I purchased the predecessor (Non Defender) LTX M/S tires about 2.5 years ago. Warranty was for 70,000 miles but I only made it to 47,000 miles and was at or below the wear bars. Tires were rotated and balanced every 7500 miles. I did get credit back for the shortfall in mileage and now have the Defender tires on my truck. Hopefully this time they will make it to the 70K. Pretty disappointed in the fact that my first set of Michelin's did so poorly. Truck is just a daily driver not used for work. Tires performed well but 47K is not even close to the warranty.

I live in the in an area that has chip seal roads. these are the most unforgiving roads on tires. I have 2 4x4 autos. the least milage I have recevied was 21000 miles on a set of tires, not Michelin. next set when needed on my auto will be the Michelin as I know the result from using Michelin. also installed Michelin on my fathers suberu, still on after many miles and in good shape. thank you-

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.

I have been using these tires for the past 12 years i have three trucks that use them on and there performance is the best i have ever seen. i rotate these tires regularly and have yet to have any problems. the tires wear at least as long as stated and have had no problems with the belts breaking or any thing else. i would recommend these tires to any one!

Have had Michelin on many vehicles over the past years, 2 weeks ago put new ones on my wifes suv and today getting new ones on my S 10 pick up. I like the wear, performance and overall constrution, you get what you pay for! There was no need to compare with other brands, my past experience and auto back ground makes the choise simple, Michelin!

Over the years, I have allways preferred Michelin Tires on all my cars. Recently I put the LTX M/S 33 RWL tires on my 2005 Jeep Unlimited. I wanted to improve the ride comfort and still have a semi-agressive tread for those Jeep Moments when you need it. These tires do (improve the ride comfort), and do (push mud and water around) when you want them to. The LTX M/S also stands square and tall (looks good doing it).

This is my third set of LTX M/S tires on my 3/4 ton truck and at 286,000 I keep telling myself this will be my last set. These LTX tires are superb for for highway as well as the many offroad conditions I get myself into. I put lots of highway miles and rely on a smooth ride from my LTX'es. If my truck will make it to 340,000, I will most definitely put another set of LTX tires on it.

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

I am on my second set of these tires on my 2004 Chevrolet crew cab pickup. I had 56,000 miles on the first set with still a lot of tread. Replaced them so I would have new tires for the 2010 hunting season when I get off road. This is the best tire I have ever used for a pickup, and I am 78 years old. They are quite on the pavement and adequate for off road use.

I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 club cab and still have the original tires on it. I have been rotating them as well as replacing them for winter driving with a more aggressive winter tire. I am truly impressed with the tread wear as it seems I will have many more years to keep these tires for my truck. I have 113,500 miles on my truck with approx. 75,000 on these tires. I am also impressed that there are no signs of weathering or checking in the sidewalls. Great job on the compounds used and or the quality of the rubber.
