I have owned 3 Yukons ...

I have owned 3 Yukons over the past 15 yrs. I have shod them with Michelin LTX's every time. These tires are great, terrific wear and great traction. They ride great and rarely need rebalancing due to vibration and I am picky on wheel vibration. I have been so impressed by the LTX that when I traded for my last new Yukon I insisted the dealer replace the OEM tires wih my 20,000 mi old LTX's or the deal was off. They did. They may cost a bit more upfront but their long term performance offers greater cost benefit.

Bought these for my ...

Bought these for my wife's 02 explorer sport. Wanted a tire to handle slick wet roads and slight off-road conditions. Tires have preformed beyond expectation. I even took them through truck size mud holes to see what they could handle. Tires held grip very well and tread stayed clear of debri. Same for snowy roads, good all around performer. I feel better knowing that my wife is riding around on tires I can depend on. They are amazing and suprized me with their rough and tough ability even though they look mild mannered.

Wear out too fast twice

This tire has worn out at 33,000 miles for the 2nd time. I'm tired of getting a 2nd set at a reduced price. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles so it is not my fault. Disappointed in a company I thought made a decent tires. Thinking about looking elsewhere!

Where the rubber meet the road

I drive my vehicle 100+ miles every day. I've ran over debris that should have damaged or destroyed my tires. To this day I can honestly say that I only have one(1) damaged area on my tires which has not impaired the driveability or road worthiness of the tires. The make and model of my vehicle was not truly designed to provide a comfortable ride, but ever since I installed the Michelin LTX M/S my vehicle handles better than expected. The tread wear on my tires has exceeded my expectations and I'm not done yet. Whatever you did to make the LTX M/S please don't change the formula because that's a darn good tire.

Hit or Miss

These tires are hit or miss in my opinion. They perform great in snow and ice, but the My first set lasted maybe 25,000 miles, while the second set have 50,000 miles on them and still look brand new. I was told the reason why my first set wore out so quickly is because my tie rods needed to be replaced and this voided the warranty. Not sure if that's true or not, but the original set had little pieces of rubber chunking off regardless if they were on the front or back.

Disappointed

My first set of Michelins ( I am 62 yrs old ) Defender LTX M/S. Everything was great around town and local roads. Then I took a trip to Los Angeles. The rain grooves cut in the freeway caused this model tire to wander and follow the grooves. This was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was constant steering wheel adjustments. I guess the wrong tire for my truck.

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.

Pretty disappointing tire

Have had these tires for 6 years now on a 2002 Nissan Xterra. Got them for the mileage warranty and the supposed superior traction. These tires have about 30,000 miles on them and only have 4/32nds left of tread. Definitely did not make the 70,000 miles. They never got any flats though. They have been decent tires in wet weather and snow, but nowhere near dedicated snow tires. They were fairly quiet brand new, but got much louder as they wore down. After 6 years and being on a car that is outside almost all the time, they have developed a good amount of age cracking which is expected from really any tire that sits out in the sun, rain, heat, and cold like they do. For the price of the tire, though, you can get other tires that are nearly the same for much less money. I don't think I'll purchase another set of these tires.

70K Maintenance-Free Miles

Only now am I forced to replace the front tires, and that's primarily due to my AWD 4Runner's tendency to abuse the front rubber (and a September registration renewal). Rear tires have 15K+ miles of tread remaining, and this is from a guy who pays little attention to air pressures. Michelin has never disappointed me, and even though there are less expensive options, they are also cheaper in almost every respect. My next purchase will be another set of Defenders, without question.

Great Ride, high mileage

This is my second set of Michelins. The first set got me close to 60,000 miles, and I am hoping to get the same out of the 2nd set. These tires are smooth, quiet and offer a very comfortable ride. They are a little more expensive than other brands but they last longer so it actually saves you time and money in the long run.
