I just installed my ...

I just installed my second set of LT M/S 108s. The first set lasted 110 thousand miles and still had 4/32 of tread left! We have a lot of rain in FL and the wet weather braking was exceptional. The tires were balanced when they were first installed and there was never a sign of vibration for their entire life. I never did anything special other than watching the inflation pressure and rotating them on a regular basis. We keep our vehicles for a long time and I am sure the new set will perform equally as well as the first.

I always like to us ...

I always like to us Michelins. Currently being unemployed I may have to settle for less. My last Michelins lasted on my 3/4 ton truck towing a large 5th wheel trailer for over 52000 miles and still had enough tread left to get a trade in on new ones. I've put them on every truck I could. They are the very best. I wish I could put them on my current Expedition!!!

Michelin Best & Worst Tire

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 HAVE USED MICHELIN ...

I HAVE USED MICHELIN TIRES ON MY 2000 FORD SUPER-DUTY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW IN NOVEMBER, 1991. I HAVE AVERAGED OVER 73,000 MILES PER SET OF TIRES AND HAVE GOT OVER 80,000 MILES ON THE LAST SET USING REGULAR TIRE ROTATION (UNSING THE SPARE) ON THE LAST SET. I STILL MAY GET ANOTHER 5,000 MILES BEFORE REPLACEMENT. MOST OF THE MILEAGE HAS BEEN HIGHWAY BUT I COULD NOT ASK FOR MORE. IN ADDITION, I HAVE AVERAGED AROUND 19 MPG ON THIS LARGE TRUCK WHICH I ATTRIBUTE A GOOD DEAL TO THE TIRE QUALITY. I WILL CONTINUE TO USE MICHELIN TIRES AS I BELIEVE THEY PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE FOR MY TIRE DOLLAR.

I just recently purchased ...

I just recently purchased my Michelin ltx M/S tires for my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Driving makes me feel like I'm on a cloud. They adhere to the road surface without sliding. I've driven on gravel and there is very little slippage on a hill. They fit well & look great! There is alot of road construction in my area with lots of graded surfaces. The tires I previously had rode hard and I could feel the roughness on the road. The Michelin ltx M/S have a smooth ride and I barely feel the graded surface (although I try to avoid the construction areas). I live in a mountainous area with many different road surfaces and weather changes. I haven't had any problems with my tires and love the way they feel and handle! When my 1999 car needs new tires, I will definetly purchase Michelin for it as well!! My husband works in the Automotive industry and he agrees that Michelin are the best brand of tire you can get.

Very noisy

Always had luck with Michelin tires until I purchased 4 defender tires for my ram pickup. The loud whine is unbearable on blacktop roads. A little quieter on concrete but still loud. Unfortunately I waited longer than 30 days to return them.. seriously considering buying new tires even though only 2500 miles on these

LTS M/S

Had my LTX M/S tires for a year. They are fantastic! I've probably put 10,000 miles on them and they still look new. I've bought many sets of Michelin over the years and they've all stood up well for distance driving and local driving. I live in the NC mountains, so they really have to grip a lot of curbs--and they do grip. Pay the extra; it's worth it!

Very Pleased

I purchased these LTX M/S tires for my 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 and when I sold it with 40K + miles they did not look used at all. These tires are quiet and run smooth, thus I just bought another set for my 2004 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4. I highly recommend these tires

Not sure of the quality control

Last week I had 4 new defender ltx tires mounted and balanced (P265/60r18). About 100 miles later the whole rear end of my truck now shakes like crazy when traveling between 55-60mph. I drove right back and they tell me that my rear 2 tires have "factory defects". I'm having them replaced tomorrow.

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction

Smooth and Quiet - Excellent Traction Just put a set on my wife's Grand Cherokee Ltd. . So far, excellent handling on any road type, quiet and secure feeling while driving at any speed. Have M/S's on my Commander and love them too. Best tire for endurance, range and quality for the price.
