Good All Around SUV tire

I have had two sets of these tires. One set on a 4x4 4 dr Chevy Blazer and 4x4 GMC Envoy. These tires are great in the slush and snow of upstate New York. I have great confidence driving in 4x4 with my LTX tires. They are well worth the money except i wish they did not wear so fast. Not a great a ride on the highway as the Cross Terrian tires i previously had.

I always buy reliable Michelin Tires!

I do a lot of driving in all kinds of weather and road conditions. Michelin Tires have never let me down, steady and true in a rainy downpour and reliable traction in snow and changing road conditions. Since I usually have children along, their safety is top priority. Thanks to Michelin Tires, I have never had any trouble on the road.

I have driven 79,811 on a set of michelin LTX M/S tires with very even thread wear. I have noticed some sidewall cracks in all 4 tires and the traction is not so good on wet roads now due to thread wear. I guess it is time for a new set. I will buy the same tire again. JR

The vehicle that the ...

The vehicle that the tires are used on is primarily my wife's car. She is a nurse who works the night shift (12hrs) and drives at night and in the early morning hours. My chief priorty is for her safety which I believe is provided through the great road handling abilities of the Michelin tires. In Oregon during the winter months we have a substantial amount of rain and the Michelin tires are designed to easily disperse the water off the edge of the tires. Because of this safety feature there is less likelihood of hydroplaning, especially when it is dark out and you can't see the standing water on the freeway or surface streets. Also because of this design feature, it eleminates the necessity of going to the additional expense of having the tire sipped. There was also a noticeable difference in the handling and performance of the Michelin tires. For safety, performance, and comfort you won't find a better tire in the industry. Period!

"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 Tire Ever

Great tires! They are worth the couple of extra $ to move up to this grade of tire. Quiet and smooth ride. Outstanding handling in all road conditions including rain, snow and ice. Haven't found a thing that I don't like. I've recommended these tires to friends.

I love these tires!

I love these tires. When I say these tires have superior traction, I've had tires for six months and i driven through mud, wet grass and wet pavement and these tires never loss traction. I love them and I recommend them to anybody who drives a truck! One more thing, these tires make a truck look so good!

Great long-lasting tire on my 2003 Ford Excursion. I have over 20,000 miles on these tires and they show no signs of wear. They work well on dry pavement and the grooves are deep enough to handle standing water with no problem. The tread is also agressive enough to handle deep snow. The rubber compound seems soft even when cold to handle ice as well.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions. We hope that you will consider Michelin's as your replacement tires.

LTX MS tires are the best tire that could possibly be used on a SUV or a pickup truck!! I have a 2001 Chevy 4X4 using them,and I also ran a set of them on a Ford explorer for over 100,000 miles! Beat that!! I probably won't win this prize,because of the lack of fancy, flashy wording,But I know what will be my next choice in Tires! LTX MS Michelins!
