Best tires for towing heavy loads

I have had several sets of these tires over 15 yrs of towing my boat following the Salmon runs of 2 Greatlakes. As the years gone by the boats have gotten bigger requiring heavier pickups to pull them. My current boat is 14,000 LBS and pull it with a single wheel GMC 3500 HD Diesel. I fish alot and towed alot, these tires are rock solid for the serious towing vehicle that tows more than a few miles to the ramp. They're not All-Terrain tires, All Terrains couldn't hold up to the heat and abuse these things are subjected to in my application. If you're looking for a long lasting heavy duty no worries tire for your investment this is it. If not get a set of nobby All -Terrains for the sound.

Michelin Defender LTX M&S never disappoints

You get what you pay for, and the Michelin Defender LTX M&S are by no means the cheapest tire out there. I have tried many other brands of tires, but always come back to this one. If you looking for smooth, quiet ride, good traction & long wear look no further. Over 10K miles driven so far, I fully expect to get nearly 50K out of every set and I never let the tread levels wear down completely on my tires. I drive a mix of highway miles, windy mountain roads, rocky/dirt/gravel roads, rain and snow and these tires hold up better than all the rest.

Should have known to always buy Michelin....

I have Michelins on 2 of 3 of my trucks. I decided to 'save a few bucks' and went with Bridgestones. I was not happy with the performance since day one. They lasted about 40k miles and were horrible. Two of them leaked and had to be pumped up weekly. I'm back on to Michelins and I won't stray again!

On my Sierra 1500, I ...

On my Sierra 1500, I managed to get 105,000 miles out of my first set. On the second set, I achieved 85,000 on the set, but only replaced the two rear tires. The front two appeared to have 50% tread left. I drove the back two over inflated for too long after hauling a heavy load and inflating the tires to compensate. Great Tires.

Very Pleased With Performance

I was actually thinking about the comfort and the smooth ride I get with these Tires and I like them enough to buy again. The cracking and appearance of My old one's is rushing Me, I'm only at 50% or maybe 40% tread, I would be able to get another Season or 2 at least.....it'd be worth the money then.

CReaM, we'd suggest that you have the tires inspected by a Michelin retailer in your area to get more info on the cracking. Call us at 866-866-6605 from their store. One of our Consumer Care Team members can assist you.

Performance and Safety

I expect high performance out of my Michelin Tires, and that is what they deliver. In tight curves they hold the road, in rainey conditions they hold the road, when breaking they hold the road, I would only trust Michelin with my family on board. They deliver year after year, and seem to hardly ever wear out. Each new set of Michelin's that I buy, seems to last longer than the last ones. In any of my vehicles, Michelin is the only brand that I would trust.

Great tires, comfort ride.

I drive about 100 miles a day and I am completely satisfied with these tires. The ride is smooth and quiet. I would recommend these to anyone and I have. We don't get alot of rain in southern california but when we do I feel sfae and insured that these tires will maintain traction and controlability.

Worth the cost

When I bought my '01 Tahoe in '07 it had 163K miles. It had LTX/MS all the way around but 2 were worn and 2 were only half worn. I replaced the worn ones and just this year replaced them again with around 255K miles on the truck. I have never had a tire last as long and wear as evenly and drive as well as these! I was hesitant to replace these at first, but I am so glad I did. I have bought a lot of tires over the years, but always considered Michelin to be too expensive. If they last as long as they are supposed to, they are well worth it. The other 2 on the truck were replaced about 50K ago and still have plenty of life. I have no doubt that they will also get to that 90K mark with no problem.

Past performance makes the choise easier

Have had Michelin on many vehicles over the past years, 2 weeks ago put new ones on my wifes suv and today getting new ones on my S 10 pick up. I like the wear, performance and overall constrution, you get what you pay for! There was no need to compare with other brands, my past experience and auto back ground makes the choise simple, Michelin!
