Excellent Tires

This is my second set of LTX M/S tires. My first set lasted for nearly 90,000 miles. There are on a 2006 Honda Elements. I drove a lot of interstate miles. There really grip the road in the rain. Snow performance is excellent. I would strongly recommend these tires.

The first thing I noticed ...

The first thing I noticed was the Jeep Liberty these tires were mounted on, would start to roll forward when the vehicle was placed in gear. A new experience since the original equipment tires just sort of sat still and always needed a little nudge on the accelerator to get into motion. Secondly, the original equipment tires would squeal in tight turns even at very slow (essentially) walking speeds. Not so at all with the Michelins. Third, handling and control of the Jeep has improved. They've only been mounted on my vehicle for a couple of weeks, but I;m definitely very enthused with their performance By the way, my 2000 Buick has Michelins and my 2005 Winnebago motorhome came with them as original equipment, and they have performed flawlessly in their first 45000 miles of service.

Outstanding~!!

I experienced the worse nightmare possible, hundreds of miles from home, stranded on the side of the road, downpouring rain, AAA on the way..Michelin dealer where I had originally purchased these tires called the customer service center for Michelin and..after adjustments were made, had all 4 brand new tires mounted..I am in love with that Michelin man..lol Great way to keep a extremely happy customer~!! Happy New Year really takes on a wonderful meaning this year..Thanks again little guy!~!!

Have 60,000 miles on set ...

Have 60,000 miles on set of Michelin tires on heavy Diesel pick up and going strong. While pricing out new set was advised that have a good 15,000 left on tread. Has been mostly highway miles but towing RV trailer for half of it. Good handling and traction for highway tread. Fourth set of Michelins and will buy again.....

I have two vehicles and ...

I have two vehicles and after retiring price became center to many everyday purchases and tires became a pricing issue; over and above performance. After I purchased a set of tires through an on-line discount for my BMW I felt all my future purchases would come from a tire discounter with focus totally on price. However, before I had to purchase tires for my Landcruiser I was faced with a potential deadly situation, a blowout on the freeway. As I drove on the freeway in the center lane of a three lane freeway at 60 miles an hour I ran over something on the road that caused a loud noise under the vehicle. After traveling about � of mile I started to feel the frontend of the vehicle vibrated and at the same time two 18 wheel trucks pulled next to me on the right and left sides. The vehicle continued to vibrate and the tire began to fail. As the trucks continued passed the tire blew completely out. Due to the structure of the tires I had on my vehicle I was able to maintain complete control of my vehicle and those tires were Michelin LTX M/S P275/70SR16. I can give a firsthand report - Michelin tires are lifesavers.

I replaced the original ...

I replaced the original tires on my current truck at 33,000 with Michelin LTX tires and have ridden on them for five and one-half years and now have 113,000 miles on odometer. The tires still have a considerable amount of treadwear left. These tires have provided the security of knowing that I am riding on some of the highest quality tires on the market today. The comfortable ride these tires provide have been far superior to any other tires I have ever used. This is the second truck for which I have purchased this model of tire, and experienced the same life of the tire on the last truck I owned.

Smooth ride

I just drove a couple thousand miles on my new Michelin Defenders. Some of the ride was on I-40, perhaps the worst interstate in the system. But the tires smoothed the ride as much as could be expected. I wish all the money from hiway taxes went into roads for cars instead of bike lanes and squirrel sanctuaries.

Excellent tires for my truck

I drive back and forth to my home in northeast Ohio to my Condo in North Carolina. My Michelin LTX M/S tires give me a smooth and quiet ride on highways and the security of being able to handle any rain or snowy conditions on the roads. Great tires…great price..

Great tires! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased a set of Defender LTX M/S tires for our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. Could not be happier! Smooth quiet ride, with very good handling. Recently traveled about 1400 miles over varying types of road surfaces and mountain driving. Felt a lot more comfortable coming down the steep and winding mountain roads that we have traveled many times so very familiar with those roads. Nice looking tires as well. Have not tried rain or snow yet so only rating performance based on dry roads.

Not your father's Michelin's!

My previous tires (another brand) were smooth as glass on my 2014 Buick Enclave, but they were exceptionally noisy and wore out in less than half the miles warranted. I put on these Michelins, and aftrer three tire shop balances, they were still vibrating. Noise level was fine, but the shook the entire car above 60 mph. My favorite independent auto repair shop discovered that my tire shop had not distributed the weights correctly on these Michelins, and gave me a proper, courtesy re-balance. That made a big improvement, but there is still a slight vibration above 60 mph. This is not my first set of Michelins. Most have been great, although there was one set that did not deliver on the treadwear mileage. Besides the ongoing vibration problem, these Michelins are the roughest riding tires I have ever owned. They transmit every pebble and pavement crack through the entire car. They even vibrate over glass-smooth asphalt. I am extremely unhappy with these Defender LTX M/S - so much so that I will likely never buy another Michelin tire.
