Great All-Around Tire!

These have been an excellent tire for bonding with the road whether the roads are dry, wet or snow covered. They are quiet and have great wear. I have them on my vehicles and had them installed on my kids vehicles. Worth the investment. Provides peace of mind. I highly recommend !

132.000 unfailing miles

I replaced the almost worn out tires on the used vehicle I purchased thirteen years ago with a set of Michelin LTX M/S. They have performed flawlessly in all kinds of weather in city, highway and trailer towing conditions. The vehicle just turned over 200,000 miles, which would be over 132,000 miles on these tires, and they still have a little tread left. I'm donating the car, but will make sure my next set of tires are Michelins.

will buy this product again

The LTX M/S tire is as good as it gets. The mileage is great along with the traction and water shedding all the way to the minimum tread wear bar. I have bought 3 sets over the years and the mileage was from 90,000 to a high of 103,000 miles on 2 different pick up trucks. I was very skeptical of the wet traction since the wear rate was very low, but to my surprise, the traction never left. Thanks for finding the perfect compromise of wear and traction as I know that having both has been a mystery for years.

Best Tires EVER Owned

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

92000 miles

I purchased a set of these after having cheaper tires cupping and camber wear. I now have 92000 miles (25000 of those towing) on them and they still have thousands of miles left to go. They look brand new and dont wear irregularly like cheaper tires. Incredibly quite and smooth ride.

Smooth Ride

I didn't have time to have tires installed although I knew I wanted Michelins, so I asked my wife to take the car to get the tires replaced. When she walked in she said the car is different, you better drive it. When I drove it, I thought, how could a set of tire make such a big improvement in a car's driving & handling - it was the Michelins smooth ride.

The first thing I noticed ...

The first thing I noticed was the Jeep Liberty these tires were mounted on, would start to roll forward when the vehicle was placed in gear. A new experience since the original equipment tires just sort of sat still and always needed a little nudge on the accelerator to get into motion. Secondly, the original equipment tires would squeal in tight turns even at very slow (essentially) walking speeds. Not so at all with the Michelins. Third, handling and control of the Jeep has improved. They've only been mounted on my vehicle for a couple of weeks, but I;m definitely very enthused with their performance By the way, my 2000 Buick has Michelins and my 2005 Winnebago motorhome came with them as original equipment, and they have performed flawlessly in their first 45000 miles of service.

3 sets of Michelins all exceeded Warranty Milage

Dear Sir or Madam: Back in 2004 I purchased my Nissan pathfinder Armada LE a 6500 lb SUV. After Trying other Brands I and being gravely disappointed on how poorly the tires lasted, I purchased my first set, my second set and now my 4th set of Michelin Tires. The Armada now has 240,000 miles on it. A lot of miles in the rearview mirror, but my Michelin lasted well past the Warranty stated at purchased. And yes I used Nirogen, and did the rotations and alignments and balancing etc. And Hocus Pocus they lasted, well past the warranty milage...So the "Beast" just keeps rolling. best Regards, Gray Ghost, Raleigh NC

The Best Tires

I use these these tires on my personal and work trucks. they are the quietest, smoothest, and most dependable tires I can buy. They cost more than other tires however, I cannot afford to have my trucks out of service for any ammount of time. If I can prevent time loss by spending a little more up front, then I can save a whole lot in the long run.

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.
