Extremely Dissatisfied

I purchased a new set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace my worn tires on my Honda CR-V. I did about two months of research and found the Defenders to be the best value for what I needed in snow and highway conditions. I can not express how disappointed I am with the handling and ride comfort of these tires. The slightest gust of wind nearly knocks me off of the road as well as extreme vibrations at 60 - 70 mph. Cornering and fast manuvering is nearly impossible and extremly dangerous at highway speeds. I have had these tires rebalanced twice as well as having my CR-V looked over by the Honda dealership to see if it was a problem with my car. I was told by the dealership that it was the new Defenders I had installed and that there are no issues with my vehicle. This was my first and will be my last Michelin purchase.

These tires are excellent on wet roads and in snow and ice and wear very well. This is hard to beat for skiing and wet conditions. Handling is also good. They do ride a little rougher than the original passenger tires but I consider this an excellent trade off.

Got a good price on these tires over the phone. Salesman switched me to a house brand. We could not get the vibration balanced out after 3 times including a "road force" balance. I insisted he take them off and give me the Michelins for which I originally asked. We installed the Michelins and with one or two tiny weights, instead of all the heavy ones on all the wheels, I have the smoothest ride anyone could ask for. It made me remember the words of a friend who was a service advisor for a car dealer who told people with balance problems, "do yourself a favor and let me sell you some Michelins. In every case it solved the problem. I will ONLY use Michelins!

Nice Tires

I have been very happy with these tires. The road noise is very minimal compared to my last tires. I don't do much off-roading, but on gravel and dirt roads the tires work great. Overall I've been really pleased with these tires. I would recommend these tires to anyone.

overall I really like the tires. They are probably the best tires I have owned so far. I like them so much I just put a set on my mom Pathfinder and it also made a huge improvement over the stock tires. Even my mom said she could feel a big difference.

Long wearing

Good looking, long wearing tire. Whenever I've put LTX M/S on a vehicle those were the last tires I bought for the vehicle. Great traction on the beach. I buy AWD vehicles to drive on the beach, and LTX M/S is the best tire for off road and on road. The only inhibition is price. The most expensive tire you can buy.

Best Tire In Its Class

Compared to other models that are similar to this tire it far exceeds its expectations. The quality and mileage you get out of these tires far exceed the cost. Compared to the other brands out there Michelin Tires are #1. Will never purchase another brand of tire for any of my vehicles! I have and will continue to recommend this brand of tire to friends and anyone who asks for an opinion.

Only Tire to Buy - Michelin

I have Dodge Durango with 221,000 miles on the odometer and I just mounted my THIRD set of MICHELIN LTX M/S tires on my vehicle at about 214,000 miles. With my first set of tires I replaced them with usable tread left after 90,000 miles because I didn't want to go through a Minnesota winter with them. My second set gave me a healthy 70,000 miles wear. These tires are great for all season driving; superb for wet and snow roads, very responsive, quite and comfortable (but they are mounted with Bilstein shocks). I've owned two Durangos before this one and it's the same story with Michelin tires - great mileage and great serviceability. My cars in the past have been Mercedes and Volvo's - and again the same story, great tires with long life and excellent performance a reliable and safe tire. Very best tire made for the general market. None better, worth every penny . . . don't hesitate: Need tires? Save time and just say, - - - MICHELIN.

these tires lasted 130,000 miles and still were not quite down to the wear bars. vehicle is a 2000 ford explorer and while i did not beat them up this suv is not babied either. even late in the tread life they performed extremely well in the rain and snow. the new LTX M/S 2's are even better starting and stopping in the rain. i do not believe that there is a better tire on the market, at least in this application.

I drive 80k to 90k a year towing/hauling from CA, to NV. in a company 3/4 ton truck. Michelin LTX tires gave me handling/braking whenever called upon, loaded or unloaded, If I was in the desert at 112 degree or 90 degree Ca. I felt secure driving on Michelen!
