Defenders on 2014 GMC Sierra

I needed to replace my stock Good Year Wranglers which I considered good tires at 95K. After careful research I settled on The Michelin Defender LTX M/S and they have exceeded my expectations in the first six weeks of driving. I am mostly highway with a mix of city driving averaging about 400 KM a week in northern Manitoba. The first week I had the tire we had constant wet greasy snow and for the last few weeks a mix of -30 to -10 and intermittent snow. These tires have exceeded my expectations for traction on the snow covered and slippery roads during acceleration cruise and stopping. They are quiet and provide a comfortable ride.

Best Truck Tire

I replaced the stock tires on my Dodge Ram Hemi truck at 20,000 miles with Michelin 20 inch LTX M/S due to the fact they handled so poorly when it rained. The stock tires had become quite dangerous on a wet road due to hydroplaning, failure to stop and oversteer at low speeds as if I was driving on ice. They were very easy to break traction with on a dry road as well. The tires still appeared brand new and had plenty of tread left and had always been poor performers from the time the truck was new. The new Michelin tires made me feel like I was driving a different truck and all the problems I had been encountering in wet conditions were solved. The LTX M/S performs wonderfully well on a wet road and are pretty difficult to break loose on a dry road. The handling characteristics are superb and when you consider the mileage rating, Michelins cannot be beat.

I am using on a Mercedes ...

I am using on a Mercedes ML 320 CDI This is all wheel drive and they are not wearing smooth,I think I will go to the Lattude type next. I believe I bought the wrong tire for the vechicle. I thought they were the quiest tires ever until the first rotation and then they begin to roar and wear uneven, they are good tires but I think they are more for a truck.

REALLY loud! from a Michelin fan

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

Great tires

I took advantage of the deal my local tire dealer had on Michelin LTX Defender tires for my Ford f150. The ride is very quiet and smooth. This is my 3rd set of Michelin tires and I'm about to buy another set for my wife's car. I won't buy anything else! Michelins are the best .

LTX M/S ARE GREAT

This set of tires were purchased about 5 years ago. I have driven the tires +/- 75,000 miles. They still have good tread are wearing smooth and have never had a flat tire. I have them on my GMC Yukon 1997 and am very happy with them. I highly recommend these tires to anyone under any conditions.

Wow

Read several reviews that said these tires were too noisy. So I was a little worried. This worry was dashed as I drove from the store to the freeway and stretched my legs. It was a smooth and quiet ride. A huge improvement over the previous Bridgestones. So, the hype was misleading. Very pleased.

8 Years

I purchased these tires for my FWD Honda Element in 2006. They have lasted me about 120,000 miles and 8 years. There are sometimes it was poor in snow, but I always made it through. This is a good long lasting tire. Since they longer make it in my size I now have the Latitude Tour, and will use winter tires in the winter.

Simply the best all season tires.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.

Long term LTX M/S owner

I have been buying LTX M/S versions since the early 1990s and have them on most vehicles I own. Just purchased a set today for my Explorer and noticed the difference right away from the Master Craft that were on there when I bought the truck a couple of months ago.
