I have these tires on my 06 4X4 Dodge Diesel and they are not at all to be used on regular dirt roads (not off-roading). I have gotten two flats where the tires were penetrated by a rock. Too expensive for the quality of tire. This tire is designed for people that never get off the highway for anything.

Replaced factory 4Runner tires with these and love them. Smooth, quiet, with good traction. My only complaint is there is not a 275/70/17 option which would allow a clean fit without having to modify the 4Runner at all, which is necessary with the 285s. If you made a 275/70/17 it would definitely be my next set after these.

These tires are hit or miss in my opinion. They perform great in snow and ice, but the My first set lasted maybe 25,000 miles, while the second set have 50,000 miles on them and still look brand new. I was told the reason why my first set wore out so quickly is because my tie rods needed to be replaced and this voided the warranty. Not sure if that's true or not, but the original set had little pieces of rubber chunking off regardless if they were on the front or back.

Just replaced Yokohama tires with 64,000 on tires, dealers mentioned that they no longer carry them so he suggested the Michelins Defender LTX MS for my suburban. Now let's see how they perform on the highway, pulling cars to shows in this desert climate. Looks nice brings back that OEM look to the unit. Now had a fair experience with prior warranty on tread life, let's see how this round goes..

I have bought four sets of OEM LTX M/S Michelin Tires for my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. On the fifth set I purchased the LTX M/S Defender Series and LOVE them. Makes for a very very smooth ride. If you stuck a penny in the tread to check depth - the Defender would eat it! I was debating about straying from the OEM LTX M/S as I have been extremely pleased. When I read the reviews about the Defender I was impressed and now I know why! Even better performance than the previous great tires with traction, ride and braking. Also, OEM is 60K mileage and the Defender is 70K and only $2 more each - Great job Michelin!

I bought these tires less than a year ago, I have put about 4,000 miles on them and I really dislike them. There is no smooth ride and they are so noisy it's frustrating. I was told by the tire shop to give them some time since they are new but there has been zero change. I don't even like driving my vehicle anymore because of the tires. I really wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately aside from the warranty I would never recommend these to anyone.

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

I bought these tires because someone told me they had a good ride. I found out later that they pull good in the light mud, light snow. I have had them on my truck now for over 50,000 miles and still have about 20,000 miles left. I am currently looking at a set for my Jeep. I wish all tires lasted as long as these.

I put these onto my 2004 Tacoma when I first purchased it new and after 6 years & 95,000 miles, I've decided to replace them with another set.. I've driven on them 60 miles roundtrip to work everyday - in snow and blistering heat. All I've ever done is rotated and balanced... I couldn't be any happier!

When I bought my '01 Tahoe in '07 it had 163K miles. It had LTX/MS all the way around but 2 were worn and 2 were only half worn. I replaced the worn ones and just this year replaced them again with around 255K miles on the truck. I have never had a tire last as long and wear as evenly and drive as well as these! I was hesitant to replace these at first, but I am so glad I did. I have bought a lot of tires over the years, but always considered Michelin to be too expensive. If they last as long as they are supposed to, they are well worth it. The other 2 on the truck were replaced about 50K ago and still have plenty of life. I have no doubt that they will also get to that 90K mark with no problem.
