Love these tires!!

I have had such great luck with all of the Michelin tires I have ever bought. These tires hold up very well to all types of road conditions. I feel confident in driving any of our vehicles when I put Michelin tires on them in all types of weather conditions. The light truck tires I most recently bought have done very well on less than great road conditions. I am a customer of Michelin tires for life!!!!

Have been using various ...

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

Good Tires

They are simply, very good all around tires. I had purchased 2 used LTX tires previously and I was shocked at how many miles I drove on them? So when I could afford to purchase new tires I got LTX and they have been great! they are quiet, ride well, good traction, I don't know what else I could say? I would buy them again.

LXMS TIRES

The first set of michelin tires on my vehicle lasted seven years. They were still in good condition (no stress lines or marks), so much that the tire dealer wanted to know if I really wanted to get new ones. He said they would be sold as used tires quickly because they were still in good condition. The second set of michelin tires on my vehicle lasted nine years. I just got new ones this year. The old ones taken off had a few stressed lines. Overall the tires were still in good condition. Michelin tires are the only ones I will purchase to put on my vehicle. They are the best! They have long ware, good balance, smooth drive, and overall trouble free. I love my michelin tires! They give me great service for years! It is what I need, excellent quality for my money.

Excessive road noise

I bought these tires in late November 2019 for my 2017 GMC Sierra Denali and have put roughly 4,000 miles on them. I have always been a Michelin fan and have several different Michelin tires on different vehicles throughout the years. I am, however, extremely disappointed in this set of tires due to the excessive road noise. Road noise seems to be magnified when taking corners or bends in the road.

Love my Michelins

With almost 150,000 miles on my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, I just recently installed my third set of Michelins. Even though we also own a 2012 Ford Explorer, we always drive the older Tahoe on trips because the Explorer came with another brand of tires that assure we hear and feel every crack in the highway. My Michelins are smooth and quiet, and they make my wife and I feel safer when driving in rain. At age 67, I have tried many different brands of tires over the years and have learned the hard way that when it comes to buying tires, it is not only wise to buy the best, but the extra long tread life makes it the best economic decision as well. Love my Michelins!!!

Great Miles

My 07' Honda Ridgeline came equipped with the LTX M/S tires when new, when I replaced the original tires with new LTX M/S tires the original tires had been driven in excess of 92,000 miles and were not yet worn to the wear bars. I personally rotated the tires according to Honda's recommended intervals and maintained the correct pressure @ 31 psi. No repairs were needed throughout entire the life of the original tires. The Honda Ridgeline is known to be a bit-road-noisy so I don't feel I can be objective on the issue of road noise for this tire. Yep on recommending this tire, I brag on it all the time. The Ridgeline is a 4X4 all wheel drive, I hunt in the Big Cypress Swamp-Florida Everglades-and have a permit to use my truck, so far I haven't needed assistance. Cheers

15k so far and excellent

We bought two sets of these tires about 15 months ago. The Michelin Defender LTX are wonderful tires for my wife’s 2011 Odyssey van and my 2009 Acura MDX suv. Have road tripped them both 1000’s of miles and they are smooth and quiet and are also great around town whether wet or dry. I took the Acura to the Rocky Mountains and these tires inspire great confidence even through a foot of fresh snow. And quiet on the highway (less than 68db). Plus the 18” version of these tires have 12/32 of tread when new, so they are going to last a long time. Much better for a heavy van and SUV than the “regular” Defenders IMO, since those are built for lighter cars, while the LTX version is for heavier ones like a loaded down minivan (well north of 5500 pounds when loaded with 6 people, 2 dogs, and tons of luggage). Don’t be turned off by the LTX version for your minivan or luxury SUV. They look cool too, are built for a heavy vehicle, and are still super smooth. I have about 15k miles so far on the Acura MDX’s tires. Just drove it 2500 miles round trip with the LTX tires to the Colorado mountains and back through all types of weather: dry and smooth interstate as well as blinding snow a foot deep. They were super smooth and quiet crossing Kansas on the interstate, and never slipped in the Colorado snow. Could not be more pleased. I would recommended this version of tire over the regular Defender for heavier vehicles, since I would not have thought about an LTX tire since one normally thinks about a pickup for an LTX tire. The tires have stayed 100% balanced (as all Michelin tires do!) and wear evenly. Kudos to Michelin for engineering a great tire for all the family vans and SUVs out there.

We purchased our tires for our 2005 Ford Excursion 16 months ago. We have 7 kids and drive roughly 30-50,000 miles a year between practice, games, and visiting out of state family. We trust Michelin to be the safest and all round best choice for our family. Thank you.

Safety and Trust in a Product

When I travel at speeds in excess of seventy miles per hour on interstates or travel back country roads. I need to know that the company, I put my life and familys hands in for safety and reliability, can be trusted with quality products. For this reason I have chosen Michelin to put my trust in.
