I chose this tire for my Suburban, 03 4Runner, 02 Tacoma and my 91 4x4 4Runner. The 91' 4runner has had about 20 Michelin tires (they don't last forever) during the 200,000 miles or so since I purchased it. The 10.5 x 31 x 15 radials have been beyond Death Valley in deep desert on rough dirt roads and have brought me safely home time and time again. I used to fear a blow out at 70 plus miles an hour on the freeways after an extreme workout on desert dirt roads and rocks, that not ever happened to date.

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.

I used buy the older LTX;s what great smooth riding and handling tire and mileage had them on 4 vehicles...now a set of these new LTX Defenders on my 2014 Pro4x Xterra, man these tires RIDE HARD and handing not great at all 15000 miles on them sidewalls are to stiff from on road driving..next time I need tire I"m going back to the BF GOODRICH that they came from the factory new.

I have two vehicles and after retiring price became center to many everyday purchases and tires became a pricing issue; over and above performance. After I purchased a set of tires through an on-line discount for my BMW I felt all my future purchases would come from a tire discounter with focus totally on price. However, before I had to purchase tires for my Landcruiser I was faced with a potential deadly situation, a blowout on the freeway. As I drove on the freeway in the center lane of a three lane freeway at 60 miles an hour I ran over something on the road that caused a loud noise under the vehicle. After traveling about � of mile I started to feel the frontend of the vehicle vibrated and at the same time two 18 wheel trucks pulled next to me on the right and left sides. The vehicle continued to vibrate and the tire began to fail. As the trucks continued passed the tire blew completely out. Due to the structure of the tires I had on my vehicle I was able to maintain complete control of my vehicle and those tires were Michelin LTX M/S P275/70SR16. I can give a firsthand report - Michelin tires are lifesavers.

We were looking for a new set of tires and wanting great performance, longevity and ride noise. We came across this tire and for the first several weeks all has been good. We've dealt with some rain and icy conditions and no lack of performance issues so far. The ride noise has been the most impressive including during a road trip we took as well. We've been impressed so far with some of the key aspects we were looking for.

I use this tire on my everyday use truck, it is great handling and quiet. It feels great in any weather wet or dry. My only complaint is the cost, I wish it was just a little more affordable. But most of all I do value my life and that of my family and you can't put a price on that.

I have run michelins for the past 15 years and recommend them to all. To some they might seem a little pricey, but I have found that they are well worth the extra expense. I have had very little problems with these tires, a few have separated but overall I am very satisfied with my decision to run michelins.

Only now am I forced to replace the front tires, and that's primarily due to my AWD 4Runner's tendency to abuse the front rubber (and a September registration renewal). Rear tires have 15K+ miles of tread remaining, and this is from a guy who pays little attention to air pressures. Michelin has never disappointed me, and even though there are less expensive options, they are also cheaper in almost every respect. My next purchase will be another set of Defenders, without question.

This tire was highly rated in all the research I did, and it hasn't disappointed. I've had these about 9 months and in all weather conditions they've provided excellent traction, while wearing well. That's a huge change from the stock tires that came with my Highlander, which wore out in 40,000 miles. Sure, the better tread is a little louder, and it cut a mile or two off my gas mileage, but I'm glad I bought the LTX tires and will be looking at Michelins for my wife's car next.

This is our second set of LTX M/S tires for our E350 van. Fortunately we like them...as there aren't other options. The first set lasted approximately 65K miles, and through at least a couple of screw/nail patches in the tread in several of the tires. We did make sure to rotate them every time we had the oil changed which more than likely prolonged the life of them. (Imagine that, following the mfg instructions!) Hopefully this set will last us for another 4-5 years as well!
