I am on my second set of ...

I am on my second set of these tires and I would not buy anything else. They have been the most reliable and high quality tire I have ever had on a vehicle. On both sets, I have gotten well over the estimated miles. The ride is great and I appreciate Michelin's desire to have the best product possible. Hooray for Michelin.

I like the tire

I was having trouble with left turns in wet conditions with our 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. The tires on the vehicle would not grip the pavement in this turn. This is the third set of tires for the vehicle and I no longer am having the car slip in wet conditions. I am in need of replacement tires on my Chevy Impala soon and will most likely use a Michelin for this vehicle as well.

Terrible Tramlining

I have always liked the performance of my Michelin tires but the tramlining on this set is a definite negative. I truly would not have purchase them had I known that it would be this noticeable. I needed new tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I put on about 35K miles a year so I didn't hesitate getting these as I have never had this problem with other Michelin's on my cars. Very irritating considering half of my daily commute is on grooved pavement.

I mounted these tires on a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. The ride is incredibly smooth. I have been a loyal Michelin customer for just about as long as I have been buying tires. These tires provide the ride and durability I have come to expect from the Michelin Man.

Should I be happy with the mileage (over 90K miles)?

I bought these tires (LT265/75R16) several years ago for my Nissan Frontier after the factory originals wore out after about 40K miles. I currently have almost 100K miles on these and they are just now telling me that I need to think about replacing them. I am planning on keeping my truck (only 140K miles on it) so I am looking for the same model tire.

5 out of 5 stars review

Best Tires EVER Owned

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

I have used a total of 48 of these tires since 1989 on two different Dodge 3500 dually trucks,carrying a Lance camper at 5,000 pounds loaded, often towing boats from 17 to 23 feet and travelling from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Anchorage. Alaska and throughout Western 1/2 of the US without a single failure. These tires performance in a mix of heavy loads, hot highways and bad roads have given me great confidence during my widely varied travels! I will be a lifelong customer of this superb and reliable product.

Only tires I've driven past warranty.

The tires that came with new Silverado lasted about 27,000 miles. I was sorely disappointed, so I bit the bullet and bought the ltx m/s and I haven't looked back. I had owned a set of Michelins on my old car and they lasted a long time but I just wasn't sure how well the truck tires would do and they were pricey. I'm not off roading, just hwy miles but I managed to make those babies last PAST the 80,000 mile warranty. So I figure I actually saved money by not replacing cheap tires 2 or 3 times. They have a smooth ride and are much better than the old ones on water. Snow and ice... not so much. But we only have a few days of nasty winter weather so I can live with that. I love these tires. Now on my second set.

Got a good price on these tires over the phone. Salesman switched me to a house brand. We could not get the vibration balanced out after 3 times including a "road force" balance. I insisted he take them off and give me the Michelins for which I originally asked. We installed the Michelins and with one or two tiny weights, instead of all the heavy ones on all the wheels, I have the smoothest ride anyone could ask for. It made me remember the words of a friend who was a service advisor for a car dealer who told people with balance problems, "do yourself a favor and let me sell you some Michelins. In every case it solved the problem. I will ONLY use Michelins!

Exceeded the warranty!!!

I bought these tires and regulary aired and rotated them per the manufactures recomendations. The tires exceeded the waranty by 14,000 miles. I will never by another tire. The tires are quite on the roads and highways and grip well in all weather. I am now on my second set and they are performing well. I own a 3/4 ton pickup and regularly tow and haul heavy loads. Michelin knows tires and they have a customer for life. Keep up the good work Michelin.
