Replaced Tires.. Game changer..

[Southbay]

Went from shit old Toyo open country's that couldn't be balanced anymore and the ride on my 13 Ex. EL Lim. was horrible to Michelin Defender LTX.. Wow what a difference. This my first set of Michelins in my lifetime...Because I always went for a mid grade tire...Whats your take on Michelins..?? Are they worth the extra $$..?

I used to buy Michelins. I guess I didn't drive enough miles as they got replaced for dry rot/cracking of the sidewalls long before the tread was worn down.

Never had other issues with them, the sidewalls just didn't last as long as the tread.

Yeah, 6 or 7 years of use, tread never worn out.

Those Michelins are good tires. You’ll be happy with them.

We have them on our navigator, the ride excellent and are very quiet. I'm sure the tread will outlast the tire for my wife as well, we've put barely 3k on it since purchasing in the spring.

I only buy Michelin's for my vehicles. Seem to have best traction in wet conditions and overall ride. When buying a vehicle without Michelin's on them, I tend to change early to get the ride back. You'll love them too.

Went from a lifetime of Generals, Good Years and Coopers to a new pair of Michelin LTX takeoffs from CraigsList. I will never buy any other tire. The Michelins are that good.

Another thumbs up for Michelin. Never had a tire brand as good as they are.
Side note...the Bridgestones I currently have on my Expy are apparently made by Michelin. I’ve been very pleased with them as well.

Love the Michelins. I have the LTX M/S 2 on the Expedition, and the LTX Defender on my 1981 Chevy pickup. They are very much worth it. I actually have about 60,000 on the Expedition tires and they still have a fair amount left.

I find the Michelins to be good for dry and rain. Their snow performance is pretty poor imho - markedly worse than the Pirelli Scorpion STRs I had previously. However, the Scorpions were toast in ~35K miles and Michelins gave me over 60K. The Michelins have better ride quality. I'm actually due for tires right now and my plan is to stick with the Michelins. If it snowed more than a couple times per year here I would go with something else.

I’ve found the exact opposite true with my old Michelin LTX MS2. Fantastic in the snow. Was like having snow tires that could also be run in July.

You probably DON’T want to look at Tire Rack’s user survey to back up that opinion of yours:
