I was looking for a smooth riding quiet tire for my SUV. I got that and more. comfort was a big deal and so was road noise. I drive on open road a lot and long trips. I tow a boat with my SUV. the LTX M/S looks great with it's raised white letters. handles great wet and dry roads. braking is great. I was most surprised by it's traction in snow. living in the north east thinking I would need a more aggressive tire to handle the snow. not the case. I made the rite choice. the only thing that I would say that was bad about this tire. was the little cracks around the bead of the tire as it aged . dry rot . LTX M/S A+

I am 61 years old and I have only used Michelin tires for all of my vehicles. These tires last and last and continue to provide a smooth ride through out the life of the tire. Last winter we had a tremendous snow storm and even thought my tires had 70,000 miles on them, they performed like the were new on my 4 wheel drive. This spring I replaced the set with another MTS set and expect no difference in the ride nor mileage for years to come. Thanks Michelin for making such great tires!

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.

I’ve had these tires for 10,000 miles now. I commute daily 40 miles and use my truck for construction as my side business. I’ve had well over 14k with trailer and equipment for on these tires for well over 2000 of those miles and these tires have shown little to no wear. Obviously, they don’t have the aggressive tread of other tires but I have gotten around muddy and clay job sites fine. I always use my truck around our farm daily and haven’t gotten stuck in my pastures. After running over 20 different brands and treads of tires these are the best of all worlds for highway, work, and farm chores. If you’re feeding cows daily in heavy mud I would get a mud terrain tire as my other truck that never hits the highway has, but these are good on your primary rig. Highway driving us superior with the Michelins. Minor, ever so slight noise at higher speeds, but infinitely quieter than any AT I have ever ran. I would go rock crawling with these tires, but great for daily use. I bought 10 ply.

I am a big Michelin tire fan I think they are great tires until I bought these tires they were great for the first 3,000 miles but then it started the ROAD NOISE ! it drives me crazy. I bought them for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland it was the worst thing that I could have done. They hold the road great in all types of weather but the noise drives me crazy.

These tires do it all on my SUV. The wear is great! They're great on and off road. I don't drive in deep mud but I drive a lot of fire roads in the mountains that have some muddy and snowy areas and the tires do great. They're also tough tires and hadle the rocky mountain roads with no problems.

You get what you pay for, and the Michelin Defender LTX M&S are by no means the cheapest tire out there. I have tried many other brands of tires, but always come back to this one. If you looking for smooth, quiet ride, good traction & long wear look no further. Over 10K miles driven so far, I fully expect to get nearly 50K out of every set and I never let the tread levels wear down completely on my tires. I drive a mix of highway miles, windy mountain roads, rocky/dirt/gravel roads, rain and snow and these tires hold up better than all the rest.

I have had two sets of these tires and they are great. My first set came on my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. I traded it in still with the original tires on it at 91,000 miles in 2010. The same tires came on my 2010 Ridgeline. I just replaced those original tires after 101,000 miles. I bet you can guess what I replaced them with. Well worth a couple extra bucks for an extra 40,000 miles or so from competitor tires. A great product!!!

The LTX M/S tires are standard equipment on my 2005 GMC Envoy Denali 2WD. I am preparing to get my third set of tires for this vehicle, yet I only have 76k miles on the vehicle, which means I only get 34k miles out of these tires per set. My complaint is the tires seem soft, and I do not get the expected mileage out of these tires. I am trying to get a set of Michelin LTX AT2's but they are on a long back order. I have the LTX AT2s on both a 2009 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4, and also on a 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer 2WD. I get fabulous tire wear on these vehicles.

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?
