Excellent Tire for the Chevy Silverado

I bought this tire a couple of weeks ago and can not believe the difference this tire has made in the performance of my Silverado. It doesn’t feel like the same truck. Ride, steering, tracking in dry, wet and off road conditions is Excellent, with no noticeable noise. This is a very comfortable riding tire for a truck. Highly recommend these tires. Defender LTX M/S 275/50R22 111H.

This is my 4th set of the LTX MS, My last set had 85,000 miles on them and had a 1/4" of tread left. These tires give an exceptional ride and balance, on my 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. I will not buy a tire for any of my vehicles unless they are Michelin. High quality, zero problems and peace of mind.

Very good wet and dry ...

Very good wet and dry traction. Great braking and roadholding and handling until the tread is literally gone. Good tread life, but not what I might have expected for the price and considering the vehicle is a midsize SUV that is driven mostly by my wife. The vehicle tended to wander more at low to medium speeds with these tires than with the previous (OEM) set, but that wasn't noticeable at highway speeds. They are very quiet and smooth for a light truck tire with an M/S rating and a rather agressive tread profile.

Poor tread wear. Only 4/32nds left at 39k miles.

This is the 3rd set of Michelin tires I have purchased. I have been sold on them for years. I purchased these in Feb 2017 for my wife's 2002 Ford Ranger Tremor. This is the second set that's been on her truck. My truck also has a set on it. The last set lasted 60k miles when I replaced them. I researched your site for the "New" Defender LTX M/S replacement tires with 70k mile tread wear warranty that supposedly lasts longer than the old LTX M/S 2 tires I replaced. I was "SOLD". Sadly the new tires have 39k miles on them and only have 4/32nds tread left on all 4 tires. I had the front end rebuilt with new control arms, drove it to tire store with old tires, bought new tires and had the alignment done. I rotate the tires myself every other oil change, done at 3k miles for a 6k mile total on tires. I keep the tire pressure checked year round and have had the alignment checked twice since buying them. They are all wearing even across the tire with no cupping or uneven wear showing. I am disappointed that I now need new tires again with just over half the miles warranted. I will contact your company to see how good the warranty is as I have been a loyal customer. Thank you. P.S. We love the ride quality and no road noise of these tires too. Just don't last. Sad!

these tires lasted ...

these tires lasted 130,000 miles and still were not quite down to the wear bars. vehicle is a 2000 ford explorer and while i did not beat them up this suv is not babied either. even late in the tread life they performed extremely well in the rain and snow. the new LTX M/S 2's are even better starting and stopping in the rain. i do not believe that there is a better tire on the market, at least in this application.

Vibration? Get these Road Force balanced, TRUST ME

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

Great Tires!!

This is my 2nd set of Defender LTX M/S tires for my 2008 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. I'm surprised to read that the latest reviews all comment about the road noise! One of the reasons I love these tires is because they are very quite!!! I've never had any road noise with either set of tires. I used to work out of state and had to make a 350 mile round trip each week. My first set held up so well that I basically had to replace them due to dry rot from age and not from wear. They work well in the rain and don't hydroplane easily.

I have had 2 sets of ...

I have had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires, size P215/70R15 on my 2000 GMC Safari RWD van. The first set lasted more than 60,000 miles, and I was so pleased with the ride quality, even wear, traction under all conditions, and handling characteristics that I replaced them with an identical set when the tread wore to about 4/32 and the second set is just as good as the first. The van handles snow, icy roads, and rain with ease, and the vehicle rides smoother than with the original equipment Uniroyal Tiger Paws. These tires can be a little bit noisy on some types of concrete (they sing a little) but this is an uncommon occurrence, and overall they ride smooth, quiet, and secure. I will buy another set without question when the time comes. Neither the Safari or the tires show any signs of wearing out. I strongly recommend these tires for any light truck use, The outlined white letters add a touch of sportiness and set off the polished aluminum wheels nicely.

I got over 70,000 miles on my M/S truck tires and a lot of that was pulling a 3,000 lb utility trailer. The tire has an excellent ride and provided great traction in heavy rain or off road. I have replaced them with the newer M/S2 and expect them to last just as long.

Excellent

Best tire brand ever. I've purchased at least 5 sets over the years. It started when I couldn't get the vibration out one of my trucks, my tire guy said try Michelin tires. That solved the issue and I got 90000 miles out of that set. It's the only tire I'll ever buy for safety and peace of mind.
