Outstanding tire

Replaced OEM Good Years on my 2021 Ram 1500 Crew Cab. The Defender LTX MS tires are awesome! Smooth ride and soaKs up bumps like a champ. Great traction I’d dry and wet. When new tHere was a little more tire squirm in turns compared to good years but very minor. The ride qUality improvement makes truck feel like luxury car. Also seeing improvement in mpg. Jumped from average of 26 MPG to 27 to 28 mpg on same route.

Awesome Tire awesome treadlife

I have run Michelin tires on the last 3 vehicles I have owned. I have purchased less expensive tires trying to stretch a dollar, and have discovered the cheaper tires do not stay in balance and do not have nearly the same tread life. I have had one road hazard experience while in my truck with an 800 pound Harley Davidson in the bed. I hit a 2X4 lost from a vehicle in front of me while traveling in excess of 60 MPH, the result was an immediate loss of tire pressure and tire running flat. I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road safely, crossing through 2 lanes of California freeway traffic. Upon inspection of the damaged tire I discovered that the 2x4 had gone through both sidewalls of the tire, even with that the beads stayed attached to the rim allowing me to safely stop. I am sold on Michelin tires and will never purchase another brand.

Defender LTX M/S Tires

I was told that these tires could be put on my Ford Taurus SEL, He said theses tires were for a car, then I told him that LTX means for Light Truck. I love the tires and they handle excellant, but I still have my doubts about these tires being for a car. So you tell me Michelin.

Rick, there are several tires that would work well on your Ford Taurus SEL, depending on your driving style. Our records indicate we have discussed several options with you other than the Defender LTX M/S. Should you have additional questions, you can contact us at 866-866-6605.

Greastest Tire Ever

I have 2005 Colorado pickup and I bought the LTX MS tires for it. I thought I was going to have to bury the truck with these tires on it. They lasted for 110000 miles and look good when I replaced them. Of coarse I replaced them with LTX MS tire and when ask why I bought Michelins again I responded by telling them (didn't you hear me I had 110000 miles. Yes they cost a little more but I could buy 1 set of LTX instead of 2 sets of another brand. In fact the old set is still being use on a Farm trailer. and still look good.

Installed 17 Years & Still Great Tread & Running Smooth

Had 4 of these put on my truck in 2003 and all still have good tread and have had ZERO issues. Changing these out for 4 new Michelins X LT AS just because of age. Decided to go with the other model due to the reviews here and I hope it will not be a mistake.

Safety, reliability, long ...

Safety, reliability, long lasting, good value are the things I look for in my tires. I have tried less expensive tires in the past and regretted that choice. Peace of mind at not having to worry about my tires when I am driving and not having to buy new tires for a long time. Knowing I have one of the best tire choices on my vehicle, then I can think about the rest of the choices I have to make in my life. I have been a happy Michelin man for many years.

Quiet tire for me

I bought the Defender LTX 265/70R16 for a 2005 Toyota 4Runner to replace the LTX M/S2 that had 72,000 miles. I found the newer Defender LTX quieter than I expected and quieter than the older design LTX M/S2. I was not expecting that from a few of the reviews which indicated noise. All I hear now are wind noise, or engine noise if I accelerate, no tire noise. I am wondering if tire balance or other issues caused some reviewers to experience noise. I tested my new Defender LTX at all speeds up to 70 mph and especially in the 65 - 68 mph range where I typically see a balance issue the most if there is one, and these are well balanced tires.

Loss of Fuel Economy, more road noise

I have been a lifelong Michelin customer. Recently purchased these and my highway fuel economy dropped from 19mpg to around 16.6mpg. I have these tires on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali which replaced an older set of LTX M/S2 tires that were great. These also have more road noise than the previous model of tire. I've seen reviews that provide the explanation that newer tires are more grippy so i should expect some loss of fuel economy and noise, but this is the first that i have ever experience in a tire from michelin. My previous tire, put them on and all was good, nice and quiet, with the fuel economy that i would expect.

GREAT TIRE

I bought these tires in June 2021 and really like the way the handle the road. The only thing I do not like about them is they sling gravel or catch (pick up) items off the roadway, I have running boards but you can hear the gravel hit the under truck or the running boards. I don't know if over time it will chip my vehicel. I had the AT/2 Michelins up to 181 thousand on truck and had no complaints there but these had 10 thousand extra miles on the life of tire so thought I would try them out, so we'll see.

Past performance makes the choise easier

Have had Michelin on many vehicles over the past years, 2 weeks ago put new ones on my wifes suv and today getting new ones on my S 10 pick up. I like the wear, performance and overall constrution, you get what you pay for! There was no need to compare with other brands, my past experience and auto back ground makes the choise simple, Michelin!
