great product

The best tires money can buy, I replaced factory tires Bridgestone with only 3,000 miles on them because I had two flats and then after a rotation developed a vibration I could not get rid of, put the Michelins on an no problem and all the other problems went away, plus I know with winter coming and wet weather the Michelins will be much safer on the road. I have them on all three of my vehicles.

Smooth Ride

I didn't have time to have tires installed although I knew I wanted Michelins, so I asked my wife to take the car to get the tires replaced. When she walked in she said the car is different, you better drive it. When I drove it, I thought, how could a set of tire make such a big improvement in a car's driving & handling - it was the Michelins smooth ride.

Defender LTX M/S tires are very rough riding

Now on my second set of P265/70/R16 Defender M/S tires (in a month) and they are horribly rough riding (as were the first set). Thought there might be something wrong with my vehicle since the Michelins I took off (Latitudes) were great riding tires, so, I changed all rotors, pads, all the front and rear suspension, two different sets of shocks, tie rod ends, idler arm and bracket, etc. to no avail. The first set of Defenders were balanced 4 times before the tire shop finally changed them out for a different set. I am extremely unhappy with these tires, as is the wife. And as everyone knows, when the wife is not happy, everyone is unhappy.

The LTX is by far the ...

The LTX is by far the best tires I have ever owned. My first set of LTX was bought used from A friend I worked with and when I bought the tires they had 50,000 miles on them and still looked new. I put another 100,000 miles on them!!! Thats right I got 150,000 miles out of one set of tires and they still have 1/4 inch deep tread and I'm still using them on and old project truck. The only reason I changed the tires was due to age and some weather cracks on side walls other wise I would still have them on the truck and I'm willing to bet I could get 200,000 miles out of them. Needless to say I purchased a new set of the LTX for the old truck also I brought a set of LTX for my full size van. I have a set of Michelin on my car and as soon as I save up enough money you can bet I will be buying a set of LTX for my other 4x4 truck!! For me the Michelin LTX has made a believer out of me to be the best truck or van tire you can buy!!! I can send you a picture of the old tires and you can see for yourself how good they still look to have 150,000 miles on them. Thanks Clete

These tires are very quiet and offer a comfortable ride

These tires were purchased Feb. 26, 2021 on a new vehicle. The date today is June 19, 2023. I have driven 18,500 miles since my purchase and the wear bars have already shown on two of the tires and the other two tires are close behind. This is only with highway driving. I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin Premier LTX tires. Needless to say, these tires have shown excessive wear.

Great tires! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased a set of Defender LTX M/S tires for our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. Could not be happier! Smooth quiet ride, with very good handling. Recently traveled about 1400 miles over varying types of road surfaces and mountain driving. Felt a lot more comfortable coming down the steep and winding mountain roads that we have traveled many times so very familiar with those roads. Nice looking tires as well. Have not tried rain or snow yet so only rating performance based on dry roads.

MICHELIN LTX m/s

I have been driving on Michelins for years now because they handle well, wear well, and I feel safe driving them. I have had them on SUV's as well as small trucks. The last vehicle that I put them on was a Tacoma 4x4. I highly suggest giving them a try. I have only one problem during all the years that I have used them Michelin took the tire back and replaced it.

Great Tires!!

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.

Pleasantly Surprised

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

Very Noisy and rough ride

I bought these tires less than a year ago, I have put about 4,000 miles on them and I really dislike them. There is no smooth ride and they are so noisy it's frustrating. I was told by the tire shop to give them some time since they are new but there has been zero change. I don't even like driving my vehicle anymore because of the tires. I really wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately aside from the warranty I would never recommend these to anyone.
