- 5 out of 5 stars review6/16/2023I won't buy any other tires. The Michelins that I replaced on my GMC Sierra truck had 101,000 miles and had plenty of tread remaining. The new Michelins are amazing and the ride is even better than before with the 3 year old set. I'm a Michelin tire fan for life. Getting ready to put a new set on my GMC Yukon XL.
Most dependable tires on the market.
BoBo from Bowling GreenOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013These tires are on a 4x4 pickup truck. I haul a large John Deere mower on a trailer 120 miles each way three times a month. These tires are just great in all types of weather. I do rotate them about every 6 to 8 thousand miles. I will continue to buy Michelin tires on all of my vehicles!!
Great Tires
charrell101Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review9/14/2022I just returned from a trip in my Ford F150 from Strathroy Canada to Dallas Texas towing a 7000# trailer and I am more than happy with the control I felt from these tires. Each truck I have bought came with different tires, but when the trucks needed new tires, they were always Michelin.
Best driving characteristics; best value
Boat2rvOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review10/19/2022My new truck came with Michelin tires when I bought it.. I was impressed by how long they lasted (almost 72000 miles. I probably could have gone more miles but decided with the traveling I do it was time. These tires are definitely "tread worthy" and that is why I just bought another set.
Great Tires!
TexOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/11/2013I have been utilizing the Michelin LTX MS tire on my 2002 LX470 for the last 11 years. I have 136,000 miles on the vehicle and am on my second set of tires, which still have good tread on them. I use the vehicle for just about everything, from going camping, to the beach and running around town on errands. The vehicle has constant all wheel drive, so I expected the tires to not have as much life, clearly this is not the case. I currently am in the process of procuring a new set of these, not because of the tread or sidewall appearance, but due to the number of years and miles they have on them,(over 66,000) I feel it is time from a safety standpoint. Aside from longevity, they handle exceptionally well,especially for a vehicle of this size ...
The best tires I have ever owned
TacoTomOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review7/9/2020Just replaced Yokohama tires with 64,000 on tires, dealers mentioned that they no longer carry them so he suggested the Michelins Defender LTX MS for my suburban. Now let's see how they perform on the highway, pulling cars to shows in this desert climate. Looks nice brings back that OEM look to the unit. Now had a fair experience with prior warranty on tread life, let's see how this round goes..
New tires, let's roll..
El GatoOriginally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer CareThanks for taking the time to submit a review, El Gato, and thanks for your business. - 4 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013I have been running these tires on my trucks for years. Very quiet, long wearing and handling. However I have noticed the tires dry rot much quicker than years past. My mechanic will no longer pay the Michelin premium prices because they dry rot much sooner than they wear out. Other than that these are great tires
1 ton dually tires
campingdudeOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/4/2022Our Ford Edge is six years old with 40,000 miles and I recently replaced the original equipment Michelin tires with Michelin Defender XLT tires. They have a good looking profile and preform well on wet roads. I am confident as I face the oncoming Winter.
Happy with my new tires.
DHDMDOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/8/2013We 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.
Safety for the long haul
indychevyman2Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013I bought these tires and regulary aired and rotated them per the manufactures recomendations. The tires exceeded the waranty by 14,000 miles. I will never by another tire. The tires are quite on the roads and highways and grip well in all weather. I am now on my second set and they are performing well. I own a 3/4 ton pickup and regularly tow and haul heavy loads. Michelin knows tires and they have a customer for life. Keep up the good work Michelin.
Exceeded the warranty!!!
captian2Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review7/10/2020These are the best all season tires I've owned! have had them on my F150 for 2 years now and still have plenty of tread - Amazing traction in the Colorado snow/ice! I also tow a trailer and they are sturdy built tires! I don't understand how anyone can complain of these being a noisy tire in the reviews that I read. They are an extremely quite and comfortable ride even at 80psi when towing (275/70/18 E 10ply tires) Would buy them again!
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT TIRE !!!
JosephOriginally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer CareSo glad to hear of your great experience with Defender LTX tires, Joseph! - 5 out of 5 stars review8/14/2013I bought these tires in 2005 and still have them on my vehicle. They have been very good. They do great in the snow, rain, and mud. They have been used on a vehicle that takes me to work everyday. I will be purchasing new tires again in the near future and plan on buying the same tires again.
Best tire I've ever had on my vehicle.
LadyVolOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013Got these tires as a replacement for the Michelin ones that were on my car when I purchased it new. The main reason for purchasing them was because of the lack of problems I had with the original set. I had 90,000 miles on the original set when replaced and am confident I can go another 90,000 miles on this new set.
No Problems- would buy them again.
SprayQueenOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 2 out of 5 stars review7/31/2025This is 2nd set of Michelin tires. The first set whined loudly and didn't have a sure flat fit on the road. (I did drive 800ish miles, did not improve) The warranty put a second set on. The second set rides better but they still whine. I would think for the price of Michelin tires now, that I could get a decent set. I got 55,000+ miles on the previous set I put on my Chevy trailblazer in 2010, And they were half the cost
Big Decrease in Quality
jb57Originally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer Care MIC USWe appreciate the feedback that you have provided regarding your experience with Defender LTX M/S tires. You expressed that ... - 5 out of 5 stars review11/16/2021I am extremely happy with the purchase of these tires. I have a 2wd Sierra 1500 crew cab and had Goodyear wranglers prior. These Michelins are nice and tall and have a great sidewall look. The highway tread pattern looks great and had performed better. The tires are quiet on the highway and feel sturdy overall maybe slightly harder than I was used to however the beef inspires confidence when towing our 4,500 lb. camper as there is no wallow and the generally feels more capable. I would definitely purchase again.
Extremely Solid Choice
Okra CandyOriginally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review8/21/2020Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.
Replace Goodyear Wranglers with Defenders
RayOriginally posted onmichelinman.comConsumer CareThanks for sharing the love, Ray! - 5 out of 5 stars review5/18/2014Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.
Pleasantly Surprised
Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 3 out of 5 stars review12/8/2019Have had these tires for 6 years now on a 2002 Nissan Xterra. Got them for the mileage warranty and the supposed superior traction. These tires have about 30,000 miles on them and only have 4/32nds left of tread. Definitely did not make the 70,000 miles. They never got any flats though. They have been decent tires in wet weather and snow, but nowhere near dedicated snow tires. They were fairly quiet brand new, but got much louder as they wore down. After 6 years and being on a car that is outside almost all the time, they have developed a good amount of age cracking which is expected from really any tire that sits out in the sun, rain, heat, and cold like they do. For the price of the tire, though, you can get other tires that are nearly th...
Pretty disappointing tire

Pl... - 5 out of 5 stars review8/13/2013I have been a Michelin customer for abouty twenty years now. I use them on my cars as well as my work trucks. The Michelin LTX M/S tire has been a real winner for me. Not only do I get excellant mileage but this tire is truely an all weather tire. I love the traction quality in snow and even on ice! This is my go to tire on all my trucks!
Michelin LTX M/S
Originally posted onmichelinman.com - 5 out of 5 stars review11/24/2019I have put about 30,000 miles on Defender LTX M/S in all weather and they handle very well on my Honda Pilot. Stop wining about noise! These are noisier than passenger rated tires as these tires are light truck/crossover tires and are able to handle higher weights and loads. I run them about 4 lbs higher pressure than the SUV door sticker for higher vehicle load per the Michelin spec.
Dependable LT/crossover tire
