This has been an excellent tire. The one thing it needs is deeper tread. Michelin, if you are listening, your competitors are offering up to 20/32 inch tread depth and you are at 13.5/32 inch on the LT285/70/17 Defender LTX. If I see another tire with that much more tread depth, there is a good chance I will purchase it. Please, more tread depth to be competitive in the current LT tire market for the next edition of this tire. At least 1/2 inch.

I love this tire, I am on my third set of the LTX's. I have 378K miles on my 1998 Blazer and the last set I got over 150K miles on. These are the best long mileage tires ever. The ride and handling are outstanding. I will always use Michelin on my vehicles.

I now have over 75,000 miles on this set, I rotate them every 5000 miles. I feel they will go 100,000. You pay more up front but these tires will give you your investment back. My wifes Tahoe also now has Michelins & it rides like a dream. I am on my third set. OK I' m sold !! RA

These tires are OEM on my Honda Ridgeline. With previous vehicles I have usually changed the original tires when they were coming up for replacement. I have been very impressed with the Michelin tires and will look to get another set at the appropriate time. Handling has been very good and our area has had an abundance of rain, which has been a great test of stability during wet conditions. The LTS M/S tires have been excellent in this regard. Thanks Honda for using these tires on your vehicle. For the first time in 5 vehicles, I will be keeping them.

I am fairly picky and just bought my 3rd set. First set was bought due to high road noise for tires that came with car. First set only lasted 55k but my daily driver never rotated her tires so tread wear not even and had to turn em in early. First set was so quiet I went with a 2nd set but this time daily driver was religious about rotating tires so going with a third set after 83k miles.

I replaced the "stock" tires on my Jeep Wrangler several years ago with a larger/broader set of Michelin tires. Michelin tires have been the tire of choice for my family for decades. I will have no other tires but Michelins on my Jeep. The ride in a Jeep Wrangler is always noisy, however my Michelin tires ride quietly ... the ride is stable and controlled ... and the overall performance is excellent in all seasons. Best of all ... these Michelin tires last!!! By that I mean the Michelin tires last a long time ... and performance so far has not diminished with age. Michelin tires are simply the best performer on all of my family's vehicles from my wife's Mercedes to my 2001 Jeep Wrangler!

I have a very heavy (9500 pounds) one-ton van converted to a self-contained RV, and with over a ton on each corner, blowouts are something I wanted to avoid. These tires have done their job for the last five years in a commendable fashion. In addition to no problems with them, the fuel economy, smoothness, and braking are so good that I have no complaints at all. I'm replacing them with another set after 75,000 blessedly uneventful miles.

I've driven on all brands of tires, and the Michelin LTX M/S is one of the strongest, longest lasting tires I've ever had. The first set went 70k, and I was going on a long trip so I thought it was time to replace them. I looked at the tread and it was about half worn! I went on my trip and saved the money and drove another 15k before replacing with the same thing. Cant tell you how many miles the next set got, but I put 50k on them and sold the truck. They might still be on there as far as these babys go! My Tahoe is getting due for tires and I know what is going on! MIchelin LTX M/S

After 20 years of buying Michelins, 1st time disappointed, very disappointed. With 20K of miles over 2 years, you won't want to drive these in wet or snow. Normal inflation checks & rotation was done. It was just amazing to me the dramatic decline in performance after 20,000 miles. Didn't notice any above average road noise & the Honda Element is a gas hog for a 4cylinder engine & 5-speed, so didn't notice gas mileage improvements or decline.

I have been a lifelong Michelin customer. Recently purchased these and my highway fuel economy dropped from 19mpg to around 16.6mpg. I have these tires on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali which replaced an older set of LTX M/S2 tires that were great. These also have more road noise than the previous model of tire. I've seen reviews that provide the explanation that newer tires are more grippy so i should expect some loss of fuel economy and noise, but this is the first that i have ever experience in a tire from michelin. My previous tire, put them on and all was good, nice and quiet, with the fuel economy that i would expect.
