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

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.

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

Great Tire

I have had several sets of Michelins over the years and they have all been good tires, but these Defender LTX M/S are the best so far. I ran the PSI up to 40 -it was set at 32 from the installer and that made a big difference. I have not used them in snow yet but took a couple 800 miles trips and hit a lot of rain and sun at speed. These tires make my truck feel like a train- glued to the road...hit 1 to 2 inch pools of water on the interstate and they sliced right through it. Very comfortable ride and no excess noise. The only downside is I think I lost a MPG or two on the highway - but these are for a truck, if you want MPG your driving the wrong vehicle. Buy these tires you will not be sorry.

Thanks so much for the kind words A Guy, we appreciate your loyalty! In reference to your MPG, new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

Safety for the long haul

We had these on our Chevy Trailblazer, because I had previously had this series on another vehicle, and was very pleased with the traction in snow. Again, these never disappointed me and better yet, we got 80,000 miles out of them, and they wore evenly all the way across the tread, and remained very effective until they simply had no tread left. Best set of tires I have ever had.

Nothing but Michelin

Our vehicles (17+" tires) all have Michelin tires. Purchased smaller used vehcile (15") with non-Michelin but quickly forced to replace. Immediately had little or no road noise, tail-fishing or bumpy ride! The smaller tires are as excellent as their bigger "siblings"!!

I have had issues keeping one of these tires in this particular set in balance so that has been a real pain. This is my 2nd set of this tire and that is the only complaint I have had with either sets of these tires. I will definately purchase these again.

Second set of LTX M/S on Ford Edge AWD

This is the second set of LTX M/S we have installed on our Ford Edge AWD. We live in an area that receives considerable snow fall. We were so impressed with the first set that we replaced them with another. They are quiet on the highway, provide sound handling, great traction in wet and snow while providing decent wear or longevity. When this set wears out, I'd gladly put on another.

I like the tire

I was having trouble with left turns in wet conditions with our 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. The tires on the vehicle would not grip the pavement in this turn. This is the third set of tires for the vehicle and I no longer am having the car slip in wet conditions. I am in need of replacement tires on my Chevy Impala soon and will most likely use a Michelin for this vehicle as well.

My first experience was on my new 1997 mini truck. I finally replaced them at 125k miles. They performed very well in all conditions including snow and ice. Cornering and handling was enhanced by these tires. I made up my mind at that time that all my vehicles would have Michelin tires. All my vehicles including three quarter ton and half ton trucks and 9 passenger vehicle. My new mini SUV also has factory issue michelin.
