Love'm

Best tires I've ever purchased! I put them on both of my Tacomas and I'm on my second set on my current daily driver. I get close to 100k miles on each set. Yes, I rotate them and run the appropriate tire pressure as scheduled. The handling of my truck in adverse weather is so much better with my Michelin Defender LTX M/S...even in hurricane rain they grip the road while other vehicles are hydroplaning

Good ride

I was happy with the Michelin tires that came stock on the vehicle and I am glad I went back to the Michelins.

Very happy!

Purchased these tires in October 2016 after much research. I can not afford to buy "winter" tires as well as three season tires for my F150, so I decided to find the best all around tire that I could find. I researched all different brands and decided on the Michelin's. I am so happy with my choice. I drive approximately 30km to work every day, mostly on back country roads. When it snows they are plowed but usually still snow covered. These tires stop the truck better than any other tire I have ever had on any vehicle. I look forward to many kilometers of driving with these awesome tires.

Michelin Rocks and Can Do More!

Defender LTX M/S are outstanding*. Ride, comfort, grip, handling & braking are outstanding. Noise reduced exponentially. Other Michelins & brands may start out this strongly but based on previous experience & research, these Defender LTX M/S tires will** surpass all, certainly most all others. Name a better tire? I'll buy it! *More driving time of course, in various weather and road conditions, and at varying or higher speeds for longer duration is needed to establish baseline to test limits, etc. **Defender research shows some manufacturing problems Michelin must resolve. I want & expect less risk, more certainty. Michelin can do it!
