If it's not Michelin, I'm not interested

My son has an older model Jeep Cherokee Limited with over 150K miles. The Jeep had set of Michelin tires which we loved the ride and the durability. We visited a local retail shop and they had sold out of the Michelin for that size car. The salesman recommended several high quality tires that he had in stock as an alternative. After considering his pitch, I simply said "If it's not a Michelin, I am not interested." Interestingly the saleman replied, "I think you are right. No question, Michelin is the best tire." After some reseach, I was able to find a set, ordered them and waited a couple of day for the tires to arrive. It was absolutely worth it. We drive the Jeep in mixed conditions; rain, snow, mountain gravel roads and interstates. Thanks Michelin for making such a great product!

Best driving characteristics; best value

I just returned from a trip in my Ford F150 from Strathroy Canada to Dallas Texas towing a 7000# trailer and I am more than happy with the control I felt from these tires. Each truck I have bought came with different tires, but when the trucks needed new tires, they were always Michelin.

We have had these tires ...

We have had these tires for over 70,000 miles and they still have tread left. Over the last 10,000 miles or so I have noticed that they have gotten louder. Also, they now have a tendency to when pulling away from a stop sign or making a tight turn in a parking lot. These have always been excellent in the snow and good in the rain. Even though these tire were probably the most expensive tires I have purchased, the are by far the best I have ever had. They outlasted the stock tires on my Highlander 2WD by over 40,000 miles. They also had much better handling and traction than the stock tires. I plan on replacing these in the next month or so with a new set of these or the LTX MS/2

Stop Looking

I bought these for my 04 Range Rover....19inch and Went with the 60 series....Fantastic tire...fills up the wheel well....they corner without noise....They stick to dry pavement with all the traction my Rover can use. They never break loose on dry asphalt. Deep snow is fine as long as it's not hard to push through. They offer great traction on snowy roads mind you I have all wheel drive. They are super quiet and I have tried many brands....These are the best...anyone says different they have bad suspension, or they are not capable at discerning a difference. In two years the new tire rubber bits have just worn off. Off road...slick rocks, moderate sand, 6 to 8 inches of mud...river crossing, hill climbing...truthfully...good enough for 90% of what I do. I may go with the AT2 but unfortunately I have to buy new 20 inch rims. They don't make them in 19inch....COME ON MICHILEN MAKE 19INCH PLEASE!!! I prefer the larger side wall...60...65....They are quieter...they ride smoothly and they have more cushion when you are off road!....MAKE THEM PLEASE....255/60/19 AT2...Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

Second set of LTX M/S on Ford Edge AWD

This is the second set of LTX M/S we have installed on our Ford Edge AWD. We live in an area that receives considerable snow fall. We were so impressed with the first set that we replaced them with another. They are quiet on the highway, provide sound handling, great traction in wet and snow while providing decent wear or longevity. When this set wears out, I'd gladly put on another.

Best tires I have ever owned

I bought 4 new tires from my local car dealer. The tires perform in all types of weather with excellent grip. In addition, the tires have given me great wear, they currently have 45,000 miles and still show a significant amount of tread. There is no road tire noise of any kind and I get great mileage. So, in summary, very safe, great wear, no noise, great mileage and no required maintenance (other than allignment). Yes, I will buy them again.

BEST TIRES EVER ! IMPROVED MY RIDE 75 %

Just bought these Defenders . My 2011 Ford f150 never rode so smooth ! Excellent in the rain and man talk about an improved ride. It's literally like a different truck. They are without a doubt the best tires I ever owned ! The best money I ever spent ! I never do reviews but went out of my way to do complete this one. You truly only get what you pay for. I am 67 years young and these are the BEST !!!!

Hit or Miss

These tires are hit or miss in my opinion. They perform great in snow and ice, but the My first set lasted maybe 25,000 miles, while the second set have 50,000 miles on them and still look brand new. I was told the reason why my first set wore out so quickly is because my tie rods needed to be replaced and this voided the warranty. Not sure if that's true or not, but the original set had little pieces of rubber chunking off regardless if they were on the front or back.

Great Miles

My 07' Honda Ridgeline came equipped with the LTX M/S tires when new, when I replaced the original tires with new LTX M/S tires the original tires had been driven in excess of 92,000 miles and were not yet worn to the wear bars. I personally rotated the tires according to Honda's recommended intervals and maintained the correct pressure @ 31 psi. No repairs were needed throughout entire the life of the original tires. The Honda Ridgeline is known to be a bit-road-noisy so I don't feel I can be objective on the issue of road noise for this tire. Yep on recommending this tire, I brag on it all the time. The Ridgeline is a 4X4 all wheel drive, I hunt in the Big Cypress Swamp-Florida Everglades-and have a permit to use my truck, so far I haven't needed assistance. Cheers
