I have been driving on these new tires for a month or so. I expected good grip and a nice ride and they delivered. I was pleasantly surprised how stable they feel. My old tires had a more aggressive tread and they felt mushier on the road. since almost all of my driving is on the read. These tires were the perfect choice.

I am 67, and began driving while being supervised at age 15. I was a professional truck driver for many years. I have had or driven dozens of cars, pickups, vans, straight trucks and semi trucks. I am not aware of any brand or tread pattern better than the Michelin LTX M/S. I have watched others experience the tires of their choices, how they made noise or the tread disappeared, or their choices were not even close to the Michelin on wet roads. Other than one source selling the same tire for less, I have not yet heard of or experienced a better tire. I am hoping to, by buying the new Defender for my van.. Thank you Michelin. Sincerely.

These are my first Michelins and I'm glad that I decided to make the investment. I live in New England and we received the obligatory late spring snow storm so I had the opportunity to test these tired in slippery conditions and they performed beautifully. I suddenly felt glued to the road regardless of the driving conditions. I also noticed an immediate difference in the quiet comfortable ride I had been missing from my vehicle all along. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra for these tires. They have changed my opinion on how much tires can make a difference in your 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!

I replaced to Defender LTX M/S from original Premier LTX which was recommended as 'same' by tire specialist for my Pacifica Limited AWD. Wrong! It is noisy and bouncy at all speed. Also lost 0.3 mpg. No big deal on mpg loss. This tire may be better fit for pickups and off roads.

I have had the original M/S on my SUV for 9.5 years 110 kms.best tire I have ever had I finally replaced them 2 yrs ago and they seem to just as good so far.Whether I will get the same performance and time is yet to be determined but have been very pleased to date.Live in Atlantic Canada so we do get a lot of snow but I have had no problem to date with performance.

My 2015 Escape came equipped with the worst (not Michelin) high performance tires on earth and literally were breaking apart in a short time. I was advised the Defenders were the best and I'm on my 2nd set. I've had Blizzaks on this car, but now that they're worn out, I find the Defenders do the job all seasons in Michigan!

When I originally purchased my truck it had the LTX MS. They lasted a total of two years and about 35000k when they were so weather cracked I was afraid of them blowing. As the truck was 2 years old had them replaced under warranty. Three years later and 45000k, again they were weather cracked. As they no longer make the straight LTX , I had to have them replaced with the defender LTX MS. They pick up stones like no ones business. If it wasn't for the mud flaps I would be repainting the bottom half of the truck. A terrible amount of road noise to boot. They do perform almost as well in winter , but not as well as the original LTX. These tires have been on a year, and if I have to replace them again in a year or two, I may be navigating out of the Michelin line..

Completed a 17,000 trip to Northern Canada including Dempster Highway which is known to chew up tires. Did a tire rotation halfway through trip and they are still looking good with no abnormal tire wear or damage. Have purchased many Michelin tires over the years and they are the best in terms of coming close to advertised wear life but you do need need to keep them inflated properly, balanced and do the rotations on a regular basis.

I must say I am very impressed..My brother told me about these tires and I wasn't sure about them..Once I purchased them I was truly impressed.. The best riding tires I ever brought.. They impressed me so that I brought a set for my wife car as well..This is my second set for my crossover...
