Great tires on my Silverado.

This is my second set of tires on my 2000 Silverado 1500. Truk has 185K miles. Driving around the city or on the highway very comfortable. reat traction and gas mileage has been outstanding. 20 mpg on the highway! Would definitely buy these again. Great in the rain and wet locations and in the snow with 4x4. I get very good mileage fro these tires easy 70K miles. Have not done too much off road with these so I can't comment.

these tires lasted ...

these tires lasted 130,000 miles and still were not quite down to the wear bars. vehicle is a 2000 ford explorer and while i did not beat them up this suv is not babied either. even late in the tread life they performed extremely well in the rain and snow. the new LTX M/S 2's are even better starting and stopping in the rain. i do not believe that there is a better tire on the market, at least in this application.

" Michelin equals security on he road"

Security on the road is the most important reason I buy Michelin tires for my vehicles. I feel safe with my family knowing I've equiped my SUV and cars with the quality of Michelin tires. They make my vehicles handle like they should in any condition wet or dry, hot or cold I know I can depend on my Michelin's.

Good Tires

They are simply, very good all around tires. I had purchased 2 used LTX tires previously and I was shocked at how many miles I drove on them? So when I could afford to purchase new tires I got LTX and they have been great! they are quiet, ride well, good traction, I don't know what else I could say? I would buy them again.

This is the second set for my truck.

These are a great set of tires. Long lasting as long as you rotate every 5,000 miles. If you don't your front tires can become cupped and you will feel some front end vibration. Rotate from to back every 5,000 miles and you can get 70,000+ miles easy.

Fantastic overall!

This is the best tire on my vehicle! I bought my Volvo XC60 with Continentals on it, they were okay but got very noisy as they aged. While most tires do get louder with age, I got fed up and replaced them with Michelins that were supposedly specifically for Crossover vehicles. Those were quiet and comfortable but didn't last but 3 years. Now replacement time came again, and I really didn't like the choices for decent 'Crossover' tires especially for the prices and wear factor. Then I remembered back when I had my Land Rovers they both had the LTX tires. Those wore like iron, great traction in any weather, and never had vibration issues. I was delighted to see these were available for the Volvo. Now living in Florida I really had no concern about traction in the snow but, wet weather (we get some heavy rains) between the all wheel drive and these tires wet roads were almost as if they were dry. Handling was every bit as good as it ever was. I knew due to the blocky tread design they weren't going to be quiet, but to my surprise there was only a slight hum, and with the unibody construction of the Volvo noise transfer is very much a part of life. After having driven this for over a year with these tires, I wish I had put these on years ago. I'm sure these tires will outlast my ownership of the vehicle.

REALLY loud! from a Michelin fan

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

Amazing snow grip!

Two years ago after 32 inch snowfall I was the only one on the road besides the plow trucks. The day before, on my way home from work, the snow was coming down hard and I was headed for a 250 foot elevation hill climb. About halfway up, and around the bend, cars were in the ditch and blocking the road. I had to come to a complete stop on the steep incline. Whew, I didn't slide back down the hill. I put it in four-wheel-drive low expecting some slippage as I started moving again. Surprisingly no slippage whatsoever! I slalomed around the cars and pulled a couple out of the ditch and one up the hill to safety. Without a doubt I would purchase Michelin mud and snow tires again for my four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Best Tire Ever

Great tires! They are worth the couple of extra $ to move up to this grade of tire. Quiet and smooth ride. Outstanding handling in all road conditions including rain, snow and ice. Haven't found a thing that I don't like. I've recommended these tires to friends.

The Ultimate Highway and Off-Road Ranch

I have been using Michelin LTX MS tires for years now. I've tried other brands and have always gone back to Michelin. The LTX MS is great not only on the highway, but performs well on the ranch and has never let me down. These tires have survived thorns, sharp rocks, and then provide a smooth and quiet ride back home.
