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.

I bought a used Honda Ridgeline in 2008 that had these tires. About 200k miles and 4 sets of tires later, I am looking for another set of these tires. I average about 600 miles a week and living in Colorado I see all kinds of inclement weather and road conditions (even dirt!). These tires have saved my life more than once. Highly recommended! Long life and great traction in all kinds of conditions. And doing a ton of hi-speed (avg 80mph) driving, these tires spin smooth and I have no complaints on road noise.

I have been a faithfull customer of Michelin tires since i can remenber. my dad always told me that they were the best for yor money and he was right. i just recently bought my second set of 4 Michelin LTX M/S tires for my truck. Now my wife likes them too, that she will not have me purchase any other brand. good job michelin. keep it up

I bought this set of four tires in 2007 for my Explorer at 91, 000 miles. Through rain, snow, hot summers, and dirt roads, they have held up well and done what they were designed to do. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new set of Michelins (LTX MS 2 s) for the same rig at 162000 miles. They've been good tires. Held up well and are worth the money. Michelin has had a good reputation since forever and I work too hard for my cash to spend it on anything not holding up. These tires probably could go another 10,000 (rotated regularly), but they don't owe me a thing and I'm happy to replace them with another solid set. Thanks for not pushing junk on the market and having a quality product.

I bought this set of Defender LTX M/S tires last week for my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited. As soon as I started driving the truck with the new tires I couldn’t help but notice how much smoother and quieter my ride was. Now this truck already rides like a fine luxury car but the difference these tires make is very noticeable to me. In addition to the comfort improvement you won’t find a better tire for wet traction any where. I have owned 5 sets of these tires between my wife’s 4Runners and my trucks and truly believe these are the safest and best tires you can buy especially for highway use. They last a long time too. They are not the cheapest but are the best and in the long run the best value for keeping you safe and getting long service from the tires.

I read about these tires, and that they were of a harder rubber....I wanted a tire that would last, but accepted the rougher ride. These were on my 2000 Ford Ranger, and lasted longer than any tire I had previously owned. In the rain and light snow ther performed very well, enabling me to get uphill to my house!

I have had Michelin tires on my last 3 vehicles. I usually change tires at 70,000 miles but Michelin tread looks like it could go 100,000 or more. The last set I had put on had to be patched on 2 of the tires due to road debris causing a flat. never knew they had ever been patched, still had 40,000 miles put on them and then I sold the vehicle. I highly recommend Michelin tires since they never seem to lose their edge.

My 2003 Ford Expedition now has 160,000 miles and I am now on my second set of LTX M/S. I got about 85,000 miles on the last pair which was a little less then I expected. The winter handling in Minnesota, along with the traction during the off road driving I do make them well worth it. Great handling and fairly quiet too. They do instill confidence in less then ideal conditions.

I've always used Michelin, then Ctls were on sale and I chose them. 3 Flat tires in 6 months. Been working at same place same drive path for 25 years. Had the new tires taken off and new Michelins put on. They even road quieter. I won't do it again. Flat tires are a pain to deal with especially when it's freezing out.

On my Chevy Silverado HD Diesel pick up they are great for mileage over the other tires I have used. Traction is great in wet weather and snow also. I will be replacing them with new ones the same when they wear out. I will get about 50,000 miles as opposed to 35-40,000 on previous brands.
