I purchased this tire for road/highway use and bought based on tread design and depth. I was looking for traction on wet paved roads (especially when starting and turning uphill while starting) in Central Texas for my light rear ended, 98, Dodge Dakota P/U 4x4 with 5.2L. I keep 200 pounds of sand in the truck bed to aid in traction. This tire did not meet my desires. However, I have had 3 different brands over the 7 years I have owned the P/U and this tire has performed the best.

LT285/65R20/E 127/124R by far the worst set of Michelins I have ever owned. As with each new truck I replaced the stock tires on a brand new 2020 GMC 2500HD Denali with 30 miles on odometer. Dealer has balanced them twice within 500 miles. Still the bumps and vibrations are terrible. Is there a certified Michelin dealer in the 28546 that can check to make sure the tires are not defective?

I perchased the Michelen LTX M/S tires for my 2002 Chevrolet Suburban in 2006 after getting 50,000 miles on the origenal set.I truely could not beleave the differance in the way my suburban handled and the ride was better than when I perchased it in 2002. I now have 105,000 miles my suburban an the tires still handle great. I now have 65,000 miles on them and feel I can still get another 10 to 20 thousand miles on them.I feel that that is excellient for a large SUV. I will diffenitley replace them with a new set again.

I have the Michelin LTX M/S on my 2008 Ford F150 and I couldn't be happier. I only have a 2wd but in the snow they grip great even on some pretty bad on and off ramps from the freeway. When its wet I never feel like I am hydroplaning and when it's nice out they grip great when you want to nail it! These tires are worth the $.

We live in the Sierra Nevada mountain area and have warm summers and cold snowy winters. My wife and I are real estate professionals and need to be confident that our vehicles are safe and reliable as we share properties with our clients. Our Michelin tires have been great and we can handle the various conditions of the road we encounter each day.

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don’t hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

My LTX M/S tires are superior in every way to the previous 'other brand' tires that I had on my GMC Canyon pickup. The LTX M/S give an incredibly smooth ride for a light truck tire and they are quiet. They also seem to have a reasonable rolling resistance as my fuel economy remains up where it should be. I'm very happy with my decision to mount these on my truck.

A few months back I slapped on my second set of Michelin tires AFTER I finished getting 100k miles from my last set of LTX M/S! I truly believe regular rotations/balancing and proper inflation make all the difference in the world. Yes, these tires have a premium up-front, but you definitely get what you pay for in this case. That's why I have a new set of Michelins on my 4Runner now and we just put a new set on my wife's new MDX this past summer. I really have no desire to buy another brand - my experience with those tires was that good!

Bought a set of these Oct 2018 for my 2015 Ram 2500 to replace the Firestone OE tires at 25784 miles. DOT codes B71500AX0218,0318,5017,&5017. OK on backroads which is most of use, but very bad vibration at highway speeds 70-80mph. Checked alignment and checked for bent wheel - all ok. Rebalanced a month later at 27552 miles. Same problem. Rebalanced and switched Front to Rear at 28571 miles - problem almost completely cured. Rotated by dealer at 35015 miles - problem back. Rebalanced and switched front to rear at 36693 miles and again problem improved to acceptable level. Dealer rotated again at 40488 miles and problem on Interstates back as bad as ever. Rebalanced and swapped front to rear again and again acceptable at 42991 miles. Put 100k miles on F250 with previous design and never had a problem. Put 260k miles on 4 sets of Michelins on 2006 Toyota Avalon - no problem. Put 100k so far on Michelins on 2015 Avalon and 45k on 2019 Sequoia - again no problem - so it has to be something in at least one of the Defender LTX tires most likely one of the ones currently on rear. Definitely not what I expect from Michelin - Currently 45k miles on truck. Trying to figure out where to go next. Not happy with Defenders.

With proper rotation and inflation every 5000 miles, I have reached 80,000 miles on a set. I should have replaced at 75,000 miles just for safety. I live on a gravel road and these tires do not have rubber pieces chunking out from tires as another brand of tire I had on when I purchased this truck did. When I called that manufacturer about that set I was told not to drive on gravel roads. The Michelin tire is the most durable and safest tire I have ever used. I use them mostly for on road driving and I feel that this is the only light truck tire worth the money. I love the way they my truck handles when I have a set of Michelins on and I can count on at least 65,000 miles on a set in which that is what I have on them now and they still have about 10,000 miles left. This tire is a very quiet tire as far as road noise is concerned. I recommend nothing but Michelin tires for light trucks.
