Reliable, Serviceable Tires

Bought a set of these tires 8 years ago for my truck camper. Great wearing tires drove across Canada, among other trips. This year bought another set, drove up the Dempster highway (gravel and mud all the way) to Tuktoyaktuk and back with no tire problems. Would recommend these good 10 -ply tires.

Great tire!

These tires are excellent and I simply can't say enough to express how impressed I have been with them. They were the original tires on my 2009 Honda Ridgeline when I bought it, and at a little over 106,000 miles I have just replaced them with a brand new set of four. When the technicians removed the old tires they had worn very evenly and I probably could have gotten another few hundred miles out of them before they really needed to be changed. When I bought my truck I had a job that had me driving all over the state of Minnesota in all seasons including a very harsh winter. The tires never failed me in snow, on ice, in rain nor on hundreds upon hundreds of highway and back road driving. The ride on them is also very smooth; I can't count how many people have told me that my Ridgeline rides like a sedan. Overall, these are excellent tires that I would recommend to anyone. I just put a brand new set on my truck and am looking forward to another 100,000 miles!

Quality Tires

Michelin Tires provide a smooth ride as well as wear at least as good as the mileage warranty. I purchase Michelin for all my cars after the original equipment tires wear out and they are usually the last tire I need. With the price of mounting and balancing tires today why would you want to run a cheap tire and pay this over and over again. I have never had a problem with any Michelin tires I have ever owned!

I purchased four new LTX M/S tires for our 2003 Honda Pilot in June 2005 to replace the OEM tires after a noisy 48,846 miles. I checked the mileage this morning before writing this review: 158,001 miles, and the tread is still well above the wear bars! Great tires!

Best tires I have ever ...

Best tires I have ever had installed on any of my vehicles. The original tires were replaced at 19k by the local Ford dealer and were rotated every other oil cahang. I have 94k on my 2005 Ford Explorer which is used in all weather. I live in the mountains of western PA. The tire wear was incredable. I know if winter wasn't coming I could easly get a few more months out of them. I am planning on buying a new set soon...yes they will be Michelins

Best tires I've ever had

i bought 2 245/65 17 Defender M/S tires to replace the ones i had on my pickup. I had at least 70,000 miles on the old ones. With the new Defenders my ride has been excellent and I expect the wear will be the same as the old ones. Alignment has been completed regularly and rotated ever 5000 miles.

great tire - would buy again

I've got 37 thousand miles on mine and plenty of tread left. The around town miles are pretty easy, but each weekend these tires see at least a hundred miles of Idaho back country dirt roads in the summer and plenty of snowy trips to the ski hill in the winter. A good bit of that is in 4WD, in places where you want the security of a high quality tire.

Great Tires, time will tell

I've had this tread pattern on several vehicles, and the tires outlast my interest in the vehicle. When trading the vehicle, the tires are a selling point. In this case ( Oct 26 2017) I've removed the factory installed Latitude TourHP from my new 2017 RAV4 Hybrid XLE ( quiet, smooth, appear to be low rolling resistance, but do not appear to be well suited for winter or rainy near freezing weather, despite "M+S" inscription on sidewall) , and replaced with these Defender LTX M&S as an all weather tire. They are great so far, but I get the impression they do not roll as effortlessly as the Latitude Tours. Perhaps they need to be "broken in"?

Great Tire

I have had several sets of Michelins over the years and they have all been good tires, but these Defender LTX M/S are the best so far. I ran the PSI up to 40 -it was set at 32 from the installer and that made a big difference. I have not used them in snow yet but took a couple 800 miles trips and hit a lot of rain and sun at speed. These tires make my truck feel like a train- glued to the road...hit 1 to 2 inch pools of water on the interstate and they sliced right through it. Very comfortable ride and no excess noise. The only downside is I think I lost a MPG or two on the highway - but these are for a truck, if you want MPG your driving the wrong vehicle. Buy these tires you will not be sorry.

Thanks so much for the kind words A Guy, we appreciate your loyalty! In reference to your MPG, new tires having full tread depth will have more grip and rolling resistance in comparison to worn tires. As the new tires wear, the rolling resistance decreases. Over the life of the tires, all things being equal, the fuel efficiency should improve.

I took delivery of a new 2004 Chev Tahoe 4WD. Before I picked it up I paid the difference to upgrade to a set of Michelin LTX's. This is not my first time on this model of tire and auto. 89,000 miles later I went back for a new set. The ride even as they get some miles on them is great. They always rebalance beautifully. I'll go for Michelins for my ZO6 Corvette when I wear out the original tires it came with.
