The best tires I've ever purchased!!!!

I purchased my set of four tires on June 21, 2011 before going on vacation with my family. This is my first set of Michelin tires and I can honestly tell you these are the best tires I've ever had. On our trip to Florida from TX, it rained practilly all the way there. I have a long wheel based pick-up and I never experienced any hydroplaning like I have with my other tires. I now have about 40,00 miles on them, and you can hardly see any wear. My wife's SUV also has a set of four on it. I my opionion, these tires are the cream of the crop in the tire industry.

Best tires I ever bought

These tires are used on my Wife's van. They are lasting longer, ride better and they handle weather better than expected. They are a little more expensive then the other brands that I have run before, but their benefits far outweigh the price difference.

I took delivery of a new ...

I took delivery of a new 2004 Chev Tahoe 4WD. Before I picked it up I paid the difference to upgrade to a set of Michelin LTX's. This is not my first time on this model of tire and auto. 89,000 miles later I went back for a new set. The ride even as they get some miles on them is great. They always rebalance beautifully. I'll go for Michelins for my ZO6 Corvette when I wear out the original tires it came with.

"ONLY Tires I will use on my vehicles"

I own 4 vehicles and would use no ther tire. When I buy a new vehicle the very first thing I do is replace the tires with Michelins and sell the others. I find that the warranty,wear and overall feeling of safety given by their use is unsurpassed. Fortunately all my children have followed my lead and spend the little extra for the same terrific results. I highly recommend any Michelin tire, but my favorites have always have been the LTX series since we own suvs and trucks.

15k so far and excellent

We bought two sets of these tires about 15 months ago. The Michelin Defender LTX are wonderful tires for my wife’s 2011 Odyssey van and my 2009 Acura MDX suv. Have road tripped them both 1000’s of miles and they are smooth and quiet and are also great around town whether wet or dry. I took the Acura to the Rocky Mountains and these tires inspire great confidence even through a foot of fresh snow. And quiet on the highway (less than 68db). Plus the 18” version of these tires have 12/32 of tread when new, so they are going to last a long time. Much better for a heavy van and SUV than the “regular” Defenders IMO, since those are built for lighter cars, while the LTX version is for heavier ones like a loaded down minivan (well north of 5500 pounds when loaded with 6 people, 2 dogs, and tons of luggage). Don’t be turned off by the LTX version for your minivan or luxury SUV. They look cool too, are built for a heavy vehicle, and are still super smooth. I have about 15k miles so far on the Acura MDX’s tires. Just drove it 2500 miles round trip with the LTX tires to the Colorado mountains and back through all types of weather: dry and smooth interstate as well as blinding snow a foot deep. They were super smooth and quiet crossing Kansas on the interstate, and never slipped in the Colorado snow. Could not be more pleased. I would recommended this version of tire over the regular Defender for heavier vehicles, since I would not have thought about an LTX tire since one normally thinks about a pickup for an LTX tire. The tires have stayed 100% balanced (as all Michelin tires do!) and wear evenly. Kudos to Michelin for engineering a great tire for all the family vans and SUVs out there.

Excellent all-round tire!

The Michelin MTX M/S is a great all-around tire. After 53,000 miles on these as stock tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, and after extensive on-line research, I decided to replace them with the same tire. They are excellent on the highway, and give a superb feel and control. They also do well in the snow/sleet/rain that we get here in Maryland in the winter. I also take them on a yearly off-road excursion in the Outer Banks, to a beach house that is only accessable by driving on the beach 8 miles each way - this is not a hard-packed beach like Daytona, but just the beach - have never gotten stuck and am sure that I won't. They are a little on the pricey side, but I would rather spend a few extra bucks on tires than on an insurance deductable because I saved a few bucks on tires and got into an accident. Just this past weekend I drove up to New Jersey in a terrible dounpour most of the way, and I felt confident that me and my family were just fine with these tires - no hydroplaning issues and a solid feel. Would definately buy these again. I am a huge fan of the brand - great tires (I have Pilot Sport A/S Plus's on my 04 TL, and they are the best tires I have ever owned).

LTX M/S is a very good tire

I bought the Michelin LTX M/S tire at a local tire dealer several years ago. I don't remember how many miles the tire was suppose to last but when I took them off I had added 94,000 to the truck. After I took them off a friend put them on a trailer. Thanks P.S. They were very good on a wet road.

Michelin Comes Through Again

Tires are very quiet, wear like iron, and have awesome grip. I see all weather conditions in Illinois and every vehicle I own now has Michelin tires on it. I've had a few other brands over the years, but I'm convinced Michelin makes the best. They are definitely worth the extra money!

Great tires great wear

My Honda Ridgeline came with Michelin LTX/MS on them from the factory. After almost 66K miles they were still passing inspection. These are great tires for me and my truck. I just purchased a second set and if I get another 66K miles all is good. The rating was for 60K and we surpassed that. The ride is great and those few times I am off road or in the snow, the perform great. I am one happy customer!

Great tires

I've used these tires on my wife's SUV and my old truck. They're the best tires I've ever bought for heavier vehicles. The tires on my wife's SUV are almost 2 years old and still look like new. I would have traded the truck tires from my old truck to my newer one if they would have fit.
