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.

Have 60,000 miles on set of Michelin tires on heavy Diesel pick up and going strong. While pricing out new set was advised that have a good 15,000 left on tread. Has been mostly highway miles but towing RV trailer for half of it. Good handling and traction for highway tread. Fourth set of Michelins and will buy again.....

I drive a Ford F250 diesel to Mexico and back each year pulling a 10,000 lb trailer so tires are important. I am into my third set of Defenders which realistically last about 75,000 km before tread wear begins to be an issue for long distance travel. Of the 15,000 km per year I drive the truck, half of it is pulling a trailer. I choose these tires not only because Ford recommends them but also because they give me very good fuel economy even pulling a trailer (17 L/km pulling and 8 L/km not pulling).

After 15 years of "Michelin only", thinking I should be more frugal, I ran through two sets of a competitor's brand, never coming close to Michelin's performance or longevity! Before leaving for our summer vacation '10, I put a full set on our all-wheel drive SUV, and the difference was AMAZING ... driving was a pleasure, like a million little fingers were gripping the road as we drove cross-country through Virginia's scenic highways ... the ride was far more comforatble, and fuel economy actually increased! My earlier Michelin sets had always had good tread up to the milage forecast ... not so with "brands X" ... I'm so glad to be back in safe hands ... clearly, my Michelin tires are still the best investment I can make for my family's transportation.

Have bought Michelin tires for every car I owned. I bought these tires last week and drove on a short highway trip 3 days later. Horrible vibrations and they ride like a mack truck on constant potholes. The ride beat me to death and could not wait to get out of the vehicle. Loved my vehicle until I put these tires on the auto and regret this purchase already.

These are my favorite SUV tires and have bought two sets. They are on my 1998 4 wheel drive Blazer and like my last set, are wearing like iron! They still have lots of tread left even after 40,000 miles, and never hydroplanes in heavy rain. Mileage also improved over the set previously on it, and you can"t beat the traction. They took very little weight to initially balance, and are still smooth. Well worth the cost.

I drive back and forth to my home in northeast Ohio to my Condo in North Carolina. My Michelin LTX M/S tires give me a smooth and quiet ride on highways and the security of being able to handle any rain or snowy conditions on the roads. Great tires…great price..

I bought these tires in 2005 and still have them on my vehicle. They have been very good. They do great in the snow, rain, and mud. They have been used on a vehicle that takes me to work everyday. I will be purchasing new tires again in the near future and plan on buying the same tires again.

I had the original Michelin LTX MS and now have about 500 miles on the new Defender LTX MS. I think Michelin really got it right with the whole design of this tire. The original LTX is a great beloved tire. It provides good all season traction, a smooth quiet ride and decent tread life. I see the difference to the LTX MS2 and the Defender LTX I am driving is mostly in the outer shoulder block tread design. Its not open so water and slush can evacuate more easily. I like this idea. So far I love the new Defender. My only advice to Michelin and keep a decent tread depth on your tires. For an SUV or truck 11/32 should be the minimum.

My 2008 Honda Ridgeline came with these tires as original equipment. At 68,000 miles they still had tread that would pass inspection but I knew that coming into winter I better start looking to replace. I was thinking I may try a cheaper brand and save some bucks so I shopped around. I finally came to my senses and replaced with the OE LTX tires. After doing the math, I would likely not get the same miles or quality ride out of cheap tires. If I got 68,000 miles out of the first set I hope I get 75,000 out of the second set. Cost per mile works out to be less with the Michelins. Truck rides like new again and I can confidently travel the Pennsylvania winters with no worries.
