these tires lasted 130,000 miles and still were not quite down to the wear bars. vehicle is a 2000 ford explorer and while i did not beat them up this suv is not babied either. even late in the tread life they performed extremely well in the rain and snow. the new LTX M/S 2's are even better starting and stopping in the rain. i do not believe that there is a better tire on the market, at least in this application.

I have these tires on a 2500 Dodge Ram 4X4 pickup and this truck rides as smooth on these tires as any car or van. The tires wear good too. This is the 2nd set of these tires that I have had on my truck and it is a 2003 truck. This set has been on the truck for about 2 years and they look as good as they did new. I love Michelin tires.

Have you had tires that did not last? Have you paid for tires that did not perform? Have you heard from a salesperson that told you how great a tire was and find out that the quality was below standard. Forturnate I experiance all of these early in life and fortuantely I bought my first Michelin tire also early in my life. I have bought only Michelin tires since I was 21 and I am 64 now. With the proper care (inflation, rotation, etc.) these tires on the average have lasted longer than the advertised rating and their tread life has been execeptional. Quality control is also outstanding as I have never had to return a tire for any type of blemish or related problem which is very important from a safety point of view. I am a long time owner of these tires as well as all of my familty who continue to rack up the miles and who contiue to experice the same satifaction and trust with the Michelin brand.

These are the best tires at any price point I have tried. They were initially purchased for my personal vehicles and I now order them for our fleet vehicles in the oil field. They have consistently exceeded the estimated mileage life cycle. The majority of the time they are replaced due to age. They are properly maintained and rotated but it does not effect the wear as much as other tires. They are not cheap but with these...you get what you pay for in life.

Bought these tires to replace the original tires on my Honda Pilot. Original tires wore completely out by 27,000 miles. After researching tires, not something I care to do again, and asking around, everyone led me straight to the Michelin LTX M/S for my SUV. They were right. My original tires were bumpy, really noisy, and just plain awful. Driving with the Michelin's on is like night and day. The difference was amazing and immediately noticed. The LTX's are quiet, comfortable, and have great traction both in wet and dry conditions. I will suggest to everyone to stay away from the cheaper tires (not sure that anyone should pinch a penny on tires...save that for peanut butter), stop looking, and just get the Michelin's. Your vehicle will thank you!

My Michelin Defender LTS M/S are now 83,000 miles and 5 years old and still have a few hundred miles left over. I keep very good care of them and rotate them every oil change. With time tires get hard and performance gets compromised so with this heavy rains is better to change. If you get such a long life is not such a big investment at all. I strongly recommend this tire which was the OEM on my F150.

My 2003 Ford Expedition now has 160,000 miles and I am now on my second set of LTX M/S. I got about 85,000 miles on the last pair which was a little less then I expected. The winter handling in Minnesota, along with the traction during the off road driving I do make them well worth it. Great handling and fairly quiet too. They do instill confidence in less then ideal conditions.

After 80,000 miles on the original factory LTX M/S there was no doubt about what my replacement tires would be! The next generation of the LTX M/S have not disappointed. In fact, they continue to exceed my expectations in all driving conditons. From rain to snow and the little off-roading I do, these tires handle everything! What I am most impressed with is the braking distance. I feel very safe and secure in my vehicle with these tires.

Awesome all season traction. These replaced my worn out AT2 tires that I also liked. When the new defenders were installed, I noted an average 28 to 32 km gain per tank of fuel for my truck. I’m very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend them for any light duty pickup truck owner

I was suprised to see Michelin tires on my 2008 Ridgeline when I purchased it new. Even after 20K miles, they still look new. Smooth riding and good traction for our snowy northern Minnesota winters. I would definitely replace them with the same tires when needed.
