Have 60,000 miles on set ...

Have 60,000 miles on set of Michelin tires on heavy Diesel pick up and going strong. While pricing out new set was advised that have a good 15,000 left on tread. Has been mostly highway miles but towing RV trailer for half of it. Good handling and traction for highway tread. Fourth set of Michelins and will buy again.....

Best tires I have ever owned

I bought 4 new tires from my local car dealer. The tires perform in all types of weather with excellent grip. In addition, the tires have given me great wear, they currently have 45,000 miles and still show a significant amount of tread. There is no road tire noise of any kind and I get great mileage. So, in summary, very safe, great wear, no noise, great mileage and no required maintenance (other than allignment). Yes, I will buy them again.

The best tires I have ever owned

I have been utilizing the Michelin LTX MS tire on my 2002 LX470 for the last 11 years. I have 136,000 miles on the vehicle and am on my second set of tires, which still have good tread on them. I use the vehicle for just about everything, from going camping, to the beach and running around town on errands. The vehicle has constant all wheel drive, so I expected the tires to not have as much life, clearly this is not the case. I currently am in the process of procuring a new set of these, not because of the tread or sidewall appearance, but due to the number of years and miles they have on them,(over 66,000) I feel it is time from a safety standpoint. Aside from longevity, they handle exceptionally well,especially for a vehicle of this size and weight. The traction is true and devoid of that "greasy" feel I have noticed in other tires over the years. Bottom line is, Michelin has done an outstanding job with this product line..don't change a thing.

Michelin Best & Worst Tire

I have bought the Defender LTX MS tires for 3 separate vehicles that I have owned over the last three years and folks I can tell you, this specific Michelin is nothing short of a nightmare for me and my family. If or when you do find a good set of four, the ride quality is nothing short of phenomenal, but be warned, you might have to go through 12 of these tires to find four that is not defective. The reason why I keep buying this model is the fact that when you do find a good set, they are the most comfortable and with extremely low noise, because as good as the other models of Michelin tires are, most of them are extremely noisy. I have used countless other models of Michelin tires and kind of gave up on them due the high levels of noise, but other than high noise level, they were excellent all round tires. Michelin really need to spend more time in scrutinizing their quality because which ever factory they are using to make this specific model, they are way off the mark. The vibration from the defective ones are so bad that there are times when driving down the highway that I look over at other drivers to see their reaction if they can see my vehicle shaking. Due the vibration issues, I have even been trying to find this exact model tire in the European market, so I could have them ship here to me in the USA, because I was told the Michelin tires that are made in France are of higher quality. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have this in Europe. Michelin should be ashamed to put out this poor quality tire with their name on it.

I started using Michelin ...

I started using Michelin Tires 8 years ago. This brand is the only tire I can say will actually last it's mileage and then some. The last set I had, lasted 6 years, and when I had them replaced, the mechanic could not believe how old they were and how many miles they had.

Michelin Tires for Pickup Trucks

The current set of Michelin Tires have been on my pickup truck for over five years. The tires have performed flawlessly. I just returned from a 5450 mile trip towing a 4500 pound camper. The tires provide excellent traction in all conditions. I recommend Michelin tires for use on pickup trucks.

Great tires! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased a set of Defender LTX M/S tires for our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. Could not be happier! Smooth quiet ride, with very good handling. Recently traveled about 1400 miles over varying types of road surfaces and mountain driving. Felt a lot more comfortable coming down the steep and winding mountain roads that we have traveled many times so very familiar with those roads. Nice looking tires as well. Have not tried rain or snow yet so only rating performance based on dry roads.

Performance and Safety

I expect high performance out of my Michelin Tires, and that is what they deliver. In tight curves they hold the road, in rainey conditions they hold the road, when breaking they hold the road, I would only trust Michelin with my family on board. They deliver year after year, and seem to hardly ever wear out. Each new set of Michelin's that I buy, seems to last longer than the last ones. In any of my vehicles, Michelin is the only brand that I would trust.

One Heck of a Tire!

This is the second vehicle that I have used Michelin Tires on and I trust them and feel secure with them on my vehicle. My home is in the woods, with horrible road conditions in the winter and spring, and I have to have a tire that I know won't let me down. I love how they ride even on the highway when I go see my grandchildren. I know, and feel very confident that I have a tire that is dependable and will hold up to my roads! I live on a fixed income and when I buy these tires I know that I am getting the best for my money! I highly recommend these tires to everyone.

will buy this product again

The LTX M/S tire is as good as it gets. The mileage is great along with the traction and water shedding all the way to the minimum tread wear bar. I have bought 3 sets over the years and the mileage was from 90,000 to a high of 103,000 miles on 2 different pick up trucks. I was very skeptical of the wet traction since the wear rate was very low, but to my surprise, the traction never left. Thanks for finding the perfect compromise of wear and traction as I know that having both has been a mystery for years.
