I purchased my LT2s in February 2010. I now 62,000 miles on them. It won't be long before I'll be ready for new tires. I've had such a good experience with the LT2s that intend to buy Defender LTX M/S to replace them. I put Michelin tires on another car I owned and have recommended Michelin to others and all have been very satisfied with their purchase.

I have had the Defender on my 2013 Ford Explorer for a few days. I almost didn't buy them because of reviews saying that they are noisy and have poor ride quality. I am glad that I didn't believe those reviews. These tires are as quiet as my old Latitudes and give me a good ride, plus I get the 70,000 mile warranty instead of 55,000 miles. Having the tires for only a few days, I haven't tried the in snow yet, but they have a good tread design to give good traction. I am very pleased with my decision to buy the Defender.

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 bought this tire a couple of weeks ago and can not believe the difference this tire has made in the performance of my Silverado. It doesn't feel like the same truck. Ride, steering, tracking in dry, wet and off road conditions is Excellent, with no noticeable noise. This is a very comfortable riding tire for a truck. Highly recommend these tires. Defender LTX M/S 275/50R22 111H.

26570R17, I knew the minute I drove away from the dealer, that I had made the right choice. The smooth, quiet, ride, at 40 PSI, was immediately VERY noticeable. I will soon find out how they do on the highway, and during Chicago winters. I am very pleased with this purchase! We drive about 50/50 city, highway, and this is our vehicle of choice for travel. Comfort is important to us, and these really fill the bill. If they are as good as Michelin says they will be, (rain, snow, stopping, traction, handling) I will be a Michelin buyer for everything. BUY THIS TIRE! Even my wife commented on how smooth and quiet they are.

I have these tires on my truck, 2009 F-150, and when it came time to get tires for my wife's SUV, 2007 Trailblazer SS, these were top on my list. Since installing them on the vehicle I am more pleased with them than I am on my truck. They are a lot quieter than the tires they were replacing, and the ride is much improved as well. I have been very happy with the quality and value of Michelin products.

I've been driving since 1983. I've driven a tremendous amount of miles for someone who doesn't make a living driving cargo. I've run the first 2 versions of this line on a Chevy Tahoe 4x4 and Ford F-150 4x4. These tires are amazing. They run noticeably smoother, quieter and longer than OEM tires. They are absolutely the best all purpose on road tire available in our Cleveland and Ohio climate. I know Michelin does not approve running tires too long and I never will again. but our last set, on the Tahoe, ran 117,000 miles when we sold the Tahoe at 260,000 miles. A friend purchased the vehicle and said the tires ran another 10,000 miles.

I have purchase nothing but Michelin's for my 2001 mdx and 2005 tacoma. Always used the "lattitude tour" version and loved them. Probably went through a total of 5 or 6 sets. Now discontinued I went with the defender LTX on my tacoma. They are very noisy. I have to turn up my radeo at 35 MPH. yes, they handle great, but I can't stand the noise. Now my mom needs a set of tires for her 2013 avalanche and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

I am rating the LTX M/S2 tires that I replaced today (11/17/2016) with Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. I logged a total of 70,752 miles on those LTX M/S2 tires and received service from them for 5 years with no dry rot, no premature aging or premature wear. I could have logged another 3,000 miles on the ones I replaced today but decided to go ahead and install new ones for the winter. I have bought only Michelin tires (after negative experiences with other brands) since 1996. In fact, when I have purchased a new vehicle that wasn't equipped with Michelins, I would immediately replace them with Michelins.

A lot quieter, smoother ride! Just what I was hoping for! Better wet pavement traction and handling.
