Long life

My Michelin Defender LTS M/S are now 83,000 miles and 5 years old and still have a few hundred miles left over. I keep very good care of them and rotate them every oil change. With time tires get hard and performance gets compromised so with this heavy rains is better to change. If you get such a long life is not such a big investment at all. I strongly recommend this tire which was the OEM on my F150.

Very Noisy and rough ride

I bought these tires less than a year ago, I have put about 4,000 miles on them and I really dislike them. There is no smooth ride and they are so noisy it's frustrating. I was told by the tire shop to give them some time since they are new but there has been zero change. I don't even like driving my vehicle anymore because of the tires. I really wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately aside from the warranty I would never recommend these to anyone.

I had hoped to keep my ...

I had hoped to keep my truck until I wore the tires out. My engine went first. I advised my son to try them. He did. Now he can't wear them out, and he needs to trade his SUV. They don't have the size for my new truck, so I intend to go to the LTX-MS2. They aren'yt cheap, but I don't want any other. I put Michelin on all my vehicles and haven't had a problem for years. I am alwaysn looking for a deal, so....

Really Great Road tires for a truck/suv

2018 Frontier PRo-4x. Replaced OEM tires with these since i am not a true off roader, and mainly on highway. I picked up 2mpg+ with these. Rolling resistance is awesome, stopping ,and more importantly cornering is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better. Great road Manners. Slightly stiffer than the softwall off road tires i had. But these work just nice. not to mention, they can go to 80psi???? WOW... NOT that iw ould do that. My first set was bad, the dealer did a warranty claim, and as soon as i rolled out i knew right away how great these were. Makes the truck more of a nice commuter truck now, with the ability to "trucK" when needed. I really do enjoy these, and the improved gas mileage is with the AC on all the time soo, so perhaps 3mpg or so improvement.... This replacement set used way less weights, and again these tires really do look so nice. Gives the truck an upscale "gentlemans" look if you get my point. GREAT road manners, it's still a truck, but GREAT road manner improvements.

Best light truck tire on the market!

These tires were purchased for daily commuting in our Honda Pilot. The m/s's ride and handle better than any other light truck tire on the market. The only downside to these tires is the price. As in most other cases, you get what you pay for. I am very happy with them and will purchase another set when these need to be replaced.

Wears evenly and drives smooth

This is our second set of LTX M/S tires for our E350 van. Fortunately we like them...as there aren't other options. The first set lasted approximately 65K miles, and through at least a couple of screw/nail patches in the tread in several of the tires. We did make sure to rotate them every time we had the oil changed which more than likely prolonged the life of them. (Imagine that, following the mfg instructions!) Hopefully this set will last us for another 4-5 years as well!

I did a tremendous amount of comparison shopping before buying these tires. I was very disappointed in the tires that came on my new vehicle. They literally roared while going down the road. It was also difficult to steer. It sounded and felt like the bearings on my truck were completely wore out (with only 35,000 miles on the truck). When I put the Michelin tires on, all the noise and steering issues went away. It is amazing what a difference a tire can make. I am a loyal customer of Michelin brand tires. After over 25 years of driving, I have never had a bad experience with any Michelin product. Michelin is the only tire I buy.

You make a GREAT tire!!!

My first set of this tire lasted through 130,000 miles and I am now on my second set of the same one. Traction in snow is far beyond reasonable expectation...they are reasonably quiet and comfortable...the best I can find for my Explorer. What more can I say? I have absolutely no complaints and have even convinced my wife to put Michelins on her Honda.

FANTASTIC OEMs on 2010 Honda Pilot

These OEMs are the original set of tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, which now has 65,000 miles so far. There is still approx. 10,000 of remaining tread wear. I rotate these tires each time I service my vehicle, and the tread wear is very even across the tire, with no difference in wear between front/rear tires. Tire tires are very reliable, score highly in all categories, and they hep keep the vehicle moving straight. In other words, they don't cause annoying radial pulls, to the left or right, like some tire have a tendency to do. Off-Road traction is good, for the few times I've been in snow/ice, or up an down grassy hilly parking lots at sporting functions. I will buy these exact tires when replacing my OEM set.

These tires came as standard equipment on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. At 85,000 miles they needed to be replaced. The folks at the tire dealer thought I was crazy for putting such expensive tires on an older truck, but I told them that I planned to drive it until this set of tires wear out and I would be making money with the more expensive tire.
