After using another brand tire for 'wet weather' use I tried the LTX M/S tire and found the results fantastic. Much better traction on wet pavement, grass and the ride was improved. The tire performed much better and looks great! I plan to continue using this tire on my truck and tell everyone about the good traction, wear, looks and ride.

I experienced the worse nightmare possible, hundreds of miles from home, stranded on the side of the road, downpouring rain, AAA on the way..Michelin dealer where I had originally purchased these tires called the customer service center for Michelin and..after adjustments were made, had all 4 brand new tires mounted..I am in love with that Michelin man..lol Great way to keep a extremely happy customer~!! Happy New Year really takes on a wonderful meaning this year..Thanks again little guy!~!!

I was a Michelin Man for life until I got 50,000 miles out of my 70,000 mile LTX M/S tires. I paid the higher price to get the mileage that Michelin is known for so I'm really disappointed. My friends are saying the same- they just don't last like they used to. I highway drive back and forth to work and do the occasional hunting trips in my Nissan Titan LE so there is no reason on my part for the excessive tire wear. Sure, to make it better they will give me the 20% for the wear but that does not cover (1) the extra I paid to begin with and (2) all of the extra cost of going thru the mounting process 20,000 miles earlier than expected.

Bought these for my wife's 02 explorer sport. Wanted a tire to handle slick wet roads and slight off-road conditions. Tires have preformed beyond expectation. I even took them through truck size mud holes to see what they could handle. Tires held grip very well and tread stayed clear of debri. Same for snowy roads, good all around performer. I feel better knowing that my wife is riding around on tires I can depend on. They are amazing and suprized me with their rough and tough ability even though they look mild mannered.

I drive a Ford F250 diesel to Mexico and back each year pulling a 10,000 lb trailer so tires are important. I am into my third set of Defenders which realistically last about 75,000 km before tread wear begins to be an issue for long distance travel. Of the 15,000 km per year I drive the truck, half of it is pulling a trailer. I choose these tires not only because Ford recommends them but also because they give me very good fuel economy even pulling a trailer (17 L/km pulling and 8 L/km not pulling).

Got rid of stock tires at 1800 miles first rain slid across road. Not driving family in a unsafe truck. Got the Defender LTX M/S 285 45 22. Night and day no questions asked. Smoother ride and a lot less noise. The tires r well worth the $$$. Last set LTX MS got 70,000 miles. Just go buy them

These tires are used on an AWD Vehicle year round. There is essentially no road noise from the tires and they just wear and wear and wear with no unusual problems having been encountered. Most trouble free tires I've owned. So good that I use Michelin Tires on three (3) vehicles. Two SUV's and one (1) full Size Passenger Car. The Michelin tires were not given to the writer of this review and the writer was not compensated in any way for writing this review.

I put these tires on my truck on July 2007 when it had 45,892 miles. Today, my truck has 184,587 miles on it and I am still going strong (already 138,695 miles). This is the second set of tires I have owned on two different trucks. First truck had 127,000 miles on the tires when I sold the truck to get this truck. I am hoping to get at least 150,000 before I turn them in for new ones. Has anyone ever gone longer than 150,000 miles on a set of these tires? If so, how long?

I have had these tires on my Ford Expedition EL for almost a month. I have logged around 2000 miles, first impressions are very good. The control they provide is a big step up from the old BF Goodrich tires. I would not drive my Expedition in the snow due to poor stopping traction in the past. Now I do so with confidence. These tires are solid, in rain, snow and on dry pavement. This tire is quiet and rides great at highway speeds. If you are wondering if a tire can make a difference try these shoes on your vehicle you will be amazed. I will update this review as I log the miles.

Bought new Michelin 18” Defender LTX M/S2 tires for a Ford F250 to replace Michelins that had come with the truck. My old tires were smooth as silk and I actually got more miles from them than the warranty. However, the new tires vibrated badly, so I had them rebalanced twice, with no improvement. Michelin replaced the tires under warranty, but the new tires also vibrate badly. I took them to another shop that had a road force balancer and paid out of my own pocket to have them rebalanced again. There was some improvement, but there’s still a significant amount of vibration. I'm very disappointed in these tires.
