This tire has proven itself to me on the roads of the Southeast, and I can strongly recommend this tire for your own Light Truck/ SUV! I have driven the previous set for 141,000 miles before recently changing the set of four. I have no reservations in saying that this is the only tire I will own. Stopping distances are less, as well as curve stability are only two of the benefits you can expect from these tires!

Have bought Michelin tires for every car I owned. I bought these tires last week and drove on a short highway trip 3 days later. Horrible vibrations and they ride like a mack truck on constant potholes. The ride beat me to death and could not wait to get out of the vehicle. Loved my vehicle until I put these tires on the auto and regret this purchase already.

I was doing an oil change on my 2004 Tundra and asked my wife to look at the previous receipt for the last set of these same tires. She said 80,000 miles and ten years ago. although the tread was still good, I had noticed some steering wheel wabble at low speed and a slight pull to the left and had two shops check the alignment on my 120K miles Tundra. They both said your alignment is fine, so I drove it for a year or so trying rotation without a cure. I told her "These tires are good, but Old and hard". I put on this fresh set and Wala! no more vibration and no pull. Man this thing rides like the Tundra should. I know these tires are $$ but worth it to me. By the way I got 100,000 miles on the same Michelin Defenders on my Honda CRV.

This is my 2nd set of Defender LTX M/S tires for my 2008 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. I'm surprised to read that the latest reviews all comment about the road noise! One of the reasons I love these tires is because they are very quite!!! I've never had any road noise with either set of tires. I used to work out of state and had to make a 350 mile round trip each week. My first set held up so well that I basically had to replace them due to dry rot from age and not from wear. They work well in the rain and don't hydroplane easily.

I have driven on a lot of tires and none compare to these on my truck. Rated at 70,000 miles and I got more than that out of first set and am working on 50,000 on the second and last check only half worn. They not only wear well they give me a smooth quiet ride on the highway. I didn't buy my Honda Ridgeline for off reading so these are perfect for my needs. Thanks Michelin for building such a great tire. I will definitely be using these again on my truck!

These tires have done well in summer as well as winter driving (both snow and ice). The ride is plush, and that's both the good and bad news. Comfortable (if a little mushy) heading straight down the road, but they don't inspire confidence in turns. Too much 'give' in the sidewalls for my taste.

Excellent on road manners...my 92 Jeep xj feels new again! Yes a bit more expensive up front, but wear pays for the extra expense...they wear like iron...I have Michelins on my work truck as well. My wife's Passat is also ready for some new rubber...she got 65k out of the last pair of Micheline MXV4 Pilots and I can probably wait till spring, but with winter coming, I am going to replace them...with Michelines of course!

I have had many sets of the LTX tires on my pick-up trucks over the years. My wufe and I do alot traveling with our 5th wheel trailer and have had exelent service from our tires. Michelin has been my tire of choice for over twenty years. I consistently get 85,000 miles or more from each set of tires.

I purchased four new LTX M/S tires for our 2003 Honda Pilot in June 2005 to replace the OEM tires after a noisy 48,846 miles. I checked the mileage this morning before writing this review: 158,001 miles, and the tread is still well above the wear bars! Great tires!

After using another brand tire for 'wet weather' use I tried the LTX M/S tire and found the results fantastic. Much better traction on wet pavement, grass and the ride was improved. The tire performed much better and looks great! I plan to continue using this tire on my truck and tell everyone about the good traction, wear, looks and ride.
