Awesome Tire for all around use

I've changed the tires that came w/ my Honda Pilot to the LTX M/S. We drive onto the beach in DE, w/ 6 other families. We all have these tires. From my stand point; there are 2 big pluses I have seen. When driving onto the beach I only have to drop the pressure down to 25 psi and most of the time I don't have to drive in 4x4. The second feature is the way these tire handle in the wet weather, one word AWESOME! I would recommend thses to a friend, because friends have highly recommened them to me.

GIVE YOUR OLD TIRE A REST...GET THE BEST

The Michelin LTX/MS is the best tire I have ever put on my 4-runner...if you dont believe me ask another persob who driving on Michelin. I PUT THE DEFENDER ON MY 2001 RAV4 AND IT DRIVES THROUGH THE RAIN LIKE ITS NOT RAINING; AND IT STICKS TO THE GROUND LIKE IT'S NOT SNOWING. MICHELIN IS THE KING OF TH ROAD!

Smooth riding, long lasting tread

Use this tire for everyday city/interstate driving also backroads travel, through various different types of terrain. Experienced a smooth ride, traction over the various terrains, and extremely good tread wear. Road noise on paved roads, dependent on surface material is annoying at times overall good.

LTX in P265/70 R18 Nissan Titan

I drive a Nissan Titan and I have been waiting for years waiting Michelin to develop an LTX series of tires that fix my truck. Thank you for making the LTX series of tires in the P265/70 R18 size. I had a set installed on my truck today and I am experiencing an improved ride, better handling, and stronger braking.

Quality Tires

Michelin Tires provide a smooth ride as well as wear at least as good as the mileage warranty. I purchase Michelin for all my cars after the original equipment tires wear out and they are usually the last tire I need. With the price of mounting and balancing tires today why would you want to run a cheap tire and pay this over and over again. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tires I have ever owned!

Worth the cost

When I bought my '01 Tahoe in '07 it had 163K miles. It had LTX/MS all the way around but 2 were worn and 2 were only half worn. I replaced the worn ones and just this year replaced them again with around 255K miles on the truck. I have never had a tire last as long and wear as evenly and drive as well as these! I was hesitant to replace these at first, but I am so glad I did. I have bought a lot of tires over the years, but always considered Michelin to be too expensive. If they last as long as they are supposed to, they are well worth it. The other 2 on the truck were replaced about 50K ago and still have plenty of life. I have no doubt that they will also get to that 90K mark with no problem.

Best Tires EVER Owned

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

was expecting better wear - honestly

Have put on about 20,000 mile on these - medium use and mostly highway. wearing down pretty quickly in less than 1 year. not my previous experience with the Defender tires - they lasted 100k+ miles. Michelin - am questioning why I paid a premium for durability based upon previous performance now. Hopefully they will last. Don't appear to handle dirt/gravel roads as well as advertised/expected. I only buy this brand and this model for my p/u and SUVs. Am reconsidering now with my newest experience.

Great Tires!

My new truck came with Michelin tires when I bought it.. I was impressed by how long they lasted (almost 72000 miles. I probably could have gone more miles but decided with the traveling I do it was time. These tires are definitely "tread worthy" and that is why I just bought another set.

Over 100,000 Miles!

I currently have 104,000 miles on my Michelin LTX-M/S on my 2003 F-250. Most (98%) of my driving is on-road here in SE Pennsylvania. Even with this past winter being the second worst on record for snow fall, the LTX tires with just about 4/32 left on them never left me stranded. I'll be buying another set this fall and will again buy the Michelin LTX-M/S! (my tire size is 285/75R16(D)).
