Mounted on F350 4X4. ...

Mounted on F350 4X4. Tires now have 40,000 miles, and appear to be almost new (Hope to "get" another 40K). Ride is difficult to evaluate, with a vehicle that normally has a stiff ride, but is acceptable when such is taken into consideration. Mileage on this vehicle is never going to be comparable to any smaller vehicle , but 15 to 18 mpg on the road is reasonable with an engine of this size (7.3L). Would I purchase them again?? With no hesitation.

LTX tire noise

I have always been a Michelin fan. The recent set of LTX's were installed at time of vehicle purchase in 2019 and got me 90,000 miles. I purchased a new set in May of 2022, they have roughly 10k miles on them. After the first rotation they began to howl. I expected a little but not like this. I took the vehicle to point of purchase and inquired about the noise. We rotated front to back but the noise remains. It's been too long and too many miles for a tire adjustment from the store so i'm about to pay additional money to swap out the tires for a new set but after reading other reviews about the noise i'm afraid my money will not be well spent. To me it seems Michelin's improvement to an already great tire is ruining my enjoyment of driving and the security of riding on the best. Not sure what to buy now.

Best driving characteristics; best value

I just returned from a trip in my Ford F150 from Strathroy Canada to Dallas Texas towing a 7000# trailer and I am more than happy with the control I felt from these tires. Each truck I have bought came with different tires, but when the trucks needed new tires, they were always Michelin.

Tires have excellent response and feel, with comfort.

I was already convinced to buy these tires. This set is better, and handles better than previous set of LTX I had a few years ago, and they performed extremely well. On previous set of tires, on a Yukon, my wife had a 'generator' trailer come off hitch ahead of her, on 6 lane interstate. Between the Michelin tires, Stabilitrak on Yukon and anti-lock brakes, she was able to maneuver from one side of highway to other, multiple times, coming down from 60mph, to avoid the erratic trailer.

Road Safety

We live in the Sierra Nevada mountain area and have warm summers and cold snowy winters. My wife and I are real estate professionals and need to be confident that our vehicles are safe and reliable as we share properties with our clients. Our Michelin tires have been great and we can handle the various conditions of the road we encounter each day.

Awesome Tires

I've had the LTX AT 2, and the LTX M/S2 on my last two vehicles and just replaced a set of M/S2s with the new Defender LTX M/S. Very nice ride on my Tahoe, two things like like better over the M/S2, the tread is actually a little deeper which will help since I live in snow country in the winter. Also the ride seems better along with less road noise. Overall I think Michelin hit a home run with these. one Awesome tire and will recommend to anyone that asks!

Will NOT Balance... and keep getting worse!

I have been buying Michelin LTX tires for many years now too include the MS/2 version. Without hesitation the LTX MS/2 were the best tires I have ever seen put on a truck. However with the advent of their new Defender series, I can honestly say they are the worst LTX tires they have ever made, they just will not balance out, the more I drive them the more they shake and shimmy. Last pair of LTX MS/2 had 115,000 miles on them, my 2002 Z71 Tahoe... LT285/70/17. The old tires had a better ride than the new tires do, (Defenders)... Shame, time to find another tire and manufacturer, never thought I would be saying that about the LTX Dave

A few months back I slapped on my second set of Michelin tires AFTER I finished getting 100k miles from my last set of LTX M/S! I truly believe regular rotations/balancing and proper inflation make all the difference in the world. Yes, these tires have a premium up-front, but you definitely get what you pay for in this case. That's why I have a new set of Michelins on my 4Runner now and we just put a new set on my wife's new MDX this past summer. I really have no desire to buy another brand - my experience with those tires was that good!

This set of tires is on a Ford Explorer. They are wearing exceptionally well, and are quiet on the road. Based on the tread depth left, I should get approximately 90,000 miles on this set. I have Michelin Tires on all of my vehicles and would not use any other brand of tires. I have been buying Michelin tires for over 25 years, and I have never been dissatisfied.

Amazing

After checking reviews on several tires for my 2002 Chevy Suburban, 4wd i settled on my first set of Michelin tires. Had about 40,000 miles on the vehicle at the time in 2005. The present milage is 150,000. Two tires were changed at 140000 due to a large puncture. Two are still running but will be changed in the next three weeks. They have not worn to the indicators and have no sign of drying. Probably an equal use of highway, pulling a 16 foot cargo trailer, and in town driving. Quiet and the milage. Mind you I rotated the tires every 10000 miles and kept them balanced and the front end alligned.
