I am in the ...

I am in the transportation business and have had great success with the Michelin product line. When it comes to passenger tires I don't think you can beat the LTX M/S. The ride and life of these tires are unmatched by any of the competition. I one time tried the competition because of price not cost but price and have been sorry ever since. The next purchase for that truck will be the LTX M/S.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

reply from Consumer Care MIC US

Thanks for the honest feedback. Sounds like you’ve been taking great care of your tires, so we totally get your frustration. The Defender LTX M/S is designed for long-lasting traction, but performance can vary depending on wear, road conditions, and vehicle setup. We’d recommend having a local dealer take a look to see what’s going on. And if you want to chat with us directly, feel free to call 866-866-6605 (Mon–Fri 8 AM–7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM–1 PM EST) —we’re happy to help!

Safety for the long haul

We had these on our Chevy Trailblazer, because I had previously had this series on another vehicle, and was very pleased with the traction in snow. Again, these never disappointed me and better yet, we got 80,000 miles out of them, and they wore evenly all the way across the tread, and remained very effective until they simply had no tread left. Best set of tires I have ever had.

I have loaded over twice the recommended capasity in my 2500 ram on numerious occassions. When I changed out the first factory set of Michelin's, they had over 85,000 miles with out a problem. My second set suffered the same treatment and were changed out when the odometer hit 180,000, without a dought these are best set of tires I've ever owned,

I used up all 70,000 miles on this tire

I bought this set of four tires in 2007 for my Explorer at 91, 000 miles. Through rain, snow, hot summers, and dirt roads, they have held up well and done what they were designed to do. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new set of Michelins (LTX MS 2 s) for the same rig at 162000 miles. They've been good tires. Held up well and are worth the money. Michelin has had a good reputation since forever and I work too hard for my cash to spend it on anything not holding up. These tires probably could go another 10,000 (rotated regularly), but they don't owe me a thing and I'm happy to replace them with another solid set. Thanks for not pushing junk on the market and having a quality product.

Rough Road Capable

I drive down a 10 mile rough gravel road twice a week. The road is known to eat up tires. The Michelin LTX MS tires hold up exceptionally. I drive highway miles as well as this road. I put on about 16,000 miles a year. The gravel road has a reputation for eating up tires. The Michelins have endured without any problem. I am very pleased with this product.

The best tire for our family

As a consumer I have purchased the LTX M/S tires for our families SUV's for years. They have always been very dependable, stable, good wearing and smooth tires for three different makes of SUV's. Within the next 30 days I am getting ready to purchase another set of LTX M/S tires for my pickup truck. I have never had a bad experience with this tire and find no reason to try another brand or product. As Forest Gump would have said, "quality is as quality does." Good for you Michelin.

Long Lasting Comfort

Great tires for a daily driver with the traction necessary for bad weather. Great in snow and rain - sure footed for whatever comes your way. These were original equipment on our SUV and are going strong after 45,000 miles. If they were a little more quiet they'd get 5 stars. But comfortable and sure footed overall. Great value and quality product.

I had hoped to keep my truck until I wore the tires out. My engine went first. I advised my son to try them. He did. Now he can't wear them out, and he needs to trade his SUV. They don't have the size for my new truck, so I intend to go to the LTX-MS2. They aren'yt cheap, but I don't want any other. I put Michelin on all my vehicles and haven't had a problem for years. I am alwaysn looking for a deal, so....

I have purhased several sets of the LTX/MS tires in 10 ply over the past several years. I have had trouble free use for 70000+ miles on each set. I was even able to give the used tires to someone who needed tires, but was unable to afford to purchase any, They also were able to use them for additional trouble free miles. The tires are more expensive than many other brands but I have considered it well worth the cost to feel secure with the quality of the tires.
