Weak sidewall

I sliced the side wall open while driving on hard top on a pice of lumber at low speed. Only 12,000 K on the set. Now wether to replace two or all four as its a 4X4. Disappointing, good fuel economy and ride though. Maybe I would have better luck with AT/2? Its the sort of failure I associate with off road use.

Defenders on 2014 GMC Sierra

I needed to replace my stock Good Year Wranglers which I considered good tires at 95K. After careful research I settled on The Michelin Defender LTX M/S and they have exceeded my expectations in the first six weeks of driving. I am mostly highway with a mix of city driving averaging about 400 KM a week in northern Manitoba. The first week I had the tire we had constant wet greasy snow and for the last few weeks a mix of -30 to -10 and intermittent snow. These tires have exceeded my expectations for traction on the snow covered and slippery roads during acceleration cruise and stopping. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride.

They work in Warmer months

Have previously bought Michelin tires because they are pretty durable, the traction is decent and they're comfortable The handle isn't as great on my truck so I may need to look at different brands but they do work and get the job done in the summer months. But when the winter comes I have to make sure that I have a year-round tire with really good tread

vehicle is a 4 wheel ...

vehicle is a 4 wheel drive 2500HD with the 8.1 engine. The original tires lasted 50,000 miles. I experienced one flat tire from a nail when the tires were new. At 50,000 miles, I asked for Michelin LTX. This was a good choice. The Michelins were driven for 110,000 miles will no problems. The tires had finally worn to the wear indicators when I discovered a 1/2" screw sticking in the tire. I removed the screw, but there was no leak. I believe I could have driven another 10,000 miles before I would have been into the wear indicators. I have never had another set to tires to match the performance of the Michelins. The tires always drove straight and worn evenly. I am very pleased with this brand and these are the reasons I purchased another set.

Michelin is all we buy!

Over the years we've tried other tires that were supposed to be equal to Michelin, but we never got the wear out of them like we should. We had our first set of Michelins on our minivan and now are on our second set on our full size E-150. Nothing wears as well. Have considered trying others again, but we know what we get in Michelins - long wear and quality. We're customers for life.

Smoothest!!!

These are the smoothest riding tires I have had on my 4x4 pickup since I purchased it in 2002. One of the things that amazed me the most was that when they were mounted and balanced, only one of the four tires needed a small weight to balance. The rest required no weights at all!!! Still no weights added at the subsequent rotations and rebalances!! Quality! Quality! Quality! My first set of Michelin's and certainly not my last!!!!!

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!!!

So Far So Good

We were looking for a new set of tires and wanting great performance, longevity and ride noise. We came across this tire and for the first several weeks all has been good. We've dealt with some rain and icy conditions and no lack of performance issues so far. The ride noise has been the most impressive including during a road trip we took as well. We've been impressed so far with some of the key aspects we were looking for.

92000 miles

I purchased a set of these after having cheaper tires cupping and camber wear. I now have 92000 miles (25000 of those towing) on them and they still have thousands of miles left to go. They look brand new and dont wear irregularly like cheaper tires. Incredibly quite and smooth ride.

Michelin, the only way to ride

This LTX M/S tire is on my Explorer that is driven daily. I have had several vehicles without Michelin tires and other tires Do Not have the comfortable ride that the Michelin's do. The ride is smooth, quiet, and long lasting tread when tires are maintenance regularly,( inflation, rotation, ect. ) The only negative thing I can say is I wish I could get double the mileage out of the Michelin, as right now I am pushing well over 70,000 miles on this set of MTX M/S.
