love the tires

I use my LTX M/S tire on my everyday truck and just love them traction is superb in all conditions and the road noise is almost non existent on these. The mileage on the tires is excellent as well and with proper rotation they run true for the life of the tire. The only con I can think of, is of course is the price on them but you get all that you pay for for sure. I have them on both of my trucks and just love them.

Awesome Tire for all around use

I've changed the tires that came w/ my Honda Pilot to the LTX M/S. We drive onto the beach in DE, w/ 6 other families. We all have these tires. From my stand point; there are 2 big pluses I have seen. When driving onto the beach I only have to drop the pressure down to 25 psi and most of the time I don't have to drive in 4x4. The second feature is the way these tire handle in the wet weather, one word AWESOME! I would recommend thses to a friend, because friends have highly recommened them to me.

Excellent choice

I own 7 vehicles and 6 of them have Michelin defender's other 1 has Michelin Pilot Sport. that wear great NO Problems. No balance issues, they wear proper. Work great on snow and ice (tires help on snow and ice but only if you actually know how to drive on it). Excellent wet weather traction. I don't have tpms (tire pressure monitoring system) on none of them, don't want it and don't need it! I can feel if it doesn't feel right and I'll pull over and check. I also check tire pressure's on a regular basis. I don't rotate every oil change or any of that mess. I rotate only when it's needed. I'm changing a set on my 2000 Honda Accord V6 in the morning (6-29-24) that has around 68,000 miles on them with 3/32 left on them and only rotated twice (car driven VERY regularly to Duke children's hospital 2.4 hr drive 1 way, I just ain't trusting any other tire for it). My alignments are right. Never ever will there be a so called "special on alignment" ever done on anything I own, all they do is toe and go or just get it to look good for the printout. I do my own set to exact specs! Absolutely no worn parts. If you're ever told "we can adjust it for it being worn". Nope, you just got took. On another note you can not buy tires only by size and price you have to get not only the tire size BUT you have to get the speed and weight rating for your application. Example P205/65r15 94H. P is for Passenger, LT is needed for trucks that's going to be hauling anything heavy. The 94H is the load index & speed rating extremely crucial. It can literally mean the tire can't hold the weight it is carrying/hauling or handle the speed your going to be driving. Therefore I don't buy tires by price, I buy what I need and just pay the price needed and in the end it's cheaper and safer. Thanks Michelin

Outstanding tire

Replaced OEM Good Years on my 2021 Ram 1500 Crew Cab. The Defender LTX MS tires are awesome! Smooth ride and soaKs up bumps like a champ. Great traction I’d dry and wet. When new tHere was a little more tire squirm in turns compared to good years but very minor. The ride qUality improvement makes truck feel like luxury car. Also seeing improvement in mpg. Jumped from average of 26 MPG to 27 to 28 mpg on same route.

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 club cab and still have the original tires on it. I have been rotating them as well as replacing them for winter driving with a more aggressive winter tire. I am truly impressed with the tread wear as it seems I will have many more years to keep these tires for my truck. I have 113,500 miles on my truck with approx. 75,000 on these tires. I am also impressed that there are no signs of weathering or checking in the sidewalls. Great job on the compounds used and or the quality of the rubber.

Extremely Solid Choice

I am extremely happy with the purchase of these tires. I have a 2wd Sierra 1500 crew cab and had Goodyear wranglers prior. These Michelins are nice and tall and have a great sidewall look. The highway tread pattern looks great and had performed better. The tires are quiet on the highway and feel sturdy overall maybe slightly harder than I was used to however the beef inspires confidence when towing our 4,500 lb. camper as there is no wallow and the generally feels more capable. I would definitely purchase again.

My first experience was on my new 1997 mini truck. I finally replaced them at 125k miles. They performed very well in all conditions including snow and ice. Cornering and handling was enhanced by these tires. I made up my mind at that time that all my vehicles would have Michelin tires. All my vehicles including three quarter ton and half ton trucks and 9 passenger vehicle. My new mini SUV also has factory issue michelin.

We were on a cross ...

We were on a cross country trip. The passenger car tires were not holding up to pulling a trailer. With a sense of urgency we purchased new tires. Had never purchased Michelins before as I thought they were over rated and over priced. The tires were the only thing in stock in my size so the purchase was made. Putting the LT tires on the van greatly reduced the side to side sway and increased overall stability and safety. Even with the trailer unhitched there was a marked improvement in handling. The van now has a bit harsher ride due to the LT tires. It is worth the truck like feel for better stability. Being light in the rear I had always had problems in rain and snow. Now my wife is not afraid to drive the van on wet roads and light snow. Rotating on a regular basis I was able to get 80,000 miles out of these tires. And yes they were replaced with the same tire.

Beyond awesome mileage.

Bought these tires almost six years ago to put on my Tundra. Purchased a new 2016 Silverado and had the Defenders removed from the Tundra and put on the Silverado with 1,000 miles already on them. Put the new Wranglers on the trade in Tundra. I drive a lot. Fast forward to 2021 and 179,000 miles on the Defenders and still going strong. Awesome ride and quite. Tread gauge now reads 1/4 inch on all tires. Unbelievable! Considering buying new Defenders but tempted to see how far I can go on this set.
