Just purchased these tires after much time reading various reviews on the internet. Wanted a tire that would offer all season reliability and still provide good traction on snow and icy road conditions. Here in Colorado they do a great job clearing the roads, but I often leave early in the mornings and it can be dangerous. We had our first snow of the season about two weeks after having these installed, and they were fantastic. They tracked extremely well in about 4" of fresh, wet snow. I never felt out of control of my vehicle. This is exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased these tires.

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.

My wife and I use our van for seeing America. We have made three trips since June,2012 . One trip to Colorado, one to the Everglades of Florida, and this summer to Cape Breton and PEI by way of the Maine coast. All trips were from our home in South Carolina. I check the air in all tires before each trip and trust my tires that we will have a safe trip. Michelin tires are made in our part of the state, which is one more reason to trust our tires.

Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.

I installed these tires on my 1999 Chevrolet Silverado and I drive about 12,000 miles per year for various purposes (work, fun, home projects and etc). This is the 4th set of Michelin tires I have purchased for various vehicles and have been very satisified with every set. The ride is smooth and the tire life is exceptional. The set I replaced on my current truck had about 95,000 miles on them. The tires cost more than about all the others out there but, when they last that long they are worth it. I highly recommend them.

This is my third set of LTX M/S tires on my 3/4 ton truck and at 286,000 I keep telling myself this will be my last set. These LTX tires are superb for for highway as well as the many offroad conditions I get myself into. I put lots of highway miles and rely on a smooth ride from my LTX'es. If my truck will make it to 340,000, I will most definitely put another set of LTX tires on it.

Tires are very quiet, wear like iron, and have awesome grip. I see all weather conditions in Illinois and every vehicle I own now has Michelin tires on it. I've had a few other brands over the years, but I'm convinced Michelin makes the best. They are definitely worth the extra money!

I have had Michelin tires since 1978, I first purchased them to put on my "Pinto Wagon" yes I said Pinto, she was a 1976. The car did not come with radial tires, and these tires changed everything. I have been a loyal Michelin owner since. The ride is awesome, the wear is awesome, and I feel very safe knowing I have Michelin tires on my Vehicle............ I put different Michelins on my Explorer this time, but the LTX/MS were on my vehicle, I purchased them.....the Latitude is also great, only a 5,000 mi difference in warranty.........If you can do it, always use Michelin. Michelin has come a long way, the one years ago had softer side walls, and that was rough in NYC, having to parallel park............ Thank you Michelin !!!

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 drive 80k to 90k a year towing/hauling from CA, to NV. in a company 3/4 ton truck. Michelin LTX tires gave me handling/braking whenever called upon, loaded or unloaded, If I was in the desert at 112 degree or 90 degree Ca. I felt secure driving on Michelen!
