Purchased only defender LTX for many years and they were great. The defender LTX was discontinued in this size!! I cannot imagine why... so I purchased these as they were recommended replacements. Immediately noticed a swaying feeling. Maybe it was just my imagination, so I loaded the trailer and headed out. Shortly into my trip I noticed the swaying was MUCH MUCH worse. At about 10k miles I couldnt handle it anymore and had to know if it was just me or if the tires were deflecting laterally under load. I swapped to some older defender LTX tires that were used and had low tread. ( I know not the most scientific control) The swaying was gone!! These tires will be gone soon as well. I hope they bring back the Defender LTX in the original construction or better yet, with a firmer sidewall.

I owned and operated a construction company for more than 30 years. We typically had 3-10 light trucks on the road. They were often fully loaded to max GVW and or pulling trailers. Once the OEM tires were worn out (or blowout) we would replace them with Michelins. I tried most of the major brands and had numerous failures such as tread separation, ply separation and blowouts. We experienced very few failures with Michelins. I just replaced a set of Michelins on a 2006 Chevy 3500 pickup that I drive. I got more than 50,000 miles of service from the LTXs and replaced with the same tire. I have only had one bad experience with rapid wear and I think it was vehicle related, not the tire. We also had several off-road heavy equipment eathmoving applications. Some of the equipment had other brands of tires and occasional problems, but the ones with Michilens never had any issues. They cost a bit more than "brand x" but they are worth it.

I bought these to replace the OEM dunlop tires on my 2017 Land Cruiser in 285/65r18, glad i did. Much better than the factory tires with slightly more aggressive A/T tread pattern. Great in rainy and dry weather and should last longer. Road noise is minimal, comparable to OEM.

Bought 2tires 33000 miles ago and 2 tires 29000 miles ago..they are on a Chevy 2007 classic.. We are getting ready to embark on a 5000 mile RV trip with a bumper pull and the tires are almost to the wear bar..Sams Club will not warrant the tires..the tires are LT245 75R 16’s..these tires will not complete the trip. We have always had Michelin ties on our vehicles

Bought these tires while traveling due to OME tires only lasted 22K. New tires were ral smooth, nice ride. BUT. Within a hundred miles, truck felt as if one or all tires were out of balance. Had the front tires balanced, again. This helped for some up to around 65mph, then the vibrations started up again. Returning home, we put balance beads in the tires, another waste of money. Went back to the local tire dealer to check the balance again. They said the front axle bearing needed replaced. Truck with 24,000 miles should still be like new. Took to Ram dealer for this warranty work. They inspected front bearings, stated all were in good order yet found a bad rear axle shaft. (???) They tried to balance tires, couldn't stop the vibrations and told me the tread was separating and they couldn't fix the problem.

I have just purchased these to replace the original set that came new with my 2013 GMC Sierra 2500HD. The reason for purchasing them again is simple - they were fantastic tires. I got 51,500 miles from the original set, and of that 36,000 were towing miles. That's some pretty impressive wear in my view. Had we not towed so much we would have easily gotten 60,000 miles out of them. I kept the pressure up (they required very little additional air over their life) and rotated them every 7k miles, but that's about it. I will try to rotate this new set every 5k in hopes of getting even more life out of them. One interesting thing - although we really didn't notice it as it was probably a gradual thing, the tires must have been louder at the end of their life than they were before, because when we got the new set on we immediately noticed how quiet they were.

I was ready to pull the trigger on a set of these LTX at2 but noticed they're not rated for severe snow. Curious why. They look like they have plenty of siping. May have to switch to BFG A/T, but didn't want the noise. Wife likes her Defenders, but these look better for trails.

This tire exceeds my expectations not only in performance, but in valu as well. The tread allows my truck to handle better in steering, braking, and comfort. I highly recommend this tire series for all SUV owners who demand superior off and on road handling.

I researched different tires for my Trailblazer and wanted tires good in snow and gravel/sand for boat launching. I have not been disappointed. I am especially amazed at how they function in snow, and seem to grip quite well even on ice. I cannot comment on wear as I've had them just 10,000 miles so far, but they seem to be wearing reasonably.

I live in the country and have built a house but not made a drive way. So basically I have a dirt drive way which gets muddy when it rains. My truck does not get stuck with these tires. They are wider, taller, and aggressive in getting my truck out of mud and soft areas. Tires are very good on saving gas. Tires dig in deep when its raining on the road and give me great traction! The tires slow down my truck's acceleration on the road. It takes me longer to achieve speed compared to the cheap tires I had before. Other than that one thing, everything else is excellent.
