My previous set of tires were Michelin. They were rated for 70,000 miles and I got 90,000 miles out of them. I only replaced them because I was driving and pulling a trailer from Milwaukee to Detroit, and winter is coming. I probably had another 10,000+ miles on them.

Been riding on Michelin LTX MS and MS2 tires for over 30 years. Love the deep tread and handling. Whether I'm driving my 03 Suburban, 04 Jeep , or my 05 RV with 22.5 XZE and now XZE2 highway tires they all handle well in all types of weather including snow and ice. Even the XZE's handle well in a foot of snow and I really appreciate the high scrub sidewalls. Keep up the good work. Thank you.

When I purchased my new SUV I complained about the ride all the time. I think they put the cheapest tires they could find on at the factory. When I only got 20,000 miles on them and they needed replaced, my first choice was Michelin. The ride improved 100%! I have purchased them in the past and have always been satisfied.

I am on my third set of Michelin tires on my 1996 Ford Explorer that I drive daily to work. My Wife is on the second set on her 2004 Expedition. These tires changed the ride and handling tremendously. Neither vehicle has a rough ride, one has almost 300,000 miles on it, 275,000 on Michelins, the other almost 96,000 miles. I haven't used another brand since 1998.

i bought these for wifes cadillac xt5 with 235/55/20's about 1000 miles on them, they seem louder, stiffer, than the Michelin Premiers that came with the vehicle??? are they desinged for larger vehicles or something? i have about a week left to exchange them for a different tire they seem to be a great tire but maybe for larger vehicles???

This tire has worn out at 33,000 miles for the 2nd time. I'm tired of getting a 2nd set at a reduced price. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles so it is not my fault. Disappointed in a company I thought made a decent tires. Thinking about looking elsewhere!

This tire has proven itself to me on the roads of the Southeast, and I can strongly recommend this tire for your own Light Truck/ SUV! I have driven the previous set for 141,000 miles before recently changing the set of four. I have no reservations in saying that this is the only tire I will own. Stopping distances are less, as well as curve stability are only two of the benefits you can expect from these tires!

I've had these tires for a couple of months now. The wet and dry handling and braking are excellent, similar to that of the Michelin Premier LTXs that were on the car previously. I hear a slight bit more road noise, and I feel more road imperfections with these Defenders than with the Premiers. But I believe that's because these Defenders have a more aggressive tread design and a longer-wearing (firmer) tread compound than the Premiers. That should mean that the Defenders will have better performance in the snow, and they should last longer; two traits I look forward to experiencing.

The 245 75 r 16 Michelin LTX is the best LT truck tire,you can buy,its the safest,best riding,fuel mileage,tire made,I have never had a belt sepration or even heard of one on a michelin LTX because michelin wrote the book on the steelbelted radial tire recipe! I personal have 160,000 miles on a set, of 245 75r16 and they still have safe tire tread left.

This is by far the best tire I have purchased. I work for a contractor and started putting the LTX/MS on our company trucks and I like them so much I put them on my personal truck. They are quiet on the road and aggressive enough for me when off road and hunting.
