Best Truck tire

Only tires for my Ford F-350. Best tire that provides handling, traction, mileage and apperance for my truck. Worth every penny to know that they will preform in all situation that I'll take my truck. Drove in a heavy down pour towing my fifth wheel camper with no problems at all. Looking forward to a long service life from these tire because the last set had over 60,000 on them and I have them saved for a quick spare if one of these new ones failed.

Best Tire Period

I bought these tires for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These are by far the best tires I have ever owned. They are a 5 star in every category. They ride like a dream and are super smooth and quiet. The traction in the rain is phenomenal. Absolutely no hydroplaning. They grip the road and don't budge no matter how wet the road is. I am more than anxious for the snow so I can see how they handle in snow. I average 75 - 80 mph and they just glide. No bumpy ride and definitely not noisy. I love these tires! Worth every penny!

The Best tire I ever had on my truck!!!!

I bought 4-new Michelin LTX M/S tires when I replace original tires from my Ford F150 at 62,000 miles. Now my Ford truck has 162,000 miles and my Michelin tires still going strong! The tires have over100,000 milles!!!!!!!!!!! & looks like it will last another 100,000 miles. I'm in a constuction field and I drive my truck to work carrying lot of toool & constuction materials. The Michelin tires are the best tires I ever had and I highly recommend to everyone. The Simply the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I purchased a used Ford ...

I purchased a used Ford Explorer 4x4 from a Ford dealer with a mis-matched set of tires. Knowing the vehicle was based on a truck platform, I still felt the highway ride should have felt better than what I was experiencing - loud tire whine,vibrations and a rough ride. I quickly replaced the OEM shocks which improved the ride somewhat, but it wasn't until I went to my Michelin dealer and he recommended the LTX M/S tires than I finally had the improvement I was looking for. After I replaced that mis-matched set of tires with the new Michelin LTX M/S's and drove it home, I thought my Explorer had been replaced with a look alike. I mean everything about the performance was dramatically improved! The ride was smooth with no tire whine and no more annoying vibration. It felt like the vehicle was finally gripping the road. And in the rain, it felt like I was riding on rails. Who knew tires would've made such a huge difference? I do now! I finally felt safe and secure, like I now had a vehicle that could take me anywhere. I'm a Michelin fan for life now! No other tires for me.

Michelin LTX MS original and Michelin Defender LTX M/S

I had the original Michelin LTX MS and now have about 500 miles on the new Defender LTX MS. I think Michelin really got it right with the whole design of this tire. The original LTX is a great beloved tire. It provides good all season traction, a smooth quiet ride and decent tread life. I see the difference to the LTX MS2 and the Defender LTX I am driving is mostly in the outer shoulder block tread design. Its not open so water and slush can evacuate more easily. I like this idea. So far I love the new Defender. My only advice to Michelin and keep a decent tread depth on your tires. For an SUV or truck 11/32 should be the minimum.

ROAD NOISE

I am a big Michelin tire fan I think they are great tires until I bought these tires they were great for the first 3,000 miles but then it started the ROAD NOISE ! it drives me crazy. I bought them for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland it was the worst thing that I could have done. They hold the road great in all types of weather but the noise drives me crazy.

Quality and Safety

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

This top of line really the top of line!

The LTX M/S tires provide the greatest control for all-weather driving conditions to me. And, this is substantial since I drive a small truck. The rear-end is quite loose, especially when the roads have precipitation on them. The tires provide the traction that is needed for the city traffic which I have to endure. I would and have recommended Michelin tires to family and friends. Michelin has a life-time customer! Thanks for making such a great product!

Wears Well

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.

Faith In Four

I purchased this very set 7 yrs ago for my '95 Z-71 SLE GMC which has 270,000 plus miles and never been happier with a single set of tires. I have driven these tires for 73,000 miles and still have 3/16 thread left on them. Being the frist owner of this truck (and yes, it is in immaculate condition all original), it has never been off road, but it has been thru some severe snow storms and have passed several trucks when roads have been bad. As far as rain, I've never been more confident in a set of Michelin tires, than these.
