I did a tremendous amount ...

I did a tremendous amount of comparison shopping before buying these tires. I was very disappointed in the tires that came on my new vehicle. They literally roared while going down the road. It was also difficult to steer. It sounded and felt like the bearings on my truck were completely wore out (with only 35,000 miles on the truck). When I put the Michelin tires on, all the noise and steering issues went away. It is amazing what a difference a tire can make. I am a loyal customer of Michelin brand tires. After over 25 years of driving, I have never had a bad experience with any Michelin product. Michelin is the only tire I buy.

Best Tire Ever

Great tires! They are worth the couple of extra $ to move up to this grade of tire. Quiet and smooth ride. Outstanding handling in all road conditions including rain, snow and ice. Haven't found a thing that I don't like. I've recommended these tires to friends.

Built to last

I purchased this tire in 2020 shortly after cupping the OEM Firestone Destination Tires with less than 30,000 miles. I sold the Jeep Wrangler in May 2024 with over 101,000 miles on the vehicle. 73,000 of the last miles were on the Michelin Defender LT MS tires purchased in 2020. The tires were still serviceable with 5/32 tread depth remaining.

Typical Michelin

2014 Charger that came with Pilot MXM4’s which are excellent. Decided to go with a long lasting tire since she has surpassed 120k. The defender has a bit more cushion than the MXM4 and the Pilot Sports I’ve also had. Great highway ride and strong handling attributes even compared with the sportier tire.

Excellent all-round tire!

The Michelin MTX M/S is a great all-around tire. After 53,000 miles on these as stock tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, and after extensive on-line research, I decided to replace them with the same tire. They are excellent on the highway, and give a superb feel and control. They also do well in the snow/sleet/rain that we get here in Maryland in the winter. I also take them on a yearly off-road excursion in the Outer Banks, to a beach house that is only accessable by driving on the beach 8 miles each way - this is not a hard-packed beach like Daytona, but just the beach - have never gotten stuck and am sure that I won't. They are a little on the pricey side, but I would rather spend a few extra bucks on tires than on an insurance deductable because I saved a few bucks on tires and got into an accident. Just this past weekend I drove up to New Jersey in a terrible dounpour most of the way, and I felt confident that me and my family were just fine with these tires - no hydroplaning issues and a solid feel. Would definately buy these again. I am a huge fan of the brand - great tires (I have Pilot Sport A/S Plus's on my 04 TL, and they are the best tires I have ever owned).

Vibration is an issue

I always buy Michelin. I installed a set of these tires on my F-150 December 2016. When it's very cold these tires literally shake my truck as if they are solid, I am talking temperatures in the teens. They ride like that for miles. As the temperatures warm up, they still shake quite a bit until they are driven maybe 20 miles at expressway speeds. At temperatures over 65 degrees, these tires ride smooth as glass, so I know that my vehicle does not have any mechanical issues. I can't stand the vibrations these tires cause, very annoying ride! I more than likely will have to dispose of a brand new set of tire and find something else.

WELL WORTH IT

I did a lot of research on my tires. I wanted quiet but aggressive tires for all road conditions. Discussion with the tire supplier was a choice situation. I have ridden on Michelin tires since the 1970's. Michelin has simply improved all along. I have done all types of driving in the NWT, Yukon and outback BC. Paved, gravel, off road and a side wall rock puncture - replaced The thing that made the choice final was the fact that my truck driver neighbour showed my his Michelins on his truck. He said his Defenders have served him well. I also have 6 Michelin LTX tires on our motor home RV. Great product with a great guarantee.

Great tire, great look

Purchased a set of Defender LTXms yesterday for my 2019 F150 4x4 and couldn’t be happier. I’ve had them on other vehicles, on the Wifes Outback now, and never have been disappointed. I mainly highway drive and occasional pull a 3k lb camper and these just work. The drive home was smooth and quiet and they look awesome!

I have purhased several ...

I have purhased several sets of the LTX/MS tires in 10 ply over the past several years. I have had trouble free use for 70000+ miles on each set. I was even able to give the used tires to someone who needed tires, but was unable to afford to purchase any, They also were able to use them for additional trouble free miles. The tires are more expensive than many other brands but I have considered it well worth the cost to feel secure with the quality of the tires.

The Best tire I have owned

This is an excellent tire. I am on my second set and the tire wears for over 75,000. There is no area that this tire is average, excellent is all area's. You can buy this tire and forget about problems with tires or problems in driving do to tire limitations.
