Jeep

Our Michelin LTX M/S are about 3 years old and are showing very little wear. They are great in wet and snowy conditions. I have them on a 1995 Jeep and they are smooth and quiet. When ever the weather is bad we can always rely on the Jeep with the Michelin tires.

Such an improvement in ride and noise level

I purchased a set of Michelin Defender LTX for my wife's Lincoln today... Wow, What a difference from the OEM Pirelli's that came on it new.. We commented many times about how disappointed we were with all the road noise this Lincoln had.. Little did we know it was the Pirelli's. After two sets of them I wanted to try something else and low and behold, the New Michelin's did the trick. The road noise from the car is sooo much quieter now. I wont be putting Pirelli's back on this car again!

I came to know about ...

I came to know about Michelin LTX's while I was the shop forman at a large dealership dealing with alot of complaints about front tires whitling off on the edges. After checking front ends for alignments issues still had problems with competors tires replaced them with Michelin LTX and problem went away. I belive it is due to the excelent sidewall constrution of the tire preventing tire rollover, this also is why Michelin is the only tire I will put on my vehicles because the better the sidewall constrution, the better the ride .

Awful

We have bought Michelin tires for our vehicles for years because we thought they were the best. Not these. And they were not cheap. I have hated these tires since they were put on my vehicle. I feel like I have a ride like Fred Flintstone. Yaba daba do!

Loud tires

I replaced these same tires on my 2012 Toyota Highlander; this time, they are so loud that you cannot hear the radio. What is the difference from when I bought these tires 3 1/2 years ago? I figured it was just me but now my wife and son-in-law have driven the car and everyone has the same complaint It was too loud. You notice it at about 35 MPH and up. I have these same tires on my 2015 Tacoma Truck and don't have this noise at all. Is there a chance these are mounted wrong?

This is the second set for my truck.

These are a great set of tires. Long lasting as long as you rotate every 5,000 miles. If you don't your front tires can become cupped and you will feel some front end vibration. Rotate from to back every 5,000 miles and you can get 70,000+ miles easy.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

Thanks for the honest feedback. Sounds like you’ve been taking great care of your tires, so we totally get your frustration. The Defender LTX M/S is designed for long-lasting traction, but performance can vary depending on wear, road conditions, and vehicle setup. We’d recommend having a local dealer take a look to see what’s going on. And if you want to chat with us directly, feel free to call 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) —we’re happy to help!

Tires have excellent response and feel, with comfort.

I was already convinced to buy these tires. This set is better, and handles better than previous set of LTX I had a few years ago, and they performed extremely well. On previous set of tires, on a Yukon, my wife had a 'generator' trailer come off hitch ahead of her, on 6 lane interstate. Between the Michelin tires, Stabilitrak on Yukon and anti-lock brakes, she was able to maneuver from one side of highway to other, multiple times, coming down from 60mph, to avoid the erratic trailer.

Worth the extra cost

Purchased Defender LTX M/S for my 2016 Highlander in September, 2019. After 30,000 miles, I highly recommend. Great in snow, wet, dry conditions. Very secure on the road. Quiet! Low rolling friction which has increased gas mileage by 1 to 1 1/2 mpg. I expect to get 70K + tread wear.

We have the Michelin LTX ...

We have the Michelin LTX 245/70-16 on a Nissan 4x4 Pathfinder that replaced the stock 255/65-16. Had the tires on the vehicle now for years and 40,000 miles. The tread looks like it will last another 40,000 miles and wears very even. The sidewalls are extremely rigid and must be puncture resistant. We live in a area with lots of potholes and new construction, so nails and debris is common on the road. My wife gets nail punctures very often and I don't so I have to think the deeper thread blocks and inner lining of the Michelins must have something to do with it. Where we live when it snows they don't clear the roads, so I only drive the Pathfinder then because the tires have really good grip on show and icy roads. They are way better than the OE tires, I am very impressed. If there is any negative complain I would say they do ride harder than the OE tires, they are very quiet but you do feel the road surface more.
