Wow

Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.

I bought the LTX M/S for ...

I bought the LTX M/S for my 2006 Sequoia. The Speed Rating and coeffiecent of drag were most important to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride (very smooth) even over bumps (speed bumps at 30mph). I put 40,000 miles on it before I traded the vehicle in with lots of tread depth left. Never a problem less one flat from a screw.

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

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).

Bought a used Nissan 4X4 ...

Bought a used Nissan 4X4 pickup, the tires were worn but I thought I could get a few more miles on them. Then I picked up a nail in the sidewall on one, and went looking for a replacement. Being a Saturday, some tire dealers were closed, go figure, so I stopped at place I don't normally shop. They had a set of 4 Michelin LTX M/S tires, just the right size and offered a good price, so I said why not? They improved the looks of the truck right away, and as I pulled away from the shop, I could not believe how mush better they made the truck ride. Later, we had some of the worst snow we've had for some time. In 4 wheel drive, those tires were unstoppable, they just kept on digging. Will I buy more Michelins, you better believe it!

A great tire would buy again

I purchased these set of tires when the other tires wore out. I have them on a half ton truck. They handle grrreat and they are lasting a long time. I keep the truck well service for allingmnents and rotation of them. Hardly any wear shown on these tires.

Amazing snow grip!

Two years ago after 32 inch snowfall I was the only one on the road besides the plow trucks. The day before, on my way home from work, the snow was coming down hard and I was headed for a 250 foot elevation hill climb. About halfway up, and around the bend, cars were in the ditch and blocking the road. I had to come to a complete stop on the steep incline. Whew, I didn't slide back down the hill. I put it in four-wheel-drive low expecting some slippage as I started moving again. Surprisingly no slippage whatsoever! I slalomed around the cars and pulled a couple out of the ditch and one up the hill to safety. Without a doubt I would purchase Michelin mud and snow tires again for my four-wheel-drive vehicle.

I was so glad to see that the new truck I purchased in 2006 came with Michelin LTX tires. I had used up two sets of Michelin tires on my old truck and currently are on our second set of Michelins on my wife's station wagon. We are completely satisfied with every aspect of these tires.

Another Great Start With New Michelins

I just bought a new set of Defender LTX M/S tires for my 2018 Lincoln Navigator. They are quiet, even on typically noisy concrete. We'll see if they perform as well and exceed the tread life warranty like my multiple sets of LTX M/S2 tires did on my Ford Expedition. Tire rotations every 5,000 miles make a difference in making the tread wear more evenly.

LTX M/S Ford Expedition

My 2003 Ford Expedition now has 160,000 miles and I am now on my second set of LTX M/S. I got about 85,000 miles on the last pair which was a little less then I expected. The winter handling in Minnesota, along with the traction during the off road driving I do make them well worth it. Great handling and fairly quiet too. They do instill confidence in less then ideal conditions.

Not impressive

It's a month and I am not impressed. I switched from Michelin Premiere which were very nice. Essentially it's like switching from nice and smooth ride to one in which you feel every vibration and bump on steering wheel. 1. The tires are louder than expected based on reviews. 2. I keep feeling vibration, even at very low speeds. The person in tire place checked and says everything looks right. It started with tire change so it is definitely tires not anything else in car. So this is definitely not comfortable drive tire. Probably good for trucks, but not other cars.
