Best tires I ever had

Back in 2005, I bought a set of these tires for my Honda Element. At the time the odometer was at 50,000 miles. Now I am looking at tires again for the same vehicle, which is why I am even on this website. I now have 140,000 miles on the Element. 90,000 miles on a set of tires can't be beat. I will definitely stick with Michelin!

Great Tires

I bought a used Honda Ridgeline in 2008 that had these tires. About 200k miles and 4 sets of tires later, I am looking for another set of these tires. I average about 600 miles a week and living in Colorado I see all kinds of inclement weather and road conditions (even dirt!). These tires have saved my life more than once. Highly recommended! Long life and great traction in all kinds of conditions. And doing a ton of hi-speed (avg 80mph) driving, these tires spin smooth and I have no complaints on road noise.

I drive a F250 and use to run bias tires because the sidewalls were tougher. I'm on about to get my third set of LT M/S. They are a great tire. Quiet and strong. I usually load about 1,000# to haul every day and the quiet smooth ride is to set example. Never had a tire failure with one and only cut one once. Highly recommended for a personal service vehicle.

EXCELLENT TIRES!

These tires have given me years of great service. I have had them on my Ford Ranger, Ford F150, and Ford Excursion. They are not by any means the cheapest tires for these vehicles, but they offer great ride quality, low noise, and I have never had one with any type of defect throughout the life of the tire.

No More Jeep Death Warble!!!

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.

I love these tires!

I love these tires. When I say these tires have superior traction, I've had tires for six months and i driven through mud, wet grass and wet pavement and these tires never loss traction. I love them and I recommend them to anybody who drives a truck! One more thing, these tires make a truck look so good!

Unbelievable mileage

The Michelin man probably doesn't want to hear this but the last set of LTX M/S 225 70R15 tires I got 128,000 miles out of them and when my dealer could not locate another set for my Ranger they got me 235 70R15 and I've got 90,000 on these tires and they should last easily as long as the first set. I drive as a regional courier in the Kansas City area and went through OEM tires, replacement tires from other manufacturers and I will always buy Michelin's from here on out!!!!!

For small RV

I have these on my 2006 Winnebago View motor home, this is the second set the first set had great tread after close to 60K miles but time of about six years is the reason I got the new ones, there was some cracking nothing major. I feel these are the best tires I have ever owned.

I have used a total of 48 of these tires since 1989 on two different Dodge 3500 dually trucks,carrying a Lance camper at 5,000 pounds loaded, often towing boats from 17 to 23 feet and travelling from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Anchorage. Alaska and throughout Western 1/2 of the US without a single failure. These tires performance in a mix of heavy loads, hot highways and bad roads have given me great confidence during my widely varied travels! I will be a lifelong customer of this superb and reliable product.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks
