exellent tires for a long time

This is the 3rd set of this set of tires that I have purchased for this truck. All of them have given me more miles that the warranty will cover and the handling and comfort have always been top notch. I originally purchased them because i was told the noise was very low. This has been true, I hear very little road noise. That's saying a lot because this truck has been driven across the country 3 times.

Poor milage wear

Tires wore faster than should have. After alittle over 30000 miles on them will need replacing. Had rotations done on timely recommended times. These were my first tire type as I always ran the Michelins A/T before on my RAM and they all lasted. I now am researching other brands also, My driving habits at my age and keeping my Truck serviced don't warrant they should be worn so quickly, so frustrated at this point. No off road driving, most just highway or in town, only 1 tire had to be replaced after about 9 months after hitting large bolt. I did like the handling and quietness.

Best Winter Tires for Western Canada

The X-Ice tires are just excellent. I've had several sets over the years living in Calgary. The winters here are no joke and these tires are super capable on both snow and ice, they wear nicely and they're super quiet. Can't say I've ever driven a better winter tire.

Good tires but I have an issue

The tires look great, seem to handle fine and tread depth looks deeper than some. (Maybe it just looks that way) Now, a couple of issues: I had them mounted on my original rims which were running the previous tires just fine. When I first start driving there is considerable vibration at 100kph for about the first 10 kilometers. Then it goes away and they are fine. I had the tire shop rebalance them and I have the same issue. They don't know why this happens so I guess I'll live with it. The second thing I should mention is that they are quite noisy on the road. (Noisier than my winter tires) I'm guessing that probably my set is just unusual as I didn't read anything about the vibration issue when I was researching the tires.

My wife bought her 2014 Ford Edge new....it now has 140,000 miles on it....and has the original Michelin Latitude tires on it....just goes to show that proper rotation intervals and weekly tire pressure checks help....will be the tire we replace with....outstanding.

Not a worthy change.

Not an upgrade for the defender ltx ms. I am very disappointed and feel I wasted money. The outer lugs are closed now which changes their capabilities. The compound doesnt hold as well in water and snow/ice. Maybe you will get more miles and on dry pavement they are decent but that isn't what these tires are supposed to be...and at such a price. I won't purchase these again and will find another brand for next tires. I bought online because I had to finance and trusted michelin to not mess up a great tire...these should have a different name...they do not act like ltx ms....not at all. Very disappointed.

My trucks original tires were Goodyear Wrangler. They were all right but these are the best I've had them before in the past. Quiet handling is far better. More durable just overall a much better tire and Canadian made maybe! I am very happy with my Michelin tires!

Early days but solid performance so far

Tires are on a 2016 F-150 King Ranch. So far they have proved to provide a "softer ride" that what they replaced. Traction under wet conditions (torrential down pour with flooded roads) has been very good, no hydroplaning. I see to be getting improved fuel mileage. Handling was a little vague. It is too early to say anything about durability.

Sucks

These Defenders LTX tires are being replaced at 30k miles vs the 60k they claim to last. Rotations every 10k miles for the life of the tire. Will not buy again. Bought new tires for a new business and a different brand. Will never buy this manufacturer again.
