I have put about 30,000 miles on Defender LTX M/S in all weather and they handle very well on my Honda Pilot. Stop wining about noise! These are noisier than passenger rated tires as these tires are light truck/crossover tires and are able to handle higher weights and loads. I run them about 4 lbs higher pressure than the SUV door sticker for higher vehicle load per the Michelin spec.

We got our first set on a used vehicle, we drove it all the time in all kinds of weather and had no issues! The tires we had on our other vehicles were wearing out and dry rotted within the 1st year of having them. We were replacing them all the time and theses Michelin tires kept on going and going like the energizer bunny. So we said enough is enough and we replaced the rest of the cars with Michelin tires too. Lets just say the tires out lived the cars. So now that is the only tire we look at and will buy. And we will make sure our kids do the samething. So what ever you are putting in that tire Michelin don't change a thing, it is perfect.

Bought these for my wife's explorer sport '02. wanted something to be able to handle wet roads as well as slight off-road conditions. Very pleased at the ride quality, low road noise and wet, lick, road handleing. Took it off-road and was very impressed. Massive mud puddle with no wheel spin at all. I feel very safe with my wife behind the wheel now.

The tires have worn well. I have 49,000 miles on them and have about 10,000 miles left. The only thing I have noted is some chunking of tread on gravel roads. I have pieces of tread missing from several of the tires. I am usually towing my trailer/Jeep on gravel roads. It appears the rear tires cannot handle the weight on gravel without having chunks of tread come off.

I purchased four new LTX M/S tires for our 2003 Honda Pilot in June 2005 to replace the OEM tires after a noisy 48,846 miles. I checked the mileage this morning before writing this review: 158,001 miles, and the tread is still well above the wear bars! Great tires!

I have used other brands of tires in the past and they haven't lasted as long as the Michelin's. I had them on my 1994 S-10 4WD Blazer and they lasted seven years for me and they will last probably another year or two for the person that I sold it too this past summer. Michelin tires seem to be the best for sidewall stability and long tread life. I will buy some again soon when I can save up enough money for the LTX M/S^2 LT285/70/R17 for my Expedition.

When I purchased my last vehicle it had realtively new Michelin tires on it. I was so impressed with the durability and wear that when it cam time to replace them I stuck with Michelin's. There are just some things that you have to buy and realize that you get what you pay for, and in my opinion that tires are the biggest safety factor on a vehicle.

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

I owned a set of Michelins on a Volvo I once owned. Now that I have a daughter and I am concerned about her safety more than my own and she needed good tires I bought her the best that I once knew of: Michelin. If I can afford them for my wife, (she's the primary driver in our home), her next set of tires will be Michelins also.

I have always liked the performance of my Michelin tires but the tramlining on this set is a definite negative. I truly would not have purchase them had I known that it would be this noticeable. I needed new tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I put on about 35K miles a year so I didn't hesitate getting these as I have never had this problem with other Michelin's on my cars. Very irritating considering half of my daily commute is on grooved pavement.
