OK, I had michelins on my honda accord years ago and remembered how good they were and how long they lasted (had 110K miles on them when I sold it). So when my 2003 Escape needed replacements for the tires that came on it at 60K miles, I went with the Michelins. Now six years and over 170K miles later I am ready for a new set (or maybe a new vehicle, since the odometer is near 240K). I am very pleased with Michelins. They last forever! The guy at the tire store said I could probably get 5-10K more out of them since I actually still have good tread but am seeing some dry rot - they are getting old. Great tires Michelin!

If you need to buy tires for your SUV or truck, go ahead and buy the best. The LTX M/S is absolutely the finest SUV tire out there. They will outlast any competitors tire hands down. Ride quality is phenominal. The few extra bucks you spent on the LTX M/S tires will be insignificant 5 years down the road. Get the best the first time. I'll never buy any other brand SUV tire.

I have had these tires on my vehicle 7 years and they still wear and perform great. I spent over 20 years at a Ford Dealer in mgnt and when we had to have new tires pn something I always chose Michelin . So with my past experience I still carry on the tradition of using Michelin tires . Never change your product

Rain or shine, hot or cold, these tires perform very well. My Rav4 is not an open road vehicle. Despite being a 4wd manual transmission I don't go off road except to pull people out of a ditch. So I can't speak to those situations. Around town I love how my Michelin's have given my Rav4 a great ride that I can be confident about.

I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline AWD and @ 70K I am near the wear indicators for new tires. My previous truck was also a Honda Ridgeline (2006) and traded @ 83K and had just put on a new set of shoes. I am getting outstanding mileage from both the tires and gas mileage - up to 27MPG. The secret for me has been to inflate them to between 38 and 40 lbs. The ride is a bit harder but the savings more than make up for the difference. I love my Michelins!

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

These OEMs are the original set of tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, which now has 65,000 miles so far. There is still approx. 10,000 of remaining tread wear. I rotate these tires each time I service my vehicle, and the tread wear is very even across the tire, with no difference in wear between front/rear tires. Tire tires are very reliable, score highly in all categories, and they hep keep the vehicle moving straight. In other words, they don't cause annoying radial pulls, to the left or right, like some tire have a tendency to do. Off-Road traction is good, for the few times I've been in snow/ice, or up an down grassy hilly parking lots at sporting functions. I will buy these exact tires when replacing my OEM set.

This is hands down the best tire I've owned. Installed on RAM 1500 4x4. Great wet/dry traction. I also do a bunch of snow driving going skiing each winter. This tire is great! I didn't get to the full tread life but that's my heavy right foot's fault.

You get what you pay for, and the Michelin Defender LTX M&S are by no means the cheapest tire out there. I have tried many other brands of tires, but always come back to this one. If you looking for smooth, quiet ride, good traction & long wear look no further. Over 10K miles driven so far, I fully expect to get nearly 50K out of every set and I never let the tread levels wear down completely on my tires. I drive a mix of highway miles, windy mountain roads, rocky/dirt/gravel roads, rain and snow and these tires hold up better than all the rest.

I was doing an oil change on my 2004 Tundra and asked my wife to look at the previous receipt for the last set of these same tires. She said 80,000 miles and ten years ago. although the tread was still good, I had noticed some steering wheel wabble at low speed and a slight pull to the left and had two shops check the alignment on my 120K miles Tundra. They both said your alignment is fine, so I drove it for a year or so trying rotation without a cure. I told her "These tires are good, but Old and hard". I put on this fresh set and Wala! no more vibration and no pull. Man this thing rides like the Tundra should. I know these tires are $$ but worth it to me. By the way I got 100,000 miles on the same Michelin Defenders on my Honda CRV.
