If your thinking about buying these tires but hesitant because of the price don't be! I have had a few sets of the Michelin LTX M/S on various trucks/SUVs and got over 70,000 out of each set. Since the M/S2's are the newer version I thought I would try them. So far I like them better then the M/S's they replaced but only have 10,000 miles on them. They provide good traction on dry pavement, snow and rain. Can't comment on trail ability of these tires. They provide a very quiet ride and wear evenly. Gas mileage is good and didn't change any from the M/S's to the M/S2's. I have never had a flat with these tires. I liked the looks of the white lettering on the M/S's better but it wasn't a deal breaker. I will continue to buy these tires for my trucks/SUVs for years to coming.

We recently purchased new tires for our SUV. This is the 2nd set of Michelins we've had on this vehicle. We were very impressed with the performance of the first set and felt we just couldn't compromise when it was time to replace them. We recognize Michelin Tires as the very best in terms of perfomance, wear and overall safety, we simply won't purchase anything else!

I needed some new tires for my 4Runner. I've owned Michelins on my honda civic so decided to get them on my suv. They were a little on the high end but I knew I was getting great quality. Tires are one of the things that you get what you pay for. So I got the 265 70 16R for my truck. And immediately, they were the best tires I have ever owned. Super quiet ride, even on a 2001 4Runner. These tires cut through the rain like a hot knife through butter. Ultimate traction and I have no concerns when I have my baby girl in the car with me and the weather conditions are not good. I would definitely recommend these tires to everyone. They are worth every penny!!

I purchased 4 new tires at the end of Oct,2010 There was a noticable difference from the tires I had . The tires went on my 07 Yukon & will be used as all year tires. I live in NY about 90 miles from the city. We do get snow & many times plenty of it. So far there hasn't been any & I hope it stays that way--but winter is winter ?. The tires have been on the Yukon for almost a month & there are about 1800 miles already,& you are able to feel the difference. The ride is much smoother,the handling on dry roads & rain has been great.- We are road warriors & do put miles on our vehicles. Besides the Yukon, which now has 87,000 miles there is a 04 Corvette & a Infinity M35x (which will need new tires after the winter) I will definatly research Michelins for the M. I will review the LTX M/S2 after we have had snow for my complete review.

Just replaced my 1st set if LTX MS2 tires on my 06 Tacoma. I removed them short of worn out (had 4/32nds still) due to winter weather coming soon & driving in such weather. I had over 84,000 miles on the them and they did a great job. I also run Michelins on my Harley, BMW, & Mazda- love them all.

I now exclusively run LT 235/80 R17 Michelin LTX-MS2 tires on my 2005 Ram 3500 4X4 dually. This truck is used to haul new RV's from manufacturer to dealer all over North America, to the tune of 150,000 miles per year. I have used 31 sets (pairs) of tires totalling one and a quarter million miles. Six different brands of tires in the mix. I can achieve 100,000 miles of wear on the Michelins, more than twice what I ever made on any other brand. My Michelins have not failed me at any time. The LTX-MS2 offers confident traction in the typical mix of road conditions encountered through the seasons from northern Indiana to western Canada. I have NO COMPLAINTS. These are simply THE BEST tire. A word about Green X; Understanding rolling resistance and potential fuel savings through tire technology may require scientific analysis few of us can manage. So simply considered, IF Michelin Green X, low rolling resistence tires succeed in gaining me just one tenth of a mile per gallon, then over the life of these tires, my fuel savings equate to, at minimum, the difference in cost from the least expensive tire in this range.

Was scheduled to replace tires today on my Sierra crew cab & couldn’t have picked a better day. Picked the Defender and while it’s only been one day can say the difference is incredible. I can tell a huge difference just driving in the lot, had to think if I was driving the same truck. Incredibly quite on the way home less roar, very smith more like riding in air with a firm grip. My only concern was speeding it always seemed as I was traveling 10 MPH less then I realy was.

Replaced original equiptment tires on 2010 GMC Sierra Z71 Crew Cab after only 25,000 miles. Didn't like the way they handled or the ride. Bought LTX M/S2 and now have about 75,000 miles on them, my pickup handles well on wet roads and last week drove about 100 miles in 4-5 inch snow. Couldn't beleive traction on tires with 75,000 miles! Hope to replace tires soon, but could likely get another 20,000 miles if I had too.

This is not the tire Michelin recommended for my vehicle. It is an upgrade to my old LTX's that went 120,000 miles without a problem. I just wanted to keep Michelin Tire on this vehicle sue to the reliability and durability of their product. I have found them to be a worthy replacement and a quieter tire than the previous model. If they go 100,000 I will be very happy.

This product is smootherr and quieter than the previous wrangler at/s tires. I did not need the more aggressive tire tread on the 2009 GMC Sierra. These are better for mainly highway driving and light off road terrain. Works well on rutted sand road and towing trailers.
