I like the tire

I was having trouble with left turns in wet conditions with our 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. The tires on the vehicle would not grip the pavement in this turn. This is the third set of tires for the vehicle and I no longer am having the car slip in wet conditions. I am in need of replacement tires on my Chevy Impala soon and will most likely use a Michelin for this vehicle as well.

My local service station ...

My local service station talked me into another major brand of tire to replace my worn LTX Michelins. I developed a wobble in the front end of my Chevy Tahoe that I never had before. They balanced the tires, rotated them, did an alignment, shocks, etc. and could not cure the problem. Finally they replaced the tires with a new set of the same brand and I still had the wobble. I finally took my truck to a Chevy dealer and they told me the tires were out of round. I replaced the tires with new Michelin LTX M/Ss and never had the problem again. That was 70,000 mile ago and they're still in great shape. I'll always use Michelin. Great tires!

Pleasantly Surprised

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

Great SUV Tire

These have been great tires. They make no adverse noise, and supply great traction in wet and dry weather. I am not as diligent as I should be on rotating and the still wear evenly. These tires currently have over 30,000 miles and you can hardly tell any wear. I would highly recommend these to anyone with a SUV.

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

Safe, Quiet Tire

I have 45K miles on these tires and they are great tires. They ride quite and I feel safe with them in bad weather. They have been thru heavy rain, snow, ice and handle well. The tread wear is even and I keep tabs on the tire pressure. I know I need to replace soon and will probably get the same ones. Hoping the prices come down...

I have the Michelin LTX M/S on my 2008 Ford F150 and I couldn't be happier. I only have a 2wd but in the snow they grip great even on some pretty bad on and off ramps from the freeway. When its wet I never feel like I am hydroplaning and when it's nice out they grip great when you want to nail it! These tires are worth the $.

Extremely Dissatisfied

I purchased a new set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace my worn tires on my Honda CR-V. I did about two months of research and found the Defenders to be the best value for what I needed in snow and highway conditions. I can not express how disappointed I am with the handling and ride comfort of these tires. The slightest gust of wind nearly knocks me off of the road as well as extreme vibrations at 60 - 70 mph. Cornering and fast manuvering is nearly impossible and extremly dangerous at highway speeds. I have had these tires rebalanced twice as well as having my CR-V looked over by the Honda dealership to see if it was a problem with my car. I was told by the dealership that it was the new Defenders I had installed and that there are no issues with my vehicle. This was my first and will be my last Michelin purchase.

I have this tire on both ...

I have this tire on both of my trucks (10 tires between them and I'm not counting spares!) I get excellent wear, as a matter of fact, the last set that I used up got over 100,000 miles on them. The set before that I replaced prematurely at 90,000 miles. Both sets still had street legal tread depth. The tires offer a good, smooth ride that is quiet. I have never had any slipping during wet cornering. All these reasons contribute to the fact that ALL three of my vehicles have Michelins!

I am running a set of LTX ...

I am running a set of LTX M/S 2 now on my 2003 Suburban after having achieved 85,000 miles with a set of LTX M/S tires that were one size larger than the tires that came as orignal equipment. This was to help with trailering a 20 ft travel trailer. Ride was harder with the large size LTX M/S. Now with LTS M/S2 of teh same large size ride is smoother than before. I expect to get well over 100,000 miles with these tires. I will not buy any other auto or light truck tire besides Michelin.
