Overrated treadlife - Very Disappointed

Bought these tires for my vehicle and after only 31000 miles, was back at the tire dealership shopping for new tires due to the excessive treadwear. This was the second set, both of which came way short of the mileage rating. Have been a life long purchaser of Michelin tires due to the quality and ride but these were a huge let down. Grateful for having a terrific dealer that was interested in trying to find a suitable replacement in a different brand. Not what I expected from Michelin.

Great tires

I just put these on my 2017 Tacoma TRD off road 4x4 and so far, they’re great! Took them on the highway after installing and no noise at 70+ mph. Ride comfort is great. Interested in seeing how they perform in rain as my stock tires didn’t do so well.

Not what it first appears to be.

This tire has performed very well on my E-350 van. The only drawback to date has been the break in period for tire squirm. The tall tread pattern made for soft steering. It took approximately 1,000 miles of driving to break in the tire and now it is functioning much like I had expected.

No More Jeep Death Warble!!!

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.

I bought these tires for my Ford Edge base on recommendations from friends. So far I have been very happy with their performance. They ride great and are quiet. They have also performed well in the snow here in Michigan. We are so happy with the tires, we are looking at getting them for our Ford F150.

Stop Looking

I bought these for my 04 Range Rover....19inch and Went with the 60 series....Fantastic tire...fills up the wheel well....they corner without noise....They stick to dry pavement with all the traction my Rover can use. They never break loose on dry asphalt. Deep snow is fine as long as it's not hard to push through. They offer great traction on snowy roads mind you I have all wheel drive. They are super quiet and I have tried many brands....These are the best...anyone says different they have bad suspension, or they are not capable at discerning a difference. In two years the new tire rubber bits have just worn off. Off road...slick rocks, moderate sand, 6 to 8 inches of mud...river crossing, hill climbing...truthfully...good enough for 90% of what I do. I may go with the AT2 but unfortunately I have to buy new 20 inch rims. They don't make them in 19inch....COME ON MICHILEN MAKE 19INCH PLEASE!!! I prefer the larger side wall...60...65....They are quieter...they ride smoothly and they have more cushion when you are off road!....MAKE THEM PLEASE....255/60/19 AT2...Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

Tire vibration is bad

I have about 30,000 miles on these tires. I previously had 2 sets of LTX M/S 2 tires and they were great. I have never been able to get these tires to balance properly. On certain road surfaces, these tires vibrate and make the steering wheel shake. It's not all roads and not always at the same speeds. I will not buy these again. Please build the LTX M/S 2 again.

These tires are excellent on wet roads and in snow and ice and wear very well. This is hard to beat for skiing and wet conditions. Handling is also good. They do ride a little rougher than the original passenger tires but I consider this an excellent trade off.

Best Ride and Safe Tires

I was doing an oil change on my 2004 Tundra and asked my wife to look at the previous receipt for the last set of these same tires. She said 80,000 miles and ten years ago. although the tread was still good, I had noticed some steering wheel wabble at low speed and a slight pull to the left and had two shops check the alignment on my 120K miles Tundra. They both said your alignment is fine, so I drove it for a year or so trying rotation without a cure. I told her "These tires are good, but Old and hard". I put on this fresh set and Wala! no more vibration and no pull. Man this thing rides like the Tundra should. I know these tires are $$ but worth it to me. By the way I got 100,000 miles on the same Michelin Defenders on my Honda CRV.

I would definately buy these tires again

I now have over 75,000 miles on these tires and they're still in good shape. They are quiet and have never had any tire noise which seems to be more and more common these days. I will replace these tires when needed with the exact same ones and am certain I will have great service from them as well.
