Michelin LTX M/S2 - 3 sets owned. We have two SUV's of the same model but different years. We first bought the Michelin LTX M/S2 for my husband's SUV approximately 6 years ago. Two years later, I purchased a different manufacturer's tire for my SUV. We both drive quite a bit and typically accumulate 20k miles a year. I had issues with hydroplaning on wet pavement as well as slippage in turns on dry pavement, and snow/ice driving was pretty poor as well. My husband thought I was crazy and I must have been driving too fast! Fast forward to fall 2012. I was in desperate need of replacing my other manufacturer's tires. I couldn't imagine another Ohio winter with my current tires. My husband and I agreed, that his Michelin's still had much more tread on them than my tires, they handle all road conditions better and the price is reasonable, so we replaced my tires with the Michelin LTX M/S2. I had a great winter driving experience with no issues of hydroplaning or slippage AND no problems with the snow/ice! In the Spring of this year, we finally replaced his tires with another set of the Michelin LTX M/S2. He drove 2 1/2 years longer on his Michelin's than my competitor's tire. Lesson learned. As long as Michelin makes tires, we are happy Michelin customers!!!

This is the first set of Michelin tires I have owned and they have been great. I preach on the Tohono O'odham reservation along the US/Mexican border and the roads are very rough at times. I have driven in deep water, mud, sand, rocky terrian and deep ruts. These tires have handle extremely well and I have been very pleased with their performance.

I am more than pleased with my Michelin truck Tires. Ihave always wanted them but kept putting it off because I wanted to purchase all four at the same time. I live in Arizona and have to contend with quite a mixture of weather. Snow in the winter time (Mountains), rain and heat in the spring, fall, and summer. The tread is like brand new, and works well in the rain when surfaces are very slick. I will be putting them on my new car very shortly so that both vehicles are safe.

I bought these tires as a replacement for my Xterra 4x4. Was looking for a long life tire, good in the snow, excellent in the rain, and quite. I drive a significant amount of highway miles a year >20k, and do road trips for vacations in the winter to climates that need tread. I am at 45k into the 70k mile rating, still holding strong, still quite, still doing their job like I need them to. Rain and snow have plenty of bite, and the occossional lite off roading hold up as well. Will most certainly go back with these or the comparable michelin product at that time. ....waiting for the other new car's tires to wear out so i can get the defenders on there.

I just bought these for my 2005 ford Ranger pickup before going on a 600 mile business road trip, and I immediately noticed a smoother ride and less road noise. And i may be imagining things, but I'd swear I'm getting better fuel economy! My previous tires were also Michelins (different model) and did well (I got over 80,000 miles out of them) but these seem even better (maybe just the fact they are new). Anyway, so far so good. I guess time will tell. I know this much; If you rotate your tires every 4 to 6 thousand miles, these tires will last a very long time.

I have been using Michelin tires for a couple of decades now and have been very impressed by their performance until my last set of LTX M/S2's. My last set of LTX M/S I got 74,000+ miles out of them with tread left. My present set of LTX M/S2's is just over 52,000 miles and they need to be replaced. I have been able to get exceptional performance from tires in the past and am very consistant in driving habits. Braking is good and traction in good, but the mileage is disappointing. I'm not very impressed with these LTX M/S2's and wish Michelin would go back to the original LTX M/S. I think I'm looking elsewhere.

I have had a set of four Defender LTX 245/65 R17 on my Toyota Higlander for six months, I have had many dozens of Michelin tires over the last 40 years. I have always found them to be the best tires available. Best ride, and quietest tires I have had. This last set has been very disappointing. They are the noisiest tires I have ever had.

From the very first time I got these Michelin's, I've been smiling. They're the most quietest, smoothest riding tire I've had. The first set lasted longer than the wear life was rated which makes the cost of these even a better deal. I've had many brands before these, but will never go back. They're great on rain and snow. The traction makes handling easy and safe, even in braking. I've even seen better gas mileage. Other tire companies should try to match your excellence.

The perfect tire. 78K miles and 11/32 tread depth all around. Quiet, responsive and great traction. Great gas milage for Landcruiser with front bumper winch 18mpg. Bought tires 36 months ago. 65% HWY/35% Local . Very confortable ride and easy to balance and rotate. Proper inflation is a must. Braking is outstanding. These Michelins make the Landcruiser feel as though it is on rails. At this rate of wear these Michelins will probably last 10+ years before the tread depth reaches 2-3/32. I am looking forward to my next set of these. Would not use any other brand of tire. Top tier/ best of the best..GO MICHELIN!!!!!

THE MICHELIN LTX M/S IS AN AWESOME ALL SEASON RADIAL TIRE. IT PERFORMS IN THE SUMMER DURING THE RAINY SEASON WITH UNSURPASSED TRACTION AND ROAD CONTROL. IN THE WINTER, WHO NEEDS CHAINS? NOT ME! THESE TIRES GET YOU WHERE EVER YOU NEED TO GO. OF THE LAST TWO SUV'S I'VE OWNED, I HAVE WORN OUT ONLY TWO SETS OF MICHELIN LTX TIRES AND CURRENTLY ON MY THIRD SET. THATS A COMBINED MILES TOTAL OF OVER 210,000 MILES. IF THERE IS ONE THING THAT MIGHT BE WRONG WITH THEM, IT'S THAT THEY ARE JUST SO DARN GOOD.
