Bad tire

I purchased 4 of 245/60/18 TX Radial X , M+S 105H on 10. 31, 2021 for Toyota Highlander. The date today is 10/17/2023. I have driven 20548 miles since my purchase and now it just got Blow out one of my front right side while driving on the Highway I almost lost the control of the car. I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin tires. Needless to say, I could loss my live. And now I still have 3 more tires I do not feel safe to have.

Replace Goodyear Wranglers with Defenders

Defender 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.

I bought the LTX M/S for ...

I bought the LTX M/S for my 2006 Sequoia. The Speed Rating and coeffiecent of drag were most important to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride (very smooth) even over bumps (speed bumps at 30mph). I put 40,000 miles on it before I traded the vehicle in with lots of tread depth left. Never a problem less one flat from a screw.

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.

My only tires

Greeting, we purchase an 1998 F150 (new) it had its dealer tires, lasted about 50K mi. We decided.to go with Micheline tires, and never look back, the truck has 240k mi. and I'm about to get another set of them in the next 6 mo. There is our expedition (2003) it was used when we got it, with about 10K mi. Same there, Michelin's all around, it has 199k mi.

Long term LTX M/S owner

I have been buying LTX M/S versions since the early 1990s and have them on most vehicles I own. Just purchased a set today for my Explorer and noticed the difference right away from the Master Craft that were on there when I bought the truck a couple of months ago.

I have had 2 sets of ...

I have had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires, size P215/70R15 on my 2000 GMC Safari RWD van. The first set lasted more than 60,000 miles, and I was so pleased with the ride quality, even wear, traction under all conditions, and handling characteristics that I replaced them with an identical set when the tread wore to about 4/32 and the second set is just as good as the first. The van handles snow, icy roads, and rain with ease, and the vehicle rides smoother than with the original equipment Uniroyal Tiger Paws. These tires can be a little bit noisy on some types of concrete (they sing a little) but this is an uncommon occurrence, and overall they ride smooth, quiet, and secure. I will buy another set without question when the time comes. Neither the Safari or the tires show any signs of wearing out. I strongly recommend these tires for any light truck use, The outlined white letters add a touch of sportiness and set off the polished aluminum wheels nicely.

Won't ever buy anything but Michelin

This is the second set of Michelins that we have had on our Grand Cherokee. We got over 100,000 miles on the first set and just had the second set balanced and rotated at 75,000 last week. Iam thoughly convinced that Michelin produces the best automobile tires on teh market today. Consider me a Michelin customer for life.

Not sure what these other reviews are complaining about

I have used bought 2 sets of Defender LTX M/S for my 2013 Toyota Highlander and each time I have been very pleased with both the wear and performance of these tires. First set lasted around 70-80K miles and the current set has been on for ~20K miles and look barely used. These tires have lasted much better than the Bridgestone tires that originally came on the vehicle and also ride much smoother. Just got back from a road trip (8 hours there, 8 hours back) and several times literally thought to myself how pleased I was with the smoothness of the ride. I can only guess that the other reviewers with poor reviews are either fake or there is some other issue other than the tires (wheel alignment or bent rim or installation issues). I use Michelin on all of my vehicles and I have recommended Defenders to multiple of my friends based on my experience with these tires and all of them have been very pleased also.
