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.

I've driven on Michelin ...

I've driven on Michelin tires since the 70's and have been very happy with all of them. Great styling and tread wear. The current set on my '07 Silverado have 27,500 miles on them and you can barely tell they're used. ( Of course, regular rotation helps ) They are very quiet on the road at any speed. The handling of a full size truck is marginal at best, but these tires can handle anything I can throw at them. I've only been in one emergency braking situation with this truck/tire combination which required hard braking and a quick turn and these tires handled it like a champ. In almost 35 years of owning Michelins, I've never had a manufacture's flaw or any such problem and this current set looks like they will be just as trouble free. I won't ride on anything else but Michelins.

Smooth

Recommend by a coworker who has them. I'm very happy with my purchase, smooth ride, excellent grip and they supposedly last many miles. Just drove them on our first Wisconsin slippery winter conditions for the season and my new Michelin Defenders handled it great.

I purchased a used Ford ...

I purchased a used Ford Explorer 4x4 from a Ford dealer with a mis-matched set of tires. Knowing the vehicle was based on a truck platform, I still felt the highway ride should have felt better than what I was experiencing - loud tire whine,vibrations and a rough ride. I quickly replaced the OEM shocks which improved the ride somewhat, but it wasn't until I went to my Michelin dealer and he recommended the LTX M/S tires than I finally had the improvement I was looking for. After I replaced that mis-matched set of tires with the new Michelin LTX M/S's and drove it home, I thought my Explorer had been replaced with a look alike. I mean everything about the performance was dramatically improved! The ride was smooth with no tire whine and no more annoying vibration. It felt like the vehicle was finally gripping the road. And in the rain, it felt like I was riding on rails. Who knew tires would've made such a huge difference? I do now! I finally felt safe and secure, like I now had a vehicle that could take me anywhere. I'm a Michelin fan for life now! No other tires for me.

Replace Goodyear Wranglers with Defenders

Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.

Love Hate Relationship

This is one of the best tires anywhere for my 2014 MDX. But, like some reviewers, mine got very noisy. I bought my daughter a set for her same year MDX, and her's never got noisy. When you read the reviews, you realize that some consider them great and others consider them second rate. Quality control?

Great Tires

About 18 years ago I purchased my first set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Jeep Cherokee and was pleasantly surprised to find they were the best tires I ever owned. Great traction wet/dry & on/off road, quiet ride, and best of all long mileage. After purchasing a GMC Yukon I wasn't happy with the factory installed tires. They were noisy, poor traction off road and wore out quickly. After installing a set of Michelin LTX M/S I am very happy again. Based on my experience with tires I will only purchase and recommend Michelin tires.

Nice But Didn't Last

I purchased these tires for my Tahoe in 2016 because they came highly recommended. I've really liked their performance over these years with the gentle driving I do, mostly city -short distance to work, errands, and one trip to Colorado. However, I've only driven 38,000 miles thus far and am being told I need to replace due to tread wear. I understand the recommended replacement time period, but it seems the tread should have lasted longer than this. Am I missing something?

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.

Great tire for my Suburban...

End of tire thread's review ! After 20 months on our 2010 Chevy Suburban service vehicle and 135000 miles of New England Driving conditions these definitely are the best tires we ever had on vehicle. ( lots of Highway driving some occasional dirt roads ) Rotated as recommended and kept correct PSI. These tires IMO are the best !!!!
