Michelin is King

I have been an RV enthusiast for many years. Over time, I have tried several brands of tires for my GMC 2500HD tow vehicle. I am now on my third set of Michelins. I have found Michelin tires carry the heavy load of my 5th wheel trailer extremely well. Handling is excellent and road noise is the lowest I have found in a mud and snow type tire. Michelins give me a sense of safety because they have proven to be trouble free over the life of the tire. I use Michelins on all of my vehicles including heavy duty tires with highway tread for my 5th wheel. My only complaint might be that I do not get quite the mileage for tread wear that is advertised. I'm sure this is partly because of the heavy load I carry. The rear tires wear fastest so rotations must be performed regularly. I usually buy new tires when the tread depth is about 4/32nd of an inch and that is about 45,000 miles. I've never found a tire that comes close to Michelin performance and always recommend them to family and friends.

Best tires yet

Can't complain one bit. My 2009 Ridgeline came with the LTX/MS tires and I'm just creasing 55,000 miles. They show little wear. Rotation and pressure are key to long life as well as sane driving habits. They have a smooth ride and great handling under load. I have Michellins installed on all my cars and wouldn't put any other tire brand on them. Good job Michellin!

I love this tire

This is the second set of LTX M/S tires we've owned. The first set lasted 105,000 miles and were replaced due to age not tire wear. After 105, 000 miles they still rode as smooth and performed flawlessly. The 2nd set is living up to the same expectations.

I've used Michelin tires ...

I've used Michelin tires on most of my vehicles over quite a few years (1st was a 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado). I've been using the LTX M/S on all my SUV's since 1989. The one thing that sets these tires apart from others of similar design is the tread life. There really nothing I didn't like about this tire. Good in snow and good in wet conditions. Quiet on the highway. In fact, I have recommended this tire to several of my relatives and friends.

Will never buy a different tire!

I got these in 2018, they've been through 6 seasons now. I'll never buy another tire; these are amazing. We have seriously hot summers and seriously cold winters here in the Badlands; temperatures go from +110 to -40. The Defenders haven't even blinked. Snow, ice, off-road, deep mud, highway; they're a great ride with great traction. They're not the quietest tire; then again, if you want a serious all-season tire and tread, noise is something you learn to live with. Quiet tires can't grip for anything. I'm sorry so many others have had issues; these tires have never let me down. I'm hoping they'll still be this good when I need another set.

Long tread life and great traction

Have had these Michelins for about 2 years and they have performed very, very well. They ride smooth and quiet. They are wearing very well and still have a lot of tread on them. The wet weather grip is excellent, a big plus for me. A lot of tires may grip well in dry weather. The tire that grips well in wet conditions is the one I need, and the Michelins come through like the true winner they are when the conditions are nasty outside. The handling is very good too. I would definitely buy another set of these. I recommended them to my son and he put a set on his vehicle. He is very pleased with them as well. A great all around tire.

Significant improvement

These replaced OE Goodyear RS-A’s. One of the Goodyear’s suffered a belt separation and complete failure while towing. The Defender’s have a more comfortable ride and better traction, particularly in the rain. This Michelin was a significant upgrade.

These are the best tire made

These are the best tires made. I bought 4 LTX/MS in 2006 for my Xterra. I just notice today that I will have to replace them within the next 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I pulled the paperwork and they were installed @ 223,000 miles. I now have 385,000 miles. Do the math folks, Yup, 162,000 + mile and riding like new still. AWESOME. See what routine rotating and air pressure checks will do for you. And yup I can back it up with detailed paperwork. Only wish I could afford to buy these again. This kinda sounds like a commercial.

You get what you pay for.

The absolute best tire on the market in my opinion. I have always been a fan. Like many other drivers I have tried other brands when deals seemed to good to pass up, however, I have always returned to Michelin. The old saying, "you get what you pay for", is very true and aptly applies. These tires have the best ride and are extremely dependable. They will always be my first choice when new tires are needed.
