Michelin is King

I have been an RV enthusiast for many years. Over time, I have tried several brands of tires for my GMC 2500HD tow vehicle. I am now on my third set of Michelins. I have found Michelin tires carry the heavy load of my 5th wheel trailer extremely well. Handling is excellent and road noise is the lowest I have found in a mud and snow type tire. Michelins give me a sense of safety because they have proven to be trouble free over the life of the tire. I use Michelins on all of my vehicles including heavy duty tires with highway tread for my 5th wheel. My only complaint might be that I do not get quite the mileage for tread wear that is advertised. I'm sure this is partly because of the heavy load I carry. The rear tires wear fastest so rotations must be performed regularly. I usually buy new tires when the tread depth is about 4/32nd of an inch and that is about 45,000 miles. I've never found a tire that comes close to Michelin performance and always recommend them to family and friends.

I read about these tires, and that they were of a harder rubber....I wanted a tire that would last, but accepted the rougher ride. These were on my 2000 Ford Ranger, and lasted longer than any tire I had previously owned. In the rain and light snow ther performed very well, enabling me to get uphill to my house!

If it's not Michelin, I'm not interested

My son has an older model Jeep Cherokee Limited with over 150K miles. The Jeep had set of Michelin tires which we loved the ride and the durability. We visited a local retail shop and they had sold out of the Michelin for that size car. The salesman recommended several high quality tires that he had in stock as an alternative. After considering his pitch, I simply said "If it's not a Michelin, I am not interested." Interestingly the saleman replied, "I think you are right. No question, Michelin is the best tire." After some reseach, I was able to find a set, ordered them and waited a couple of day for the tires to arrive. It was absolutely worth it. We drive the Jeep in mixed conditions; rain, snow, mountain gravel roads and interstates. Thanks Michelin for making such a great product!

I have owned 3 sets of ...

I have owned 3 sets of these tires on a Dodge Dakota and a 2003 Ford Explorer Sporttrac ... when the factory tires are about half done, I just get a new set of the Michelins ... they are great in the wet (which is my main concern with these vehicles) also very good in the snow - I get about 75,000 miles of weat out of them ... when my 2009 Sporttrac needs new shoes (in the Spring) ... I will be looking for a set of Michelins

Will never buy a different tire!

I got these in 2018, they've been through 6 seasons now. I'll never buy another tire; these are amazing. We have seriously hot summers and seriously cold winters here in the Badlands; temperatures go from +110 to -40. The Defenders haven't even blinked. Snow, ice, off-road, deep mud, highway; they're a great ride with great traction. They're not the quietest tire; then again, if you want a serious all-season tire and tread, noise is something you learn to live with. Quiet tires can't grip for anything. I'm sorry so many others have had issues; these tires have never let me down. I'm hoping they'll still be this good when I need another set.

The LTX M/S tires are long wearing and more importantly, they retain their wet and snow traction until the very end. Unlike other tires that may have good and dependable traction for the first year, LTX M/S retain their positive traction for stopping, fast starts and cornering.

I just installed my second set of LT M/S 108s. The first set lasted 110 thousand miles and still had 4/32 of tread left! We have a lot of rain in FL and the wet weather braking was exceptional. The tires were balanced when they were first installed and there was never a sign of vibration for their entire life. I never did anything special other than watching the inflation pressure and rotating them on a regular basis. We keep our vehicles for a long time and I am sure the new set will perform equally as well as the first.

Poor tread wear. Only 4/32nds left at 39k miles.

This is the 3rd set of Michelin tires I have purchased. I have been sold on them for years. I purchased these in Feb 2017 for my wife's 2002 Ford Ranger Tremor. This is the second set that's been on her truck. My truck also has a set on it. The last set lasted 60k miles when I replaced them. I researched your site for the "New" Defender LTX M/S replacement tires with 70k mile tread wear warranty that supposedly lasts longer than the old LTX M/S 2 tires I replaced. I was "SOLD". Sadly the new tires have 39k miles on them and only have 4/32nds tread left on all 4 tires. I had the front end rebuilt with new control arms, drove it to tire store with old tires, bought new tires and had the alignment done. I rotate the tires myself every other oil change, done at 3k miles for a 6k mile total on tires. I keep the tire pressure checked year round and have had the alignment checked twice since buying them. They are all wearing even across the tire with no cupping or uneven wear showing. I am disappointed that I now need new tires again with just over half the miles warranted. I will contact your company to see how good the warranty is as I have been a loyal customer. Thank you. P.S. We love the ride quality and no road noise of these tires too. Just don't last. Sad!

Excellent all-round tire!

The Michelin MTX M/S is a great all-around tire. After 53,000 miles on these as stock tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, and after extensive on-line research, I decided to replace them with the same tire. They are excellent on the highway, and give a superb feel and control. They also do well in the snow/sleet/rain that we get here in Maryland in the winter. I also take them on a yearly off-road excursion in the Outer Banks, to a beach house that is only accessable by driving on the beach 8 miles each way - this is not a hard-packed beach like Daytona, but just the beach - have never gotten stuck and am sure that I won't. They are a little on the pricey side, but I would rather spend a few extra bucks on tires than on an insurance deductable because I saved a few bucks on tires and got into an accident. Just this past weekend I drove up to New Jersey in a terrible dounpour most of the way, and I felt confident that me and my family were just fine with these tires - no hydroplaning issues and a solid feel. Would definately buy these again. I am a huge fan of the brand - great tires (I have Pilot Sport A/S Plus's on my 04 TL, and they are the best tires I have ever owned).

Great Performance

Retired and purchased a fifth wheel. Got a diesel pick up truck to pull it. When it came time to purchase tires, called a friend whose company used the same truck for tire recommendation. He suggested Michelin. Had several less expensive options but wife and I decided to go with the Michelins. Purchase the LTX M/S and been more than satisfied. Pulled the RV around the country with no problems. The tires ride smooth and I believe they help with fuel consumption. Good tire and good service from my local Michelin dealer.
