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.

I'm in love with these 'truck" tires on my 1996 Cadillac (Fleetwood Broughm). No Michellin tires were on the recommended list by Michellin, so I had to make my own choice from the technical information given to me by Michellin. My driving is mostly on asphalt roads, but about 20% of is on rutted gravel in the North Carolina mountains, and I feel very safe driving on these heavy treads. Also, my mileage is excellent on highways, much beyond tires I drove on two changes prior. And, getting 60,000 miles on these tires is not bad either. Also, driving on rain slick roads puts me in the confident column; they hold well! Altogether, couldn't be better! Keep it up Michellin

My new LTS M/S tires look much better than the sample picture Michelin has posted. The sidewalls have a nice look and the tread looks better. If these tires get the miles that Michelin claims, and if all the positive reviews I have read are true, than I may be one happy new tire buyer. I will let you all know if I get the 60k+ miles in a few years.

I have owned three sets of LTX M/S , both on a Jeep Grand Cherokee & Two Chevy Silverado's. The LTX's were so smooth and quiet on my Jeep that it felt like it had a complete new suspension. I have over 82K miles on my current set on my silverado. I will never purchase any other tire than the the Michelin LTX series for any SUV or truck I own.

Quiet,excellent wet and dry traction,excellent directional control and braking. My LTX/MS tires have an aggressive and robust look that complement my Ford F150 truck. My wife told me the truck seemed to be easier for her to handle with these tires.I would highly recommend these tires.I have Michelin tires on my Honda CRV ,my Dodge Intrepid R/T and my Dodge Caravan .I recommend these tires to friends and family members alike.

I have had Michelin tires on my 1997 GMC Suburban since purchased new in 1997. I would not consider any other brand. Vehicle has over 225,000 miles and this is 4th set of Michelin tires. Absolutely the best tires I have ever experienced. Superb ride, quiet, smooth, and exceptional wear.

I have 166,000 miles on my GMC Envoy and I have only used Michelin tires (2 sets, That's 85,000 miles for each set) I am going to buy another set before winter. They make the ride the best, and you cant beat the mileage you get on these tires. I have nothing but good things to say about Michelins.

I purchased my first set of Defenders about 3 years ago. 245-75-17s (with "E" duty rating). Long story short, I got 90,000 miles on my first set of Defenders. I towed as much as 6,000 pounds on these tires, and loaded upwards of 3,200 in the bed of the truck on these tires. I was impressed, and continued to remain impressed. I could have reached 100,000 on this first set of Defenders but I do have my limits. I recently upgraded to larger tires for my truck. 285-70-17s. I stayed with the Defenders. So far, so good.

Superior difference in handling when on the road and at high speeds. Very smooth and better handling than the replaced Michelin tires that came from the factory. They look good and a bit more aggressive. So far very pleased with the tires and extremely happy with Discount Tires in Sioux Falls, SD. Our rep, Todd, went way out of his way to help us with the cost of our tires.

I purchased this very set 7 yrs ago for my '95 Z-71 SLE GMC which has 270,000 plus miles and never been happier with a single set of tires. I have driven these tires for 73,000 miles and still have 3/16 thread left on them. Being the frist owner of this truck (and yes, it is in immaculate condition all original), it has never been off road, but it has been thru some severe snow storms and have passed several trucks when roads have been bad. As far as rain, I've never been more confident in a set of Michelin tires, than these.
