The first thing I noticed was the Jeep Liberty these tires were mounted on, would start to roll forward when the vehicle was placed in gear. A new experience since the original equipment tires just sort of sat still and always needed a little nudge on the accelerator to get into motion. Secondly, the original equipment tires would squeal in tight turns even at very slow (essentially) walking speeds. Not so at all with the Michelins. Third, handling and control of the Jeep has improved. They've only been mounted on my vehicle for a couple of weeks, but I;m definitely very enthused with their performance By the way, my 2000 Buick has Michelins and my 2005 Winnebago motorhome came with them as original equipment, and they have performed flawlessly in their first 45000 miles of service.

I drive back and forth to my home in northeast Ohio to my Condo in North Carolina. My Michelin LTX M/S tires give me a smooth and quiet ride on highways and the security of being able to handle any rain or snowy conditions on the roads. Great tires…great price..

I just bought another set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Ford Explorer. My last set lasted more than 15 years and 89000 miles and still had 7mm or original tread left. Good running for all those years. No cupping or other problems at all until recent slow leaks developed. I have been buying only Michelin tires for the last 45 years and will never buy another brand.

I purchased this set of tires in 2006 and they have provided excellent service. The mileage and traction these tires provide is the best of any other tire I have owned. This set of tires has 60,000 miles plus and are still going. I regularly tow my boat with this SUV and found there traction both on the road and at the boat ramp to be very good.

In my honest opinion, there is NO better tire for SUVs operating in northern climates than the Michelin LTX M/S. They provide a quiet, comfortable ride, with great handling and uncompromised wet traction. They are the only tires that I have found that will climb my steep driveway, when it's covered in packed snow. They even helped my RWD van get up the drive!

Simply put, the ride is exceptional, great performance, tracking, steering road conditions, tire treadlife. Only downfall is the white outline tires. The way your bonding process is? ( i WAS TOLD THIS BY YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) SEE ANY HISTORY, warranty adjustments/ claims...). Had sidewall cracking. Not sure if this could pose a danger, did not want to take that chance. Hoping you would solve this issue, I PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR SIDELINES B.F. GOODRICH, hoping by the time I had to replace them and come back to these tires, this problem would be solved. Currently watching this...

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

I had hoped to keep my truck until I wore the tires out. My engine went first. I advised my son to try them. He did. Now he can't wear them out, and he needs to trade his SUV. They don't have the size for my new truck, so I intend to go to the LTX-MS2. They aren'yt cheap, but I don't want any other. I put Michelin on all my vehicles and haven't had a problem for years. I am alwaysn looking for a deal, so....

I bought these tires because someone told me they had a good ride. I found out later that they pull good in the light mud, light snow. I have had them on my truck now for over 50,000 miles and still have about 20,000 miles left. I am currently looking at a set for my Jeep. I wish all tires lasted as long as these.

I am running a set of LTX M/S 2 now on my 2003 Suburban after having achieved 85,000 miles with a set of LTX M/S tires that were one size larger than the tires that came as orignal equipment. This was to help with trailering a 20 ft travel trailer. Ride was harder with the large size LTX M/S. Now with LTS M/S2 of teh same large size ride is smoother than before. I expect to get well over 100,000 miles with these tires. I will not buy any other auto or light truck tire besides Michelin.
