Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions. We hope that you will consider Michelin's as your replacement tires.

love the tires

I use my LTX M/S tire on my everyday truck and just love them traction is superb in all conditions and the road noise is almost non existent on these. The mileage on the tires is excellent as well and with proper rotation they run true for the life of the tire. The only con I can think of, is of course is the price on them but you get all that you pay for for sure. I have them on both of my trucks and just love them.

LTX M/S

I have always loved and purchased Michelin tires for my truck. The LTX M/S is an excellent all weather tire that I have been able to achieve up to 70 thousand miles on. So, when I needed a set of tires I didn't even consider any other brand. I purchased a new set and had them put on. Simple as that. I don't put a lot of miles on my pick up so even though they are 4 years old, they have almost original tread. However, they are cracked and rotting on the side walls. When I brought this to the attention of the dealer, he said that Michelin's are notorious for their environmental cracks. They are in terrible shape and according to the dealer, I'm stuck with them.

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction Just put a set on my wife's Grand Cherokee Ltd. . So far, excellent handling on any road type, quiet and secure feeling while driving at any speed. Have M/S's on my Commander and love them too. Best tire for endurance, range and quality for the price.

Wow

Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.

Best tires ever.

Had Michelin on Ford Expedition. Driving 56 years and use nothing but Michelin. Last set of tires had 75,000 miles and looked like they were new. Only replaced due to age. Only use Michelin. Have tried all the major brands, all take back seat to Michelin. No comparison. Never a problem, would recommend Michelin 100%. Best of the best.

My First Michelin's

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.
