I just had 4 new Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires installed on my 2004 Suburban. Just driving home from the service shop felt like I was driving a new vehicle. The ride was smoother, quieter, and more responsive. I had researched for weeks in advance to making the decision to go with Michelin and I am very glad I did. I feel Michelin did their homework with this tire design and definitely got it right.

I purchased these tires to replace a set of Asian tires that were original equipment on the SUV. The OE tires only lasted 35,000 miles and were as bad as you get in Wisconsin weather. These new Defenders are great on ice and snow and have a quite ride. They are harder then other tires I had so you do feel the bumps a little more in cold weather. I did get the 3 for 4 sale so saved a lot on the tires. The last set of LTX tires I had lasted 85,000 miles on an SUV so I expect the same from these. Many car companies are now using the cheap Asian tires to try to save money. I just is not worth it to get cheap tires and then have to replace .

overall I really like the tires. They are probably the best tires I have owned so far. I like them so much I just put a set on my mom Pathfinder and it also made a huge improvement over the stock tires. Even my mom said she could feel a big difference.

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.

These OEMs are the original set of tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, which now has 65,000 miles so far. There is still approx. 10,000 of remaining tread wear. I rotate these tires each time I service my vehicle, and the tread wear is very even across the tire, with no difference in wear between front/rear tires. Tire tires are very reliable, score highly in all categories, and they hep keep the vehicle moving straight. In other words, they don't cause annoying radial pulls, to the left or right, like some tire have a tendency to do. Off-Road traction is good, for the few times I've been in snow/ice, or up an down grassy hilly parking lots at sporting functions. I will buy these exact tires when replacing my OEM set.

We had these on our Chevy Trailblazer, because I had previously had this series on another vehicle, and was very pleased with the traction in snow. Again, these never disappointed me and better yet, we got 80,000 miles out of them, and they wore evenly all the way across the tread, and remained very effective until they simply had no tread left. Best set of tires I have ever had.

The LTX M/S tires are long wearing and more importantly, they retain their wet and snow traction until the very end. Unlike other tires that may have good and dependable traction for the first year, LTX M/S retain their positive traction for stopping, fast starts and cornering.

My first set of Michelins ( I am 62 yrs old ) Defender LTX M/S. Everything was great around town and local roads. Then I took a trip to Los Angeles. The rain grooves cut in the freeway caused this model tire to wander and follow the grooves. This was a very uncomfortable feeling. It was constant steering wheel adjustments. I guess the wrong tire for my truck.

My mom is and over the road truck driver delivering camper trailers all over the country. Her 2008 Silverado 3500HD has nearly 550,000 miles on it. She is on her third set of Michelin - Michelin Defender LTX M/S. 3 Sets of 6 tires per set(18 tires) none of them have ever blown out. The least amount of miles she has gotten out of a set is 103,000 miles the most was 120,000 miles on the last set. These things perform and are well worth the investment.

We are a retired couple. Traveling with our GMC 3500 Truck Camper with a gross weight of 12,400 lbs. Have traveled 63,000 miles on our existing LTX M/S 225 85 16 E feeling safe and trouble free. Going to purchase 6 more by November. When we Leave for Florida. Best tire we have ever purchased for the cost. If we where to change anything it would be the same tire with a higher capacity such as 235/75/16 if it would fit our rims. Please advise
