I have had 2 sets of ...

I have had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires, size P215/70R15 on my 2000 GMC Safari RWD van. The first set lasted more than 60,000 miles, and I was so pleased with the ride quality, even wear, traction under all conditions, and handling characteristics that I replaced them with an identical set when the tread wore to about 4/32 and the second set is just as good as the first. The van handles snow, icy roads, and rain with ease, and the vehicle rides smoother than with the original equipment Uniroyal Tiger Paws. These tires can be a little bit noisy on some types of concrete (they sing a little) but this is an uncommon occurrence, and overall they ride smooth, quiet, and secure. I will buy another set without question when the time comes. Neither the Safari or the tires show any signs of wearing out. I strongly recommend these tires for any light truck use, The outlined white letters add a touch of sportiness and set off the polished aluminum wheels nicely.

Long Lasting

I purchased the LTX M/S for my 2500 Dodge truck and was impressed by the smooth and quiet ride along with the fuel mileage I was getting. I also maintained the tires by rotating and proper air pressure regularly which enable me to achieve 108,000 miles before replacing them. I recommend these tires for all around performance, smooth ride and good mileage.

I have used a total of 48 of these tires since 1989 on two different Dodge 3500 dually trucks,carrying a Lance camper at 5,000 pounds loaded, often towing boats from 17 to 23 feet and travelling from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Anchorage. Alaska and throughout Western 1/2 of the US without a single failure. These tires performance in a mix of heavy loads, hot highways and bad roads have given me great confidence during my widely varied travels! I will be a lifelong customer of this superb and reliable product.

Great Tires with Outstanding Road Noise Suppression & Wet Traction

Third set of the Defender LTX M/S tires on two diesel pickups used to tow approximately 15,000 # fifth wheels. They are quiet, great wet traction and decent in snow. These tires are not designed to routinely run up and down wet dirt/muddy roads, through fields or Upper Peninsula winters. Love these tires and that is why I am a repeat customer. As with any brand & model tire the vehicle must be in alignment to include the frame or there will be abnormal wear. As with any brand & model tire if the tires are not properly inflated there will be abnormal wear. Proper inflation does not mean pressuring the tire to the maximum number located on the sidewall either.

Wonderful tires

These tires are on my 3/4 ton pickup, they have wonderful traction when I am off road and when I am traveling through snow and rain. These are very long lasting tires which also have a smooth ride with minimal road noise. I will be purchasing Michelin similar tires to replace these tires in a few years.

Best Tires on the Road

I bought this set of Defender LTX M/S tires last week for my 2021 RAM 1500 Limited. As soon as I started driving the truck with the new tires I couldn’t help but notice how much smoother and quieter my ride was. Now this truck already rides like a fine luxury car but the difference these tires make is very noticeable to me. In addition to the comfort improvement you won’t find a better tire for wet traction any where. I have owned 5 sets of these tires between my wife’s 4Runners and my trucks and truly believe these are the safest and best tires you can buy especially for highway use. They last a long time too. They are not the cheapest but are the best and in the long run the best value for keeping you safe and getting long service from the tires.

Below expectations

I have owned multiple sets of Michelin LTX tires on my trucks through out the years and have always had a great service from them.. until now with the LTX Defender tires. I bought these tires to replace a very worn set of OEM BF Goodrich tires that came on my truck. After 3 separate tire shops attempts at balancing the tires I am still left with a very significant amount of vibration at speeds over 50 mph. Very disappointing to say the least!

Best Truck tire

Only tires for my Ford F-350. Best tire that provides handling, traction, mileage and apperance for my truck. Worth every penny to know that they will preform in all situation that I'll take my truck. Drove in a heavy down pour towing my fifth wheel camper with no problems at all. Looking forward to a long service life from these tire because the last set had over 60,000 on them and I have them saved for a quick spare if one of these new ones failed.

I ran these on a 2003 2500 HD Chev pickup. I got 101,000 plus miles on the first set which I put on right after I bought the truck new. Put the second set on in the spring of this year. Hope the truck lasts as long as the second set of tires. I've never gotten this kind of mileage on a tire before. My wife drives a tahoe and as soon as the factory tires wear out I'll put Michelin LTX-MS on it so she will have a safe long lasting tire on her vehicle. Its doesn't get any better than this.

My LTX M/S tires are still going

I put these tires on my truck on July 2007 when it had 45,892 miles. Today, my truck has 184,587 miles on it and I am still going strong (already 138,695 miles). This is the second set of tires I have owned on two different trucks. First truck had 127,000 miles on the tires when I sold the truck to get this truck. I am hoping to get at least 150,000 before I turn them in for new ones. Has anyone ever gone longer than 150,000 miles on a set of these tires? If so, how long?
