Second Try with Michelin

I purchased the predecessor (Non Defender) LTX M/S tires about 2.5 years ago. Warranty was for 70,000 miles but I only made it to 47,000 miles and was at or below the wear bars. Tires were rotated and balanced every 7500 miles. I did get credit back for the shortfall in mileage and now have the Defender tires on my truck. Hopefully this time they will make it to the 70K. Pretty disappointed in the fact that my first set of Michelin's did so poorly. Truck is just a daily driver not used for work. Tires performed well but 47K is not even close to the warranty.

Buying Another Set!

2015 F-150 XLT SuperCab. Photos are of the tires 4 years and 80,250 miles later. Rotated them with every other oil change. They would probably go another 10,000! Driven in snow, heavy rain, construction sites, and have pulled trailers. Even wear, quiet, and great in rain and during quick braking. Buying another set this week.

Disappointed.

Smooth enough ride, feels like a sure grip ... but a tad noisy compared to our previous tires. The biggest disappointment is with the mileage. After expecting a modest improvement based on the marketing claims, our mileGe actually dropped from 10.7 to 11.5 with our mid-sized SUV ... same driving environment and driving habits ... 25/75 city/highway driving. Would not recommend these tires yet, based on our 2,000 km experience. The value just isn't there. We were expecting more from our first ( and, sadly, probably our last) purchase of this brand.

Good braking but a little more noise than normal

I love Michelin tires and have always been pleased with them. I purchased these and traded them for a different Michelin because they made a lot of noise when I was driving on the highway. It may have been a defective tire in the mix, it was hard to tell. The service department traded them out for me. The tires did brake well and handled well in the rain.

Best summers i have ever owned.

Bought these tires trying to find something durable to run on my f-350. after one rotation and 40,000 km last summer I have 50-60% tread left and great fuel economy. i got noticeably less mileage when i put on my winters. i drive hard in many road conditions and love these tires. I average 1500 km per week and have nothing but good to say about these tires.

Awesome Tires

I've had the LTX AT 2, and the LTX M/S2 on my last two vehicles and just replaced a set of M/S2s with the new Defender LTX M/S. Very nice ride on my Tahoe, two things like like better over the M/S2, the tread is actually a little deeper which will help since I live in snow country in the winter. Also the ride seems better along with less road noise. Overall I think Michelin hit a home run with these. one Awesome tire and will recommend to anyone that asks!

Round Tires

My second set of Michelin LTX's. Michelin tires ride nice and quiet. They are round. Truck owners and 4x4 owners will have to use less weights to balance over sized tires because the quality control at Michelin does a better job of making sure the tires are round and balanced better right from the factory. Other tire manufacturers don't come close ! Thank you for making a quality product that I can easily expect to get 60k miles on, just like the set before this.

SNOW ❄️ 🧊 ICE Traction!

Wet and Snow ❄️ traction was awesome this winter! We got a crazy 🤪 extra amount of Snow and Ice in Richmond, Virginia this year! I have got a lot better gas mileage with new tires also! Had gotten 89k out of old Michelin tires!

Great winter traction

I live in central Maine and our driveway is about 600 ft long and gets icy during the winter months. I have had no problems getting up the hill in all snow and ice conditions. Very happy with the performance of the tires.

Love my Michelin tires

I have been a Michelin customer since 1982. I have had many vehicles and have always used Michelin tires. The grip in rainy weather makes me feel secure. The durability is fabulous.
