I have bought the Defender LTX MS tires for 3 separate vehicles that I have owned over the last three years and folks I can tell you, this specific Michelin is nothing short of a nightmare for me and my family. If or when you do find a good set of four, the ride quality is nothing short of phenomenal, but be warned, you might have to go through 12 of these tires to find four that is not defective. The reason why I keep buying this model is the fact that when you do find a good set, they are the most comfortable and with extremely low noise, because as good as the other models of Michelin tires are, most of them are extremely noisy. I have used countless other models of Michelin tires and kind of gave up on them due the high levels of noise, but other than high noise level, they were excellent all round tires. Michelin really need to spend more time in scrutinizing their quality because which ever factory they are using to make this specific model, they are way off the mark. The vibration from the defective ones are so bad that there are times when driving down the highway that I look over at other drivers to see their reaction if they can see my vehicle shaking. Due the vibration issues, I have even been trying to find this exact model tire in the European market, so I could have them ship here to me in the USA, because I was told the Michelin tires that are made in France are of higher quality. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have this in Europe. Michelin should be ashamed to put out this poor quality tire with their name on it.

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!

These tires were original equipment for my 2009 Honda. My current ones have 90k miles and are finally being replaced. Super traction in the snow, I never had a problem, and I live in NE. That is 5 hard winters of driving and I can count on one hand the number of times my vehicle traction control actually came on. Remarkable. Another storm coming, time for some new sneakers for the truck.

Overall I have been very satisfied with the M/S I have it on two 4Runners a 1995 & a 1998. I have noticed the tendency to wander when on traveliing down grooved freeways but on regular freeways and roads they track beautifully and the wearability and durability of these tires has amazed me. the first set I ran on the 98 4Runner ran over 100,000 miles without incident.

Our Ford Edge is six years old with 40,000 miles and I recently replaced the original equipment Michelin tires with Michelin Defender XLT tires. They have a good looking profile and preform well on wet roads. I am confident as I face the oncoming Winter.

I replaced the tires on my Roadtrek 200 Motor home. I couldn't believe the difference in the handling, how it held the road. They made the ride much smoother with less rattle in the vehicle. I own 5 vehicles and in the future will use Michelin on all of them. I can drive with confidence!

I started using Michelin Tires 8 years ago. This brand is the only tire I can say will actually last it's mileage and then some. The last set I had, lasted 6 years, and when I had them replaced, the mechanic could not believe how old they were and how many miles they had.

I plced these tires on my Yukon at 60,355 miles on it and currently have 147,500 miles on my vehicle. The LTX M/S has given me over 87 thousand miles (mostly Interstate) of safe, comfortable and worry free driving. Using the quarter test, I can barely see the top of George's head. I'm told I still have another 10,000 miles, or so, and will be replacing my existing tires with a new set of Michelins.

These make my 2004 explorer more stable, quieter, and overall a much smoother ride. It literally changed the way the entire ride feels. It's not as splashy (sways less also) and definitely feels much more solid, but not firm or harsh. Wet weather is no problem and it handles snow well also. Would have bought M/S 2's but they were not available in size I needed fort limited edition explorer.

I have been a Michelin customer for over 25 years. Never had a problem with them. Talked my kids into purchasing Michelin tires and they love them. I am convinced that Michelin tires saved my life last year when I got shoved into the median on thy interstate running over 75 mph and they hugged the grass keeping me from flipping. Thanks for a great tire.
