Disappointed after 6 years

Bought set of 4 in Jan 2019. Put 50,000 miles on them and the massive cracks between the tread valleys are extremely troubling. All 4 tires have the massive cracks. I have a lot of tread left (65%), but I can't bring myself to drive with them because of how bad the cracks are. I've never seen cracks this bad on tires that are 10 years old let alone 6. Not spending my $ on these again.

Big Decrease in Quality

This is 2nd set of Michelin tires. The first set whined loudly and didn't have a sure flat fit on the road. (I did drive 800ish miles, did not improve) The warranty put a second set on. The second set rides better but they still whine. I would think for the price of Michelin tires now, that I could get a decent set. I got 55,000+ miles on the previous set I put on my Chevy trailblazer in 2010, And they were half the cost

Shrinkflation

Manufactured with far less tread depth compared to the LTX M/S. And further sold as a benefit to mileage ect. This seems to be the classic percentile grab directly from your pocket. I have always purchased Michelin tires for towing and was very pleased with the LTX M/S durability, wear, mileage, noise. Why sell as a premium tire and give less for the money?

Expensive but good for the value

I've had the Michelin Defender tires (Defender T+H for my sedan; LTX M/S for my SUV) on two different vehicles, and both sets impressed me right out of the gate. The first thing you notice is how quiet they are - road noise dropped immediately compared to my old set. Ride comfort also improved, especially on long highway drives. The grip is excellent in dry and wet conditions. Even during heavy rain, I felt in control, with minimal hydroplaning. Handling feels solid and predictable, especially on curvy roads. They're not cheap - but with the long life and consistent performance, they're more of an investment than a splurge. That said, if you don't plan to keep your vehicle long, cheaper tires might make more sense. The installation process was easy, it was just dropped off to the mechanic.

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!

Outstanding Quality, Longevity and Performance

I am rating the LTX M/S2 tires that I replaced today (11/17/2016) with Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. I logged a total of 70,752 miles on those LTX M/S2 tires and received service from them for 5 years with no dry rot, no premature aging or premature wear. I could have logged another 3,000 miles on the ones I replaced today but decided to go ahead and install new ones for the winter. I have bought only Michelin tires (after negative experiences with other brands) since 1996. In fact, when I have purchased a new vehicle that wasn't equipped with Michelins, I would immediately replace them with Michelins.

***UPDATE*** Ulra Disappointed

I had previously mentioned how rough and loud these set of tires are. After going back to the tire store, the mechanic suggested I get my U-joint fixed. The took care of the rough ride and the road noise. These are now the Michelin tires that I have come to expect. I appreciate Michelin customer service responding to me very quickly.
