LTX M/S Tires Are Great!

I purchased four LTX M/S tires approximately 18 months ago. Since then, I have put approximately 15,000 miles on them. To date, the tires have consistently given us a smooth ride and are wearing quite well. Based upon the price I paid for these four tires, I can definitely state that I am receiving a good value for the price I paid.

quiet and comfortable

I have had these tires for about 2 years. I have driven from Illinois to California 2 times. They are quiet and comfortable. The tread looks nearly new after all those miles. I rotate and keep proper air pressure and the tire does the rest! Thank you for making my SUV a pleasure to drive.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions. We hope that you will consider Michelin's as your replacement tires.

outstanding tire

although i've only had this set of michelin ltx m/s tires for less than six months, what i've noticed so far is the smoothness and quietness of the ride they seem to provide. obviously, at less than six months old, there is no visible ware whatsoever. i'm happy with the tires and if they give me close to their warrantied life i'll likely buy another set.

Not as good as they used to be

This is my third set of LTX/MS tires. the first two were great, over 60,000 miles, but this set has sidewall cracks after 25,000 miles. I don't hit curbs, so I don't know why they are forming. I want to buy a new set, but need more than 25,000 miles for the price I paid.

I'm in love with these ...

I'm in love with these 'truck" tires on my 1996 Cadillac (Fleetwood Broughm). No Michellin tires were on the recommended list by Michellin, so I had to make my own choice from the technical information given to me by Michellin. My driving is mostly on asphalt roads, but about 20% of is on rutted gravel in the North Carolina mountains, and I feel very safe driving on these heavy treads. Also, my mileage is excellent on highways, much beyond tires I drove on two changes prior. And, getting 60,000 miles on these tires is not bad either. Also, driving on rain slick roads puts me in the confident column; they hold well! Altogether, couldn't be better! Keep it up Michellin

I have had this model tire on every vehicle I have owned. I am on my 5th vehicle and the 4th van / truck. The first and second vehicle was a small passenger car and a small van. These tires last and I not only fully trust them but I get my money's worth.

Smoothest!!!

These are the smoothest riding tires I have had on my 4x4 pickup since I purchased it in 2002. One of the things that amazed me the most was that when they were mounted and balanced, only one of the four tires needed a small weight to balance. The rest required no weights at all!!! Still no weights added at the subsequent rotations and rebalances!! Quality! Quality! Quality! My first set of Michelin's and certainly not my last!!!!!

I really like the tires. My vehicle is a 2006 Buick Rainier 2WD. It came new with Michelin Cross Terrain Tires. I replaced the original itres at 46,000 miles! These tires ride just as good to me as the original Cross Terrains! I love my Michelins. I commute 43 miles one way to work every day! I want a dependable tire!

Will never buy a different tire!

I got these in 2018, they've been through 6 seasons now. I'll never buy another tire; these are amazing. We have seriously hot summers and seriously cold winters here in the Badlands; temperatures go from +110 to -40. The Defenders haven't even blinked. Snow, ice, off-road, deep mud, highway; they're a great ride with great traction. They're not the quietest tire; then again, if you want a serious all-season tire and tread, noise is something you learn to live with. Quiet tires can't grip for anything. I'm sorry so many others have had issues; these tires have never let me down. I'm hoping they'll still be this good when I need another set.
