Smooth, quiet ride with excellent wear!!

Currently have them on my F-250 diesel with 20,000 miles on them showing little signs of wear. Should be good for at least another 50,000 miles. I'm a contractor that puts about 40,000 miles per year on my truck and these tires have taken me coast to coast, Florida in the summer to Oregon in the winter with no problems. The ride is amazing with little or no road noise. My dad also runs these on his Grand Cherokee year round in Michigan and swears by them.

I can't use enough ...

I can't use enough adjectives to describe these awesome tires! The tires I replaced were the ones I bought in 2004, which were, you guessed it...Michelins. I have never bought tires that performed the way Michelins do. I was single at the time, driving to and from work at over 70 miles per day. Thats why I bought them again. Your tires do exactly what you say they will. I'm one happy customer.

Pleasantly Surprised

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

I like the tire

I was having trouble with left turns in wet conditions with our 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. The tires on the vehicle would not grip the pavement in this turn. This is the third set of tires for the vehicle and I no longer am having the car slip in wet conditions. I am in need of replacement tires on my Chevy Impala soon and will most likely use a Michelin for this vehicle as well.

Safe, Quiet Tire

I have 45K miles on these tires and they are great tires. They ride quite and I feel safe with them in bad weather. They have been thru heavy rain, snow, ice and handle well. The tread wear is even and I keep tabs on the tire pressure. I know I need to replace soon and will probably get the same ones. Hoping the prices come down...

Not impressive

It's a month and I am not impressed. I switched from Michelin Premiere which were very nice. Essentially it's like switching from nice and smooth ride to one in which you feel every vibration and bump on steering wheel. 1. The tires are louder than expected based on reviews. 2. I keep feeling vibration, even at very low speeds. The person in tire place checked and says everything looks right. It started with tire change so it is definitely tires not anything else in car. So this is definitely not comfortable drive tire. Probably good for trucks, but not other cars.

Disappointed after 6 years

Bought set of 4 in Jan 2019. Put 50,000 miles on them and the massive cracks between the tread valleys are extremely troubling. All 4 tires have the massive cracks. I have a lot of tread left (65%), but I can't bring myself to drive with them because of how bad the cracks are. I've never seen cracks this bad on tires that are 10 years old let alone 6. Not spending my $ on these again.

Second set of LTX M/S on Ford Edge AWD

This is the second set of LTX M/S we have installed on our Ford Edge AWD. We live in an area that receives considerable snow fall. We were so impressed with the first set that we replaced them with another. They are quiet on the highway, provide sound handling, great traction in wet and snow while providing decent wear or longevity. When this set wears out, I'd gladly put on another.

Best light truck and SUV all-terrain tire

I have found the best light truck and SUV all-terrain of all time. I will be happy After I get our 5th set installed next week. Long lasting. Great traction wet, dry, and snow. They are worth the money for peace of mind. Quiet ride. Once you get about 3 years on any tire they start to get loud, hard, and slick tread. The defender ltx ms2 do not.
