Disappointed.

Smooth enough ride, feels like a sure grip ... but a tad noisy compared to our previous tires. The biggest disappointment is with the mileage. After expecting a modest improvement based on the marketing claims, our mileGe actually dropped from 10.7 to 11.5 with our mid-sized SUV ... same driving environment and driving habits ... 25/75 city/highway driving. Would not recommend these tires yet, based on our 2,000 km experience. The value just isn’t there. We were expecting more from our first ( and, sadly, probably our last) purchase of this brand.

2 year review on michelim defender

I had Michelin Defender tires for 2 years. They were awesome! These tires really stuck to the road, and I felt safe even when it rained. They hardly wore out, so I didn't have to buy new ones. It was like having a reliable friend on the road. I'll definitely get them again. Great tires!

I have driven on a set of LTX-MS on my 98' Expedition for approximately 6 years. The tires have performed superbly in handling, wear and ride comfort. I have not driven this vehicle off-road, but feel that these tires would hold their own in an off-road environment.

Great Ride!!

Not my first set of Michelins and not the last! But they will certainly be on twice as long as the last set that came on the truck and only lasted 35K and where anything but a comfortable and quite ride! The cost more but worth every penny and pay for themselves with the extra. mileage you get out of every set. The LTX never disappoints!

You get what you pay for.

The absolute best tire on the market in my opinion. I have always been a fan. Like many other drivers I have tried other brands when deals seemed to good to pass up, however, I have always returned to Michelin. The old saying, "you get what you pay for", is very true and aptly applies. These tires have the best ride and are extremely dependable. They will always be my first choice when new tires are needed.

Excellent traction on the ...

Excellent traction on the hot Florida Highways and most of all in the Florida downpours. The tires that came on my 2003 Honda when new would slide when excelerating from a stopped or slow position, not so with my Michelins. I now feel safe and secure both on the Highway and off in Sun or Rain. When I lived in Connecticut I always prepared for the Winter & Snow Storms with a good set of dependable Michelins for my Lincolns as I had tried several other brands that did not perform near as well nor did the tread last near as long. I have felt Safe and Secure with my Michelins for over 25 years now. The couple of times I tried another brand or purchased a car with another brand I have always gone back to Michelin as the other brands that I have experienced can not compare. Michelin is Number 1 for my cars.

Ultra Disappointed

I bought 3 sets of the previous generation version of these tires and was so happy. I couldn't wait to put the updated version on my Suburban. And then I did. Roughest and loudest tires I have ever owned-and I have had aggressive all-terrain tires on this same SUV. When I get close to 70 mph or faster, these tires are unbelievably loud. For the most expensive (or certainly one of) all-season tires you can buy, this is unacceptable. Thought I would just continue buying the best Michelin tires available every time I needed tires. I think that just changed.

I have had 2 sets of LTX M/S tires on 2 different vehicles and have loved them. Each time I switched from the tire that came on the vehicles to the LTX I experienced an immediate improvement in the ride comfort. I also have had excellent results with wear and performance. In fact I specifically put these on my current vehicle because of my prior experience and they did not let me down despite being a different size tire. They were just as good as before if not better. They have been on my current vehicle for over 50000 miles and are still producing outstanding results. I will continue to use these tires or perhaps the M/S2's in the future.

After 20K, they get real squirrely

After 20 years of buying Michelins, 1st time disappointed, very disappointed. With 20K of miles over 2 years, you won't want to drive these in wet or snow. Normal inflation checks & rotation was done. It was just amazing to me the dramatic decline in performance after 20,000 miles. Didn't notice any above average road noise & the Honda Element is a gas hog for a 4cylinder engine & 5-speed, so didn't notice gas mileage improvements or decline.

Safe and Comfortable

I have used Michelin tires on all of my vehicles both passenger cars and light trucks. Their performance in the rain and snow are exceptional. On the highway they are quiet and very responsive to road hazards. From an economic standpoint, these tires last for many miles thus the cost per mile is very low. I always recommend Michelin.
