Great tires for my F150

I have been driving on these new tires for a month or so. I expected good grip and a nice ride and they delivered. I was pleasantly surprised how stable they feel. My old tires had a more aggressive tread and they felt mushier on the road. since almost all of my driving is on the read. These tires were the perfect choice.

Montana Grand Cherokee
3 out of 5 stars review

Not as good in the winter.

I have the Defender LTX M/S on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, replacing LTX MS2 tires that I used for 45,000 miles. The car is driven mostly in Montana where we have a lot of slippery snow packed roads and some black ice. I now have 6,000 miles on the new tire, mostly winter driving so far. The tires handle similarly to the ones they replaced, good handling on dry pavement, noise is not an issue. My complaint is that they do not have as much traction on snow-packed / icy roads as the tires they replaced. I can feel slippage at times and places I've driven for years in several generations of Grand Cherokees. Tires seem hard in cold weather

These are my second sets for my explorer and my first for my truck. I've been buying Michelin tires for over 20years and I'm a very satisfied customer with my Michelin LTX

I live in northern Maine ...

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.

Best tires

A buddy convinced me to use his tire guy, who talked me into buying bargain brand tires that saved a couple hundred bucks, over the Michelins that I've always used. I took it on a 300 mile hunting trip that weekend, and they “wallowed,” and the kicker was on the return trip from Del Rio, high winds over a long elevated bridge sent the truck into an “oscillation” that nearly put us into a head on. I took it back, paid for new Michelins and another hundred for the trouble… it was worth it! Those tires right now have 72K miles on them, and I'll probably get another 10k easy… and I don't drive bald tires!

LTX M/S on my old Suburban

I use these tires on my old Chevy Suburban to haul my 4500 lb sailboat out of the water at wet launch ramps and then back in after doing biannual maintenance to the boat. I also use this boat to haul the boat away from the ocean in the event of a hurricane near Charleston, SC. I need excellent load carrying capability and traction, and these tires perform flawlessly.

Michelin is King

I have been an RV enthusiast for many years. Over time, I have tried several brands of tires for my GMC 2500HD tow vehicle. I am now on my third set of Michelins. I have found Michelin tires carry the heavy load of my 5th wheel trailer extremely well. Handling is excellent and road noise is the lowest I have found in a mud and snow type tire. Michelins give me a sense of safety because they have proven to be trouble free over the life of the tire. I use Michelins on all of my vehicles including heavy duty tires with highway tread for my 5th wheel. My only complaint might be that I do not get quite the mileage for tread wear that is advertised. I'm sure this is partly because of the heavy load I carry. The rear tires wear fastest so rotations must be performed regularly. I usually buy new tires when the tread depth is about 4/32nd of an inch and that is about 45,000 miles. I've never found a tire that comes close to Michelin performance and always recommend them to family and friends.

For me, it's only one brand : Michellin.

I'm being driving since I was 19 years old and I experienced with several type brand of tires and I can honestly say that for me, nothing better than Michellin. This set of 4 tires ( LTX M/S ), FOR MY SUV; it's the best ride confort and sastisfaction I have experienced and I will not change tire brand: For me, Michellin only. Thank you.

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.

Best road tires I've ever owned

I've had the Defender series on several different vehicles. Best performing road tire I've ever had. Wet, slick, icy and light snow, the traction, stopping power and cornering is the best. I'd love to have some narley looking AT tires on my 4runner for looks but I'll never change from the Defenders, I feel safe with them on my vehicle.
