"ONLY Tires I will use on my vehicles"

I own 4 vehicles and would use no ther tire. When I buy a new vehicle the very first thing I do is replace the tires with Michelins and sell the others. I find that the warranty,wear and overall feeling of safety given by their use is unsurpassed. Fortunately all my children have followed my lead and spend the little extra for the same terrific results. I highly recommend any Michelin tire, but my favorites have always have been the LTX series since we own suvs and trucks.

I used up all 70,000 miles on this tire

I bought this set of four tires in 2007 for my Explorer at 91, 000 miles. Through rain, snow, hot summers, and dirt roads, they have held up well and done what they were designed to do. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new set of Michelins (LTX MS 2 s) for the same rig at 162000 miles. They've been good tires. Held up well and are worth the money. Michelin has had a good reputation since forever and I work too hard for my cash to spend it on anything not holding up. These tires probably could go another 10,000 (rotated regularly), but they don't owe me a thing and I'm happy to replace them with another solid set. Thanks for not pushing junk on the market and having a quality product.

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!

I live in northern Maine and installed these on my Jeep Wrangler in late summer. The interstate up here has some very deep grooves in the road and hydroplaning is an issue in even moderate rain. The tires performed very well going through the pooled water on the roadway as I never felt any loss of traction with the road surface. Winter is just starting but for the first couple of storms and icy conditions that were left behind the tires again performed well. I already have about 8,000 miles on them and they are wearing just fine so far. I would definitely purchase these again.

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.

Snow traction is back!

Had to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus all season tires at 28k miles. They didn’t last long. The major snowfall of the season they had me questioning my Explorer. It’s 4WD and even in the snow mode, traction wasn’t there. Braking was horrible, ABS was kicking in all the time. Felt like I was back to driving my Town Car, and even that dealt with the snow better. The Ford dealer agreed these tires were about done. Weeks later the dealer hooked me up with these tires. No more flat spots. The ride improved, quieter too. Yes I know new tires make a difference. But the old tires weren’t that old. The next snowfall was a big improvement. Traction was back, braking was confident. 1,000 miles with these tires and so far I’m sold this was a smart purchase. 6 inches of unplowed roads this morning and I felt much more confident. Driving smart of course. Cannot say how long these will last but my precious experience of these tires on a ‘99 Tahoe was favorable too. Good tires for this vehicle.

Fantastic Tire

My new GMC 1500 Denali came from the factory with Bridgestone tires. I asked the dealership to change out to Michelin that I had been running various models on my trucks for over 30 years. They declined and said the Bridgestone tires were "just as good". At 186 miles, on the freeway at 80 mph the left rear Bridgestone completely came apart. It delaminated like retreads do on tractor trailers. I was able to pull the truck over, put on the spare and drove back to the dealership I've never had a tire come apart like that. After a bit of a discussion with the Sales Manager the dealer persuaded GMC to replace the tires with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Couldn't be happier. The tire is quiet, handles like a dream and I don't worry about the quality. "Just as good" means inferior in my mind.

These tires are on our ...

These tires are on our 2005 Class C motorhome. Although we don't put many miles on this vehicle, we have never had a problem with these tires. They are comfortable and give very good control and riding comfort. We had to drive during a period of severe winds and rain for about 5 hours, and we were amazed that we did not suffer any loss of directional stability or traction. Also, these tires appear to be resisting weather checking and any signs of aging. Tread wear is excellent.

Outstanding tire at 225k miles

On my 06 Honda Ridgeline, these tires were OEM and lasted +100k miles. Since then I've replaced them with two more sets of non-Michelin tires and have hated them every mile. Now, at 225k miles, I've gone back to the Michelin tire and love them. I'd forgotten how quite good tires should be. They give me fantastic wet-road performance. Haven't yet been in the snow yet, but if they perform like my original tires, they'll be great. My advice, spend the extra for these tires. They're worth every penny.

So Far So Good

We were looking for a new set of tires and wanting great performance, longevity and ride noise. We came across this tire and for the first several weeks all has been good. We've dealt with some rain and icy conditions and no lack of performance issues so far. The ride noise has been the most impressive including during a road trip we took as well. We've been impressed so far with some of the key aspects we were looking for.
