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.

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.

Thr best tires I've had on a vehicle

Chevrolet put these on when two sets of the tires that came on the vehicle when new failed at 7000 miles. Have had them on now for nearly 97,000 miles just ordered another set for my Chevrolet High Country Silverado. Ride is superior to any make of tire I've had, durability is unsurpassed as you can see by the milage and handeling is great, especially on wet roads, don't know if you can get them to hydroplane in wet conditions. They lack a little in snow and ice but preform well if you just slow down like you should do anyway! Had only 1 flat in all the miles driven. Great security for my wife and I! Keep up the good work Michelin!!!

I used up all 70,000 miles on this tire

I bought this set of four tires in 2007 for my Explorer at 91, 000 miles. Through rain, snow, hot summers, and dirt roads, they have held up well and done what they were designed to do. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new set of Michelins (LTX MS 2 s) for the same rig at 162000 miles. They've been good tires. Held up well and are worth the money. Michelin has had a good reputation since forever and I work too hard for my cash to spend it on anything not holding up. These tires probably could go another 10,000 (rotated regularly), but they don't owe me a thing and I'm happy to replace them with another solid set. Thanks for not pushing junk on the market and having a quality product.

I have purchased (2) sets of LTX MS ( l set on a 1990 Jeep cherokee laredo, and on a 1997 grand cherokee laredo. Both sets have been excellent, with the set on 1997 jeep still with more than half the tread after 40,000 miles. I intended on getting these for my wife's 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo, but unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time. Also, the tires on the 1997 have been on for 8 years. I have recommended these tires to several of my friends, and I know least three have purchased the LTX MS. These tires are outstanding for all season, long mileage, and quite/smooth ride.

Awful

We have bought Michelin tires for our vehicles for years because we thought they were the best. Not these. And they were not cheap. I have hated these tires since they were put on my vehicle. I feel like I have a ride like Fred Flintstone. Yaba daba do!

I have driven 79,811 on a set of michelin LTX M/S tires with very even thread wear. I have noticed some sidewall cracks in all 4 tires and the traction is not so good on wet roads now due to thread wear. I guess it is time for a new set. I will buy the same tire again. JR

Disappointed

I have been a Michelin fan for 30 years. Every vehicle I have runs on Michelin rubber. I bought a set of Defender LTX M/S for my 2019 Ridgeline and could not be more disappointed. The road noise from these tires was terrible. They whined like a monster truck. I ended up replacing them with a different set of tires from another company. Another customer at the same tire store had a similar experience with the same tire. I’m hoping this is just a one off bad batch of tires and not a loss of historically great quality.

I would buy this tire again

These tires are the 2nd set I've had on my truck since new. The truck is almost 10 years old with almost 80K miles. The present set of tires still have a lot of tread left. I think I got 50 - 60K out of the first set. They have proven to be a good value and ride and handling are good.

Excellent tires!

These are the best tires I have ever owned. They are my second set and I plan on putting a set of Michelins on my wife's Honda CR-V next month. As far as use, I am a licensed Private Investigator and basically follow people for a living. I drive approximately 30,000 miles a year and many of these miles I am forced to drive faster and harder than I normally would under regular conditions and these tires handle well and have never failed me. Lastly, we own 3 vehicles and I check the tire pressure once a month on all three and I rarely have to add air.
