Third set of the Defender LTX M/S tires on two diesel pickups used to tow approximately 15,000 # fifth wheels. They are quiet, great wet traction and decent in snow. These tires are not designed to routinely run up and down wet dirt/muddy roads, through fields or Upper Peninsula winters. Love these tires and that is why I am a repeat customer. As with any brand & model tire the vehicle must be in alignment to include the frame or there will be abnormal wear. As with any brand & model tire if the tires are not properly inflated there will be abnormal wear. Proper inflation does not mean pressuring the tire to the maximum number located on the sidewall either.

I am on my 2nd set of LTX MS tires now with over 140,000 miles with 60% tread currentlt on my 2005 GMC Sierra. I can't believe I get 80,000 miles on a set of tires! I prefer the smooth ride of the GMC over the Mercedes, in fact I almost always drive the GMC. Need;ess to say, I am sold on Michelin!

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.

Put LTX MS tires on my 2001 Ford Excursion Rotated every other oil change and just had to put some others on now and when I started looking at tires the Michlens are so high priced but when I figured out that i got 91000 miles out of them they are cheaper than the others. Hope the LTX MS2 will get as god as the first ones did. Wish they would not have changed to to LTX AT the AT2 are not as good. Love the ride.

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.

This is the second set of these tires on my SUV. the first set outlasted mileage rating for the tires. So far this set is looking like they will do the same. With scheduled reatation and balance these tires perform great and the ride is unmatched. I am a michelin man 100%. You will never buy anything other than michelin once you ride on a set.

This will be my 3rd set. I consistently get 60k miles or more on my 2008 suburban with these. Traction is good, smooth riding, stable. I run the 10 ply tire on my su urban just in case I tow and I like them better than any 4 ply tire I have ever used.

I have purhased several sets of the LTX/MS tires in 10 ply over the past several years. I have had trouble free use for 70000+ miles on each set. I was even able to give the used tires to someone who needed tires, but was unable to afford to purchase any, They also were able to use them for additional trouble free miles. The tires are more expensive than many other brands but I have considered it well worth the cost to feel secure with the quality of the tires.

I use these these tires on my personal and work trucks. they are the quietest, smoothest, and most dependable tires I can buy. They cost more than other tires however, I cannot afford to have my trucks out of service for any ammount of time. If I can prevent time loss by spending a little more up front, then I can save a whole lot in the long run.

For my last six vehicles I’ve bought Michilens when it came time to replace originals. Nice ride and good handling. These are the same in that respect. However the mileage dropped immediately and consistently from the original tires. I am averaging 15% to 20% LOWER gas mileage since I had these put on. All that great tread is going to give me is several thousand more miles of less than optimal gas economy.
