Michelin = Reliability+Comfort+Control

As my post states, Michelin tires are the standard when it comes to reliability, control and comfort. They have always been a great passenger tire because they offer a superior ride, allow you to maintain control in the harshest of weather and rarely fail (no one's perfect). They've been under my minivan since the day it was purchased (8 years ago) and sure, they cost a little more but I wouldn't risk my family's safety on anything less.

Original Set- I put 57,000 miles on the tires before replacing with Latitude Tour. The only concern I had was the lack of control in the snow. I did consider snow tires, but for the few days each winter, I chose to not use the vehicle. I have been pleased with the tire in every other way and want to thank Michelin for a Great tire!

Vibration? Get these Road Force balanced, TRUST ME

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

I currently have just under 40,000 miles on the tires and they still look and work great. They work in the wet, in the snow and they handle twisty roads with ease. I will definitely be getting another set when these finally wear out. Given the performance of these LTX's and the Pilot Sports on my other car, my wife's car will be getting Michelin Primacy MXV4's when she needs tires.

" Michelin equals security on he road"

Security on the road is the most important reason I buy Michelin tires for my vehicles. I feel safe with my family knowing I've equiped my SUV and cars with the quality of Michelin tires. They make my vehicles handle like they should in any condition wet or dry, hot or cold I know I can depend on my Michelin's.

Quiet and smooth

From the first drive these tires have been very quiet and absorbing the tar strips and bumps in the road. Looking forward to how they perform in the snow. Ratings ask about taks that have not been tested yet, such as safety. I haven't had to do a panic stop or heavy rain.

Like buttah, baby!

I put the Michelin tires on my 2008 Silverado extended cab that has some suspension mods that made it run hard and loud on the stock tires. I also needed higher load rating tires than the stock ones I was rolling on. The Michelins were like nirvana...very quiet and smooth on the road...like buttah, baby! They are wearing very well,too. So, I am going to put a set on my Durango next. Great tire!

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

Ran these tires on our 3/4 ton pickup towing our 5th wheel trailer for 7 years. In that time we never had any issues with these tires. They ran great in the rain and in the 100+ degree days we have in the summer. I just replaced them with an identical set.

LTX/MS Michelin Tire

I purchased 4 tires in March 2009 and it is now August 2013...almost 4 1/2 years ago. My tires still look new. I have gone almost 55,000 miles and they are still good tires. The treads are still good. I have always bought Michelin. They are the best tires for the money.
