I have never owned new ...

I have never owned new Michelin tires on any of my cars before,and I am over 60 years of age.However, the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica I currently own was purchased used. It came with Michlein tires on it. I put over 30 thousand additional miles on those tires and they were superb in breaking,the ride,long lasting and overall handling.This sold me on purchasing four new Michelin Lattitude Tour HP tires.My wife and I take two trips a year to Tennessee from Ohio and the MPG was much greater than expected and you just cannot beat the ride and handling of the Pacifica! I am definitely sold on Michelin tires!

Smooth and Quiet!

I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler that seemed to wander all over the road and was noisy. We considered moving up to a newer model. With new Michelin's its like a newer Jeep - much tighter and quiet. You wouldn't think tires could make such a difference!

Great tires! Repeat customer.

My work as a salesperson keeps me on the road 35-45k miles per year. Michelin tires prove to be the best long term value. Consistently get 80k miles per set. Do the math, all tires are not created equal. Michelin ride quality and cost per mile is the industry standard..

These tires are great night and day from my other tires. Live in North East Ohio along the lake. These tires have great snow traction and preform great on wet roads. would get them again and recommend them to friends and family. Got 4 new tires in November 2016

Absolutely Love These Tires!

Everything dealer told me they would be. Ride better than Lattitude Tours that were original, got 65k wear out of those, however these ride great, way better, very noticeable and smoother, quieter, ride like a dream! No complaints, my 5th or 6th pair of new Michelins, these are brand new line, they rock! Feel great about my decision, very happy.

Best tire I've used yet

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

Have been using various ...

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.

Love Hate Relationship

This is one of the best tires anywhere for my 2014 MDX. But, like some reviewers, mine got very noisy. I bought my daughter a set for her same year MDX, and her's never got noisy. When you read the reviews, you realize that some consider them great and others consider them second rate. Quality control?

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"?
