I purchased this tire in 2020 shortly after cupping the OEM Firestone Destination Tires with less than 30,000 miles. I sold the Jeep Wrangler in May 2024 with over 101,000 miles on the vehicle. 73,000 of the last miles were on the Michelin Defender LT MS tires purchased in 2020. The tires were still serviceable with 5/32 tread depth remaining.

I have had these tires on my vehicle for a month now and have truly noticed a difference in the drive on the road. We went on a trip in the North Carolina mountains and the tires were glued to the road on every turn. They were noticably quieter than the previous tires and just improved my overall ride in my 2019 Toyota Highlander. I am extremely impressed and will recommend them to both family and friends.

I was looking for a smooth riding quiet tire for my SUV. I got that and more. comfort was a big deal and so was road noise. I drive on open road a lot and long trips. I tow a boat with my SUV. the LTX M/S looks great with it's raised white letters. handles great wet and dry roads. braking is great. I was most surprised by it's traction in snow. living in the north east thinking I would need a more aggressive tire to handle the snow. not the case. I made the rite choice. the only thing that I would say that was bad about this tire. was the little cracks around the bead of the tire as it aged . dry rot . LTX M/S A+

I have been a Michelin customer for over 25 years. Never had a problem with them. Talked my kids into purchasing Michelin tires and they love them. I am convinced that Michelin tires saved my life last year when I got shoved into the median on thy interstate running over 75 mph and they hugged the grass keeping me from flipping. Thanks for a great tire.

These tires were original equipment for my 2009 Honda. My current ones have 90k miles and are finally being replaced. Super traction in the snow, I never had a problem, and I live in NE. That is 5 hard winters of driving and I can count on one hand the number of times my vehicle traction control actually came on. Remarkable. Another storm coming, time for some new sneakers for the truck.

I purchased this set of tires in 2006 and they have provided excellent service. The mileage and traction these tires provide is the best of any other tire I have owned. This set of tires has 60,000 miles plus and are still going. I regularly tow my boat with this SUV and found there traction both on the road and at the boat ramp to be very good.

I have bought the Defender LTX MS tires for 3 separate vehicles that I have owned over the last three years and folks I can tell you, this specific Michelin is nothing short of a nightmare for me and my family. If or when you do find a good set of four, the ride quality is nothing short of phenomenal, but be warned, you might have to go through 12 of these tires to find four that is not defective. The reason why I keep buying this model is the fact that when you do find a good set, they are the most comfortable and with extremely low noise, because as good as the other models of Michelin tires are, most of them are extremely noisy. I have used countless other models of Michelin tires and kind of gave up on them due the high levels of noise, but other than high noise level, they were excellent all round tires. Michelin really need to spend more time in scrutinizing their quality because which ever factory they are using to make this specific model, they are way off the mark. The vibration from the defective ones are so bad that there are times when driving down the highway that I look over at other drivers to see their reaction if they can see my vehicle shaking. Due the vibration issues, I have even been trying to find this exact model tire in the European market, so I could have them ship here to me in the USA, because I was told the Michelin tires that are made in France are of higher quality. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to have this in Europe. Michelin should be ashamed to put out this poor quality tire with their name on it.

I owned Defenders previously, until 2018 when I replaced them with these current (2011 Highlander SUV). And now at speeds over 40 mph the oscillating sound is so loud and driving me nuts. I read a review when I bought these suggesting they are loud and now I believe it. Don't buy these -I don't know why Michelin can't design a quieter tire for SUVs. They have always been my go-to brand for my sedans.

have never had a set of michelins that I did not like, seem easier to balance than other tires. Always ride smooth. Michelins are all I ever buy for my F-150, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and BMW 535i, all ride flawlessly and the tires last well. Best buy on the market!

From the first drive these tires have been very quiet and absorbing the tar strips and bumps in the road. Looking forward to how they perform in the snow. Ratings ask about taks that have not been tested yet, such as safety. I haven't had to do a panic stop or heavy rain.
