Best light truck tire on the market!

These tires were purchased for daily commuting in our Honda Pilot. The m/s's ride and handle better than any other light truck tire on the market. The only downside to these tires is the price. As in most other cases, you get what you pay for. I am very happy with them and will purchase another set when these need to be replaced.

I didn't get that much mileage from them...

I bought defender tires for my wife's car, and she drives like a grandma, which she is, and at 40,000 miles, they are almost gone., except for the one I had to replace, because of a flat that couldn't be repaired. I don't even want to talk about Michelin motorcycle tires with cracking sidewalls that lasted 3 years only...

Slow Grandma, we're sorry to read of your disappointing experiences. I don't see a case under your email to indicate we spoke to you regarding these issues. We hope that you will give Michelin another chance in the future.

Great Tires

Bought these tires a month ago to replace the same set. Last set had 96,000 miles on them. Definitely not much left on them so it was nice to replace. Went on three trips already with heavy rains and winds, performed great. Great ride, great traction.

Best Tires Ever Purchased

I purchased the tires when I had 46,590 miles on the SUV. I now have over 98,800 miles on the unit. There is still quite a bit of tread on the tire, I have had no problems with the tires and would definitely would purchase the same tire again. I placed them on my Lincoln MKX

The vehicle that the ...

The vehicle that the tires are used on is primarily my wife's car. She is a nurse who works the night shift (12hrs) and drives at night and in the early morning hours. My chief priorty is for her safety which I believe is provided through the great road handling abilities of the Michelin tires. In Oregon during the winter months we have a substantial amount of rain and the Michelin tires are designed to easily disperse the water off the edge of the tires. Because of this safety feature there is less likelihood of hydroplaning, especially when it is dark out and you can't see the standing water on the freeway or surface streets. Also because of this design feature, it eleminates the necessity of going to the additional expense of having the tire sipped. There was also a noticeable difference in the handling and performance of the Michelin tires. For safety, performance, and comfort you won't find a better tire in the industry. Period!

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.

MICHELIN 20'S FOR YOUR HUNNY

Bought a Chevrolet Silverado Pickup Brand Spankin New. Bought the Work Truck Edition ( AKA / Striped not Equiped) with very Little to no options. Then I transformed that normal plain Jane Truck info a SHOW TRUCK. I looked info on the Chevrolet Website regarding the Tire Sizes on the other Truck models. And decided on there Sport Truck Option Pickup. And that was a 20" Model, so I proceeded to Find and purchase the Tire and Wheel combinanation that would look good. The tires were my biggest concern. There are so many differerent tire manufactures. But, I learned from my Father as a child. You never regret buying the best, You get what you páy for. As All my other Truck Enthusiests were only concerned about the choice of Wheels first and didnt care about the choice of tire manufactures. I was concerned about both equally. As I got the attutude about the price of the tires from my friends. I had to explain to them, Yes, MICHELINS are more at the beginning but they will outlast the cheaper inferior tire brands. So to recap.............. 6 years later, My Chevrolet Silverado Pickup has 110,000 miles, the MICHELINS LTX M/S are still the original tires on that I out on the Truck at 500.miles. I get them rotated every other Oil Change at the dealer. And the tires are only half way through on the thread. So, as my other Truck friends have gone through there 3 rd or 4 th set of tires. I am still on my original ser that I Bought at 500 miles and still havethe other half thread to go. Thats better than money in the Bank. Spend a Little more at the beginning, because in the end. That Little extra you spent in the beginning saved you a lot more in the end.

great features

I have used the defender tires for years on my vehicles and love them in every way. Bought a chev pu and the tires were still good, but did not like them and had to replace with these defender tires , could not wait the other tires were loud and did not drive as nice. I will only use michelin tires. My spouse does think it makes that much difference but it does.

I have used the LTX M/S tire on my 4Runner since the first replacement set were installed. The "other" OEM tires were not worn out either. These are the smoothest, best wearing, quietest tires you can put on any SUV, period. I always recommend Michelins to my friends.
