1.5 years in and now the loudest set of tires

I owned Defenders previously, until 2018 when I replaced them with these current (2011 Highlander SUV). And now at speeds over 40 mph the oscillating sound is so loud and driving me nuts. I read a review when I bought these suggesting they are loud and now I believe it. Don't buy these -I don't know why Michelin can't design a quieter tire for SUVs. They have always been my go-to brand for my sedans.

Second set of LTX M/S on Ford Edge AWD

This is the second set of LTX M/S we have installed on our Ford Edge AWD. We live in an area that receives considerable snow fall. We were so impressed with the first set that we replaced them with another. They are quiet on the highway, provide sound handling, great traction in wet and snow while providing decent wear or longevity. When this set wears out, I'd gladly put on another.

Michelin Defender LTX's on 1 Ton SRW GMC Denali Diesel

Just had my oil changed on my GMC 3500 Duramax SRW. They were checking tire pressure and pointed out that the max tire pressure on my Michelin Defender LTX 265/70R18's on the front of my 1 Ton Truck are 44psi MAX COLD PRESSURE. The rear tires, same size, same tread pattern, same sidewall, same markings, is 80psi MAX COLD PRESSURE. Wow, the only difference i can see on the tires is three little numbers and evidently distinguish tire "rating". A great tire, this is my third set, but buyer beware that you may not be getting the appropriate tire (different speed/weight rated Defender Tires are absolutely mirror images) rated for your vehicle...MY mistake for not checking it AND Michelin's for making the tires exactly the same to the undeducated consumer. Guess that explains the blowout i had on I80 and the destroyed wheel...and thankful that after three trips from Nevada with a trailer in tow twice, once to Delaware, once to Florida, and another to Texas were without an accident...I need to go replace them before i tow my Toyhauler or Gooseneck Eqluipment Trailer again.

I bought my Chevy Tahoe ...

I bought my Chevy Tahoe new in 2005. The dealer had 20" wheels & tires on this vehicle, when I bought it. I put 2 sets of tires on it, & the last set I refused to go with anything but Michelins. What's the saying? "If Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy" Well this Momma is very happy & content!!!!!

Rain or shine, hot or ...

Rain or shine, hot or cold, these tires perform very well. My Rav4 is not an open road vehicle. Despite being a 4wd manual transmission I don't go off road except to pull people out of a ditch. So I can't speak to those situations. Around town I love how my Michelin's have given my Rav4 a great ride that I can be confident about.

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 OEM Tire

These tires are OEM on my Honda Ridgeline. With previous vehicles I have usually changed the original tires when they were coming up for replacement. I have been very impressed with the Michelin tires and will look to get another set at the appropriate time. Handling has been very good and our area has had an abundance of rain, which has been a great test of stability during wet conditions. The LTS M/S tires have been excellent in this regard. Thanks Honda for using these tires on your vehicle. For the first time in 5 vehicles, I will be keeping them.

After using another brand ...

After using another brand tire for 'wet weather' use I tried the LTX M/S tire and found the results fantastic. Much better traction on wet pavement, grass and the ride was improved. The tire performed much better and looks great! I plan to continue using this tire on my truck and tell everyone about the good traction, wear, looks and ride.

Nice tire. Horrid mileage

For my last six vehicles I’ve bought Michilens when it came time to replace originals. Nice ride and good handling. These are the same in that respect. However the mileage dropped immediately and consistently from the original tires. I am averaging 15% to 20% LOWER gas mileage since I had these put on. All that great tread is going to give me is several thousand more miles of less than optimal gas economy.
