You get what you pay for, and the Michelin Defender LTX M&S are by no means the cheapest tire out there. I have tried many other brands of tires, but always come back to this one. If you looking for smooth, quiet ride, good traction & long wear look no further. Over 10K miles driven so far, I fully expect to get nearly 50K out of every set and I never let the tread levels wear down completely on my tires. I drive a mix of highway miles, windy mountain roads, rocky/dirt/gravel roads, rain and snow and these tires hold up better than all the rest.

OK, I had michelins on my honda accord years ago and remembered how good they were and how long they lasted (had 110K miles on them when I sold it). So when my 2003 Escape needed replacements for the tires that came on it at 60K miles, I went with the Michelins. Now six years and over 170K miles later I am ready for a new set (or maybe a new vehicle, since the odometer is near 240K). I am very pleased with Michelins. They last forever! The guy at the tire store said I could probably get 5-10K more out of them since I actually still have good tread but am seeing some dry rot - they are getting old. Great tires Michelin!

I have driven on a lot of tires and none compare to these on my truck. Rated at 70,000 miles and I got more than that out of first set and am working on 50,000 on the second and last check only half worn. They not only wear well they give me a smooth quiet ride on the highway. I didn't buy my Honda Ridgeline for off reading so these are perfect for my needs. Thanks Michelin for building such a great tire. I will definitely be using these again on my truck!

Installed on my new 2012 Chevy Conversion Van. I put 20,000 Miles on since last Aug 22nd. Did a long trip tp CA. DROVE 10,000 Miles. Tire looks great on my van they really fill the wheel well. The ride was great and they still look like new. Very satisfied with this tire and will buy them again.

97,000 km on these tires still have wear enough if summer was coming, extremely quiet on highway, I tow a 10,000 lb fifth wheel all summer, I'm never concerned about my tires. 80lbs of air when I'm towing and releave the tire pressure when not towing for a smoother ride when empty to 50 lbs. Still enough for a short haul.

Have had these Michelins for about 2 years and they have performed very, very well. They ride smooth and quiet. They are wearing very well and still have a lot of tread on them. The wet weather grip is excellent, a big plus for me. A lot of tires may grip well in dry weather. The tire that grips well in wet conditions is the one I need, and the Michelins come through like the true winner they are when the conditions are nasty outside. The handling is very good too. I would definitely buy another set of these. I recommended them to my son and he put a set on his vehicle. He is very pleased with them as well. A great all around tire.

Had 4 of these put on my truck in 2003 and all still have good tread and have had ZERO issues. Changing these out for 4 new Michelins X LT AS just because of age. Decided to go with the other model due to the reviews here and I hope it will not be a mistake.

I have run these tires on Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks for over 15 years, always try to replace my factory tires with them, haven't found another tire manufacturer who can provide as good a tire and the mileage life as the LTX M/S. Being in outside sales I drive close to 50K miles a year with a mix of city and highway. I typically get 80K miles on a set with even wear down to the end with regular balance & rotation every 5K miles, lucky to get 50K miles on any others.

Have these tires due to 70K mile warranty. At 20K miles, noticed extreme wear on the front. Realized had not completed rotation. Began rotating tires, but to no avail. Tread worn completely across entire tire on 2 of them. 2 remaining tires also low on tread. Likely 10K left on those. Have bought at least 5 other sets of Michelin’s (LTX MS & LTX MS2). All lasted at least as long as the warranty. Not these. Tire dealer said nothing can be done for warranty. Pretty disappointing. These tires are not cheap.

These tires are on a 4x4 pickup truck. I haul a large John Deere mower on a trailer 120 miles each way three times a month. These tires are just great in all types of weather. I do rotate them about every 6 to 8 thousand miles. I will continue to buy Michelin tires on all of my vehicles!!
