This tire is very quiet and provides an excellent ride. I thought this tire would be better in snow than it is. It's does not provide good traction in light or deep snow which is why I bought this tire in the first place. Little disappointed with the snow performance but overall a pretty good tire. This tires tread is not aggressive enough for what I need it for.

This is my 2nd set of Defender LTX M/S tires for my 2008 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. I'm surprised to read that the latest reviews all comment about the road noise! One of the reasons I love these tires is because they are very quite!!! I've never had any road noise with either set of tires. I used to work out of state and had to make a 350 mile round trip each week. My first set held up so well that I basically had to replace them due to dry rot from age and not from wear. They work well in the rain and don't hydroplane easily.

Bought a set of these tires 8 years ago for my truck camper. Great wearing tires drove across Canada, among other trips. This year bought another set, drove up the Dempster highway (gravel and mud all the way) to Tuktoyaktuk and back with no tire problems. Would recommend these good 10 -ply tires.

Bought these tires about 4 months ago. They have about 5k miles so far. They are so much smoother and better steering response than the Toyos that came on vehicle. I have had two other sets of these on other vehicles in the past. I’m sure these will deliver the same excellent quality my others have. They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

This is my third SUV that I have bought the Michelin LTX M/S. They give me great traction and control in the ever changing winter weather in Colorado. I also appreciate the lower amount of road noise in the summer. I have also found that they get better mileage than listed if your driving is non-aggressive. Whenever I go off road for fishing or camping I never worry about road or vehicle control. I always recommend these tires to all my friends that have trucks or SUV's.

I bought my Pilot new it now has 81,200 miles on it with the same original tires. I'm looking for new ones now before winter and I'm having a hard time finding them in my area. Why aren't people stocking what really works. I thought about trading it in and the 2 dealers that looked at them said those aren't the orig. when I said yes they are their comment was that's one for the record book! I live on a farm in SNOW country and they are by far the best, all around, worth the money tire ever made!!!

Defender LTX M/S are outstanding*. Ride, comfort, grip, handling & braking are outstanding. Noise reduced exponentially. Other Michelins & brands may start out this strongly but based on previous experience & research, these Defender LTX M/S tires will** surpass all, certainly most all others. Name a better tire? I'll buy it! *More driving time of course, in various weather and road conditions, and at varying or higher speeds for longer duration is needed to establish baseline to test limits, etc. **Defender research shows some manufacturing problems Michelin must resolve. I want & expect less risk, more certainty. Michelin can do it!

I will use nothing but this brand of tire. For the last four new cars that I have bought, I immediately switched out the tires to my LTX M/S. Primary reason....the safety factor. These are the greatest for everyday driving in rain, snow, etc. I can drive with confidence in inclement weather.

Just had my oil changed on my GMC 3500 Duramax SRW. They were checking tire pressure and pointed out that the max tire pressure on my Michelin Defender LTX 265/70R18's on the front of my 1 Ton Truck are 44psi MAX COLD PRESSURE. The rear tires, same size, same tread pattern, same sidewall, same markings, is 80psi MAX COLD PRESSURE. Wow, the only difference i can see on the tires is three little numbers and evidently distinguish tire "rating". A great tire, this is my third set, but buyer beware that you may not be getting the appropriate tire (different speed/weight rated Defender Tires are absolutely mirror images) rated for your vehicle...MY mistake for not checking it AND Michelin's for making the tires exactly the same to the undeducated consumer. Guess that explains the blowout i had on I80 and the destroyed wheel...and thankful that after three trips from Nevada with a trailer in tow twice, once to Delaware, once to Florida, and another to Texas were without an accident...I need to go replace them before i tow my Toyhauler or Gooseneck Eqluipment Trailer again.

I put a set of LTX M/S tires on my 1994 chevy pick-up ten years ago. I have plowed snow, towed a camper, towed a boat and towed a dirt bike trailer. The tires have performed great under all of those conditions. They have good traction without being noisey on the highway but the best thing is they wear like iron! The tires have over 100,000 miles and still have 4/32 of tread left. I'm in the process of rebuilding the truck for my son so it looks like its time for a new set of Michelins.
