3 out of 5 stars review

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.

First 12,000 miles 4++ Stars have performed well!

Bought these Defender LTX M/S for my 14' Subaru Forester 2.5 i , upon recommendation from my local smaller dealer and research ,Is when we decided to up size from 225-60-R17 99H to 225-65-R17 102H so we could get to the Defender LTX M/S vs the Defender T+H, A great decision// for added Tire performance for traction, wet weather traction & braking, snow traction and mixed conditions in the Mid Atlantic region and into W Va travels. Only went with 4++ stars due to only 12k on a 70,000 rated tire is rerasonable and more in line of the performance thus far Yes i have lost about 1-1.5 mpg around town but the performance in handling, stopping and traction improvement locally but also on trips has been noticeable and appreciated. Also about maybe 1 mpg lost on trips has been worth it ,for all the other features we have gained by going with this size and model of Defender. The handling of our Forester has been improved from the OEM Yokahamas 2yrs 24,000 and the P7 All season Plus tires that only game me 32,600 miles for 60,000 mile tire. I rotate these tires every 6,000 miles and having put 12K on them thus far there is no wear noticed. Given the size & gross wt of our Forester SUV , lends to a lighter handling vehicle esp in mixed and snow ; we have gained better driving and performance for this type of SUV which has increased the value to us for our vehicle. I would recommend considering these tires, again I am very pleased with the greater aspect of the tires and getting into the Defender LTX M/S model I plan on updating this review when i get another 12k or on the tire Mark Va

I have had 2 sets of LTX ...

I have had 2 sets of LTX M/S tires on 2 different vehicles and have loved them. Each time I switched from the tire that came on the vehicles to the LTX I experienced an immediate improvement in the ride comfort. I also have had excellent results with wear and performance. In fact I specifically put these on my current vehicle because of my prior experience and they did not let me down despite being a different size tire. They were just as good as before if not better. They have been on my current vehicle for over 50000 miles and are still producing outstanding results. I will continue to use these tires or perhaps the M/S2's in the future.

Rides Smooth

These tires are mounted on my daily driver, a 2007 Chevy trailblazer. It is used mostly for touring, and we had a mild winter last year, but if these are anything like my previous set of Michelin's they will get me where I need to go and do it smoothly and quietly. 15000 miles so far without any signs of wear.

The Best of the best

I have been buying Michelin tires for over 45 years. This is the set has lasted 3 years and perform as good as the first day. The set before this lasted over 9 years. They just don't wear out. If you keep them rotated and balanced and alinement you will get long tread life from them. I love the performance in both on and off the road because I drive up to the ranch on dirt and gravel roads. These tires are the best tire on the market today and are the best I have ever owned. They are smooth and quiet riding on the highway. Don't be fooled by moucho looking brands these tires will out perform any other brand hands down you can take my word on that. I have had very heavy loads in my truck and they handle them very well. These are the best tires made in the world.

I drive a F250 and use to run bias tires because the sidewalls were tougher. I'm on about to get my third set of LT M/S. They are a great tire. Quiet and strong. I usually load about 1,000# to haul every day and the quiet smooth ride is to set example. Never had a tire failure with one and only cut one once. Highly recommended for a personal service vehicle.

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.

Worst riding tire ever

Have used Michelin tires for years and always loved them. Put this tire on a 2014 1500 RAM and they are the worst riding tires I have ever had. I am taking them off and putting on a different brand because I can' stand the ride any longer. My 9 year grand son even asked why the truck rode so bad.

Third set of awesome tires.

This is my third SUV that I have bought the Michelin LTX M/S. They give me great traction and control in the ever changing winter weather in Colorado. I also appreciate the lower amount of road noise in the summer. I have also found that they get better mileage than listed if your driving is non-aggressive. Whenever I go off road for fishing or camping I never worry about road or vehicle control. I always recommend these tires to all my friends that have trucks or SUV's.
