I purchased these tires, because of their long tire life, being quiet while driving on the freeway, and the brand name standing behind them. As for the tire life, I have driven, on the freeway mostly, 55K miles and still have tread left (not hitting the wear marks yet). Traveling daily on the freeway, tire noise becomes an issue with me. I enjoy listening to some good tunes on the radio and not having to listen to my tires howling. These tires don't make tire noise, so they won't interupt the music at all. Finally, Michelin tires stand behind their tires. I've owned many trucks and sport cars in my life without having any issues with the tires that I have purchased. Michelin tires have given me peace of mind even with my family in my car or truck. Yes, these tires are that good!!!

I had run-flat Pirelli tires on my new Durango R/T...I replaced them after not even 12,000 miles with the Michelin Defenders.... HUGE Difference! Quieter. Better ride and better traction. I had these on my Jeep Grand Cherokee too and they are far superior to any other tire I have used

I have always liked the performance of my Michelin tires but the tramlining on this set is a definite negative. I truly would not have purchase them had I known that it would be this noticeable. I needed new tires for my Jeep Grand Cherokee and I put on about 35K miles a year so I didn't hesitate getting these as I have never had this problem with other Michelin's on my cars. Very irritating considering half of my daily commute is on grooved pavement.

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!

I have been driving on these new tires for a month or so. I expected good grip and a nice ride and they delivered. I was pleasantly surprised how stable they feel. My old tires had a more aggressive tread and they felt mushier on the road. since almost all of my driving is on the read. These tires were the perfect choice.

I use these these tires on my personal and work trucks. they are the quietest, smoothest, and most dependable tires I can buy. They cost more than other tires however, I cannot afford to have my trucks out of service for any ammount of time. If I can prevent time loss by spending a little more up front, then I can save a whole lot in the long run.

The first set came on my new vehical and they lasted over 90,000 miles and I am on my second set and at 145,000 these tires just last for ever! I will not have any other tires on my vehicals other than Michelins. The LTX M/S are one of the best snow tires I have ever owned ! I have never been stuck in snow or mud since I have had these tires on my vehicals!

I have ran the tires on multiple trucks and suvs. Primarily blacktop miles on back country roads and interstate. Excellent traction in rain and snow. Sticks to road with excellent mileage, usually 80,000 plus miles. Little costly but worth the investment. Tires will last twice as long as other brands.

These are the best tires made. I bought 4 LTX/MS in 2006 for my Xterra. I just notice today that I will have to replace them within the next 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I pulled the paperwork and they were installed @ 223,000 miles. I now have 385,000 miles. Do the math folks, Yup, 162,000 + mile and riding like new still. AWESOME. See what routine rotating and air pressure checks will do for you. And yup I can back it up with detailed paperwork. Only wish I could afford to buy these again. This kinda sounds like a commercial.

The Michelin Defender LTX are great quality tires and have a luxury ride. I have purchased my second set of these tires. The first set had almost 100,000 miles on them and still were in usable condition. I highly recommend these tires for high mileage and smooth ride.
