At 24,000 miles, I replaced the original equipment tires on my 2000 Jeep Wrangler with Michelin LTX M/S. At 127,000+ miles, I was "forced" to replace that set of Michelins with another set just like the other Michelins! Do the math! What more can I say?

I have been running Michelin LTX M/S tires since the purchase of my first 4Runner in 1998. They are quite, hug the road in all weather conditions, long lasting and smooth driving. They are without a doubt the best tire I have ever run. I won't buy anything else.

I have a pair of these on my 99 ram 2500 (24v cummins) i do over the road transport hauling a enclosed car trailer, I rack up lots of miles and often go from new england through the mid west, sometimes to california and back, so i cover lots of terain, and tempatures, the tires have NEVER failed me, the ware evenly, grip well, ride smothly even under the stress of a load, and when the trucks empty they handle high speeds well ( the truck has some mods on it invcluding a smarty tuner) I will definatly buy another pair of these tires when they warout, i read some other peoples reviwes on this tire, it's a shame some have had dryrot problems, I have some very minor dryrot on my side walls, but not enough to compromise the tire, I find that using armorall on them frequently seems to help as it has rubber conditioners, though i don't these other peoples individual stories, I suppose it could be location, or lack of use, but in any case, I can only speak to my experience which has been great 5 stars from me!

YOU CAN FEEL THE DIFERENCE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE TIRE ON CURVES,WHEN THE ROAD IS WET AND HAS A SOFT FEELING WHEN ON BUMMPY ROADS ..ALL AROUND, NO OTHER TIRE HAS THE SAME SOFT RIDE AND PERFORMANCE CONBINED TOGETHER.AND PERFECT TRACCION ON WET PAVE...

i bought these for wifes cadillac xt5 with 235/55/20's about 1000 miles on them, they seem louder, stiffer, than the Michelin Premiers that came with the vehicle??? are they desinged for larger vehicles or something? i have about a week left to exchange them for a different tire they seem to be a great tire but maybe for larger vehicles???

I just bought another set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Ford Explorer. My last set lasted more than 15 years and 89000 miles and still had 7mm or original tread left. Good running for all those years. No cupping or other problems at all until recent slow leaks developed. I have been buying only Michelin tires for the last 45 years and will never buy another brand.

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.

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

I was not surprised at the quality of Michelin and these tires but I was however surprised by how much longer they lasted than advertised. They lasted over 100K miles. I drive a heavy vehicle about 35K miles per year in all types of severe conditions (highway, mountain roads, towing a trailer, heavy city traffic-stop and go, etc.) These tires never let me down in at all. I WILL purchase again.

My new truck came with Michelin tires when I bought it.. I was impressed by how long they lasted (almost 72000 miles. I probably could have gone more miles but decided with the traveling I do it was time. These tires are definitely "tread worthy" and that is why I just bought another set.
