Great all around tire.

I’ve had these tires for 10,000 miles now. I commute daily 40 miles and use my truck for construction as my side business. I’ve had well over 14k with trailer and equipment for on these tires for well over 2000 of those miles and these tires have shown little to no wear. Obviously, they don’t have the aggressive tread of other tires but I have gotten around muddy and clay job sites fine. I always use my truck around our farm daily and haven’t gotten stuck in my pastures. After running over 20 different brands and treads of tires these are the best of all worlds for highway, work, and farm chores. If you’re feeding cows daily in heavy mud I would get a mud terrain tire as my other truck that never hits the highway has, but these are good on your primary rig. Highway driving us superior with the Michelins. Minor, ever so slight noise at higher speeds, but infinitely quieter than any AT I have ever ran. I would go rock crawling with these tires, but great for daily use. I bought 10 ply.

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.

Worst tires I have owned

I purchase these at the recommendation of the local tire shop. Shortly after installation I drove a few hundred miles mostly on the highway and there was significant vibration at speeds of 65-75 mph. This made for a miserable trip. I immediately went back to have them rebalanced again when I returned home. This did not make the ride any better so they attempted a third balancing and the ride is now worse. Additionally, if I don’t drive for a few days the tires get out of round and then there is significant vibration at slow speeds until they warm up. I never had these problems with the previous two sets of tires which were also much cheaper. These are the worst tires I have ever purchased.

Second Try with Michelin

I purchased the predecessor (Non Defender) LTX M/S tires about 2.5 years ago. Warranty was for 70,000 miles but I only made it to 47,000 miles and was at or below the wear bars. Tires were rotated and balanced every 7500 miles. I did get credit back for the shortfall in mileage and now have the Defender tires on my truck. Hopefully this time they will make it to the 70K. Pretty disappointed in the fact that my first set of Michelin's did so poorly. Truck is just a daily driver not used for work. Tires performed well but 47K is not even close to the warranty.

Great tires

I've used these tires on my wife's SUV and my old truck. They're the best tires I've ever bought for heavier vehicles. The tires on my wife's SUV are almost 2 years old and still look like new. I would have traded the truck tires from my old truck to my newer one if they would have fit.

One Heck of a Tire!

This is the second vehicle that I have used Michelin Tires on and I trust them and feel secure with them on my vehicle. My home is in the woods, with horrible road conditions in the winter and spring, and I have to have a tire that I know won't let me down. I love how they ride even on the highway when I go see my grandchildren. I know, and feel very confident that I have a tire that is dependable and will hold up to my roads! I live on a fixed income and when I buy these tires I know that I am getting the best for my money! I highly recommend these tires to everyone.

I would highly recommend Michelin tires

I purchase Michelin tires exclusively. I can't think of a better brand of tires for my vehicles. I purchased these LTX series of tires as a replacement for the cross terrains that you no longer make. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent ride and handling of the LTX tires. I'm looking forward to many years and thousands of miles of enjoyment from these tires. Like other Michelin tires I have owned I do not anticipate a problem. I would highly recommend the LTX series tires to anyone who owns a large SUV

I have this tire on both ...

I have this tire on both of my trucks (10 tires between them and I'm not counting spares!) I get excellent wear, as a matter of fact, the last set that I used up got over 100,000 miles on them. The set before that I replaced prematurely at 90,000 miles. Both sets still had street legal tread depth. The tires offer a good, smooth ride that is quiet. I have never had any slipping during wet cornering. All these reasons contribute to the fact that ALL three of my vehicles have Michelins!

I have almost 60,000 ...

I have almost 60,000 miles on these tires. Tread depth shows they should be good for another 15,000 miles. Vehicle is a Ford f-350 crewcab with powerstroke diesel. Very good tread wear for this heavy vehicle. Wet traction is excellent, and winter/snow is very good. I often recommend the LTX M/S to individuals looking for a good all around tire. (LTX M/S 2 is latest edition of this tire and is supposed to have even more of all the things I like about this tire. That WILL BE the next set of tires put on my truck!).

Probably the best tire ...

Probably the best tire out there. I live on a dirt road which becomes a mud road when it rains and snows. No problems getting through when conditions are rough. This tire beats them all for mileage ratings. Smooth on passenger cars and durable on SUV's. Don't change this one at all! I would like to see this tire in more sizes.
