These tires have performed well!

I knew the Michelin name and respected the value and legacy. These tires have performed above my expectations and then some! They show little wear after 20k and will last well into the 50k mile mark. I would recommend Michelin as the last tire you will ever buy. These are my first set, and I am very pleased!

Disappointment- LTX M/S Poor Wear

I was a Michelin Man for life until I got 50,000 miles out of my 70,000 mile LTX M/S tires. I paid the higher price to get the mileage that Michelin is known for so I'm really disappointed. My friends are saying the same- they just don't last like they used to. I highway drive back and forth to work and do the occasional hunting trips in my Nissan Titan LE so there is no reason on my part for the excessive tire wear. Sure, to make it better they will give me the 20% for the wear but that does not cover (1) the extra I paid to begin with and (2) all of the extra cost of going thru the mounting process 20,000 miles earlier than expected.

Best tire on the planet

I bought my Pilot new it now has 81,200 miles on it with the same original tires. I'm looking for new ones now before winter and I'm having a hard time finding them in my area. Why aren't people stocking what really works. I thought about trading it in and the 2 dealers that looked at them said those aren't the orig. when I said yes they are their comment was that's one for the record book! I live on a farm in SNOW country and they are by far the best, all around, worth the money tire ever made!!!

Tires are good for what ...

Tires are good for what it does. Good tracing in the snow and they last a long time. A few gripes that I have is the loud road noise that comes from the tires at high speeds. In addition, two of the four tires I bought were not good since even after multiple balancing and even having my rims checked for deformities, the tires would wobble when the car was in motion. Brought it up with the place where I bought it from and they said it was all right, but my mechanic said that should not be the case and that the tires should be like the other non-problematic one.

This top of line really the top of line!

The LTX M/S tires provide the greatest control for all-weather driving conditions to me. And, this is substantial since I drive a small truck. The rear-end is quite loose, especially when the roads have precipitation on them. The tires provide the traction that is needed for the city traffic which I have to endure. I would and have recommended Michelin tires to family and friends. Michelin has a life-time customer! Thanks for making such a great product!

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.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.

Great Tires Love Michelin.

I left Goodyear and bought these tires 4 years ago and have loved these tires. We pull a Hitchhiker Discover America 300FK all over the US and these tires are quite and very smooth riding. I have worn the outside edge off as I have used the recommended 60 front 70 unloaded tire pressure. This is under inflated so now I run 70psi all around unhooked and 70 front 80 rear when hooked to the RV. I am getting a new set tomorrow.

Excessive road noise

I bought these tires in late November 2019 for my 2017 GMC Sierra Denali and have put roughly 4,000 miles on them. I have always been a Michelin fan and have several different Michelin tires on different vehicles throughout the years. I am, however, extremely disappointed in this set of tires due to the excessive road noise. Road noise seems to be magnified when taking corners or bends in the road.

I only have 6,000 miles ...

I only have 6,000 miles on these tires. Just did my first rotation. I am very pleased with which the tires have preformed so far. We do alot of highway driving. The tires are great at highway speeds they hold the road well and are great on wet an slipper roads. What really impressed me more was how the tires handle rocky gravelly bumpy roads. My Jeep GC rides over these roads with such ease. The handling is excellent with good steering control over the bumps and potholds and the interior ride is comfortably smooth considering that thiese are unpaved gravel roads. This is my first set of Michelin tires and I would buy these tires again.
