At presentI have a 4 ...

At presentI have a 4 wheel drive Avalanche and 2 wheel drive Avalanche. For the past 12 years I have not run anything but Michelen tires on my vehicle. I am on long road trips in my job and I love the quite smooth ride I get from my Michelen tires. when I go in the rough with the 4 wheel drive I have no problem with traction in mud or snow . I live in the Ozark mountains and all of the back roads I travel or flint rock gravel and I have never had a sliver punture my Michelen tires.

So Far So Good

We were looking for a new set of tires and wanting great performance, longevity and ride noise. We came across this tire and for the first several weeks all has been good. We've dealt with some rain and icy conditions and no lack of performance issues so far. The ride noise has been the most impressive including during a road trip we took as well. We've been impressed so far with some of the key aspects we were looking for.

Unbelievable mileage

The Michelin man probably doesn't want to hear this but the last set of LTX M/S 225 70R15 tires I got 128,000 miles out of them and when my dealer could not locate another set for my Ranger they got me 235 70R15 and I've got 90,000 on these tires and they should last easily as long as the first set. I drive as a regional courier in the Kansas City area and went through OEM tires, replacement tires from other manufacturers and I will always buy Michelin's from here on out!!!!!

Best light truck tires ...

Best light truck tires I've ever owned and I've tried 7 different brands/models. What most stands out is the wet weather performance and tread life - which are usually mutaully exclusive. I have 18,500 more miles that any previous tire. No flats / no problems / no degradation over time. Great snow performance and queit.

Exceeded the warranty!!!

I bought these tires and regulary aired and rotated them per the manufactures recomendations. The tires exceeded the waranty by 14,000 miles. I will never by another tire. The tires are quite on the roads and highways and grip well in all weather. I am now on my second set and they are performing well. I own a 3/4 ton pickup and regularly tow and haul heavy loads. Michelin knows tires and they have a customer for life. Keep up the good work Michelin.

These are simply the best tires ever.

These are simply the best tires for any truck. The traction on a wet road is great. They are the quietest tire you can buy. The ride is in a league of its on. The mileage is unsurpassed. Don't even consider anther tire. I buy a set every two years.Happy Happy happy with these tires. .

Last Christmas we drove ...

Last Christmas we drove from Dallas to Abilene in a blinding blizzard. It tool us 13 hours versus a normal 3 hours. We encountered blowing, drifting snow and extreme icy conditions. The ruts on the interstate were 4 to 6 inches and on stretches the ice was more than a little slick. We had NO problems with traction and made it through places that even big rigs with chains were having problems. The combination of these tires and our Honda Ridgeline are remarkable and I would definatley buy them again. Thanks Michelin Man.

LTX tire noise

I have always been a Michelin fan. The recent set of LTX's were installed at time of vehicle purchase in 2019 and got me 90,000 miles. I purchased a new set in May of 2022, they have roughly 10k miles on them. After the first rotation they began to howl. I expected a little but not like this. I took the vehicle to point of purchase and inquired about the noise. We rotated front to back but the noise remains. It's been too long and too many miles for a tire adjustment from the store so i'm about to pay additional money to swap out the tires for a new set but after reading other reviews about the noise i'm afraid my money will not be well spent. To me it seems Michelin's improvement to an already great tire is ruining my enjoyment of driving and the security of riding on the best. Not sure what to buy now.

Excellent ride, but.......................

I have 30k on these tires and they wore abnormally down the middle, despite keeping proper air pressure and rotating them. The original LTX M/S2 tires were the best tire I ever owned and what made me a Michelin customer. These new Defenders may look like the old design, but are clearly inferior.
