Hit or Miss

These tires are hit or miss in my opinion. They perform great in snow and ice, but the My first set lasted maybe 25,000 miles, while the second set have 50,000 miles on them and still look brand new. I was told the reason why my first set wore out so quickly is because my tie rods needed to be replaced and this voided the warranty. Not sure if that's true or not, but the original set had little pieces of rubber chunking off regardless if they were on the front or back.

132.000 unfailing miles

I replaced the almost worn out tires on the used vehicle I purchased thirteen years ago with a set of Michelin LTX M/S. They have performed flawlessly in all kinds of weather in city, highway and trailer towing conditions. The vehicle just turned over 200,000 miles, which would be over 132,000 miles on these tires, and they still have a little tread left. I'm donating the car, but will make sure my next set of tires are Michelins.

GREAT TIRE

I bought these tires in June 2021 and really like the way the handle the road. The only thing I do not like about them is they sling gravel or catch (pick up) items off the roadway, I have running boards but you can hear the gravel hit the under truck or the running boards. I don't know if over time it will chip my vehicel. I had the AT/2 Michelins up to 181 thousand on truck and had no complaints there but these had 10 thousand extra miles on the life of tire so thought I would try them out, so we'll see.

I have had Michelin LTX M/S tires on my Yukon since 2003, I have 200,000 miles on my vehicle and are on my third set of Michelin's. They are the best tire I have ever had and will buy nothing but them. I do a lot of highway driving and the ride, handling, and stability in the rain are perfect. I strongly recommend these tires to anyone who owns an SUV is looking fro a great tire. You will not be disappointed with the Michelins. I get 70,000 miles from these tires and never ever have any problems.

With proper rotation and ...

With proper rotation and inflation every 5000 miles, I have reached 80,000 miles on a set. I should have replaced at 75,000 miles just for safety. I live on a gravel road and these tires do not have rubber pieces chunking out from tires as another brand of tire I had on when I purchased this truck did. When I called that manufacturer about that set I was told not to drive on gravel roads. The Michelin tire is the most durable and safest tire I have ever used. I use them mostly for on road driving and I feel that this is the only light truck tire worth the money. I love the way they my truck handles when I have a set of Michelins on and I can count on at least 65,000 miles on a set in which that is what I have on them now and they still have about 10,000 miles left. This tire is a very quiet tire as far as road noise is concerned. I recommend nothing but Michelin tires for light trucks.

Very Good

The tires are great. They give me the security I need when driving on interstate highways. My original tires were the Latitude Sport and when I went to purchase them the store I purchased from only had three in stock, so they talked me into the LTX M/S. I have been very pleased with the LTX M/S

Nothing but Michelin

Our vehicles (17+" tires) all have Michelin tires. Purchased smaller used vehcile (15") with non-Michelin but quickly forced to replace. Immediately had little or no road noise, tail-fishing or bumpy ride! The smaller tires are as excellent as their bigger "siblings"!!

Great Tires with Outstanding Road Noise Suppression & Wet Traction

Third set of the Defender LTX M/S tires on two diesel pickups used to tow approximately 15,000 # fifth wheels. They are quiet, great wet traction and decent in snow. These tires are not designed to routinely run up and down wet dirt/muddy roads, through fields or Upper Peninsula winters. Love these tires and that is why I am a repeat customer. As with any brand & model tire the vehicle must be in alignment to include the frame or there will be abnormal wear. As with any brand & model tire if the tires are not properly inflated there will be abnormal wear. Proper inflation does not mean pressuring the tire to the maximum number located on the sidewall either.

worst Michelin tire I ever had

I've had these tires on my 2015 F250 since July , thought maybe they would get better but no hope. I've bought Michelins for the last 23 yrs , a new set about every 14-15 months. These Defenders are worse tires ever , VERY bad ride , I always bought Michelin for the soft ride and road handling. But never another set of Defenders. If the didn't cost so much I would change them out now.

This set of tires is on a Ford Explorer. They are wearing exceptionally well, and are quiet on the road. Based on the tread depth left, I should get approximately 90,000 miles on this set. I have Michelin Tires on all of my vehicles and would not use any other brand of tires. I have been buying Michelin tires for over 25 years, and I have never been dissatisfied.
