i bought 2 245/65 17 Defender M/S tires to replace the ones i had on my pickup. I had at least 70,000 miles on the old ones. With the new Defenders my ride has been excellent and I expect the wear will be the same as the old ones. Alignment has been completed regularly and rotated ever 5000 miles.

I replaced the OEM tires on my suburban with a set of Michelin LTX. The LTX tires were more expensive than a set of OEM tires, but the ride quality and lack of road noise made a huge difference in the vehicle. This set of Tires accumulated about 85,000 trouble free, quiet miles before being replaced. I did not notice a significant improvement in traction or an increase in mileage using these all season tires in either snow, rain or mud conditions. Tire wear was excellent and uniform over the life of the tire. If you are looking for a good all season long lasting tire that is quiet and reliable, look at a set of the Michelin LTX.

I always purchase Michelin tires because of their extensive life and mileage performance. My last set of tires on a Ford Explorer lasted for over ten years and 100,000 miles. My current set of Michelin tires of all weather tires are over five years old and have over 60,000 miles.

After 80,000 miles on the original factory LTX M/S there was no doubt about what my replacement tires would be! The next generation of the LTX M/S have not disappointed. In fact, they continue to exceed my expectations in all driving conditons. From rain to snow and the little off-roading I do, these tires handle everything! What I am most impressed with is the braking distance. I feel very safe and secure in my vehicle with these tires.

I purchased a new set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires to replace my worn tires on my Honda CR-V. I did about two months of research and found the Defenders to be the best value for what I needed in snow and highway conditions. I can not express how disappointed I am with the handling and ride comfort of these tires. The slightest gust of wind nearly knocks me off of the road as well as extreme vibrations at 60 - 70 mph. Cornering and fast manuvering is nearly impossible and extremly dangerous at highway speeds. I have had these tires rebalanced twice as well as having my CR-V looked over by the Honda dealership to see if it was a problem with my car. I was told by the dealership that it was the new Defenders I had installed and that there are no issues with my vehicle. This was my first and will be my last Michelin purchase.

I have 38,000 miles on this set and it’s time to replace them. This set is on a GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4x4. I drive 90% city and 10% dirt roads and no towing. I was pleased with the quiet comfortable ride. However, I was very unsatisfied with how unevenly they wore down and the short lifespan.

I have loaded over twice the recommended capasity in my 2500 ram on numerious occassions. When I changed out the first factory set of Michelin's, they had over 85,000 miles with out a problem. My second set suffered the same treatment and were changed out when the odometer hit 180,000, without a dought these are best set of tires I've ever owned,

Prior to installing these tires, my vehicle hydroplaned several times, even at fairly low speeds, when the road was only moderately wet. My previous tires were only a year old, but I replaced them with these Michelins, due to the poor traction. That was 2 years ago and I haven't hydroplaned since, no matter what the weather conditions or driving speed. Additionally, these Michelins have been left on year-round during that time. They perform great in mud, rain and snow, both on the highway, and off-road. They've also been used extensively in hot, dry weather at highway speeds. I've driven across the country on them twice, and they still don't show any excessive wear. These are good safe tires, and the price was more than fair, considering the safety and function they've provided.

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.

I have owned 3 sets of these tires on a Dodge Dakota and a 2003 Ford Explorer Sporttrac ... when the factory tires are about half done, I just get a new set of the Michelins ... they are great in the wet (which is my main concern with these vehicles) also very good in the snow - I get about 75,000 miles of weat out of them ... when my 2009 Sporttrac needs new shoes (in the Spring) ... I will be looking for a set of Michelins
