I bought 3 sets of the previous generation version of these tires and was so happy. I couldn't wait to put the updated version on my Suburban. And then I did. Roughest and loudest tires I have ever owned-and I have had aggressive all-terrain tires on this same SUV. When I get close to 70 mph or faster, these tires are unbelievably loud. For the most expensive (or certainly one of) all-season tires you can buy, this is unacceptable. Thought I would just continue buying the best Michelin tires available every time I needed tires. I think that just changed.

I have purchase nothing but Michelin's for my 2001 mdx and 2005 tacoma. Always used the "lattitude tour" version and loved them. Probably went through a total of 5 or 6 sets. Now discontinued I went with the defender LTX on my tacoma. They are very noisy. I have to turn up my radeo at 35 MPH. yes, they handle great, but I can't stand the noise. Now my mom needs a set of tires for her 2013 avalanche and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

I just put a set of 4 Defender LTX M/S tires on my restored 2004 Land Rover Discovery and noticed immediately a smoother, quieter ride. The tires corner and ride extremely well. I just drove through a major rain storm with no problems at all. The tires are still new (driven about 500 miles) and let's see how they hold up over time. So far -- great!

I have these tires on my truck, 2009 F-150, and when it came time to get tires for my wife's SUV, 2007 Trailblazer SS, these were top on my list. Since installing them on the vehicle I am more pleased with them than I am on my truck. They are a lot quieter than the tires they were replacing, and the ride is much improved as well. I have been very happy with the quality and value of Michelin products.

I am rating the LTX M/S2 tires that I replaced today (11/17/2016) with Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. I logged a total of 70,752 miles on those LTX M/S2 tires and received service from them for 5 years with no dry rot, no premature aging or premature wear. I could have logged another 3,000 miles on the ones I replaced today but decided to go ahead and install new ones for the winter. I have bought only Michelin tires (after negative experiences with other brands) since 1996. In fact, when I have purchased a new vehicle that wasn't equipped with Michelins, I would immediately replace them with Michelins.

I purchased my LT2s in February 2010. I now 62,000 miles on them. It won't be long before I'll be ready for new tires. I've had such a good experience with the LT2s that intend to buy Defender LTX M/S to replace them. I put Michelin tires on another car I owned and have recommended Michelin to others and all have been very satisfied with their purchase.

I have had the Defender on my 2013 Ford Explorer for a few days. I almost didn't buy them because of reviews saying that they are noisy and have poor ride quality. I am glad that I didn't believe those reviews. These tires are as quiet as my old Latitudes and give me a good ride, plus I get the 70,000 mile warranty instead of 55,000 miles. Having the tires for only a few days, I haven't tried the in snow yet, but they have a good tread design to give good traction. I am very pleased with my decision to buy the Defender.

I had previously mentioned how rough and loud these set of tires are. After going back to the tire store, the mechanic suggested I get my U-joint fixed. The took care of the rough ride and the road noise. These are now the Michelin tires that I have come to expect. I appreciate Michelin customer service responding to me very quickly.

Great tires, second set of same tire. Got 64,000 miles out of the old set. Superior nde and traction. Will buy again.

I have driven on Michelins since the early 1970's and would not consider any other brand. The winter tires are outstanding.
