Tire replacement

You replaced my LTX tires under Warranty, these fit on a 2003 ford E250 cargo van, I always got excellent mileage out of these tires includeing the ones you recalled from me, we replaced these on 239,450 miles, I have 270,418 miles on van at present and the only have 4//32 0f tire tread left, shouldn`t wore down this fast, as I keep my tires balanced and rotated every 5000 miles for life extention . they now have only 30,968 miles on them, this van is on the road and expressway frequently. just curious if this was normal mileage , your warranty states this is a 70,000 mile tire, if so I am 4/32 from being bald, thank you

Good when they're new, do not last however

I've had problems with two sets of these. Both wore out way too quickly. The first set was on my Wife's Toyota Sequoia and the 2nd on my GMC Yukon. I put 12k miles on these and they are down to 5/32nds. I plan to take my pro-rated warranty and buy a different brand once they reach 4/32. I used to swear by these tires and this brand, but not anymore.

Simply the best all season tires.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.

Dependable LT/crossover tire

I have put about 30,000 miles on Defender LTX M/S in all weather and they handle very well on my Honda Pilot. Stop wining about noise! These are noisier than passenger rated tires as these tires are light truck/crossover tires and are able to handle higher weights and loads. I run them about 4 lbs higher pressure than the SUV door sticker for higher vehicle load per the Michelin spec.

Worst riding tire ever

Have used Michelin tires for years and always loved them. Put this tire on a 2014 1500 RAM and they are the worst riding tires I have ever had. I am taking them off and putting on a different brand because I can' stand the ride any longer. My 9 year grand son even asked why the truck rode so bad.

76,600+ miles

Just bought my third set of these tires for my RAM 1500. The last set had 76,600 miles on them and still had 5/32. Each set has been great. Great handling in all types of weather and low noise. Regular tire rotation kept wear even throughout their life. Couldn't be happier.

Quiet and smooth

From the first drive these tires have been very quiet and absorbing the tar strips and bumps in the road. Looking forward to how they perform in the snow. Ratings ask about taks that have not been tested yet, such as safety. I haven't had to do a panic stop or heavy rain.

Can a tire really make a difference

I have had these tires on my Ford Expedition EL for almost a month. I have logged around 2000 miles, first impressions are very good. The control they provide is a big step up from the old BF Goodrich tires. I would not drive my Expedition in the snow due to poor stopping traction in the past. Now I do so with confidence. These tires are solid, in rain, snow and on dry pavement. This tire is quiet and rides great at highway speeds. If you are wondering if a tire can make a difference try these shoes on your vehicle you will be amazed. I will update this review as I log the miles.

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.

Best all around tires available!

This is my 3rd set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires. They last a long time! I rotate them every 6000 miles. They handle well in wet and snowy conditions. My vehicle tracks better with Michelin tires. I have them on my Suburban and my 2500 HD. both "E" rated. They're great no matter what the task, from hauling just myself around to fully loaded with passengers and luggage, to towing my 32' travel trailer. These tires are quiet as well. I have had many other tire brands, some good some bad, but Michelin are the best and well worth the little extra they cost.
