Excellent tires!

I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline AWD and @ 70K I am near the wear indicators for new tires. My previous truck was also a Honda Ridgeline (2006) and traded @ 83K and had just put on a new set of shoes. I am getting outstanding mileage from both the tires and gas mileage - up to 27MPG. The secret for me has been to inflate them to between 38 and 40 lbs. The ride is a bit harder but the savings more than make up for the difference. I love my Michelins!

Best Tires

Bought Michelin Defender LTX m/S tires for my Jeep Grande Cherokee about two years ago. Best riding....traction and longest wearing tires of any we have had on our cars, suvs and trucks for the last 40 years. Ride great, hold the road in dry, wet and snow and don't seem to show any wear. Worth the extra money.

Going to give them another chance

The tires are quiet and give a good ride. However, after 4.5 yrs and 38K miles, two of them are dry rotting and the tread is almost gone off of the other two. I sliced one open around some road construction so I am going to buy another set and see if this was just a fluke. I have had success with past Michelin tires, my last set lasted 80k miles.

Fantastic Tire

My new GMC 1500 Denali came from the factory with Bridgestone tires. I asked the dealership to change out to Michelin that I had been running various models on my trucks for over 30 years. They declined and said the Bridgestone tires were "just as good". At 186 miles, on the freeway at 80 mph the left rear Bridgestone completely came apart. It delaminated like retreads do on tractor trailers. I was able to pull the truck over, put on the spare and drove back to the dealership I've never had a tire come apart like that. After a bit of a discussion with the Sales Manager the dealer persuaded GMC to replace the tires with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S. Couldn't be happier. The tire is quiet, handles like a dream and I don't worry about the quality. "Just as good" means inferior in my mind.

Best Tire Ever

Great tires! They are worth the couple of extra $ to move up to this grade of tire. Quiet and smooth ride. Outstanding handling in all road conditions including rain, snow and ice. Haven't found a thing that I don't like. I've recommended these tires to friends.

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.

The best tires I have ever owned

I have been utilizing the Michelin LTX MS tire on my 2002 LX470 for the last 11 years. I have 136,000 miles on the vehicle and am on my second set of tires, which still have good tread on them. I use the vehicle for just about everything, from going camping, to the beach and running around town on errands. The vehicle has constant all wheel drive, so I expected the tires to not have as much life, clearly this is not the case. I currently am in the process of procuring a new set of these, not because of the tread or sidewall appearance, but due to the number of years and miles they have on them,(over 66,000) I feel it is time from a safety standpoint. Aside from longevity, they handle exceptionally well,especially for a vehicle of this size and weight. The traction is true and devoid of that "greasy" feel I have noticed in other tires over the years. Bottom line is, Michelin has done an outstanding job with this product line..don't change a thing.

Michelin Makes the Best Tires Hands Down

I've been running Michelin LTX M/S on my '89 F150 for over 15 years now and have had zero problems with them. I just put on my third set and actually ran the last ones a bit too long. Even though they were severely sun damaged and had little tread left, I had no problems with them on the road regardless of running with a load, trailer, or empty. I wouldn't want to run any other brand of tire. You may be able to buy a cheaper tire, but there is no other tire that will give you this kind of performance and reliability. After working in a tire store for many years, I only want to buy Michelin products! I've seen too many issues with other brands to take a chance on saving a few bucks.

92000 miles

I purchased a set of these after having cheaper tires cupping and camber wear. I now have 92000 miles (25000 of those towing) on them and they still have thousands of miles left to go. They look brand new and dont wear irregularly like cheaper tires. Incredibly quite and smooth ride.

long time lover

I have used michelin tires for the past 40 years ! always been satisfied, even after a couple of mishaps that the dealer took care of right away without any questions, ( My dealer is great ). The last 3 or 4 sets of michelin tires have taken me down the road at least 60,000 miles and up to 80,000. I expect this new set to last 80,000 plus miles. Thank you very much !
