Limited, the factory tires lasted as expected, about 17k miles. I've been a Michelin LTX fan for about 15 years. The Defender LTX MS didn't disappoint. They have a MUCH smoother ride than the factory tires ever did and handle very well. I've had them a few months now and can't yet see treadwear, but I know from Michelin experience they will last many many years.

3 Sets in and Still Counting

Just installed my 3rd Set (counting the OEM that came with the truck). of LTX/MS on my 06 Ridgeline I have 85k on the vehicle. Avg. about 40k per set. I use them year round and live in VT. These tires have done the job for me. They are wearing well, quiet and provide good traction in all the conditions I use them for. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I consider this tire a good investment.

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!

LTX tire noise

I have always been a Michelin fan. The recent set of LTX's were installed at time of vehicle purchase in 2019 and got me 90,000 miles. I purchased a new set in May of 2022, they have roughly 10k miles on them. After the first rotation they began to howl. I expected a little but not like this. I took the vehicle to point of purchase and inquired about the noise. We rotated front to back but the noise remains. It's been too long and too many miles for a tire adjustment from the store so i'm about to pay additional money to swap out the tires for a new set but after reading other reviews about the noise i'm afraid my money will not be well spent. To me it seems Michelin's improvement to an already great tire is ruining my enjoyment of driving and the security of riding on the best. Not sure what to buy now.

Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.
