I am in the transportation business and have had great success with the Michelin product line. When it comes to passenger tires I don't think you can beat the LTX M/S. The ride and life of these tires are unmatched by any of the competition. I one time tried the competition because of price not cost but price and have been sorry ever since. The next purchase for that truck will be the LTX M/S.

I have owned three sets of LTX M/S , both on a Jeep Grand Cherokee & Two Chevy Silverado's. The LTX's were so smooth and quiet on my Jeep that it felt like it had a complete new suspension. I have over 82K miles on my current set on my silverado. I will never purchase any other tire than the the Michelin LTX series for any SUV or truck I own.

These tires are the very best quality and ride they provide is excellent. Through the first 45 years of my life I've bought just about every kind of tire either for me or my children. But as I got older and wiser I found this tire and have been using them for the past 15 years on three different vehicles, 2 jeeps and a F150. They give you a lot of miles and are excellent in any type of weather. Five thumbs up from me.....

I have a pair of these on my 99 ram 2500 (24v cummins) i do over the road transport hauling a enclosed car trailer, I rack up lots of miles and often go from new england through the mid west, sometimes to california and back, so i cover lots of terain, and tempatures, the tires have NEVER failed me, the ware evenly, grip well, ride smothly even under the stress of a load, and when the trucks empty they handle high speeds well ( the truck has some mods on it invcluding a smarty tuner) I will definatly buy another pair of these tires when they warout, i read some other peoples reviwes on this tire, it's a shame some have had dryrot problems, I have some very minor dryrot on my side walls, but not enough to compromise the tire, I find that using armorall on them frequently seems to help as it has rubber conditioners, though i don't these other peoples individual stories, I suppose it could be location, or lack of use, but in any case, I can only speak to my experience which has been great 5 stars from me!

without a question?the best tire,on the market.michelin wrote the book on the steelbelted tire recipe, i personally,have never had,or ever herd of a michelin tire seperatting,or twisting a belt,and thats why i trust ther process,and there great wear, i put 160,000 miles on my 245 75 r 16 and they still had safe tread wear left on them!

I am a big Michelin tire fan I think they are great tires until I bought these tires they were great for the first 3,000 miles but then it started the ROAD NOISE ! it drives me crazy. I bought them for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland it was the worst thing that I could have done. They hold the road great in all types of weather but the noise drives me crazy.

In the past Michelin tires have had clean side molding process. The Defender tires that I recently purchased does not have clean molding lines. One tire tire is perfect while the other three have extra rubber “flaps* around the tire side wall. Time will tell how they hold up. Maybe I'm picky but the extra molding rubber makes them look cheap.

My OEM tires on my Toyota Highlander still had about another 5,000 or so miles on them but as we were about to go on a road trip I thought it would be a good time to buy new and I'm glad I did. I went with the Michelins because I know that I can expect great performance and longevity. We drove from Florida to North Carolina in October, drove the Blue Ridge Parkway and beyond, totaling 2,500 miles. The Highlander handles great on the twists and turns of the parkway. One difference I noted compared to the old tires was that I felt we were part of the road rather than riding on top of it. The grip and feedback were fantastic. The only negative maybe was that I thought they were just a little high priced for tires made in Mexico but still, I was very happy with my purchase.

I left Goodyear and bought these tires 4 years ago and have loved these tires. We pull a Hitchhiker Discover America 300FK all over the US and these tires are quite and very smooth riding. I have worn the outside edge off as I have used the recommended 60 front 70 unloaded tire pressure. This is under inflated so now I run 70psi all around unhooked and 70 front 80 rear when hooked to the RV. I am getting a new set tomorrow.

Defender is a great tire, could not have picked a better day to replace my Wanglers. Felt like I was driving a different truck with the Michelins final on, quite, good control, ride that feels like your floating. Only draw back to me I always felt like I was driving 10 MPH slower. Had to keep my eye on speed until I adjust to them. Highly recommend.
