I'm in love with these ...

I'm in love with these 'truck" tires on my 1996 Cadillac (Fleetwood Broughm). No Michellin tires were on the recommended list by Michellin, so I had to make my own choice from the technical information given to me by Michellin. My driving is mostly on asphalt roads, but about 20% of is on rutted gravel in the North Carolina mountains, and I feel very safe driving on these heavy treads. Also, my mileage is excellent on highways, much beyond tires I drove on two changes prior. And, getting 60,000 miles on these tires is not bad either. Also, driving on rain slick roads puts me in the confident column; they hold well! Altogether, couldn't be better! Keep it up Michellin

I have purchased (2) sets of LTX MS ( l set on a 1990 Jeep cherokee laredo, and on a 1997 grand cherokee laredo. Both sets have been excellent, with the set on 1997 jeep still with more than half the tread after 40,000 miles. I intended on getting these for my wife's 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo, but unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time. Also, the tires on the 1997 have been on for 8 years. I have recommended these tires to several of my friends, and I know least three have purchased the LTX MS. These tires are outstanding for all season, long mileage, and quite/smooth ride.

Will never buy a different tire!

I got these in 2018, they've been through 6 seasons now. I'll never buy another tire; these are amazing. We have seriously hot summers and seriously cold winters here in the Badlands; temperatures go from +110 to -40. The Defenders haven't even blinked. Snow, ice, off-road, deep mud, highway; they're a great ride with great traction. They're not the quietest tire; then again, if you want a serious all-season tire and tread, noise is something you learn to live with. Quiet tires can't grip for anything. I'm sorry so many others have had issues; these tires have never let me down. I'm hoping they'll still be this good when I need another set.

Excellent tires!

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!

Worst riding tire ever

Have used Michelin tires for years and always loved them. Put this tire on a 2014 1500 RAM and they are the worst riding tires I have ever had. I am taking them off and putting on a different brand because I can' stand the ride any longer. My 9 year grand son even asked why the truck rode so bad.

Replace Goodyear Wranglers with Defenders

Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.

3 Sets in and Still Counting

Just installed my 3rd Set (counting the OEM that came with the truck). of LTX/MS on my 06 Ridgeline I have 85k on the vehicle. Avg. about 40k per set. I use them year round and live in VT. These tires have done the job for me. They are wearing well, quiet and provide good traction in all the conditions I use them for. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I consider this tire a good investment.

Fantastic tire, worth every penny!

My 2008 Honda Ridgeline came with these tires as original equipment. At 68,000 miles they still had tread that would pass inspection but I knew that coming into winter I better start looking to replace. I was thinking I may try a cheaper brand and save some bucks so I shopped around. I finally came to my senses and replaced with the OE LTX tires. After doing the math, I would likely not get the same miles or quality ride out of cheap tires. If I got 68,000 miles out of the first set I hope I get 75,000 out of the second set. Cost per mile works out to be less with the Michelins. Truck rides like new again and I can confidently travel the Pennsylvania winters with no worries.

Excellent tire for my ...

Excellent tire for my 2001 Tacoma 4x4. Very quiet when new then went through a period of slight tire noise then back to unnoticeable. Traction has been steady throughout the first 45000 miles. Will replace with this identical tire if or when it becomes necessary. Considered this tire for my new Tacoma but purchased the Latitude Tour. Happy with that choice so far however only 3500 miles on that vehicle and tire.

Best

I have a 1998 GMC Suburban. After I wore out the factory tires at @ 25,000 miles that came on this vehicle when I bought it new. I then decided to get Michelins, from past experience. I have over 180,000 miles on my truck. I am on my second set of Michelins and still going strong. I get a consistent 70,000 to 75,000+ on these tires. You do get what you pay for absolutely. Michelin,...see ya soon for my next set.
