Not what it first appears to be.

This tire has performed very well on my E-350 van. The only drawback to date has been the break in period for tire squirm. The tall tread pattern made for soft steering. It took approximately 1,000 miles of driving to break in the tire and now it is functioning much like I had expected.

Tires don't last

The tires have a 70 thousand mile warranty. I bought the tires in May of 2023 but the review form makes me put the purchase date within a year of the review date becuase they don't want people giving a real review of the tires. I only have 30,000 miles on the truck and the tires are going bald already. I drive mostly highway with some city driving, buts its all on paved roads and never offroad.

best tire ever used 2007 until today.

I had a 1998 Ford Ranger 4 X4 had serval sets of tires on my truck but none of them out performed the LTX/MS . Truck was used for everyday use tires where rotated on a regular bascis. Bought tires in 2007 and they are still on the truck today 2013. Michelin tires are the only tires that I buy I have them on all my vecheils

Awesome Tire awesome treadlife

I have run Michelin tires on the last 3 vehicles I have owned. I have purchased less expensive tires trying to stretch a dollar, and have discovered the cheaper tires do not stay in balance and do not have nearly the same tread life. I have had one road hazard experience while in my truck with an 800 pound Harley Davidson in the bed. I hit a 2X4 lost from a vehicle in front of me while traveling in excess of 60 MPH, the result was an immediate loss of tire pressure and tire running flat. I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road safely, crossing through 2 lanes of California freeway traffic. Upon inspection of the damaged tire I discovered that the 2x4 had gone through both sidewalls of the tire, even with that the beads stayed attached to the rim allowing me to safely stop. I am sold on Michelin tires and will never purchase another brand.

Quiet and smooth ride

I have had my tires for about 10,000 miles. They are very quiet, and give me a smooth ride as well. I believe in Michelin tires and have purchased them for half of my life. They have never failed me and I have never had a problem with any of my Michelin tires getting cupped on the edges and making noise. They are not the cheapest tire but they are worth the cost in the long run. Spend the time to rotate them every 5000 miles and they will last you a long time.

LTX m/s

I have had these LTX tires now for 2 years have put about 40K miles on them and they have performed very well. They ride smooth and make my F150 drive more like a car than a truck. Everytime I take the truck in for a rotate and balance I get great reviews from the tech's about he even wear and the long term durability of these tires. I have been very happy with my purchase. Keep up the good work and Thanks MikeA

THREE TIMES IN A ROW, THESE ARE THE BEST

THESE ARE THE BEST TIRES I HAVE EVER USED IN ICE, SNOW OR RAIN, ON OR OFF ROAD THEY WEAR LONGER THAN ANY OTHER TIRE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THEY ARE ALSO QUITE ON HOT SUMMER HIGHWAYS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A PICKUP TRUCK SINCE 1974 CONTINUOUSLY, AND THERE IS NOT ANOTHER BRAND I WOULD CONSIDER FOR MY CAR OR TRUCK. I DO NOT EXPECT YOUR THANKS FOR BUYING YOUR TIRES BUT I THANK YOU FOR BUILDING SUCH AN EXCELLENT PRODUCT. THANKS SINCERELY UNCLE BO

Disappointed

I have been a Michelin fan for 30 years. Every vehicle I have runs on Michelin rubber. I bought a set of Defender LTX M/S for my 2019 Ridgeline and could not be more disappointed. The road noise from these tires was terrible. They whined like a monster truck. I ended up replacing them with a different set of tires from another company. Another customer at the same tire store had a similar experience with the same tire. I’m hoping this is just a one off bad batch of tires and not a loss of historically great quality.

New tires, let's roll..

Just replaced Yokohama tires with 64,000 on tires, dealers mentioned that they no longer carry them so he suggested the Michelins Defender LTX MS for my suburban. Now let's see how they perform on the highway, pulling cars to shows in this desert climate. Looks nice brings back that OEM look to the unit. Now had a fair experience with prior warranty on tread life, let's see how this round goes..

We have had these tires ...

We have had these tires for over 70,000 miles and they still have tread left. Over the last 10,000 miles or so I have noticed that they have gotten louder. Also, they now have a tendency to when pulling away from a stop sign or making a tight turn in a parking lot. These have always been excellent in the snow and good in the rain. Even though these tire were probably the most expensive tires I have purchased, the are by far the best I have ever had. They outlasted the stock tires on my Highlander 2WD by over 40,000 miles. They also had much better handling and traction than the stock tires. I plan on replacing these in the next month or so with a new set of these or the LTX MS/2
