After 15 years of ...

After 15 years of "Michelin only", thinking I should be more frugal, I ran through two sets of a competitor's brand, never coming close to Michelin's performance or longevity! Before leaving for our summer vacation '10, I put a full set on our all-wheel drive SUV, and the difference was AMAZING ... driving was a pleasure, like a million little fingers were gripping the road as we drove cross-country through Virginia's scenic highways ... the ride was far more comforatble, and fuel economy actually increased! My earlier Michelin sets had always had good tread up to the milage forecast ... not so with "brands X" ... I'm so glad to be back in safe hands ... clearly, my Michelin tires are still the best investment I can make for my family's transportation.

GIVE YOUR OLD TIRE A REST...GET THE BEST

The Michelin LTX/MS is the best tire I have ever put on my 4-runner...if you dont believe me ask another persob who driving on Michelin. I PUT THE DEFENDER ON MY 2001 RAV4 AND IT DRIVES THROUGH THE RAIN LIKE ITS NOT RAINING; AND IT STICKS TO THE GROUND LIKE IT'S NOT SNOWING. MICHELIN IS THE KING OF TH ROAD!

Been traveling 12 states ...

Been traveling 12 states for 27 years. LTX radials are the only tire for me and my family. When it comes to comfort, handling and overall security your vehicle is only as good as the rubber that meets the road. I have taken all of my new cars straight to the Michelin dealer to have oe tires replaced with LTX. "Theres no ride like the Michelin Ride"

Best kept secret in 4wd tires

This tire is the best one on the road for me. I have over the years taken this tire way, way off road and often I've pulled 4x4's with more aggressive tires than these out of situations they could not get through on their own. I drive a stock 2013 Ram 1500 4wd and these tires not only take me wherever I want to go but they ride smooth. I often go in sand, snow, mud, rocks, you name it and this tire is gonna get you through. It takes a long steady foot on the accelerator but these tires will find a way to get you through. Love my Michelin Truck Tires.

Quality and Safety

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.

Much improved ride

Needed new tires for my 2018 Honda CR-V and wanted to improve the ride quality. These tires nailed it! Much improved in both the ride handling, smoothness, and lower road noise inside the vehicle. Also simply feels more sure-footed in the rain. Looking forward to seeing a difference in winter snow.

Jeep Wrangler Tire Replacement

I replaced the "stock" tires on my Jeep Wrangler several years ago with a larger/broader set of Michelin tires. Michelin tires have been the tire of choice for my family for decades. I will have no other tires but Michelins on my Jeep. The ride in a Jeep Wrangler is always noisy, however my Michelin tires ride quietly ... the ride is stable and controlled ... and the overall performance is excellent in all seasons. Best of all ... these Michelin tires last!!! By that I mean the Michelin tires last a long time ... and performance so far has not diminished with age. Michelin tires are simply the best performer on all of my family's vehicles from my wife's Mercedes to my 2001 Jeep Wrangler!

Best tire I've used yet

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

Been using Michelins for ...

Been using Michelins for 35 years. Had to very off the road to avoid a deer and the shoulder had a drop off. The Michelin's came right back onto the road with out pulling back. The safety of the Grandkids I feel is insured by drivving on Michelins. I recommend them every chance I get. Some people don't want to spend the extra money but in the wear factor and milage I save in the long run. One thing,,,,,Rotate them. I do it at 5000 even though recommended at 7500.

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.
