Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

tire noise

i have run other sets of michelin tires and have been satisfied with each one. these tires have a roar at all speeds and at less than 400 miles. i have never had tires that roared and don't think that i would buy another set of this tire. it may not be a big deal, but i don't like noise in my vehicle it really isn't right to rate the tire with less than 400 miles. my only problem is the roar. michelin is a good brand and i feel like i will continue to buy your product.

Thr best tires I've had on a vehicle

Chevrolet put these on when two sets of the tires that came on the vehicle when new failed at 7000 miles. Have had them on now for nearly 97,000 miles just ordered another set for my Chevrolet High Country Silverado. Ride is superior to any make of tire I've had, durability is unsurpassed as you can see by the milage and handeling is great, especially on wet roads, don't know if you can get them to hydroplane in wet conditions. They lack a little in snow and ice but preform well if you just slow down like you should do anyway! Had only 1 flat in all the miles driven. Great security for my wife and I! Keep up the good work Michelin!!!

I have put 3 sets of LTX M/S tires on 3 of my vehicles. These tires are unbelievable; they wear great, aren't noisy and get really good wet and dry traction. My extended family has also been using these tires and has had great experiences with them. You cannot go wrong with these tires.

" Michelin equals security on he road"

Security on the road is the most important reason I buy Michelin tires for my vehicles. I feel safe with my family knowing I've equiped my SUV and cars with the quality of Michelin tires. They make my vehicles handle like they should in any condition wet or dry, hot or cold I know I can depend on my Michelin's.

Excellent traction on the ...

Excellent traction on the hot Florida Highways and most of all in the Florida downpours. The tires that came on my 2003 Honda when new would slide when excelerating from a stopped or slow position, not so with my Michelins. I now feel safe and secure both on the Highway and off in Sun or Rain. When I lived in Connecticut I always prepared for the Winter & Snow Storms with a good set of dependable Michelins for my Lincolns as I had tried several other brands that did not perform near as well nor did the tread last near as long. I have felt Safe and Secure with my Michelins for over 25 years now. The couple of times I tried another brand or purchased a car with another brand I have always gone back to Michelin as the other brands that I have experienced can not compare. Michelin is Number 1 for my cars.

Michelin - A Tire You Can Trust for Life

Have you had tires that did not last? Have you paid for tires that did not perform? Have you heard from a salesperson that told you how great a tire was and find out that the quality was below standard. Forturnate I experiance all of these early in life and fortuantely I bought my first Michelin tire also early in my life. I have bought only Michelin tires since I was 21 and I am 64 now. With the proper care (inflation, rotation, etc.) these tires on the average have lasted longer than the advertised rating and their tread life has been execeptional. Quality control is also outstanding as I have never had to return a tire for any type of blemish or related problem which is very important from a safety point of view. I am a long time owner of these tires as well as all of my familty who continue to rack up the miles and who contiue to experice the same satifaction and trust with the Michelin brand.

Buy only this tire!

This is the second set of these tires I have put on my Ridgeline. The first went well over 80k miles and were riding like they were from day one! Rotate, balance and enjoy the superior ride, traction and overall performance of this tire with complete confidence. Whatever you drive, you'll appreciate even more so sitting on these!

I have almost 60,000 miles on these tires. Tread depth shows they should be good for another 15,000 miles. Vehicle is a Ford f-350 crewcab with powerstroke diesel. Very good tread wear for this heavy vehicle. Wet traction is excellent, and winter/snow is very good. I often recommend the LTX M/S to individuals looking for a good all around tire. (LTX M/S 2 is latest edition of this tire and is supposed to have even more of all the things I like about this tire. That WILL BE the next set of tires put on my truck!).

Best Tire for SUVs and Light Trucks

I had a set of the Michelin Defender M/S tires on my 2004 Toyota Sequoia that I loved. I bought them on June 15, 2017. They ride very smoothly for an LT tire. Because they roll forever, as you approach a stop, you have to get your foot off the gas much earlier. I don't know how many miles I put on them but it was a lot! I like these tires so much that I bought new sets for my SUV and also my pickup.
