I have been driving on Michelins for years now because they handle well, wear well, and I feel safe driving them. I have had them on SUV's as well as small trucks. The last vehicle that I put them on was a Tacoma 4x4. I highly suggest giving them a try. I have only one problem during all the years that I have used them Michelin took the tire back and replaced it.

In my honest opinion, there is NO better tire for SUVs operating in northern climates than the Michelin LTX M/S. They provide a quiet, comfortable ride, with great handling and uncompromised wet traction. They are the only tires that I have found that will climb my steep driveway, when it's covered in packed snow. They even helped my RWD van get up the drive!

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

We have had these tires for over 70,000 miles and they still have tread left. Over the last 10,000 miles or so I have noticed that they have gotten louder. Also, they now have a tendency to when pulling away from a stop sign or making a tight turn in a parking lot. These have always been excellent in the snow and good in the rain. Even though these tire were probably the most expensive tires I have purchased, the are by far the best I have ever had. They outlasted the stock tires on my Highlander 2WD by over 40,000 miles. They also had much better handling and traction than the stock tires. I plan on replacing these in the next month or so with a new set of these or the LTX MS/2

I’ve had these tires for 10,000 miles now. I commute daily 40 miles and use my truck for construction as my side business. I’ve had well over 14k with trailer and equipment for on these tires for well over 2000 of those miles and these tires have shown little to no wear. Obviously, they don’t have the aggressive tread of other tires but I have gotten around muddy and clay job sites fine. I always use my truck around our farm daily and haven’t gotten stuck in my pastures. After running over 20 different brands and treads of tires these are the best of all worlds for highway, work, and farm chores. If you’re feeding cows daily in heavy mud I would get a mud terrain tire as my other truck that never hits the highway has, but these are good on your primary rig. Highway driving us superior with the Michelins. Minor, ever so slight noise at higher speeds, but infinitely quieter than any AT I have ever ran. I would go rock crawling with these tires, but great for daily use. I bought 10 ply.

These tires are used on an AWD Vehicle year round. There is essentially no road noise from the tires and they just wear and wear and wear with no unusual problems having been encountered. Most trouble free tires I've owned. So good that I use Michelin Tires on three (3) vehicles. Two SUV's and one (1) full Size Passenger Car. The Michelin tires were not given to the writer of this review and the writer was not compensated in any way for writing this review.

I was traveling and had some time to investigate new tires. I put the agent through a lot of questions and he knew everything about tires and even more about Michelin. He took his time, was able to answer all my questions as well as help me make a great dicision on the tire I chose. I truly love these tires and I am so happy I bought them too. The vehicle rides so well and they have enhanced the drive in rain and snow as well. I will be purchasing another set when that time comes and with all the dog rescue transports I do, that might be pretty soon! Thank you for making a great tire that I feel safe with.

I replaced all 4 tires on my Expedition with new Defenders LTX. I now have a smooth ride with no road noise. It even seems as if handling of the curves has improved. The tires hug the road whether it's wet or dry. I can always confide in Michelins to keep us safe on the road.

I purchased these tires for a Escape Hybrid in November. These tires replaced the Michelin Lattitude Tour series (which is no longer offered in this size) based on Michelin's recommendations. These tires are essentially a light truck tire with extra load capacity, so the ride quality is notably harsh and there is more tread noise at low speeds. The total rolling resistance is considerably higher, lowering the Average Fuel Economy on the Escape by over 8 MPG. This tire is a good choice for light trucks and larger heavier SUV's, but a poor choice for smaller SUV's or hybrids.

The first set LTX M/S tires lasted 8 years and 3 months...incredible. Granted I should have gotten new tires after 6 years, but these tires still had tons of tread on them when I had them replaced. These new ones seem even tougher somehow. You can by other good tires, but if you want the best I always trust Michelin.
