Not as good as they used to be

This is my third set of LTX/MS tires. the first two were great, over 60,000 miles, but this set has sidewall cracks after 25,000 miles. I don't hit curbs, so I don't know why they are forming. I want to buy a new set, but need more than 25,000 miles for the price I paid.

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 Value in Tires

I purchased this set of tires in 2006 and they have provided excellent service. The mileage and traction these tires provide is the best of any other tire I have owned. This set of tires has 60,000 miles plus and are still going. I regularly tow my boat with this SUV and found there traction both on the road and at the boat ramp to be very good.

Really Great Road tires for a truck/suv

2018 Frontier PRo-4x. Replaced OEM tires with these since i am not a true off roader, and mainly on highway. I picked up 2mpg+ with these. Rolling resistance is awesome, stopping ,and more importantly cornering is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better. Great road Manners. Slightly stiffer than the softwall off road tires i had. But these work just nice. not to mention, they can go to 80psi???? WOW... NOT that iw ould do that. My first set was bad, the dealer did a warranty claim, and as soon as i rolled out i knew right away how great these were. Makes the truck more of a nice commuter truck now, with the ability to "trucK" when needed. I really do enjoy these, and the improved gas mileage is with the AC on all the time soo, so perhaps 3mpg or so improvement.... This replacement set used way less weights, and again these tires really do look so nice. Gives the truck an upscale "gentlemans" look if you get my point. GREAT road manners, it's still a truck, but GREAT road manner improvements.

I am on my second set of these tires and I would not buy anything else. They have been the most reliable and high quality tire I have ever had on a vehicle. On both sets, I have gotten well over the estimated miles. The ride is great and I appreciate Michelin's desire to have the best product possible. Hooray for Michelin.

Not sure what these other reviews are complaining about

I have used bought 2 sets of Defender LTX M/S for my 2013 Toyota Highlander and each time I have been very pleased with both the wear and performance of these tires. First set lasted around 70-80K miles and the current set has been on for ~20K miles and look barely used. These tires have lasted much better than the Bridgestone tires that originally came on the vehicle and also ride much smoother. Just got back from a road trip (8 hours there, 8 hours back) and several times literally thought to myself how pleased I was with the smoothness of the ride. I can only guess that the other reviewers with poor reviews are either fake or there is some other issue other than the tires (wheel alignment or bent rim or installation issues). I use Michelin on all of my vehicles and I have recommended Defenders to multiple of my friends based on my experience with these tires and all of them have been very pleased also.

Rain or shine, hot or cold, these tires perform very well. My Rav4 is not an open road vehicle. Despite being a 4wd manual transmission I don't go off road except to pull people out of a ditch. So I can't speak to those situations. Around town I love how my Michelin's have given my Rav4 a great ride that I can be confident about.

Best tire ever owned!

An exceptional light truck tire! Good handling, great ride, outstanding durability. I got over 86,000 miles and almost eight years of trouble free service out of the original equipment LTX M/S tires that came on my '06 Honda Ridgeline. Could not ask for more from a tire - replaced them with an identical set.

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.

Pricey tire

These tires replaced the original set of Michelins which had been on my truck for six years. Did not wear the originals out, they simply dry rotted. The new set rides extremely well, brakes well and performs in all types of weather. Of course being in Alabama have not experienced snow or ice. Would definitely purchase another set and do recommend to friends.
