The first thing I noticed ...

The first thing I noticed was the Jeep Liberty these tires were mounted on, would start to roll forward when the vehicle was placed in gear. A new experience since the original equipment tires just sort of sat still and always needed a little nudge on the accelerator to get into motion. Secondly, the original equipment tires would squeal in tight turns even at very slow (essentially) walking speeds. Not so at all with the Michelins. Third, handling and control of the Jeep has improved. They've only been mounted on my vehicle for a couple of weeks, but I;m definitely very enthused with their performance By the way, my 2000 Buick has Michelins and my 2005 Winnebago motorhome came with them as original equipment, and they have performed flawlessly in their first 45000 miles of service.

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction Just put a set on my wife's Grand Cherokee Ltd. . So far, excellent handling on any road type, quiet and secure feeling while driving at any speed. Have M/S's on my Commander and love them too. Best tire for endurance, range and quality for the price.

Unbelievable mileage

The Michelin man probably doesn't want to hear this but the last set of LTX M/S 225 70R15 tires I got 128,000 miles out of them and when my dealer could not locate another set for my Ranger they got me 235 70R15 and I've got 90,000 on these tires and they should last easily as long as the first set. I drive as a regional courier in the Kansas City area and went through OEM tires, replacement tires from other manufacturers and I will always buy Michelin's from here on out!!!!!

Prior to installing these ...

Prior to installing these tires, my vehicle hydroplaned several times, even at fairly low speeds, when the road was only moderately wet. My previous tires were only a year old, but I replaced them with these Michelins, due to the poor traction. That was 2 years ago and I haven't hydroplaned since, no matter what the weather conditions or driving speed. Additionally, these Michelins have been left on year-round during that time. They perform great in mud, rain and snow, both on the highway, and off-road. They've also been used extensively in hot, dry weather at highway speeds. I've driven across the country on them twice, and they still don't show any excessive wear. These are good safe tires, and the price was more than fair, considering the safety and function they've provided.

I ran these on a 2003 2500 HD Chev pickup. I got 101,000 plus miles on the first set which I put on right after I bought the truck new. Put the second set on in the spring of this year. Hope the truck lasts as long as the second set of tires. I've never gotten this kind of mileage on a tire before. My wife drives a tahoe and as soon as the factory tires wear out I'll put Michelin LTX-MS on it so she will have a safe long lasting tire on her vehicle. Its doesn't get any better than this.

Best tire tread wear. Great traction in rain and snow!

I bought these tires over a year ago. I have had numerous sets of this tire due to the quality being uncompromising. Traction, tread ware, quality. That’s why I keep going back to to Michelin. I’ve had other brands, Yokohama, Goodyear, etc. Michelin perform and wear better. You pay for what you get especially when it comes to tires. Well worth the price every time!

Quality and Safety

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

"Shoes for Cars"

Michelin tires are like Nike sneakers...a good reputation built on solid years of experience. My LTX M/S tires are on my suburban, yes I drive a suburban. Even with gas prices going up, my suburban stays on the road, mainly due to the Michelin tires. The tires offer a smooth ride on the highway and maintaining proper air pressure keeps it fuel efficient. The tread is perfect for all conditions on the highway and ready to take off road for my camping and hunting needs. I just shift into 4-wheel drive and my Michelin's take my up the muddy and rocky road to camp. Come winter, we're off to the slopes and my LTX M/S tires keep me in my lane up and down the steep grade to the resorts. I feel confident in my travels knowing that my suburban has the proper shoes for the event. THANK YOU!!!

Best tires in the market

Michelin tires are so reliable that my husband and I won't buy any other brand for our vehicles. They make the ride smooth and perform with excellence on wet roads. Here in Florida, the roads can turn treacherous at times due the so called "Florida ice", but we are confident our Michelin tires will always keep us safe. We recommend these tires for their quality, durability, and reliability. Thank you Michelin tires!!!!

Purchased for Jeep Wrangler

Superior difference in handling when on the road and at high speeds. Very smooth and better handling than the replaced Michelin tires that came from the factory. They look good and a bit more aggressive. So far very pleased with the tires and extremely happy with Discount Tires in Sioux Falls, SD. Our rep, Todd, went way out of his way to help us with the cost of our tires.
