We purchased our tires ...

We purchased our tires for our 2005 Ford Excursion 16 months ago. We have 7 kids and drive roughly 30-50,000 miles a year between practice, games, and visiting out of state family. We trust Michelin to be the safest and all round best choice for our family. Thank you.

Last Set

Have had 7 LTX-MS2 tires replaced in the last year. Failures ranged from blowout at freeway speeds due to tread separation, sidewall puncture, tread penetration thru the belts by virtually anything. The 6th was a sudden sidewall failure and upon changing the tire noticed that the rip was about 4 inches long but the interesting part was the sidewall only had ONE belt--not two like printed on the tire. Previously ran 2 sets of Michelin tires over 100,000 miles each with NO failures.

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

Awful

We have bought Michelin tires for our vehicles for years because we thought they were the best. Not these. And they were not cheap. I have hated these tires since they were put on my vehicle. I feel like I have a ride like Fred Flintstone. Yaba daba do!

This is a great tire!

I bought these a month or so ago and love the quiet ride and just recently had a 4 hour drive in snow with about an inch or so on the road. They were a champ. Was able to go 50 - 55 mph with no slipping and sliding. was able to pass just about every car on the road with confidence.

I plced these tires on my Yukon at 60,355 miles on it and currently have 147,500 miles on my vehicle. The LTX M/S has given me over 87 thousand miles (mostly Interstate) of safe, comfortable and worry free driving. Using the quarter test, I can barely see the top of George's head. I'm told I still have another 10,000 miles, or so, and will be replacing my existing tires with a new set of Michelins.

LTX M/S - Quite simply the best!

I have been on Michelin's for years and was glad when the non-Michelin dealer tires had to be replaced on my Lexus RX. My local Lexus dealer recommended the LTX M/S and I had excellent prior experience with Michelin LTX tires on other SUVs. Handles great navigating Colorado's mountain passes, even during major snow events. I have pulled other vehicles out of snow banks and ditches as these tires really grip in all kinds of conditions. Very comfortable, smooth ride on dry roads and over long trips. A great all-season tire for paved and dirt roads. Coming up on 30K miles and they still look like-new with even tread-wear. I am diligent about rotating and balancing at recommended mileage intervals.

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.

This is my third set

I drive 35,000-40,000 miles per year. I am also an avid hunter and spend a fair amount of time off-road. In the past, I would opt for a more aggressive tread design than the LTXMS, but was always disappointed in the life span of the tires. I finally made the decision to go with a tire that would give me more economy on the road as well as a longer tread life and the LTXMS has been a great choice. I have noticed very little difference in my vehicle's (GMC 2500) off road capabilities and have been totally satisfied with the tread life. I have had a total of three sets of the LTXMS's on two trucks, and see no reason to alter this strategy. These are great tires!

My First Michelin's

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.
