Bought these for my wife's explorer sport '02. wanted something to be able to handle wet roads as well as slight off-road conditions. Very pleased at the ride quality, low road noise and wet, lick, road handleing. Took it off-road and was very impressed. Massive mud puddle with no wheel spin at all. I feel very safe with my wife behind the wheel now.

I just drove a couple thousand miles on my new Michelin Defenders. Some of the ride was on I-40, perhaps the worst interstate in the system. But the tires smoothed the ride as much as could be expected. I wish all the money from hiway taxes went into roads for cars instead of bike lanes and squirrel sanctuaries.

I have had Michelin LTX M/S tires on my Yukon since 2003, I have 200,000 miles on my vehicle and are on my third set of Michelin's. They are the best tire I have ever had and will buy nothing but them. I do a lot of highway driving and the ride, handling, and stability in the rain are perfect. I strongly recommend these tires to anyone who owns an SUV is looking fro a great tire. You will not be disappointed with the Michelins. I get 70,000 miles from these tires and never ever have any problems.

I purchased these tires for a Escape Hybrid in November. These tires replaced the Michelin Lattitude Tour series (which is no longer offered in this size) based on Michelin's recommendations. These tires are essentially a light truck tire with extra load capacity, so the ride quality is notably harsh and there is more tread noise at low speeds. The total rolling resistance is considerably higher, lowering the Average Fuel Economy on the Escape by over 8 MPG. This tire is a good choice for light trucks and larger heavier SUV's, but a poor choice for smaller SUV's or hybrids.

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction Just put a set on my wife's Grand Cherokee Ltd. . So far, excellent handling on any road type, quiet and secure feeling while driving at any speed. Have M/S's on my Commander and love them too. Best tire for endurance, range and quality for the price.

Have bought Michelin tires for every car I owned. I bought these tires last week and drove on a short highway trip 3 days later. Horrible vibrations and they ride like a mack truck on constant potholes. The ride beat me to death and could not wait to get out of the vehicle. Loved my vehicle until I put these tires on the auto and regret this purchase already.

I bought these tires for my 2004 Chevy Colorado. A few years ago we had a big snow storm. Thirty Three inches. I'm not saying I was on the road driving in that amount of snow, but when the town's snow plow came by and knot the show down to about one foot I was on the road. On First Aid Squad need to be on the road. Worth the money.

I have been very happy with these tires. The road noise is very minimal compared to my last tires. I don't do much off-roading, but on gravel and dirt roads the tires work great. Overall I've been really pleased with these tires. I would recommend these tires to anyone.

I now am on my second set of Michelins on my Honda Ridgeline truck. I replaced the first set after 90,000 miles and still had some tread left. I know I could have gone to 100,000 miles with them if I had to. I use my truck for business with lots of highway miles and I also use it for hunting purposes. The tires are equally exceptional on the highway and in the woods. I will buy them again.

I was already convinced to buy these tires. This set is better, and handles better than previous set of LTX I had a few years ago, and they performed extremely well. On previous set of tires, on a Yukon, my wife had a 'generator' trailer come off hitch ahead of her, on 6 lane interstate. Between the Michelin tires, Stabilitrak on Yukon and anti-lock brakes, she was able to maneuver from one side of highway to other, multiple times, coming down from 60mph, to avoid the erratic trailer.
