I've used Michelin tires on most of my vehicles over quite a few years (1st was a 1969 Oldsmobile Toronado). I've been using the LTX M/S on all my SUV's since 1989. The one thing that sets these tires apart from others of similar design is the tread life. There really nothing I didn't like about this tire. Good in snow and good in wet conditions. Quiet on the highway. In fact, I have recommended this tire to several of my relatives and friends.

This is the best tire for the price. You can buy a cheaper tire, but you would have to buy two sets of the cheaper tires to get the same mileage as one set of these michelins. Smooth, quiet ride just adds to the value of these tires. I won't own anything else.

I had run-flat Pirelli tires on my new Durango R/T...I replaced them after not even 12,000 miles with the Michelin Defenders.... HUGE Difference! Quieter. Better ride and better traction. I had these on my Jeep Grand Cherokee too and they are far superior to any other tire I have used

I bought these tires over a year ago. I have had numerous sets of this tire due to the quality being uncompromising. Traction, tread ware, quality. That’s why I keep going back to to Michelin. I’ve had other brands, Yokohama, Goodyear, etc. Michelin perform and wear better. You pay for what you get especially when it comes to tires. Well worth the price every time!

Bought a set of Defender LTX M/S tires about 6 months ago. When I first drove with them I noticed that they were very noisy. Had them rotated and balanced at 6000 miles. I discussed the noise problem with the dealer and he had a technician drive my vehicle after the tires were rotated. The technician said the tires sounded quiet to him. I had him ride with me and he said he could hear the tire noise but considered them to be quiet, "quieter than most". I have never had tires this noisy. I would not recommend these tires if you want a quiet ride.

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.

Been using Michelin tires for about 15 years and this is the first time I've been disappointed. Only got 3 years and 30K miles out of these before they were worn to 3/32. I expected them to last longer, but they actually wore out quicker than the Primacys I used to use.

These tires have gone 72,000 miles and I am currently debating buying new ones even though my mechanic says I am nuts and will probably get at least another 20,000 out of them.I have nothing but tremendous praise for the Michelin engineers . I have been buying Michelin tires exclusively for over 28 years and have to say as a former tire salesman , NOTHING BEATS A MICHELIN !!!!!!!

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.

Bought these tires a month ago to replace the same set. Last set had 96,000 miles on them. Definitely not much left on them so it was nice to replace. Went on three trips already with heavy rains and winds, performed great. Great ride, great traction.
