Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

These tires are worth their weight in gold when it comes to durabilty, wear, and ride. I used to only buy Michelin tires until the economy made me feel that I needed to buy a cheaper brand tires. The cheaper tires actually cost me more money over the long run in poor wear and ride. Since putting the Michelin's back on my truck, it handles 100% better.

I owned a set of Michelin LTX MS on my previous pickup which I drove everyday for eight years to different construction sites. I was so impressed with the way the tire wore in the eight years I owned them I put a new set of the same Michelin tires on my next pickup which I have been running for three years now with little sign of wear. When my son bought tires for his truck I suggested he buy the Michelin LTX MS and he did and that's how pleased I am with these tires. Dan

I debated if I should spend the extra money on Michelin tires for my older Ford Expedition but it's my go to vehicle for trips and inclement weather and only has 45 thousand miles on it. It was worth it---tires give a very smooth and quiet ride and are great in rain. This winter I will put them to the test in the snow and ice on a ski trip.

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

I purchased a set of Michelin Defender LTX for my wife's Lincoln today... Wow, What a difference from the OEM Pirelli's that came on it new.. We commented many times about how disappointed we were with all the road noise this Lincoln had.. Little did we know it was the Pirelli's. After two sets of them I wanted to try something else and low and behold, the New Michelin's did the trick. The road noise from the car is sooo much quieter now. I wont be putting Pirelli's back on this car again!

Had 4 of these put on my truck in 2003 and all still have good tread and have had ZERO issues. Changing these out for 4 new Michelins X LT AS just because of age. Decided to go with the other model due to the reviews here and I hope it will not be a mistake.

First accumulating snow in Michigan 2013. From the trip in, to the trip home with new tires; these new LTX m/s made a world of a difference. The sure grip was very noticeable. No where near the slip and slide at stopping or acceleration. Good choice of tires on my Explorer.

I have been purchasing tis type tire since my truck since 2000 and have nothing but great thing to say about the ride, wear and durability of these tire. I have purchased all types of times in almost 40 years and now I am sold on Michelin that they are the only tires I purchase now for my veheciles.

I trust my 4WD Jeep and our lives to our Michelin Tires. In all kinds of weather and road conditions, I have found none any better. The smooth, quiet ride and excellent mileage without having flats are specifics that are important to us. We have no complaints because we chose Michelin as the best and they are!
