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.

No More Jeep Death Warble!!!

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.

The only compaint I have ...

The only compaint I have is that one of the tires failed less than 2 weeks after purchase. Traveling 65 mph on a straight stretch, my drive wheel tire had a side wall blow-out. This could have proved fatal had it been non-straight stretch road. However, since it's replacement there has been no problem and we are more than satisfied with them.

Great All-Around Tire!

These have been an excellent tire for bonding with the road whether the roads are dry, wet or snow covered. They are quiet and have great wear. I have them on my vehicles and had them installed on my kids vehicles. Worth the investment. Provides peace of mind. I highly recommend !

EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT TIRE !!!

These are the best all season tires I've owned! have had them on my F150 for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread - Amazing traction in the Colorado snow/ice! I also tow a trailer and they are sturdy built tires! I don't understand how anyone can complain of these being a noisy tire in the reviews that I read. They are an extremely quite and comfortable ride even at 80psi when towing (275/70/18 E 10ply tires) Would buy them again!

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.

Buying Another Set!

2015 F-150 XLT SuperCab. Photos are of the tires 4 years and 80,250 miles later. Rotated them with every other oil change. They would probably go another 10,000! Driven in snow, heavy rain, construction sites, and have pulled trailers. Even wear, quiet, and great in rain and during quick braking. Buying another set this week.

Love Hate Relationship

This is one of the best tires anywhere for my 2014 MDX. But, like some reviewers, mine got very noisy. I bought my daughter a set for her same year MDX, and her's never got noisy. When you read the reviews, you realize that some consider them great and others consider them second rate. Quality control?

Smooth Sailing

These are my first Michelins and I'm glad that I decided to make the investment. I live in New England and we received the obligatory late spring snow storm so I had the opportunity to test these tired in slippery conditions and they performed beautifully. I suddenly felt glued to the road regardless of the driving conditions. I also noticed an immediate difference in the quiet comfortable ride I had been missing from my vehicle all along. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra for these tires. They have changed my opinion on how much tires can make a difference in your ride.

Extremely Dissappointed in Michelin Defender

I bought these tires in 2021 and after 31,000 miles on an 70,000 mile warranty tire, they needed to be replaced. The worse part is that all 4 tires should have been replaced under warranty, but only 2 were replaced. I was very disappointed in my Michelin purchase.
