LTX MS2

This tire is very quiet and provides an excellent ride. I thought this tire would be better in snow than it is. It's does not provide good traction in light or deep snow which is why I bought this tire in the first place. Little disappointed with the snow performance but overall a pretty good tire. This tires tread is not aggressive enough for what I need it for.

Good tires.

I have defenders on my pickup 1 ton pick up truck and I have a relatively heavy equipment trailer. I was on the highway when it was raining and the car ahead of me scretched to a stop. Stopped on the brakes and my truck and trailer stoped on a dime. I recommend these tires for anyone.

I have almost 60,000 ...

I have almost 60,000 miles on these tires. Tread depth shows they should be good for another 15,000 miles. Vehicle is a Ford f-350 crewcab with powerstroke diesel. Very good tread wear for this heavy vehicle. Wet traction is excellent, and winter/snow is very good. I often recommend the LTX M/S to individuals looking for a good all around tire. (LTX M/S 2 is latest edition of this tire and is supposed to have even more of all the things I like about this tire. That WILL BE the next set of tires put on my truck!).

After 63,000 miles, I'm ready buy again.

We are a retired couple. Traveling with our GMC 3500 Truck Camper with a gross weight of 12,400 lbs. Have traveled 63,000 miles on our existing LTX M/S 225 85 16 E feeling safe and trouble free. Going to purchase 6 more by November. When we Leave for Florida. Best tire we have ever purchased for the cost. If we where to change anything it would be the same tire with a higher capacity such as 235/75/16 if it would fit our rims. Please advise

At presentI have a 4 ...

At presentI have a 4 wheel drive Avalanche and 2 wheel drive Avalanche. For the past 12 years I have not run anything but Michelen tires on my vehicle. I am on long road trips in my job and I love the quite smooth ride I get from my Michelen tires. when I go in the rough with the 4 wheel drive I have no problem with traction in mud or snow . I live in the Ozark mountains and all of the back roads I travel or flint rock gravel and I have never had a sliver punture my Michelen tires.

Not impressive

It's a month and I am not impressed. I switched from Michelin Premiere which were very nice. Essentially it's like switching from nice and smooth ride to one in which you feel every vibration and bump on steering wheel. 1. The tires are louder than expected based on reviews. 2. I keep feeling vibration, even at very low speeds. The person in tire place checked and says everything looks right. It started with tire change so it is definitely tires not anything else in car. So this is definitely not comfortable drive tire. Probably good for trucks, but not other cars.

Snoothest Riding Tire Ever

The tires will grow on anyone who rides in your car. They perform in all conditions. People are amazed on how well they grip the road even in wet weather. I put this tire on all of my kids cars for years. My company I work for put them on all of their trucks. Out all of the years I have used Michelin, I have never had to use my spare tire. You will be amazed of the quiet comfort ride they provide.

I can't use enough ...

I can't use enough adjectives to describe these awesome tires! The tires I replaced were the ones I bought in 2004, which were, you guessed it...Michelins. I have never bought tires that performed the way Michelins do. I was single at the time, driving to and from work at over 70 miles per day. Thats why I bought them again. Your tires do exactly what you say they will. I'm one happy customer.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

great tire - would buy again

I've got 37 thousand miles on mine and plenty of tread left. The around town miles are pretty easy, but each weekend these tires see at least a hundred miles of Idaho back country dirt roads in the summer and plenty of snowy trips to the ski hill in the winter. A good bit of that is in 4WD, in places where you want the security of a high quality tire.
