Best Tire Ever

I was looking for a smooth riding quiet tire for my SUV. I got that and more. comfort was a big deal and so was road noise. I drive on open road a lot and long trips. I tow a boat with my SUV. the LTX M/S looks great with it's raised white letters. handles great wet and dry roads. braking is great. I was most surprised by it's traction in snow. living in the north east thinking I would need a more aggressive tire to handle the snow. not the case. I made the rite choice. the only thing that I would say that was bad about this tire. was the little cracks around the bead of the tire as it aged . dry rot . LTX M/S A+

If it's not Michelin, I'm not interested

My son has an older model Jeep Cherokee Limited with over 150K miles. The Jeep had set of Michelin tires which we loved the ride and the durability. We visited a local retail shop and they had sold out of the Michelin for that size car. The salesman recommended several high quality tires that he had in stock as an alternative. After considering his pitch, I simply said "If it's not a Michelin, I am not interested." Interestingly the saleman replied, "I think you are right. No question, Michelin is the best tire." After some reseach, I was able to find a set, ordered them and waited a couple of day for the tires to arrive. It was absolutely worth it. We drive the Jeep in mixed conditions; rain, snow, mountain gravel roads and interstates. Thanks Michelin for making such a great product!

100,000 Miles!!!

Bought my Honda Ridgeling new with this tire on it in 2006. Bought my first set of replacements last week after putting 100,000 miles on the original set! Incredible as that may sound they could have kept going!!! South Texas can be really hard on tires but these stood up like a champ. I'm not the type of person that would write a review on a product (first time) but this was just amazing and i have to send a thanks to Michelin. You made a believer out of me.

Have been using various ...

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

MICHELIN Defender LTX M/S-- 245/55R19 Simply the best !

I installed these tires on a 2014 Lexus RX 350 because I needed exceptional performance in all weather conditions and these tires have delivered over time as I have purchased them twice on my 4Runner and were the only tires that I have used in the past 10 years. The Lexus came with the Michelin Latitude Touring HP tires and although they are great in the summer, they definitely are not meant for winter driving. I did not desire to invest in a dedicated winter tire because of the cost and inconvenience to do seasonal changeovers. But the Defender tire could be labeled as an " All Weather Tire" as it is that good in the snow.

I love this tire, I am on ...

I love this tire, I am on my third set of the LTX's. I have 378K miles on my 1998 Blazer and the last set I got over 150K miles on. These are the best long mileage tires ever. The ride and handling are outstanding. I will always use Michelin on my vehicles.

I have owned three sets ...

I have owned three sets of LTX M/S , both on a Jeep Grand Cherokee & Two Chevy Silverado's. The LTX's were so smooth and quiet on my Jeep that it felt like it had a complete new suspension. I have over 82K miles on my current set on my silverado. I will never purchase any other tire than the the Michelin LTX series for any SUV or truck I own.

Third set of awesome tires.

This is my third SUV that I have bought the Michelin LTX M/S. They give me great traction and control in the ever changing winter weather in Colorado. I also appreciate the lower amount of road noise in the summer. I have also found that they get better mileage than listed if your driving is non-aggressive. Whenever I go off road for fishing or camping I never worry about road or vehicle control. I always recommend these tires to all my friends that have trucks or SUV's.

Good looking tire not quality

They look very sharp and clean looking on my truck bought they don’t hold up that long. I bought a set of these brand new for my 2005 Chevy Silverado Duramax made it about 30,000 miles before I had to get new tires because they wore out so much. They were less than a year old.

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?
