- 5 out of 5 stars review5/30/2021Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.
Wow
DvillanOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 2 out of 5 stars review9/5/2015Don't know how,don't know why....but I can't get these tires to last. I've used nothing but since buying my Ridgeline in 2006. Seems right after I get a new tire, it finds a new nail. My wife and I both travel the same roads ( we work at same place just different shifts ) different brand,no problems

Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/8/2013We have been in business since 1933 and have used Michelin tires on our business vehicle since 1960 as well as a our personal vehicles. They have always exceeded our expectations regarding longevity, superior quality and excellent ride. Riding down the highway, little or no "tire noise". We carry a large amount of weight hauling our product. Michelin tires handle well with the load while still providing a smooth ride and safe braking.

LambOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013We do a lot of traveling on the road as a family. I also uae my suv for work. Ibought the tires three years ago and the tread has really held up to the demands I have put on them. I feel I have really made an investment buy buying these tires as I have about 50, 000 miles on them and they still perform like they did when I first bought them. There is nothing negative to say about these tires and I will buy them again in the future. Thanks Michelin!!!
Durable tires!
Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/9/2013Have you had tires that did not last? Have you paid for tires that did not perform? Have you heard from a salesperson that told you how great a tire was and find out that the quality was below standard. Forturnate I experiance all of these early in life and fortuantely I bought my first Michelin tire also early in my life. I have bought only Michelin tires since I was 21 and I am 64 now. With the proper care (inflation, rotation, etc.) these tires on the average have lasted longer than the advertised rating and their tread life has been execeptional. Quality control is also outstanding as I have never had to return a tire for any type of blemish or related problem which is very important from a safety point of view. I am a long time owner o...

Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 4 out of 5 stars review11/12/2010I bought the LTX M/S for my 2006 Sequoia. The Speed Rating and coeffiecent of drag were most important to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride (very smooth) even over bumps (speed bumps at 30mph). I put 40,000 miles on it before I traded the vehicle in with lots of tread depth left. Never a problem less one flat from a screw.

TXPI007Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/12/2010vehicle is a 4 wheel drive 2500HD with the 8.1 engine. The original tires lasted 50,000 miles. I experienced one flat tire from a nail when the tires were new. At 50,000 miles, I asked for Michelin LTX. This was a good choice. The Michelins were driven for 110,000 miles will no problems. The tires had finally worn to the wear indicators when I discovered a 1/2" screw sticking in the tire. I removed the screw, but there was no leak. I believe I could have driven another 10,000 miles before I would have been into the wear indicators. I have never had another set to tires to match the performance of the Michelins. The tires always drove straight and worn evenly. I am very pleased with this brand and these are the reasons I purchased another se...

bluemowerOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013We own 3 vehicles (1 truck & 2 SUV's) & use the Michelin LTX M/S on all of them. We rotate them every 6,000 - 8,000 miles & have always gotten many more miles out of them than is listed. The LTX M/S is outstanding in the snow! We live in a rural area with lots of hills & curves. My husband's job requires him to be on the road before snow plows ever clear our back roads & he loves the traction they provide. Very smooth ride too!
Excellent Tire!

Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 4 out of 5 stars review9/7/2012Simply put, the ride is exceptional, great performance, tracking, steering road conditions, tire treadlife. Only downfall is the white outline tires. The way your bonding process is? ( i WAS TOLD THIS BY YOUR REPRESENTATIVE(S) SEE ANY HISTORY, warranty adjustments/ claims...). Had sidewall cracking. Not sure if this could pose a danger, did not want to take that chance. Hoping you would solve this issue, I PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR SIDELINES B.F. GOODRICH, hoping by the time I had to replace them and come back to these tires, this problem would be solved. Currently watching this...

The day before, on my way home from work, the snow was coming down hard and I was headed for a 250 foot elevation hill climb. About halfway up, and around the bend, cars were in the ditch and blocking the road. I had to come to a complete stop on the steep incline. Whew, I didn't slide back down the hill. I put it in four-wheel-drive low expecting some slippage as I started moving again. Surprisingly no slippage whatsoever! I slalomed around the cars and pulled a couple out of the ditch and one up the hill to safety. Without a doubt I would purchase Michelin mud and snow tires again for my four-wheel-drive vehicle.
Amazing snow grip!
SteevansOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review12/18/2018I recently put these on my 2015 Grand Cherokee and so far, they are great. Prior to these, I had the Latitude Tours, which I loved. These have a more aggressive looking tread pattern, and initially, I was a bit concerned they would have increased road noise, or compromise the comfort of the ride, but I have to say I am impressed - they are as good in those respects as the Latitude. These appear to be a more capable tire in snow and mud and I am looking forward to taking them through a Minnesota Winter. Recommmended!
Quiet, comfortable and capable tire
TChrisOriginally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer CareThanks for the awesome review TChris. Michelin customers ROCK! - 5 out of 5 stars review11/12/2010The tires I have on my GMC 2500 Suburban are LTX265/75R16.There is only one brand at the top... Michelin! They have over 40,000 miles and have over the original tread remaining. It seems that they are the only manufacturer of tires capable of making a tire suitable for the weight and payload of any vehicle without compromising performance and wear. I have experienced this over the past 35 years time and time again. Kudos to the engineers at Michelin.

Richie3Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/5/2019My mom is and over the road truck driver delivering camper trailers all over the country. Her 2008 Silverado 3500HD has nearly 550,000 miles on it. She is on her third set of Michelin - Michelin Defender LTX M/S. 3 Sets of 6 tires per set(18 tires) none of them have ever blown out. The least amount of miles she has gotten out of a set is 103,000 miles the most was 120,000 miles on the last set. These things perform and are well worth the investment.
These are the best tires for the money!!!
jl12122000Originally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer CareThanks for the awesome review, jl12122000! Michelin customers ROCK! - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013In over 55 years of driving, I have owned at least 25 cars. I have driven in tough road conditions, but was never as confident as I am now with the LTX M/S Michelins on my 4-Runner. The road noise is very low, the ride is smooth, and my gas mileage went up by 2 mpg, or 10%! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these tires to anyone.
Gas Mileage Increased
Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/15/2010Bought a used Nissan 4X4 pickup, the tires were worn but I thought I could get a few more miles on them. Then I picked up a nail in the sidewall on one, and went looking for a replacement. Being a Saturday, some tire dealers were closed, go figure, so I stopped at place I don't normally shop. They had a set of 4 Michelin LTX M/S tires, just the right size and offered a good price, so I said why not? They improved the looks of the truck right away, and as I pulled away from the shop, I could not believe how mush better they made the truck ride. Later, we had some of the worst snow we've had for some time. In 4 wheel drive, those tires were unstoppable, they just kept on digging. Will I buy more Michelins, you better believe it!

donniedrpOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review6/24/2011OK, I had michelins on my honda accord years ago and remembered how good they were and how long they lasted (had 110K miles on them when I sold it). So when my 2003 Escape needed replacements for the tires that came on it at 60K miles, I went with the Michelins. Now six years and over 170K miles later I am ready for a new set (or maybe a new vehicle, since the odometer is near 240K). I am very pleased with Michelins. They last forever! The guy at the tire store said I could probably get 5-10K more out of them since I actually still have good tread but am seeing some dry rot - they are getting old. Great tires Michelin!
Couldn't ask for more
luvmymichelinsOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/12/2010The LTX M/S tires are long wearing and more importantly, they retain their wet and snow traction until the very end. Unlike other tires that may have good and dependable traction for the first year, LTX M/S retain their positive traction for stopping, fast starts and cornering.

kalwakOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/21/2015Purchased a set of Defender LTX M/S tires for our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. Could not be happier! Smooth quiet ride, with very good handling. Recently traveled about 1400 miles over varying types of road surfaces and mountain driving. Felt a lot more comfortable coming down the steep and winding mountain roads that we have traveled many times so very familiar with those roads. Nice looking tires as well. Have not tried rain or snow yet so only rating performance based on dry roads.
Great tires! Very happy with the purchase.
bobcat66Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review3/6/2023In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet wi...
Most Amazing Tire Ever!
