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.

O my GOD

Where to start , I have owned every tire on the market some time or another. I got tiered of tires wearing bad or just not lasting , So I broke down and purchased as set of MICHELIN Tires and now 3 years later I still have them on my truck . My truck drove and handled 100% better than ever with Michelin LTX M/S tires and I am getting ready to put some Michelin tires on my wife's car next. :<) Love Them Tires.

These tires are great.

I travel in winter in northern Michigan and wanted a more aggressive tire than the touring tires that I had been using. These are rated a little lower in comfort and noise but I needed the traction and was willing to sacrifice a little. Now that I have been driving on them most of the winter, they are providing better traction in mud and snow than I expected. Also, I don't notice any increase in noise or decrease in comfort. I would recommend these for everyone.

Just ok

I have 38,000 miles on this set and it’s time to replace them. This set is on a GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4x4. I drive 90% city and 10% dirt roads and no towing. I was pleased with the quiet comfortable ride. However, I was very unsatisfied with how unevenly they wore down and the short lifespan.

Starting Off on the Wrong Foot

I bought 4 tires on 12/11/18 for my Toyota Tacoma. These replaced a set of LTX MS 2 tires that had about 72k miles on them. I have a lot of history with Michelin tires between our two vehicles and I always had great success with them. But this set has really disappointed me so far. I had the tires mounted and balanced and on the way home I experienced a noticeable shudder. I took the truck right back to the dealership and they balanced all 4 tires again but to no avail. Another set of 4 tires were ordered and installed and I still had the problem. The dealer ended up measuring the runout (roundness) of every tire and found two tires from the first set and one from the second set that did not roll true. So, from the eight tires, he found 4 that rolled true and put them on the truck. That took care of the problem. How fortunate I was to have a dealer who was patient and truly interested in giving me a good product. I had to go back to the dealer 4 times to get it right and the dealer had to eat the labor cost for the last 3 trips. I sure hope this is not a sign of how well these tires will perform over the long haul. Really disappointed in Michelin quality control on this one.

Long Lasting Comfort

Great tires for a daily driver with the traction necessary for bad weather. Great in snow and rain - sure footed for whatever comes your way. These were original equipment on our SUV and are going strong after 45,000 miles. If they were a little more quiet they'd get 5 stars. But comfortable and sure footed overall. Great value and quality product.

15k so far and excellent

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.

Fantastic tire, worth every penny!

My 2008 Honda Ridgeline came with these tires as original equipment. At 68,000 miles they still had tread that would pass inspection but I knew that coming into winter I better start looking to replace. I was thinking I may try a cheaper brand and save some bucks so I shopped around. I finally came to my senses and replaced with the OE LTX tires. After doing the math, I would likely not get the same miles or quality ride out of cheap tires. If I got 68,000 miles out of the first set I hope I get 75,000 out of the second set. Cost per mile works out to be less with the Michelins. Truck rides like new again and I can confidently travel the Pennsylvania winters with no worries.

I replaced the OEM tires ...

I replaced the OEM tires on my suburban with a set of Michelin LTX. The LTX tires were more expensive than a set of OEM tires, but the ride quality and lack of road noise made a huge difference in the vehicle. This set of Tires accumulated about 85,000 trouble free, quiet miles before being replaced. I did not notice a significant improvement in traction or an increase in mileage using these all season tires in either snow, rain or mud conditions. Tire wear was excellent and uniform over the life of the tire. If you are looking for a good all season long lasting tire that is quiet and reliable, look at a set of the Michelin LTX.

103,000 miles and counting

This tire came standard with my new Ford Econoline van in 2006, and are still serving well at 103,000 miles. I may replace them before winter, but there is still good tread remaining, and the sidewalls look like new! They are quiet, reliable, and good looking.
