Treadware was exceptional.
Excellent product. Very durable.
SNOW ❄️ 🧊 ICE Traction!
Wet and Snow ❄️ traction was awesome this winter! We got a crazy 🤪 extra amount of Snow and Ice in Richmond, Virginia this year! I have got a lot better gas mileage with new tires also! Had gotten 89k out of old Michelin tires!

NOT your dads LTX, for sure a downgrade
I used to use the LEGENDARY original LTX on my HD trucks. That tire was amazing in every way. This replacement not so much. Tire has about 45 to 50k miles on them and one is separating and the rest show substantial wear on edges and across treads. Will be searching for a new brand. Try new things win new prizes Michelin. You knew you had a winner with the original LTX.
We're sorry to hear your Defender LTX M/S tires did not deliver the tread life and durability expected. Tire wear and separation can be influenced by several factors, so we recommend having the tires inspected by an authorized tire retailer, who can evaluate the tires, alignment, and overall vehicle setup. After the inspection, please contact Michelin Consumer Care at 866-866-6605 (Mon-Fri 8 AM-7 PM EST, Sat 9 AM-1 PM EST) with the results so we can further assist you.

Defenders are Best
Only tires that I purchase… Last forever…always an even ride!
Great tires
Excellent tread wear, last set went 80,500 miles.
Excellent replacement tire of the same prior Defender LTX M/S model which lasted 80,500 with no service issues. Tires ride great, are quiet, and have excellent traction. Unfortunately, the manufacture date on the tires is 4423 which means the 44th week of 2023, so the new tires were actually 2 and one half years past their manufacture date when sold and installed.
