Snow traction is back!

Had to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus all season tires at 28k miles. They didn’t last long. The major snowfall of the season they had me questioning my Explorer. It’s 4WD and even in the snow mode, traction wasn’t there. Braking was horrible, ABS was kicking in all the time. Felt like I was back to driving my Town Car, and even that dealt with the snow better. The Ford dealer agreed these tires were about done. Weeks later the dealer hooked me up with these tires. No more flat spots. The ride improved, quieter too. Yes I know new tires make a difference. But the old tires weren’t that old. The next snowfall was a big improvement. Traction was back, braking was confident. 1,000 miles with these tires and so far I’m sold this was a smart purchase. 6 inches of unplowed roads this morning and I felt much more confident. Driving smart of course. Cannot say how long these will last but my precious experience of these tires on a ‘99 Tahoe was favorable too. Good tires for this vehicle.

88K problem free

These were the original tires that came with the vehicle. There was still tread on the tires after 88,000 miles. The tread wear indicators had not yet shown. I keep my tires inflated at 34 psi and rotate them twice a year. I decided to replace them with the same Michelin tire as came from Honda with the new truck because of the excellent performance. I could have continued to drive on the tires for another 6-12 mos, but because I will be traveling more than usual this summer I decided to replace them now. Great all weather tire. I live in central Ohio. This winter I had no problems in snow even though the tires had 80K+ miles on them.

Quality Tires

Michelin Tires provide a smooth ride as well as wear at least as good as the mileage warranty. I purchase Michelin for all my cars after the original equipment tires wear out and they are usually the last tire I need. With the price of mounting and balancing tires today why would you want to run a cheap tire and pay this over and over again. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tires I have ever owned!

The first thing I noticed ...

The first thing I noticed was the Jeep Liberty these tires were mounted on, would start to roll forward when the vehicle was placed in gear. A new experience since the original equipment tires just sort of sat still and always needed a little nudge on the accelerator to get into motion. Secondly, the original equipment tires would squeal in tight turns even at very slow (essentially) walking speeds. Not so at all with the Michelins. Third, handling and control of the Jeep has improved. They've only been mounted on my vehicle for a couple of weeks, but I;m definitely very enthused with their performance By the way, my 2000 Buick has Michelins and my 2005 Winnebago motorhome came with them as original equipment, and they have performed flawlessly in their first 45000 miles of service.

91000 miles out of my tires

Put LTX MS tires on my 2001 Ford Excursion Rotated every other oil change and just had to put some others on now and when I started looking at tires the Michlens are so high priced but when I figured out that i got 91000 miles out of them they are cheaper than the others. Hope the LTX MS2 will get as god as the first ones did. Wish they would not have changed to to LTX AT the AT2 are not as good. Love the ride.

I think these tires ...

I think these tires should receive 5 stars but the price are on the high side. When I go into tire stores I have to hagel with them for my Michelins. I have three trucks and my daughter has two. All but one has Michelins on them. When it's time for the Explorer I'll put Michelin on it. I like not to keep buying tires, I'd like to buy them once.

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!

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.

Dave, we are sorry to read that you are unhappy with the Defender LTX M/S tires on your Enclave. As part of the Michelin Promise Plan, these tires come with a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. You are still within that 60 day period. Simply return to the selling retailer to have the tires swapped out. Have the dealer contact us with any questions. We hope that you will consider Michelin's as your replacement tires.

Michellin LTX MS

Have been a loyal Michellin customer. These tire out performed by expectations for miles and ride quality. I was able to get 85,000 miles with limited rotation. The tires still had 5,000 to 10,000 miles, but with winter coming, it was time to change. Will always stay with Michellin.
