Disappointed

I have been a Michelin fan for 30 years. Every vehicle I have runs on Michelin rubber. I bought a set of Defender LTX M/S for my 2019 Ridgeline and could not be more disappointed. The road noise from these tires was terrible. They whined like a monster truck. I ended up replacing them with a different set of tires from another company. Another customer at the same tire store had a similar experience with the same tire. I’m hoping this is just a one off bad batch of tires and not a loss of historically great quality.

Jets4474, thanks for taking the time to submit a review. We're sorry your experience with Defender LTX M/S was not a positive one. We hope that you will consider Michelin tires again in the future.

I love this tire

This is the second set of LTX M/S tires we've owned. The first set lasted 105,000 miles and were replaced due to age not tire wear. After 105, 000 miles they still rode as smooth and performed flawlessly. The 2nd set is living up to the same expectations.

I got over 70,000 miles on my M/S truck tires and a lot of that was pulling a 3,000 lb utility trailer. The tire has an excellent ride and provided great traction in heavy rain or off road. I have replaced them with the newer M/S2 and expect them to last just as long.

I have used other brands ...

I have used other brands of tires in the past and they haven't lasted as long as the Michelin's. I had them on my 1994 S-10 4WD Blazer and they lasted seven years for me and they will last probably another year or two for the person that I sold it too this past summer. Michelin tires seem to be the best for sidewall stability and long tread life. I will buy some again soon when I can save up enough money for the LTX M/S^2 LT285/70/R17 for my Expedition.

Bumpy ride, low mpg

This is my second purchase of these tires , the quality has changes or these are defective. The whole car rides like its quivering and is bumpy. I have a phone attached to dash and if I try to do a video driving its a jiggly mess, wasn't with the last tires.Something is seriously wrong , got the tires re- balanced, still a issue. I would like these replaced by the company.

Rides Smooth

These tires are mounted on my daily driver, a 2007 Chevy trailblazer. It is used mostly for touring, and we had a mild winter last year, but if these are anything like my previous set of Michelin's they will get me where I need to go and do it smoothly and quietly. 15000 miles so far without any signs of wear.

Starting Off on the Wrong Foot

I bought 4 tires on 12/11/18 for my Toyota Tacoma. These replaced a set of LTX MS 2 tires that had about 72k miles on them. I have a lot of history with Michelin tires between our two vehicles and I always had great success with them. But this set has really disappointed me so far. I had the tires mounted and balanced and on the way home I experienced a noticeable shudder. I took the truck right back to the dealership and they balanced all 4 tires again but to no avail. Another set of 4 tires were ordered and installed and I still had the problem. The dealer ended up measuring the runout (roundness) of every tire and found two tires from the first set and one from the second set that did not roll true. So, from the eight tires, he found 4 that rolled true and put them on the truck. That took care of the problem. How fortunate I was to have a dealer who was patient and truly interested in giving me a good product. I had to go back to the dealer 4 times to get it right and the dealer had to eat the labor cost for the last 3 trips. I sure hope this is not a sign of how well these tires will perform over the long haul. Really disappointed in Michelin quality control on this one.

These tires have done ...

These tires have done well in summer as well as winter driving (both snow and ice). The ride is plush, and that's both the good and bad news. Comfortable (if a little mushy) heading straight down the road, but they don't inspire confidence in turns. Too much 'give' in the sidewalls for my taste.

Quiet and Great ride 1

Replaced stock tires on 2008 Z71 with LTX-m/s and they are so quiet and ride so good it is like a new truck. Still checking gas mileage as it may have dropped a little. Also put a set of michelin tires on wifes 2010 Maxima and the ride is like a new car.

I do mechanical design ...

I do mechanical design work and I am an avid mountainbiker; as a result, I know the importance of product quality and functionality; espesially where the "rubber meets the road". Two things matter on my SUV: tires and battery. I have tried many different tires and nothing compares to these. Long tread life, dependable hold, and precise control. Put these on and you are set for years to come.
