I used up all 70,000 miles on this tire

I bought this set of four tires in 2007 for my Explorer at 91, 000 miles. Through rain, snow, hot summers, and dirt roads, they have held up well and done what they were designed to do. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new set of Michelins (LTX MS 2 s) for the same rig at 162000 miles. They've been good tires. Held up well and are worth the money. Michelin has had a good reputation since forever and I work too hard for my cash to spend it on anything not holding up. These tires probably could go another 10,000 (rotated regularly), but they don't owe me a thing and I'm happy to replace them with another solid set. Thanks for not pushing junk on the market and having a quality product.

3 Sets in and Still Counting

Just installed my 3rd Set (counting the OEM that came with the truck). of LTX/MS on my 06 Ridgeline I have 85k on the vehicle. Avg. about 40k per set. I use them year round and live in VT. These tires have done the job for me. They are wearing well, quiet and provide good traction in all the conditions I use them for. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I consider this tire a good investment.

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.

Third set of truck tires

I have had three sets of Michelin tires on my trucks and would never think of using any other. The reason is safety and wear. I pull a fifth wheel travel trailer, not a dually, and don't ever want a tire failure and never have with Michelin. Also recently bought Michelin for our travel trailer. I have never felt safer!! As a side note, we have installed Michelin on our personal car. The wear is excellent when you ride on these tires and the feeling of safety can not be better. Highly recommend the Michelin tire family if you are looking to replace your old rubber.

save yourself both time & money buy thz

These are my second set of Michelin tires on my Duramax 2500 Diesel that has over 130K on it for milege. We tow a 31 foot Airstream Trailer, and ahve towed it across America twice. These Michelin tires have never failed and the milege on these have been close to 60-65K per set with rotation and air pressure being monitored. We're about to upgrade to 16" wheels on the Airstream and they will have Michelins and on our Cadillac SRX we use Michelins. The only bad thing is for Michelin, is they last forever. Buy Michelin and you will save yourself allot of time, money and frustration. A well worth investment for a long term return.

This is a truck tire, not a luxury tire

I purchased these for a 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, road noise was persistent over 40 mph, the tires felt relatively unstable at highway speeds, and tracking wasn't linear. These are great truck tires, but I found them unsuitable for a luxury SUV. I returned the Defender LTX M&S 2 tires for a set of CrossClimate2 and am more than pleased.

I now am on my second set ...

I now am on my second set of Michelins on my Honda Ridgeline truck. I replaced the first set after 90,000 miles and still had some tread left. I know I could have gone to 100,000 miles with them if I had to. I use my truck for business with lots of highway miles and I also use it for hunting purposes. The tires are equally exceptional on the highway and in the woods. I will buy them again.

Michelin Makes the Best Tires Hands Down

I've been running Michelin LTX M/S on my '89 F150 for over 15 years now and have had zero problems with them. I just put on my third set and actually ran the last ones a bit too long. Even though they were severely sun damaged and had little tread left, I had no problems with them on the road regardless of running with a load, trailer, or empty. I wouldn't want to run any other brand of tire. You may be able to buy a cheaper tire, but there is no other tire that will give you this kind of performance and reliability. After working in a tire store for many years, I only want to buy Michelin products! I've seen too many issues with other brands to take a chance on saving a few bucks.

These tires are on our ...

These tires are on our 2005 Class C motorhome. Although we don't put many miles on this vehicle, we have never had a problem with these tires. They are comfortable and give very good control and riding comfort. We had to drive during a period of severe winds and rain for about 5 hours, and we were amazed that we did not suffer any loss of directional stability or traction. Also, these tires appear to be resisting weather checking and any signs of aging. Tread wear is excellent.

Wont balance and out of round

In the last two weeks I have had two sets (265/65/17) installed and now they are coming of my 4Runner and being replaced with another brand. I have always heard that Michelin was a top tire, but my experience has been terrible. Two out of four from the last set were out of round and it didn't matter what method of balancing was used (we tried road force and traditional) and it didn't matter. The first set was worse so i expect they had the same problem. Very unhappy with the amount of time and trips to tire shop dealing with bad manufacturing / quality control. Will never purchase again.
