I've been using LTX's on my Land Rovers for many years, and if you only look at the price point they appear to be expensive. A set of tires will last 2x to 3x longer than the comparable Goodyear's, Firestone's, Continental's, Geolander's, WHY. I've driven many miles from hot, highway conditions to snow covered forest service roads, and never had a moment when I even questioned my tire choice. They perform better than the tread pattern would suggest off road, IMO, they're well worth the money.

Looking to replace my LTX M/S2 after 70k miles on them. I didn't believe the tire salesman when he told me I'd get that many miles on them but I did.. I could actually probably get another 10k if I didn't get a screw in the drives side. Looks like I'll be going with a set of the Defenders now! Thanks for the informative video!

I put these on my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road a few months ago...I own a horse farm and use my 4WD around the property a lot..these tires look like a highway tire but I am SHOCKED how well these tires do!!! I put about 40-50K miles a year on my truck...so I go through a LOT of tires...I used the GY Kevlar tires (stock) for the past 2 sets on my truck and these LTX M/S ride much better in the snow, rain and off road!! I have had them in the snow a lot and again I'm VERY impressed!! I just bought a set for my wife's GMC High Top Conversion van. These tires are TERRIFIC!!!!!!!

A buddy of mine had a set of these on his truck. When I tell you I’ve never been more impressed with a tire… I mean it. He drove through a alley in 2-3 feet of snow with these things, they didn’t even flinch. He drives daily on gravel roads too, it’s just the cost that holds me back as well as the plain sidewall look but they do stay nice as black.

Great tire. I've put almost 10k on my set (09 Nissan Frontier V6 4WD, manual). Very smooth and quiet tire that has stayed in balance and has excellent traction on wet roads or light snow. They're an 800 A-A tire and act like it. They show very little wear at this point.

I have the same truck, 2017 model. Put on these tires at 35 psi and felt like I was driving the GMC Yukon Denali I rented for vacation and drove 3,000 miles the year before! Absorbs the bumps and road strips like a champ and just smooth all the way around. Amazing transformation from the original Bridgestone OEM tires.

I have just put this new version on my 2014 4runner trail. I got a little over 50k miles on the old version of the michelin ltx m/s2 tires and I absolutely love them. Smooth, quiet and great winter traction. The newer version feels a bit harder...idk maybe cuz their still new and the sidewall seems a tad stiffer? Seems like it helps a bit more in handling? I've had slight dry rot problems on older version Ltx michelins in the past. I hope the newer compound fixed this. Michelin arguably imo one of the overall best tires on the road. Still love the white letter look.👍

Best riding tire I have ever bought and if they go 70k miles it will be worth the money. They are expensive but so far worth it and they look great on this kind of SUV.

I have been using LTX M/S on my SUVs, trucks and crossovers and even a full size 3/4 ton Chevy work van. Every time I switched to something else, things went bad, and I had to go back to Discount Tire and have LTX M/S put back on. While using them I have never had a reason to think, gee if I only had some better tires on here. All the off-roading I have done they worked fine and were not the limiting factor in my ability to get in or out a place. My wife's Honda Pilot needed a new set of LTXs and I let someone convince me a different tire would be better for her Pilot. She doesn't know anything about tires or cars but the next day she didn't even know I put new tires on, but she did say "What the hell did I do to my Honda! it doesn't drive right" I said I put better tires on. She told me to put it back the way it was. So I did and now she says I don't know anything, but I know what tires my Honda needs.

From the factory tires ( Goodyear Wrangler A/T) to these Michelin - Defender LTX M/S is a huge upgrade. I must have 1 million miles of driving (no joke) & for the 1st time ever in my life suddenly a completely loss of traction with the oem Goodyear Wrangler A/T W/30k on them. a spun it 3 times on the semi-wet highway. going 70mph slight bend- right turn. Thank god for T/CNTRL. These LTX M/S have a lot more grip (softer) and zero noise, last forever. Now they have about 66K miles on them. All had about 3 tire plugs in them & they are still holding construction without falling apart. My 2017 Taco TRD Off-Road 4x4 I do some off-road but most highway use. No joke 70K miles not a problem with constant tire pressure & rotation. More money but worth the extended miles you can drive before new purchase.

The truck came with Nitto Grapplers, looked incredible, however I was concerend on wet weather and noise, and MPG. After many video's this video and some of your others were the reason I went with the Defender LTX MS. They are NOT sexy by any means especially on a trd pro tundra, but oh man that ride! Living in Florida, all city an highway driving with summer rains this was a practical choice. THANK YOU for that! That being said, we do go to our cabin, Blue Ridge Mts, for winter. Although not CO snow there is some, but mainly gravel driving up the moutain, wet weather an agan some snow. What tires would you recommend considering a 9 hr drive there, Fuel economy, road noise yet a slight more aggresive for handling harsher conditions? Im curently looking at KO'2s, AT3's, Toyo's and yes maybe even the nitto's again although I hear they are not great in wet weather. Thoughts??

You mention these tires are good for specific trucks so I'm wondering if you think these would be good for a V8 GC High Altitude like I have or do you think there are more specific tires you'd go with an SUV like that?

@lemoncide
@lemoncide 3 жыл бұрын
The Cross Climate product line is designed with snow performance in mind. If you're in a climate where that's a serious issue, those will be the higher value option for you. But you do lose out on treadwear. Non-LT CC tires are consistently 600 treadwear rated vs 800 for the Defender LTX. So any CC tire will give you 3/4 of the treadlife of a Defender LTX. LT tires don't have posted treadwear ratings due to use case, but in my experience they perform as well as their non-LT counterparts assuming you're not pushing the boundaries of your truck's GVWR on the daily. In terms of comfort, I haven't had any complaints after putting CCs on customer vehicles. Tire Rack's testing falls right in line with that experience. The main tradeoff I see is life span vs snow performance.
