Bought these tires in 2008 for my 2000 4runner Limited. Was told that I could easily get over 60,000 miles. Now in 2012, I have to buy new tires, after 37,400 miles. Proper maintenance was done to the tires by the warehouse where they were purchased. Warehouse where I purchased the tires is, again, telling me that the new Michelin LTX M/S2 is very much improved. I do not know if I can trust Michelin or the warehouse where I bought them.

These are my first Michelins and I'm glad that I decided to make the investment. I live in New England and we received the obligatory late spring snow storm so I had the opportunity to test these tired in slippery conditions and they performed beautifully. I suddenly felt glued to the road regardless of the driving conditions. I also noticed an immediate difference in the quiet comfortable ride I had been missing from my vehicle all along. I would definitely recommend spending a little extra for these tires. They have changed my opinion on how much tires can make a difference in your ride.

Bought a set of Defender LTX M/S tires about 6 months ago. When I first drove with them I noticed that they were very noisy. Had them rotated and balanced at 6000 miles. I discussed the noise problem with the dealer and he had a technician drive my vehicle after the tires were rotated. The technician said the tires sounded quiet to him. I had him ride with me and he said he could hear the tire noise but considered them to be quiet, "quieter than most". I have never had tires this noisy. I would not recommend these tires if you want a quiet ride.

With almost 150,000 miles on my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe, I just recently installed my third set of Michelins. Even though we also own a 2012 Ford Explorer, we always drive the older Tahoe on trips because the Explorer came with another brand of tires that assure we hear and feel every crack in the highway. My Michelins are smooth and quiet, and they make my wife and I feel safer when driving in rain. At age 67, I have tried many different brands of tires over the years and have learned the hard way that when it comes to buying tires, it is not only wise to buy the best, but the extra long tread life makes it the best economic decision as well. Love my Michelins!!!

Have my Defenders now for just about 3000 miles on a 4Runner. Not the off-road tire, no - but for 99% of my travels, these tires are great. Smooth ride and they feel sure planted. No snow yet .... Rain driving, I didn't feel any risk or anything. They seem to react better when it was wet out. Very Happy with my purchase.

I have had these tires for about 2 years. I have driven from Illinois to California 2 times. They are quiet and comfortable. The tread looks nearly new after all those miles. I rotate and keep proper air pressure and the tire does the rest! Thank you for making my SUV a pleasure to drive.

These are the best tires we have ever purchased. We paid a little more for them but it was well worth it. We installed these tires on our GMC Yukon Denali when we had 20k miles on it and now at 115k miles its time to replace them. Very comfortable and quiet ride. Will definitely be purchasing these tires again.

These are the smoothest riding tires I have had on my 4x4 pickup since I purchased it in 2002. One of the things that amazed me the most was that when they were mounted and balanced, only one of the four tires needed a small weight to balance. The rest required no weights at all!!! Still no weights added at the subsequent rotations and rebalances!! Quality! Quality! Quality! My first set of Michelin's and certainly not my last!!!!!

We have the LTX/MS2 on our Excursion. We have had the tires for two years now. The ride they provide is smooth and quiet. The handling on wet and dry surfaces is excellent. We launch a 24' boat occasionally and the traction on the boat ramps is great. We would definately recommend these tires for any truck.

I expect high performance out of my Michelin Tires, and that is what they deliver. In tight curves they hold the road, in rainey conditions they hold the road, when breaking they hold the road, I would only trust Michelin with my family on board. They deliver year after year, and seem to hardly ever wear out. Each new set of Michelin's that I buy, seems to last longer than the last ones. In any of my vehicles, Michelin is the only brand that I would trust.
