Excellent ride, but.......................

I have 30k on these tires and they wore abnormally down the middle, despite keeping proper air pressure and rotating them. The original LTX M/S2 tires were the best tire I ever owned and what made me a Michelin customer. These new Defenders may look like the old design, but are clearly inferior.

I'm in love with these ...

I'm in love with these 'truck" tires on my 1996 Cadillac (Fleetwood Broughm). No Michellin tires were on the recommended list by Michellin, so I had to make my own choice from the technical information given to me by Michellin. My driving is mostly on asphalt roads, but about 20% of is on rutted gravel in the North Carolina mountains, and I feel very safe driving on these heavy treads. Also, my mileage is excellent on highways, much beyond tires I drove on two changes prior. And, getting 60,000 miles on these tires is not bad either. Also, driving on rain slick roads puts me in the confident column; they hold well! Altogether, couldn't be better! Keep it up Michellin

Great tires

I got a set on my 2014 crew cab F150 4x4. Have had them about a year and a half and now nearing 90,000 miles. Never a set of tires that have lasted this long. They have been great. Smooth ride and handle well in all kind of weather even when we get hit with the lake effect snow we get here. They are finally getting down to needing replacement and I have an appointment for Monday to get another set.

Wow

Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.

Great SUV Tire

These have been great tires. They make no adverse noise, and supply great traction in wet and dry weather. I am not as diligent as I should be on rotating and the still wear evenly. These tires currently have over 30,000 miles and you can hardly tell any wear. I would highly recommend these to anyone with a SUV.

Dissatisfied

I purchased these units a few months ago and I am not pleased with the handling characteristic's. On straight roads, Hwy's, there good. In mountain roads, Hwy's, they seem to roll. (Soft side wall?) I have purchased many Michelin's over the years and have them on my other vehicles. However, I am very disappointed and not convenient for used on fool weather roads. My intention is to replace them with another manufacture.

I have never had tires last like these!

I am now on my second set of these tires and will buy them again in another 8 years if I still have my RAV4. I had over 86,000 miles on the first set and only replaced them after the combination of extreme dryness, cold and heat in AZ caused the sidewall to crack. Amazingly, there was still quite a bit of tread left on the tires. Expensive, yes, but definitely worth every penny!

Wears Well

I use this tire on my everyday use truck, it is great handling and quiet. It feels great in any weather wet or dry. My only complaint is the cost, I wish it was just a little more affordable. But most of all I do value my life and that of my family and you can't put a price on that.

My new LTS M/S look great too!

My new LTS M/S tires look much better than the sample picture Michelin has posted. The sidewalls have a nice look and the tread looks better. If these tires get the miles that Michelin claims, and if all the positive reviews I have read are true, than I may be one happy new tire buyer. I will let you all know if I get the 60k+ miles in a few years.

Michelin LTX wear like Iron

I have had these tires on my 1993 suburban, 1999 suburban and my 2005 Duramax Diesel Crew Cab Silverado pickup truck. I wouldn't put anything else on a vehicle like these. When I sold the 93 suburban the tires had 50,000 miles on them and they still looked like new. They wear like iron but give a great ride. You won't be disappointed.
