Michelin Best & Worst Tire

I have bought the Defender LTX MS tires for 3 separate vehicles that I have owned over the last three years and folks I can tell you, this specific Michelin is nothing short of a nightmare for me and my family. If or when you do find a good set of four, the ride quality is nothing short of phenomenal, but be warned, you might have to go through 12 of these tires to find four that is not defective. The reason why I keep buying this model is the fact that when you do find a good set, they are the most comfortable and with extremely low noise, because as good as the other models of Michelin tires are, most of them are extremely noisy. I have used countless other models of Michelin tires and kind of gave up on them due the high levels of noise, but other than high noise level, they were excellent all round tires. Michelin really need to spend more time in scrutinizing their quality because which ever factory they are using to make this specific model, they are way off the mark. The vibration from the defective ones are so bad that there are times when driving down the highway that I look over at other drivers to see their reaction if they can see my vehicle shaking. Due the vibration issues, I have even been trying to find this exact model tire in the European market, so I could have them ship here to me in the USA, because I was told the Michelin tires that are made in France are of higher quality. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have this in Europe. Michelin should be ashamed to put out this poor quality tire with their name on it.

Great Tires!

My new truck came with Michelin tires when I bought it.. I was impressed by how long they lasted (almost 72000 miles. I probably could have gone more miles but decided with the traveling I do it was time. These tires are definitely "tread worthy" and that is why I just bought another set.

One of the best sets I've owned

Bought these tires 60k+ miles ago. Been very happy with them. We have used them in snow, ice, rain, dirt and dry desert roads. Family camping trips, cross country road trips and daily drives. They have held up great. I'm on here planning ahead for my next set, so figured I'd leave a review.

High mileage is an understatement!

Mine are the old style ltx and 6 years old with 87,000 current miles on them. The vehicle came with lattitudes that wore out at 77,000. I rotate myself every 5,000 and keep track of the correct rotation in a book. They show slight signs of sun wear and I'll change them before the next winter with an amazing amount of tread left. People still ask if I just bought new tires. Best handling, noise and wear tires I've ever owned!

A world of difference

First accumulating snow in Michigan 2013. From the trip in, to the trip home with new tires; these new LTX m/s made a world of a difference. The sure grip was very noticeable. No where near the slip and slide at stopping or acceleration. Good choice of tires on my Explorer.

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.

Where the rubber meet the road

I drive my vehicle 100+ miles every day. I've ran over debris that should have damaged or destroyed my tires. To this day I can honestly say that I only have one(1) damaged area on my tires which has not impaired the driveability or road worthiness of the tires. The make and model of my vehicle was not truly designed to provide a comfortable ride, but ever since I installed the Michelin LTX M/S my vehicle handles better than expected. The tread wear on my tires has exceeded my expectations and I'm not done yet. Whatever you did to make the LTX M/S please don't change the formula because that's a darn good tire.

I have had excellent ...

I have had excellent service with Michelin tires. They have been my tire of choice for over 30 years. The set I have on my Tundra has 60,000 + miles on them and they still preform very well. I hunt and therefore spend lots of time in the woods. They get me in and out of the red clay with no problems.

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

Great, long lasting SUV tire

This has been my choice of tires for my Grand Cherokee, which now has 211,000 miles on it; It is a solid tire, that combines great road gripping abilities with a very comfortable ride. On top of that, it gives me about 80,000 miles to a set. Recommended.
