Disappointed

I put 4 Defender LTX on my new Colorado 3 years ago. They handle good, low noise and good traction even in snow. The problem is they are almost worn out with only 57000 km on them, around 3/32"/2.5mm tread remaining. They were properly rotated. Due to the high cost, I don't know if I will buy more of these tires. Very disappointing!

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

These tires came as standard equipment on my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. At 85,000 miles they needed to be replaced. The folks at the tire dealer thought I was crazy for putting such expensive tires on an older truck, but I told them that I planned to drive it until this set of tires wear out and I would be making money with the more expensive tire.

Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.

The LTX is by far the best tires I have ever owned. My first set of LTX was bought used from A friend I worked with and when I bought the tires they had 50,000 miles on them and still looked new. I put another 100,000 miles on them!!! Thats right I got 150,000 miles out of one set of tires and they still have 1/4 inch deep tread and I'm still using them on and old project truck. The only reason I changed the tires was due to age and some weather cracks on side walls other wise I would still have them on the truck and I'm willing to bet I could get 200,000 miles out of them. Needless to say I purchased a new set of the LTX for the old truck also I brought a set of LTX for my full size van. I have a set of Michelin on my car and as soon as I save up enough money you can bet I will be buying a set of LTX for my other 4x4 truck!! For me the Michelin LTX has made a believer out of me to be the best truck or van tire you can buy!!! I can send you a picture of the old tires and you can see for yourself how good they still look to have 150,000 miles on them. Thanks Clete

Quiet, comfortable and capable tire

I recently put these on my 2015 Grand Cherokee and so far, they are great. Prior to these, I had the Latitude Tours, which I loved. These have a more aggressive looking tread pattern, and initially, I was a bit concerned they would have increased road noise, or compromise the comfort of the ride, but I have to say I am impressed - they are as good in those respects as the Latitude. These appear to be a more capable tire in snow and mud and I am looking forward to taking them through a Minnesota Winter. Recommmended!

I purchased this set of Michelin's to replace the original factory tires on my FJ Cruiser which wore out at 25000 miles. I have over 45000 miles on the vehicle now and the Michelin;s still look like new. These tires are great on the highway and perform very well in the ice and snow hear in Colorado.

LTX m/s

I have had these LTX tires now for 2 years have put about 40K miles on them and they have performed very well. They ride smooth and make my F150 drive more like a car than a truck. Everytime I take the truck in for a rotate and balance I get great reviews from the tech's about he even wear and the long term durability of these tires. I have been very happy with my purchase. Keep up the good work and Thanks MikeA

Great tires

I got a set on my 2014 crew cab F150 4x4. Have had them about a year and a half and now nearing 90,000 miles. Never a set of tires that have lasted this long. They have been great. Smooth ride and handle well in all kind of weather even when we get hit with the lake effect snow we get here. They are finally getting down to needing replacement and I have an appointment for Monday to get another set.

After 63,000 miles, I'm ready buy again.

We are a retired couple. Traveling with our GMC 3500 Truck Camper with a gross weight of 12,400 lbs. Have traveled 63,000 miles on our existing LTX M/S 225 85 16 E feeling safe and trouble free. Going to purchase 6 more by November. When we Leave for Florida. Best tire we have ever purchased for the cost. If we where to change anything it would be the same tire with a higher capacity such as 235/75/16 if it would fit our rims. Please advise
