Cross Country and a summer in Colorado!

I purchased the Michelin’s for my Silverado used to travel to-and-from New England and Colorado. The trip is 2,100 miles each way and then we alternate between paved and gravel roads in CO. The tires give a smooth and comfortable ride traveling cross country. When in CO, they are rugged enough to provide good traction on gravel and in the mud. Yet they are versatile enough to corner beautifully on the paved mountain roads. Not my first set of Michelins; certainly not my last. In fact we have similar Michelins on our other cars.

Michelin Best & Worst Tire

I have bought the Defender LTX MS tires for 3 separate vehicles that I have owned over the last three years and folks I can tell you, this specific Michelin is nothing short of a nightmare for me and my family. If or when you do find a good set of four, the ride quality is nothing short of phenomenal, but be warned, you might have to go through 12 of these tires to find four that is not defective. The reason why I keep buying this model is the fact that when you do find a good set, they are the most comfortable and with extremely low noise, because as good as the other models of Michelin tires are, most of them are extremely noisy. I have used countless other models of Michelin tires and kind of gave up on them due the high levels of noise, but other than high noise level, they were excellent all round tires. Michelin really need to spend more time in scrutinizing their quality because which ever factory they are using to make this specific model, they are way off the mark. The vibration from the defective ones are so bad that there are times when driving down the highway that I look over at other drivers to see their reaction if they can see my vehicle shaking. Due the vibration issues, I have even been trying to find this exact model tire in the European market, so I could have them ship here to me in the USA, because I was told the Michelin tires that are made in France are of higher quality. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have this in Europe. Michelin should be ashamed to put out this poor quality tire with their name on it.

No Problems- would buy them again.

Got 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.

Great tire

I bought these tires for my 2004 Chevy Colorado. A few years ago we had a big snow storm. Thirty Three inches. I'm not saying I was on the road driving in that amount of snow, but when the town's snow plow came by and knot the show down to about one foot I was on the road. On First Aid Squad need to be on the road. Worth the money.

Great Tires

About 18 years ago I purchased my first set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Jeep Cherokee and was pleasantly surprised to find they were the best tires I ever owned. Great traction wet/dry & on/off road, quiet ride, and best of all long mileage. After purchasing a GMC Yukon I wasn't happy with the factory installed tires. They were noisy, poor traction off road and wore out quickly. After installing a set of Michelin LTX M/S I am very happy again. Based on my experience with tires I will only purchase and recommend Michelin tires.

70K Maintenance-Free Miles

Only now am I forced to replace the front tires, and that's primarily due to my AWD 4Runner's tendency to abuse the front rubber (and a September registration renewal). Rear tires have 15K+ miles of tread remaining, and this is from a guy who pays little attention to air pressures. Michelin has never disappointed me, and even though there are less expensive options, they are also cheaper in almost every respect. My next purchase will be another set of Defenders, without question.

Love my Michelins!

My Michelin's are a great performer. They hug the highway and take curves at high speed with ease. I can trek through snow and rain with confidence as tires give me traction to pull through an intersection or the bite to stop on a dime. I love, love, love my Michelin's.

Snow traction is back!

Had to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus all season tires at 28k miles. They didn’t last long. The major snowfall of the season they had me questioning my Explorer. It’s 4WD and even in the snow mode, traction wasn’t there. Braking was horrible, ABS was kicking in all the time. Felt like I was back to driving my Town Car, and even that dealt with the snow better. The Ford dealer agreed these tires were about done. Weeks later the dealer hooked me up with these tires. No more flat spots. The ride improved, quieter too. Yes I know new tires make a difference. But the old tires weren’t that old. The next snowfall was a big improvement. Traction was back, braking was confident. 1,000 miles with these tires and so far I’m sold this was a smart purchase. 6 inches of unplowed roads this morning and I felt much more confident. Driving smart of course. Cannot say how long these will last but my precious experience of these tires on a ‘99 Tahoe was favorable too. Good tires for this vehicle.

Buying Another Set!

2015 F-150 XLT SuperCab. Photos are of the tires 4 years and 80,250 miles later. Rotated them with every other oil change. They would probably go another 10,000! Driven in snow, heavy rain, construction sites, and have pulled trailers. Even wear, quiet, and great in rain and during quick braking. Buying another set this week.

Best Tires Ever

Michelin tires are the best. I only use Michelin, on all 4 of our vehicles. The LTX M/S has been on my wifes blazer and we get approximately 3 1/2 years usage out of them. They are great riding, long lasting and the best all around tire I have ever used. We will purchase them again! Thanks Michelin for giving us great and safe tires to ride on!
