Usage: Mixed mostly country driving. Traction is great and noise is not bad. BUT: AFTER NXX installed 275/60/20's on a 2008 Nissan Titan LE. Mixed millage has DROPPED over 10% with the new tires. Rolling resistance feels 'sluggish' even free rolling downhill. Needless to say, I'm very disappointed.

I have driven on almost every major brand of tire. I purchased these tires for my 4 wheel drive pick-up. I wanted traction yet comfort on the road. I believe these are the best riding tires I have ever owned. Well worth the price and they want be the last Michelin Tires I ever buy.

Put my new Michelin LTX tires on my Xterra last week - the ride is much smoother and quieter. Granted, my old OEM tires had 76K miles on them, but I still replaced with Michelin. Had the same tires on my 2003 Jeep Cherokee...loved them then too. Gives me a good sense of security in wet and snowy weather conditions. We are a Michelin family - have them on all three of our vehicles and my dads!

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.

Good riding, long-lasting tire. The exterior allows for black-wall or raised white letters (which I prefer) because it gives nice clean look to my vehicle. I have always gotten 40K+ miles while with other brand tires, usually around 36K. My last 5 sets of tires have been Micheln LTX M/S (3 sets) and Micheln LTX M/S2 (2 sets) They are quality tires and worth the extra in price. My only complaint would be the road noise on certain types of pavement. Other brands I have used don't even compare! With these tires I usually get 1-2 mpg better gas mileage. They are good on high-speed open highways as well as off road.

Just replaced the tires on my 2010 Nissan Titan this morning, and I am speechless! The LTX M/S 2's completely changed the truck, it's like it's new again! EVERYTHING is better, ride, handling, quiet, braking, even took away a slight drift to the left I was having. If these tires do as well in the snow here in Michigan as I have read they do, and last as long as they are supposed to, I will be completely blown away. I thought there had to be some hype about these tires in all the reviews, but I am a believer in them now. Next set of tires will be Michelin"s for my wife's car!

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.

I decided to get these tires based on other positive reviews. Micchelin tires have always been a sure bet for me and these did not dissapoint. So far at 45,000 miles, the tread has worn evenly and has plenty of life left. I will easily get 70,000 miles out of these tires. I drive a 2004 Nissan Titan and these tires have better traction and are much quieter than the stock tires. Great tires!

The tires handled and rode very well and have been the best in rain that I have had. The problem is that they are now needing replacement at 30,000 miles. I drive 25,000 miles a year and I cannot afford the cost of 4 tires every year. The reason that I got them in the first place is that they had the highest expected wear. I am very disappointed with this product.

I put these on my 2010 Tahoe, I could not believe the difference in the way the truck rides, the way it handles. Just amazing. Yes, these tires are on the high end but for the project tire life and the overall performance of them so far, I would definitely purchase them again. I have only had these tires on my truck for a month now so as for the wear life I can not make any comments yet.
