Poor tire for dirt road usage.

I have these tires on my 06 4X4 Dodge Diesel and they are not at all to be used on regular dirt roads (not off-roading). I have gotten two flats where the tires were penetrated by a rock. Too expensive for the quality of tire. This tire is designed for people that never get off the highway for anything.

I am on my 2nd set of LTX ...

I am on my 2nd set of LTX MS tires now with over 140,000 miles with 60% tread currentlt on my 2005 GMC Sierra. I can't believe I get 80,000 miles on a set of tires! I prefer the smooth ride of the GMC over the Mercedes, in fact I almost always drive the GMC. Need;ess to say, I am sold on Michelin!

Excellent

Best tire brand ever. I've purchased at least 5 sets over the years. It started when I couldn't get the vibration out one of my trucks, my tire guy said try Michelin tires. That solved the issue and I got 90000 miles out of that set. It's the only tire I'll ever buy for safety and peace of mind.

LTX M/S wears like iron!

I put a set of LTX M/S tires on my 1994 chevy pick-up ten years ago. I have plowed snow, towed a camper, towed a boat and towed a dirt bike trailer. The tires have performed great under all of those conditions. They have good traction without being noisey on the highway but the best thing is they wear like iron! The tires have over 100,000 miles and still have 4/32 of tread left. I'm in the process of rebuilding the truck for my son so it looks like its time for a new set of Michelins.

Snow traction is back!

Had to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus all season tires at 28k miles. They didn’t last long. The major snowfall of the season they had me questioning my Explorer. It’s 4WD and even in the snow mode, traction wasn’t there. Braking was horrible, ABS was kicking in all the time. Felt like I was back to driving my Town Car, and even that dealt with the snow better. The Ford dealer agreed these tires were about done. Weeks later the dealer hooked me up with these tires. No more flat spots. The ride improved, quieter too. Yes I know new tires make a difference. But the old tires weren’t that old. The next snowfall was a big improvement. Traction was back, braking was confident. 1,000 miles with these tires and so far I’m sold this was a smart purchase. 6 inches of unplowed roads this morning and I felt much more confident. Driving smart of course. Cannot say how long these will last but my precious experience of these tires on a ‘99 Tahoe was favorable too. Good tires for this vehicle.

I've driven on Michelin ...

I've driven on Michelin tires since the 70's and have been very happy with all of them. Great styling and tread wear. The current set on my '07 Silverado have 27,500 miles on them and you can barely tell they're used. ( Of course, regular rotation helps ) They are very quiet on the road at any speed. The handling of a full size truck is marginal at best, but these tires can handle anything I can throw at them. I've only been in one emergency braking situation with this truck/tire combination which required hard braking and a quick turn and these tires handled it like a champ. In almost 35 years of owning Michelins, I've never had a manufacture's flaw or any such problem and this current set looks like they will be just as trouble free. I won't ride on anything else but Michelins.

Terrible Tramlining

I have always liked the performance of my Michelin tires but the tramlining on this set is a definite negative. I truly would not have purchase them had I known that it would be this noticeable. I needed new tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I put on about 35K miles a year so I didn't hesitate getting these as I have never had this problem with other Michelin's on my cars. Very irritating considering half of my daily commute is on grooved pavement.

I HAVE USED MICHELIN ...

I HAVE USED MICHELIN TIRES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER-DUTY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 1991. I HAVE AVERAGED OVER 73,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES AND HAVE GOT OVER 80,000 MILES ON THE LAST SET USING REGULAR TIRE ROTATION (UNSING THE SPARE) ON THE LAST SET. I STILL MAY GET ANOTHER 5,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT. MOST OF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN HIGHWAY BUT I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE AVERAGED AROUND 19 MPG ON THIS LARGE TRUCK WHICH I ATTRIBUTE A GOOD DEAL TO THE TIRE QUALITY. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE MICHELIN TIRES AS I BELIEVE THEY PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE FOR MY TIRE DOLLAR.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

I have almost 60,000 ...

I have almost 60,000 miles on these tires. Tread depth shows they should be good for another 15,000 miles. Vehicle is a Ford f-350 crewcab with powerstroke diesel. Very good tread wear for this heavy vehicle. Wet traction is excellent, and winter/snow is very good. I often recommend the LTX M/S to individuals looking for a good all around tire. (LTX M/S 2 is latest edition of this tire and is supposed to have even more of all the things I like about this tire. That WILL BE the next set of tires put on my truck!).
