Everything I know ...

Everything I know technically about tires you couldn't fill a thimble with. So I will tell you what is important to me. The two things that are most important to me are safety and dependability which I continually get from Michelin tires. I think I echo the sentiment of most women. Thank you for this opportunity to say thank you to all of your staff. Kathy

The only compaint I have ...

The only compaint I have is that one of the tires failed less than 2 weeks after purchase. Traveling 65 mph on a straight stretch, my drive wheel tire had a side wall blow-out. This could have proved fatal had it been non-straight stretch road. However, since it's replacement there has been no problem and we are more than satisfied with them.

I have run these tires on ...

I have run these tires on Ford, Chevy and Dodge trucks for over 15 years, always try to replace my factory tires with them, haven't found another tire manufacturer who can provide as good a tire and the mileage life as the LTX M/S. Being in outside sales I drive close to 50K miles a year with a mix of city and highway. I typically get 80K miles on a set with even wear down to the end with regular balance & rotation every 5K miles, lucky to get 50K miles on any others.

Almost the best tires ever!

Best tire ever made for large vehicles that primarily drive on the street. As a small business owner with service vehicles we have purchased a lot of these tires. Why did I rate them a three? Because Michelin cares more about longevity than safety. This goes for all of their truck tires. These tires are the best tires on the road for the first 45,000 miles of tread life and then the rubber compound gets harder and harder as they continue to wear making them so slippery that they easily hydroplane and barely get a good grip on some hard dry surfaces. Do yourself a favor and consider them a 50,000 mile tire. I noticed they are fading these out for the Platinum Edition with a high mileage rating. I'll probably try them soon but I'm sure it's the same result.

Great Ride and Long Tread Life

I have used Michelin tires on my trucks for 15 years or more. I tried other brands and most of them would not ride smooth for any length of time. Michelin tires always run smooth and don't bounce. I pull a travel trailer many times a year with some trips coast to coast and never worry about tire failure running Michelin and always have a smooth ride. These tires always last at least 60,000 miles and have never had a flat with them. I will be converting my Honda Accord to Michelin within the next month to finally get a smooth ride. Love my Michelin tires!!

2 sets of LTX M/S

The LTX M/S tires are standard equipment on my 2005 GMC Envoy Denali 2WD. I am preparing to get my third set of tires for this vehicle, yet I only have 76k miles on the vehicle, which means I only get 34k miles out of these tires per set. My complaint is the tires seem soft, and I do not get the expected mileage out of these tires. I am trying to get a set of Michelin LTX AT2's but they are on a long back order. I have the LTX AT2s on both a 2009 Chevy Silverado 3/4 ton 4x4, and also on a 2002 Chevy TrailBlazer 2WD. I get fabulous tire wear on these vehicles.

Not sure what these other reviews are complaining about

I have used bought 2 sets of Defender LTX M/S for my 2013 Toyota Highlander and each time I have been very pleased with both the wear and performance of these tires. First set lasted around 70-80K miles and the current set has been on for ~20K miles and look barely used. These tires have lasted much better than the Bridgestone tires that originally came on the vehicle and also ride much smoother. Just got back from a road trip (8 hours there, 8 hours back) and several times literally thought to myself how pleased I was with the smoothness of the ride. I can only guess that the other reviewers with poor reviews are either fake or there is some other issue other than the tires (wheel alignment or bent rim or installation issues). I use Michelin on all of my vehicles and I have recommended Defenders to multiple of my friends based on my experience with these tires and all of them have been very pleased also.

I am on my third set of ...

I am on my third set of Michelin tires on my 1996 Ford Explorer that I drive daily to work. My Wife is on the second set on her 2004 Expedition. These tires changed the ride and handling tremendously. Neither vehicle has a rough ride, one has almost 300,000 miles on it, 275,000 on Michelins, the other almost 96,000 miles. I haven't used another brand since 1998.

Because so much is riding on your tires!

My Dad was an avid advocate of Michelin tires all my years growing up. They were the only tires he would buy. I myself however thought tires were tires, as long as they were round and held air who cares. When I was in my early twentys I started my own contracting business and spent a lot of time on construction sites. Needless to say I also spent a lot of time changing flats, due to nails and other construction debris, and a lot of time purchasing tires every year or so. Flash forward fifteen years or so and picture yourself in the high speed lane of a four lane highway during rush hour running around 70 mph. Suddenly and without any indication of a problem my left rear tire blew. Somehow I managed to get over through two lanes of traffic just as the lanes split, two lanes each way and into the center area of the split where I came to a stop. As I sat there trying to gather myself, my now deceased fathers words echoed in my head. Because so much is riding on your tires! It's the perfect slogan, mostly because it's true, but obviously I never got the picture like I'm sure a lot of others haven't. Since that day, now twenty years ago, I'm an avid Michelin fan. In the past twenty years since I've been driving on Michelins I've had three seperate instances were I'm quite convinced that if I had any other tires I possibly woundn't be here to write this review. I preach to all my family and friends that besides the safety factor I haven't had a flat tire in twenty years, and I only have to mess with buying tires every five or six years. You guys make an amazing product and as a consumer it's nice to be able to purchase what I consider to be a life safety product and do it with complete confidence. Please never compromise your quality for your bottom line as I have seen happen with other so called top of the line products.

First Dissapointment

Been using Michelin tires for about 15 years and this is the first time I've been disappointed. Only got 3 years and 30K miles out of these before they were worn to 3/32. I expected them to last longer, but they actually wore out quicker than the Primacys I used to use.
