Awesome Tires

I've had the LTX AT 2, and the LTX M/S2 on my last two vehicles and just replaced a set of M/S2s with the new Defender LTX M/S. Very nice ride on my Tahoe, two things like like better over the M/S2, the tread is actually a little deeper which will help since I live in snow country in the winter. Also the ride seems better along with less road noise. Overall I think Michelin hit a home run with these. one Awesome tire and will recommend to anyone that asks!

Set 4 and only getting better

Excellent tire. Great for holding down cost of long distance commuting. Been driving on Michelin tires for 40 years and they just keep getting better. I don't even look at other brands when replacing and won't buy a new car unless it comes with Michelins. Just took off my last LTX's at 73,000 miles and probably could have gone to 80K before getting to the wear bar but, the rainy season is just around the corner and I really wanted the tread depth back. Used to live up North and these LTX's were great in the snow too. Truly the best all-round tire. And, they're round so, none of the wump wump wump you here with some other brands.

Stop Looking

I bought these for my 04 Range Rover....19inch and Went with the 60 series....Fantastic tire...fills up the wheel well....they corner without noise....They stick to dry pavement with all the traction my Rover can use. They never break loose on dry asphalt. Deep snow is fine as long as it's not hard to push through. They offer great traction on snowy roads mind you I have all wheel drive. They are super quiet and I have tried many brands....These are the best...anyone says different they have bad suspension, or they are not capable at discerning a difference. In two years the new tire rubber bits have just worn off. Off road...slick rocks, moderate sand, 6 to 8 inches of mud...river crossing, hill climbing...truthfully...good enough for 90% of what I do. I may go with the AT2 but unfortunately I have to buy new 20 inch rims. They don't make them in 19inch....COME ON MICHILEN MAKE 19INCH PLEASE!!! I prefer the larger side wall...60...65....They are quieter...they ride smoothly and they have more cushion when you are off road!....MAKE THEM PLEASE....255/60/19 AT2...Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

Disappointed.

Smooth enough ride, feels like a sure grip ... but a tad noisy compared to our previous tires. The biggest disappointment is with the mileage. After expecting a modest improvement based on the marketing claims, our mileGe actually dropped from 10.7 to 11.5 with our mid-sized SUV ... same driving environment and driving habits ... 25/75 city/highway driving. Would not recommend these tires yet, based on our 2,000 km experience. The value just isn't there. We were expecting more from our first ( and, sadly, probably our last) purchase of this brand.

Tire Quality

I have been buying Michelin tires for 40 years now. Overall I have been quite satisfied with the wear patterns, reliability and service life of the tires. I have had Michelin tires on light trucks, vans, SUV's, sedans, sports cars and mid-range trucks. The Defender LTX M/S for my 2015 RAM 2500 4x4 Turbo diesel 3/4 ton truck only lasted 20 months and less than 30,000 miles. They were religiously rotated every 5,000 miles, not used for heavy loads or towing, little mountain road driving and no off road use. They all four (4) wore evenly but did not reach any where near the 50,000 service life expectancy.

Round Tires

My second set of Michelin LTX's. Michelin tires ride nice and quiet. They are round. Truck owners and 4x4 owners will have to use less weights to balance over sized tires because the quality control at Michelin does a better job of making sure the tires are round and balanced better right from the factory. Other tire manufacturers don't come close ! Thank you for making a quality product that I can easily expect to get 60k miles on, just like the set before this.

Second time...just as charming.

Following my fathers advice, who is a professional tour bus driver, I have purchased Michelin tires for my families cars for 30 years. My latest set replace M/S LTX that just passed 75,000 miles. If not for the toe being out a bit on my car, I might have managed another 5,000+ miles. Stoked!!

I have been running this series of your tires on 2 different vehicles' for over 20 years and have nothing but praise for them. There has just not been any failing grade at any point. Thank you for continuing this product without changing to be better like so many products and in actual fact end up give the customer a inferior product . Keep your quality, IF IT'S NOT BROKEN DON'T FIX IT.

These tires are very quiet and offer a comfortable ride

These tires were purchased Feb. 26, 2021 on a new vehicle. The date today is June 19, 2023. I have driven 18,500 miles since my purchase and the wear bars have already shown on two of the tires and the other two tires are close behind. This is only with highway driving. I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin Premier LTX tires. Needless to say, these tires have shown excessive wear.
