Only Michelin

Since I purchase my 1st Michelin tire in 1996 I have been totally impressed with the quality of all Michelin tires. I tell all my friends, colleagues and children buy Michelin tires just 1 time and you will never buy another brand of tire. The safety performance of Michelin tires is a great confidence builder, I really do feel safer with Michelin's on my vehicle so much I do not have to worry when my wife is out. Please keep up the great workmanship.

LTX M/S LTX M/S 2 & tomorrow the Defender LTX M/S

I've been driving since 1983. I've driven a tremendous amount of miles for someone who doesn't make a living driving cargo. I've run the first 2 versions of this line on a Chevy Tahoe 4x4 and Ford F-150 4x4. These tires are amazing. They run noticeably smoother, quieter and longer than OEM tires. They are absolutely the best all purpose on road tire available in our Cleveland and Ohio climate. I know Michelin does not approve running tires too long and I never will again. but our last set, on the Tahoe, ran 117,000 miles when we sold the Tahoe at 260,000 miles. A friend purchased the vehicle and said the tires ran another 10,000 miles.

Outstanding Quality, Longevity and Performance

I am rating the LTX M/S2 tires that I replaced today (11/17/2016) with Michelin LTX A/T2 tires. I logged a total of 70,752 miles on those LTX M/S2 tires and received service from them for 5 years with no dry rot, no premature aging or premature wear. I could have logged another 3,000 miles on the ones I replaced today but decided to go ahead and install new ones for the winter. I have bought only Michelin tires (after negative experiences with other brands) since 1996. In fact, when I have purchased a new vehicle that wasn't equipped with Michelins, I would immediately replace them with Michelins.

Great Tire

I have had the Defender on my 2013 Ford Explorer for a few days. I almost didn't buy them because of reviews saying that they are noisy and have poor ride quality. I am glad that I didn't believe those reviews. These tires are as quiet as my old Latitudes and give me a good ride, plus I get the 70,000 mile warranty instead of 55,000 miles. Having the tires for only a few days, I haven't tried the in snow yet, but they have a good tread design to give good traction. I am very pleased with my decision to buy the Defender.

***UPDATE*** Ulra Disappointed

I had previously mentioned how rough and loud these set of tires are. After going back to the tire store, the mechanic suggested I get my U-joint fixed. The took care of the rough ride and the road noise. These are now the Michelin tires that I have come to expect. I appreciate Michelin customer service responding to me very quickly.

Great Tires

I have these tires on my truck, 2009 F-150, and when it came time to get tires for my wife's SUV, 2007 Trailblazer SS, these were top on my list. Since installing them on the vehicle I am more pleased with them than I am on my truck. They are a lot quieter than the tires they were replacing, and the ride is much improved as well. I have been very happy with the quality and value of Michelin products.

best all-around tire on the market

I have used Michelin tires exclusively for 20+ years. I found them to be the quietest road tire and a great wet traction tire. I consistently get 50k+ care-free miles from them.
