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.

The tires will grow on anyone who rides in your car. They perform in all conditions. People are amazed on how well they grip the road even in wet weather. I put this tire on all of my kids cars for years. My company I work for put them on all of their trucks. Out all of the years I have used Michelin, I have never had to use my spare tire. You will be amazed of the quiet comfort ride they provide.

The absolute best tire on the market in my opinion. I have always been a fan. Like many other drivers I have tried other brands when deals seemed to good to pass up, however, I have always returned to Michelin. The old saying, "you get what you pay for", is very true and aptly applies. These tires have the best ride and are extremely dependable. They will always be my first choice when new tires are needed.

These are the best all season tires I've owned! have had them on my F150 for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread - Amazing traction in the Colorado snow/ice! I also tow a trailer and they are sturdy built tires! I don't understand how anyone can complain of these being a noisy tire in the reviews that I read. They are an extremely quite and comfortable ride even at 80psi when towing (275/70/18 E 10ply tires) Would buy them again!

I brought my first set of Michelin tires when my Honda van needed new tires. Originally I brought another band but after a week I didn't like them. The Michelin dealer gave me full credit for the other ties toward the Michelin's. The van drove and handled so much better. When my daughter's car needed tires I brought Michelin and she couldn't believe how much better her car drove and handled. I put Michelin's on our Ford Escape and my wife really liked how much quieter the car drove. I'm goning to make sure the next car I buy has Michelin's on it.

I have been a Michelin tire user for many years. I have put michelins on two Suburbans,two Chevy Silverados,two Jeeps and a Ford Expedition. The tires wore as advertised and regularly exceeded the mileage noted. That's all I use and will continue to ride on Michelin rubber.

I've always used Michelin, then Ctls were on sale and I chose them. 3 Flat tires in 6 months. Been working at same place same drive path for 25 years. Had the new tires taken off and new Michelins put on. They even road quieter. I won't do it again. Flat tires are a pain to deal with especially when it's freezing out.

These are the smoothest riding tires I have had on my 4x4 pickup since I purchased it in 2002. One of the things that amazed me the most was that when they were mounted and balanced, only one of the four tires needed a small weight to balance. The rest required no weights at all!!! Still no weights added at the subsequent rotations and rebalances!! Quality! Quality! Quality! My first set of Michelin's and certainly not my last!!!!!

I have put michelins on my suvs for 16 years as well as my dad. We have found that the tread wear outlast the competition by far. They have been far superior over any other tires I have driven on especially during rain or snow. I would highly recommend michelins to anyone ready to buy new tires!!

We put in a lot of driving and what's most important is the smooth and quiet ride we receive from Michelin tires. The tires wear more evenly than most tires on the market. I have to say, the previous Michelin tires (same brand) gave us a longer life; same driving pleasure, but wore out sooner.
