One more example of a great tire

Vacation this year was to Florida and as we were driving through Georgia we encountered a series of very heavy rain storms. the rain was heavy enough to slow traffic to 30 miles and below on I-75. when we got to our destination for that night the second vehicle that we were traveling with was remarking about all the hydroplaning that they had experienced. we were surprised because we had not experienced any even though there were times there was water on the highway. I attribute this to my Michelin tires and I am glad that they always keep me and my family safe.

Quiet and Great ride 1

Replaced stock tires on 2008 Z71 with LTX-m/s and they are so quiet and ride so good it is like a new truck. Still checking gas mileage as it may have dropped a little. Also put a set of michelin tires on wifes 2010 Maxima and the ride is like a new car.

Splits in sidewall

For the second time one of my tires has split on the sidewall. The last time Michelin said my husband must have run over something. Now the second tire has also split on the sidewall. Don't know how these got all of these good reviews. We will never buy another Michelin since they seem to be junk!

Best Tire for SUVs and Light Trucks

I had a set of the Michelin Defender M/S tires on my 2004 Toyota Sequoia that I loved. I bought them on June 15, 2017. They ride very smoothly for an LT tire. Because they roll forever, as you approach a stop, you have to get your foot off the gas much earlier. I don't know how many miles I put on them but it was a lot! I like these tires so much that I bought new sets for my SUV and also my pickup.

I am running a set of LTX ...

I am running a set of LTX M/S 2 now on my 2003 Suburban after having achieved 85,000 miles with a set of LTX M/S tires that were one size larger than the tires that came as orignal equipment. This was to help with trailering a 20 ft travel trailer. Ride was harder with the large size LTX M/S. Now with LTS M/S2 of teh same large size ride is smoother than before. I expect to get well over 100,000 miles with these tires. I will not buy any other auto or light truck tire besides Michelin.

most milage for the buck, great tire

I live in the in an area that has chip seal roads. these are the most unforgiving roads on tires. I have 2 4x4 autos. the least milage I have recevied was 21000 miles on a set of tires, not Michelin. next set when needed on my auto will be the Michelin as I know the result from using Michelin. also installed Michelin on my fathers suberu, still on after many miles and in good shape. thank you-

Best tire I've used yet

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

Great all around tire.

I’ve had these tires for 10,000 miles now. I commute daily 40 miles and use my truck for construction as my side business. I’ve had well over 14k with trailer and equipment for on these tires for well over 2000 of those miles and these tires have shown little to no wear. Obviously, they don’t have the aggressive tread of other tires but I have gotten around muddy and clay job sites fine. I always use my truck around our farm daily and haven’t gotten stuck in my pastures. After running over 20 different brands and treads of tires these are the best of all worlds for highway, work, and farm chores. If you’re feeding cows daily in heavy mud I would get a mud terrain tire as my other truck that never hits the highway has, but these are good on your primary rig. Highway driving us superior with the Michelins. Minor, ever so slight noise at higher speeds, but infinitely quieter than any AT I have ever ran. I would go rock crawling with these tires, but great for daily use. I bought 10 ply.
