Very good wet and dry traction. Great braking and roadholding and handling until the tread is literally gone. Good tread life, but not what I might have expected for the price and considering the vehicle is a midsize SUV that is driven mostly by my wife. The vehicle tended to wander more at low to medium speeds with these tires than with the previous (OEM) set, but that wasn't noticeable at highway speeds. They are very quiet and smooth for a light truck tire with an M/S rating and a rather agressive tread profile.

I have the Michelin LTX M/S on my 2008 Ford F150 and I couldn't be happier. I only have a 2wd but in the snow they grip great even on some pretty bad on and off ramps from the freeway. When its wet I never feel like I am hydroplaning and when it's nice out they grip great when you want to nail it! These tires are worth the $.

I purchased 4 Michelin Defender Tires from a local tire dealer on 6/7/17. I drove the vehicle for a few days and noticed a vibration in the steering wheel at 60 mph and higher. I originally thought there was an issue with my vehicle but I was able to have my truck looked at by my local dealership and discovered that the problem wasn't with my vehicle but with the tires themselves. My dealership explained that I had 3 tires which were out of spec during the road force balance. I'm currently awaiting my tires to be replaced but the distributor I purchased them from is dragging their feet on the process. How can 3 out of 4 tires be bad?

These LTX M/S tires gave me over 70000 miles on our RX300 - the only reason I replaced them was due to their age (over 6 years) - they still had over 3/32 tread remaining. Of course they were replaced with the same tire plus I also put a similar set (LTX M/S2) on my pickup. Simply the best.

This tire is installed today to replace the stock one. When I drove my car back home, I've got a new feeling, just like I was driving a new car. The new tire made the car feel more comfortable, like sitting on a firm-but-soft spring, very good! I am ready for the winter season for ski, will provide more updates for the highway and light snow conditions.

Michelin Defender Tires They make great affordable tires, and safety is a must on the mountain in the wintertime. Great performance, smooth riding, quiet tires, very comfortable ride. Installation was a bit pricey,I need 5 new ones on my SUV now. Yes,I recommend these tires.

Everything dealer told me they would be. Ride better than Lattitude Tours that were original, got 65k wear out of those, however these ride great, way better, very noticeable and smoother, quieter, ride like a dream! No complaints, my 5th or 6th pair of new Michelins, these are brand new line, they rock! Feel great about my decision, very happy.

I have been a lifelong Michelin customer. Recently purchased these and my highway fuel economy dropped from 19mpg to around 16.6mpg. I have these tires on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali which replaced an older set of LTX M/S2 tires that were great. These also have more road noise than the previous model of tire. I've seen reviews that provide the explanation that newer tires are more grippy so i should expect some loss of fuel economy and noise, but this is the first that i have ever experience in a tire from michelin. My previous tire, put them on and all was good, nice and quiet, with the fuel economy that i would expect.

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.

These tires are on our 2005 Class C motorhome. Although we don't put many miles on this vehicle, we have never had a problem with these tires. They are comfortable and give very good control and riding comfort. We had to drive during a period of severe winds and rain for about 5 hours, and we were amazed that we did not suffer any loss of directional stability or traction. Also, these tires appear to be resisting weather checking and any signs of aging. Tread wear is excellent.
