This is a truck tire, not a luxury tire

I purchased these for a 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, road noise was persistent over 40 mph, the tires felt relatively unstable at highway speeds, and tracking wasn't linear. These are great truck tires, but I found them unsuitable for a luxury SUV. I returned the Defender LTX M&S 2 tires for a set of CrossClimate2 and am more than pleased.

LTX MS tires are the best ...

LTX MS tires are the best tire that could possibly be used on a SUV or a pickup truck!! I have a 2001 Chevy 4X4 using them,and I also ran a set of them on a Ford explorer for over 100,000 miles! Beat that!! I probably won't win this prize,because of the lack of fancy, flashy wording,But I know what will be my next choice in Tires! LTX MS Michelins!

I'd most likely buy this tire next time

I purchased this tire for road/highway use and bought based on tread design and depth. I was looking for traction on wet paved roads (especially when starting and turning uphill while starting) in Central Texas for my light rear ended, 98, Dodge Dakota P/U 4x4 with 5.2L. I keep 200 pounds of sand in the truck bed to aid in traction. This tire did not meet my desires. However, I have had 3 different brands over the 7 years I have owned the P/U and this tire has performed the best.

Great tire

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.

The tires have worn well. I have 49,000 miles on them and have about 10,000 miles left. The only thing I have noted is some chunking of tread on gravel roads. I have pieces of tread missing from several of the tires. I am usually towing my trailer/Jeep on gravel roads. It appears the rear tires cannot handle the weight on gravel without having chunks of tread come off.

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.

Good Tires Will buy again

I had Michelin LTX M/S for 80,000 miles on my 1999 Durango. Awesome, best tire I ever owned. Suv died before tires. Tires were still good. I was so pleased, I put brand new ones on my 2001 Tahoe with 200,000 miles. I only have 30,000 miles on new tires, but feel like brand new. I will buy again. A little more expensive up front, but over life of tire, I don't think you can buy any better tire(for a big SUV) period.

Vibration? Get these Road Force balanced, TRUST ME

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

I owned a set of Michelins on a Volvo I once owned. Now that I have a daughter and I am concerned about her safety more than my own and she needed good tires I bought her the best that I once knew of: Michelin. If I can afford them for my wife, (she's the primary driver in our home), her next set of tires will be Michelins also.

I am running a set of LTX ...

I am running a set of LTX M/S 2 now on my 2003 Suburban after having achieved 85,000 miles with a set of LTX M/S tires that were one size larger than the tires that came as orignal equipment. This was to help with trailering a 20 ft travel trailer. Ride was harder with the large size LTX M/S. Now with LTS M/S2 of teh same large size ride is smoother than before. I expect to get well over 100,000 miles with these tires. I will not buy any other auto or light truck tire besides Michelin.
