Did the reasearch and selected this tire sight unseen for my Ford Expedition. When I saw the tire in person I was concerned the aggressive tread would be noisy. So glad I didn't. The Defender LTX's are the quietest tires I've ever owned, and have excellent grip dry, wet, and even in snow.

I have been driving and buying tires for over 50 yrs and these LTX M/S are by far the smoooothest riding tires I ever had. I could feel the difference in 2 blocks. I only have 200 miles on them so I have to wait and see how they last. I only give them 4 stars because I just bought them. They are NOT cheap but I think they will be worth it.

This is my 5 set of the LTX M/S on my 2007 Ridgeline with 485,000 kilometers on it. averaging close to 100K a set with 55 to 60 % hard gravel driving. I was never a Michelin fan until this tire came with the truck. I now wont run anything else at least on the Ridgeline. Carry the load rating nicely and I have only had 1 unexpected flat since the truck was new.

On the drive home from the shop I could tell these are my favorite all season tires I have ever owned. There are quieter than I had hoped for, but I was surprised how much smoother the drive was, something I had not noticed in similar range tires that I have owned. The last time I felt the tires made a big difference was we with X-Ice tires.

I run these tires on my Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 Cummins Quad Cab. It's my second set now , I get about 80,000 km's out of them now and I'm just looking here to see size options as I'm going to need to replace them before the snow flys. I have considered other tires but in the end I'm not prepared to put up with any tire noise or ride issues. These Defenders are amazing, quiet, smooth, accurate, great traction in wet, snow, mud. Just need to find a dealer that can get me a good price as they are expensive but they are worth it for sure. My truck was stock with 265-70-17, but I have been running 285-70-17 with amazing results, my truck when not pulling a trailer will get 10.2 Lphkm, about 29 mpg at 110 kph.

We have been experiencing very poor driving conditions, however, our Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires have been excellent in assisting with our driving safety. Everyone should drive according to the conditions no matter what type of tires your car has on it. Our Michelin's are excellent in every way. Our Lexus RX350 has better control since we had our Michelin's put on. We simply feel safer.

Michelin devotee for 30 years. Put these on my F250 truck to replace previous LTX/MS tires since these were no longer available and the new Defender line was touted as soooo much better. Immediately these tires shook my vehicle as though they were unbalanced. I had them rechecked for and they were properly balanced. Secondly, these tires also vibrate on paved roads as if they were knobby style tires or if the lug nuts were loose. They make it seem as though something is wrong with my vehicle.I hate these tires and now I'm stuck with them. I have less than 1000 miles on them.Not up to the quality of what Michelin has previously stood for.

Have had these tires on my car since 2008 (180,000 Kim's later ) I can not where them out, normal maintenance and rotation, no flats but starting to crack a little on sides so will have to buy new ones soon. Well worth every cent and great for winter and summer, no need to get winter tires with these.

Best tires that I have bought!

Tires are great , perform excellent no issues , I would bye another set
