Installed these on my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee

I had installed these on my 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee a week ago after running on the factory tires. These are very quiet tires and handle great in wet weather. I like the smooth soft ride these tires give. I am a very happy customer. Thanks Michelin.

Best SUV and Light truck tire ever....

If you need to buy tires for your SUV or truck, go ahead and buy the best. The LTX M/S is absolutely the finest SUV tire out there. They will outlast any competitors tire hands down. Ride quality is phenominal. The few extra bucks you spent on the LTX M/S tires will be insignificant 5 years down the road. Get the best the first time. I'll never buy any other brand SUV tire.

not very happy with the defender

I have purchase nothing but Michelin's for my 2001 mdx and 2005 tacoma. Always used the "lattitude tour" version and loved them. Probably went through a total of 5 or 6 sets. Now discontinued I went with the defender LTX on my tacoma. They are very noisy. I have to turn up my radeo at 35 MPH. yes, they handle great, but I can't stand the noise. Now my mom needs a set of tires for her 2013 avalanche and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions.

I have had 2 sets of LTX ...

I have had 2 sets of LTX M/S tires on 2 different vehicles and have loved them. Each time I switched from the tire that came on the vehicles to the LTX I experienced an immediate improvement in the ride comfort. I also have had excellent results with wear and performance. In fact I specifically put these on my current vehicle because of my prior experience and they did not let me down despite being a different size tire. They were just as good as before if not better. They have been on my current vehicle for over 50000 miles and are still producing outstanding results. I will continue to use these tires or perhaps the M/S2's in the future.

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.

You get what you pay for with Michelin

I hate buying tires period. I learned a valuable lesson when I was young about tires. I wanted a set of Michelin's for my 1969 Mustang. Not many 17 year olds can afford new tires, so I settled on another brand. I had troubles from day one with those tires. I went back to the tire dealer and I was offered the opportunity to upgrade to a set of Michelins. I had to borrow money to afford them but man were they worth it. 29 years and many sets of Michelins later, I wouldn't change a thing. My current set has 83,000 miles on them and they still have some life left in them. Wow. I love it when a product lives up to it's hype and advertising.

Couldn't ask for more

OK, I had michelins on my honda accord years ago and remembered how good they were and how long they lasted (had 110K miles on them when I sold it). So when my 2003 Escape needed replacements for the tires that came on it at 60K miles, I went with the Michelins. Now six years and over 170K miles later I am ready for a new set (or maybe a new vehicle, since the odometer is near 240K). I am very pleased with Michelins. They last forever! The guy at the tire store said I could probably get 5-10K more out of them since I actually still have good tread but am seeing some dry rot - they are getting old. Great tires Michelin!

Good Tires Will buy again

I had Michelin LTX M/S for 80,000 miles on my 1999 Durango. Awesome, best tire I ever owned. Suv died before tires. Tires were still good. I was so pleased, I put brand new ones on my 2001 Tahoe with 200,000 miles. I only have 30,000 miles on new tires, but feel like brand new. I will buy again. A little more expensive up front, but over life of tire, I don't think you can buy any better tire(for a big SUV) period.

Switched from another name brand

I bought a certified preowned Highlander and it came with new tires from another company. After a 6 months or so of not doing a good job of keeping the tires properly inflated it developed edges on the blocks of the tread that made the most annoying sounds while driving. I put the Michellins on and it reduced the noise level dramatically. I was very satisfied and they lasted a long time too.
