First accumulating snow in Michigan 2013. From the trip in, to the trip home with new tires; these new LTX m/s made a world of a difference. The sure grip was very noticeable. No where near the slip and slide at stopping or acceleration. Good choice of tires on my Explorer.

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.

I bought these tires for my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. These are by far the best tires I have ever owned. They are a 5 star in every category. They ride like a dream and are super smooth and quiet. The traction in the rain is phenomenal. Absolutely no hydroplaning. They grip the road and don't budge no matter how wet the road is. I am more than anxious for the snow so I can see how they handle in snow. I average 75 - 80 mph and they just glide. No bumpy ride and definitely not noisy. I love these tires! Worth every penny!

End of tire thread's review ! After 20 months on our 2010 Chevy Suburban service vehicle and 135000 miles of New England Driving conditions these definitely are the best tires we ever had on vehicle. ( lots of Highway driving some occasional dirt roads ) Rotated as recommended and kept correct PSI. These tires IMO are the best !!!!

Needed new tires for my 2018 Honda CR-V and wanted to improve the ride quality. These tires nailed it! Much improved in both the ride handling, smoothness, and lower road noise inside the vehicle. Also simply feels more sure-footed in the rain. Looking forward to seeing a difference in winter snow.

Recommend by a coworker who has them. I'm very happy with my purchase, smooth ride, excellent grip and they supposedly last many miles. Just drove them on our first Wisconsin slippery winter conditions for the season and my new Michelin Defenders handled it great.

I have been running these tires on my trucks for years. Very quiet, long wearing and handling. However I have noticed the tires dry rot much quicker than years past. My mechanic will no longer pay the Michelin premium prices because they dry rot much sooner than they wear out. Other than that these are great tires

Been traveling 12 states for 27 years. LTX radials are the only tire for me and my family. When it comes to comfort, handling and overall security your vehicle is only as good as the rubber that meets the road. I have taken all of my new cars straight to the Michelin dealer to have oe tires replaced with LTX. "Theres no ride like the Michelin Ride"

This LTX M/S tire is on my Explorer that is driven daily. I have had several vehicles without Michelin tires and other tires Do Not have the comfortable ride that the Michelin's do. The ride is smooth, quiet, and long lasting tread when tires are maintenance regularly,( inflation, rotation, ect. ) The only negative thing I can say is I wish I could get double the mileage out of the Michelin, as right now I am pushing well over 70,000 miles on this set of MTX M/S.

I have had 5+ sets of these on 2 different suburbans, 1) f150 std cab longbox, 1) Chevrolet dually cab-chassis with dump and snow-plow, and now on my '14 Superduty Kingranch. If my continued patronage of this specific tire doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what..I am in Wisconsin, and snow and ice traction are important. These tires are excellent in snow and ice, without quick wear like a winter tire 80k/set. Ride comfort is outstanding. I replaced the Michelin AT tires with these on the superduty, and they are 10 times better for traction and comfort. If you are wondering if these tires are worth the extra money, they absolutely are!
