My LTX M/S tires are ...

My LTX M/S tires are superior in every way to the previous 'other brand' tires that I had on my GMC Canyon pickup. The LTX M/S give an incredibly smooth ride for a light truck tire and they are quiet. They also seem to have a reasonable rolling resistance as my fuel economy remains up where it should be. I'm very happy with my decision to mount these on my truck.

I have used other brands ...

I have used other brands of tires in the past and they haven't lasted as long as the Michelin's. I had them on my 1994 S-10 4WD Blazer and they lasted seven years for me and they will last probably another year or two for the person that I sold it too this past summer. Michelin tires seem to be the best for sidewall stability and long tread life. I will buy some again soon when I can save up enough money for the LTX M/S^2 LT285/70/R17 for my Expedition.

Michelin LTX MS original and Michelin Defender LTX M/S

I had the original Michelin LTX MS and now have about 500 miles on the new Defender LTX MS. I think Michelin really got it right with the whole design of this tire. The original LTX is a great beloved tire. It provides good all season traction, a smooth quiet ride and decent tread life. I see the difference to the LTX MS2 and the Defender LTX I am driving is mostly in the outer shoulder block tread design. Its not open so water and slush can evacuate more easily. I like this idea. So far I love the new Defender. My only advice to Michelin and keep a decent tread depth on your tires. For an SUV or truck 11/32 should be the minimum.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

Proven Quality and Endurance

This tire has proven itself to me on the roads of the Southeast, and I can strongly recommend this tire for your own Light Truck/ SUV! I have driven the previous set for 141,000 miles before recently changing the set of four. I have no reservations in saying that this is the only tire I will own. Stopping distances are less, as well as curve stability are only two of the benefits you can expect from these tires!

Michelin Tires Are The BEST !

Nothing drives, rides, or last like Michelin. I have been buying Michelin tires forever. I travel the SE and have found after I wear out a set of Michelins 3 times its time to replace the truck. 80 - 90 k miles per set. You pay for them but the value is there compared to other tires plus you can't beat the ride with a stick!

I love these tires!

I love these tires. When I say these tires have superior traction, I've had tires for six months and i driven through mud, wet grass and wet pavement and these tires never loss traction. I love them and I recommend them to anybody who drives a truck! One more thing, these tires make a truck look so good!

Wonderful tires

These tires are on my 3/4 ton pickup, they have wonderful traction when I am off road and when I am traveling through snow and rain. These are very long lasting tires which also have a smooth ride with minimal road noise. I will be purchasing Michelin similar tires to replace these tires in a few years.

I'd most likely buy this tire next time

I purchased this tire for road/highway use and bought based on tread design and depth. I was looking for traction on wet paved roads (especially when starting and turning uphill while starting) in Central Texas for my light rear ended, 98, Dodge Dakota P/U 4x4 with 5.2L. I keep 200 pounds of sand in the truck bed to aid in traction. This tire did not meet my desires. However, I have had 3 different brands over the 7 years I have owned the P/U and this tire has performed the best.

Best Tires for the Money

These are the best tires I have ever purchased for any vehicle. I got 90,000 miles out of this set of 60,000 mile tires. Only rotated once and tread wear was even throughout the time I had them on my truck. That is why I replaced those tires with the exact same tire regardless of the price. It is a good investment. I highly recommend these tires if you are looking for a smooth quiet ride, even wear, and long use.
