Rough Road Capable

I drive down a 10 mile rough gravel road twice a week. The road is known to eat up tires. The Michelin LTX MS tires hold up exceptionally. I drive highway miles as well as this road. I put on about 16,000 miles a year. The gravel road has a reputation for eating up tires. The Michelins have endured without any problem. I am very pleased with this product.

Unbelieveable

Purchased a 5 year old sport trac with 69000 miles. It had new Michelin LTX M/S tires. At 175000 miles and 106000 miles on the tires, I am wondering if they are ever going to wear out? Light hauling, highway miles,some trailering. Great all season tire .Best I have ever owned. Thank You Michelin Man

Best Highway tire I have found

I bought these tires because someone told me they had a good ride. I found out later that they pull good in the light mud, light snow. I have had them on my truck now for over 50,000 miles and still have about 20,000 miles left. I am currently looking at a set for my Jeep. I wish all tires lasted as long as these.

MICHELIN LTX m/s

I have been driving on Michelins for years now because they handle well, wear well, and I feel safe driving them. I have had them on SUV's as well as small trucks. The last vehicle that I put them on was a Tacoma 4x4. I highly suggest giving them a try. I have only one problem during all the years that I have used them Michelin took the tire back and replaced it.

Best all around tires ever!!!

I bought the LTX M/S tire about a year ago after sliding around in the snow on my last tires. The m/s tire handle so well I don't have to worry about hydroplaning in the rain, not having traction in the snow, or even too much about sliding on the ICE!!! My husband loves them because they make our truck go in the mountains where you would think only a jeep could go. The traction in mud is phenominal. I finally found a tire I feel safe driving on too. They also make my truck look so much better than the last ones I had. Me and my husband will never buy another tire but Michelin's. We even argued with the salesman when we bought our brand new truck because it didn't come with michelin's!!! We already have an appointment to get them switched.

Dissatisfied

I purchased these units a few months ago and I am not pleased with the handling characteristic's. On straight roads, Hwy's, there good. In mountain roads, Hwy's, they seem to roll. (Soft side wall?) I have purchased many Michelin's over the years and have them on my other vehicles. However, I am very disappointed and not convenient for used on fool weather roads. My intention is to replace them with another manufacture.

What an improvement

I purchased the Defenders to replace a set of Wrangler tires that still had a lot of tread left. Before purchasing the new tires the wheels would spin if there was any moisture on the road. The improvement has been amazing. This is for a 2009 Ford Ranger that is used in the city (not off road) as a second vehicle to often move lumber and/or top soil and yard waste.

Not at all satisfied

Purchase these tire based on past experience with Michelin. Returned the next day with a vibration thought it was bad balancing, the second balancing did nothing complained with no results. A few weeks later went to my dealer and had the tires balanced again but to no avail. Returned to the supplier that I staled them and was told the they had found a problem with some on these tires. Asked for resolution and was told it was complicated. Finally they will replace these defective tires but I will have to pay for the wear on them. This is not rite as I have been complains since day one. No happy about this at all.

Disappointed

When I originally purchased my truck it had the LTX MS. They lasted a total of two years and about 35000k when they were so weather cracked I was afraid of them blowing. As the truck was 2 years old had them replaced under warranty. Three years later and 45000k, again they were weather cracked. As they no longer make the straight LTX , I had to have them replaced with the defender LTX MS. They pick up stones like no ones business. If it wasn't for the mud flaps I would be repainting the bottom half of the truck. A terrible amount of road noise to boot. They do perform almost as well in winter , but not as well as the original LTX. These tires have been on a year, and if I have to replace them again in a year or two, I may be navigating out of the Michelin line..
