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.

Bought a set of these from campus automotive and I am very pleased with them. My second set of Michelin’s on my Tahoe which now has 109,000 miles. Very pleased with the performance and the service from Matt and the team at Campus. Great review Matt.

At age 67, having had many different pickups and tire combinations I can honestly say these are the best tires for my Superduty……. Highest recommendation!!

I just put a set of these Michelin Defender LTX for my wife’s Infiniti QX-80 because they just started making this tire in 275/50 R22. Had them on about a month and wow! 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. Thanks Matt, your tire reviews are always great!

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.

Thank you for your in depth tire reviews! Decided to put these tires (275/65/18) on my 2016 F-150, and so far they are everything I was expecting. Keep up the good work!

Got these on my Tacoma and best tires I’ve ever owned. Smooth ride and comfort. 55k on them so far and plenty of life left in them.

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 have these on my 99 extra cab 8ft bed f150 and have driven them to San Fran from San Diego with ease. I also have taken them many miles off road in sandy washes in borrego springs. Love them!

i put these on my 04' highlander & they're amazing. the stability & grip they have is great, looking forward to seeing how they are in floridas rainy season

I’m getting these tires next week. First time owning a set Michelins. I have family in your area, love visiting the blue ridge!

Thank you for the information. I just got a set of tires that I HAVE NEVER heard of it. Landspider Wildtraxx M/T 35x12.50R20LT (Load E) EMT018 I keep changing tires due to dry rot within 6 years in Arizona..... and that’s before 5,000 miles. This time I’m going cheap and see the difference.

Thanks for the review, I'm going to switch out the winter tires on my CRV for these. I live in New England and do a lot of highway miles, I want quiet, well-balanced tires, and I'm happy to know these will perform ok with occasional bad weather before I get the winters on again. I used to drive Uber too and I can appreciate the excellent treadwear. Thanks for helping me make my decision.

Been waiting for this

My dad says these are the best set of tires he’s ever had on his f250 they do good on ice and hard packed snow and actually dig pretty good in deep snow he’s been through bumper deep snow while pulling a car and didn’t get stuck

First snow storm today here in MN I love these tires

Just got a pair for my explorer and i came from 2/32nds "mastercraft LSR" and even the drive home felt so damn good. I cant wait for snow and rain to really test these out.

Really enjoy your channel. Just bought some for my F-150. Thank You for the review.

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.

These are expensive, but awesome tires. Good grip, handles good, good in rain, great on the highway. On my 2wd I will definitely be buying another set in a couple years.

This is a great review. Thanks for posting it! Keep it up.

I will put these on my 2019 Sahara Unlimited. Thanks for the demonstration

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!!!!!!!

I have had several sets of these. They’re great!

Iv had these 2021 LTXs on my 2018 Enclave for a year now in Michigan. Love them! It rides very smooth, quiet, and has amazing gip on snow and ice. I think it's the sipping and compound... it almost feels like a winter tire in it's grip.

Great review man !

I bought a set of 4 from Discount Tire back in February of 2022 for my 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. I drive about 8-10K miles per year, and so far they're awesome. With the low mileage I drive, I'll most likely have to get new tires due to age before treas wear.

These are the best tires on the market period .I love these , they are not marketed as a all terrain but the truth is they are . I've tried just a out every set of all terrain tires on the market this is the only set ive been extremely impressed with ride quality is so smooth loved the ko2s the ride quality is not for me to harsh for the trade off of the aggressive tread.

Just bought these for my 2018 4runner TRD Off Road, felt the difference immediately on my drive home on the highway, felt as if I had upgraded the suspension, very impressed. Looking forward to see how they handle the elements.

Excellent summary. Honest, authoritative and very informative. Thank you very much.

Great video! You should consider doing the new Mickey Thompson Baja A/T or Cooper Discoverer Rugged Trek next. Thanks

I have a set of these in 295/65/20 (35.1 inches tall) on a 2021 f250 and love them. 4080 pound load rating at 80 psi when towing my 5th wheel. When not towing I run them at 60 psi front and 50 psi rear and they ride great. Quit on the highway. Only complaint is they throw rocks bad when on gravel and dirt roads.

Best tires I have ever owned. I have been using Michelins Defenders for years.

JUST put these brand new on my 2012 F-150... QUIET comfortable ride and great on dry pavement so far! Can't wait to see how they handle this winter. VERY VERY pleased thus far.

Have these on a Yukon XL and Suburban. They are EXCELLENT, and especially on wet roads! Cheap out on not buying these, we'll see you in the ditch.

Put those on my 02 Chevy 2500hd. I had BF Goodrich AT and they lasted great for me (60k) but I wanted to try some Michelin’s. Instantly noticed smoother ride and super quiet! Because I’m almost all hwy I’m super happy with them so far!

I had a set of these on my 2006 Tundra. They were very good tires . Pretty quite, smooth ride, good rolling resistance but not too much and I got 45,000 miles or so which is great for my truck which I usually only get 40,000 miles on a set. I'm due for a new set of tires soon and I'm planning on getting another set. I recommend them as they are the best tires I've used.

I have these exact same tires on my RAV4 and they are excellent. Well worth the cost.

I just bought these for my Chevy Colorado diesel. I have a GM Mastercard and collected points for 6 years to buy them and a new battery. Replaced some Goodyears that had some tread left but had no traction. Really didn’t feel too much different on the drive home. Good looking tire. I’m just hoping for good wet weather traction.

Have these on my wife's yukon xl and no complaints at all trying these on my ram 1500 next month

Just got these at Costco for my Grand Cherokee..can’t wait for them to install them…

You’re my tire guy I’ve learned a lot! I am looking at these for my wife’s RAV4 highbred XSC! 225/60/18 They don’t show that size can I go up to 235/with no problems

I've bought for my 2020 Ram Limited, $1676 with the warranty protection plan (Belle Tire). Far superior to the factory Goodyears that came with the truck. Just got the Michelins installed yesterday, they are absolutely phenomenal!

Best tire for Honda HRV? I do a lot of camping, but not so much in mud or snow. Looking for something with some longevity. Thanks in advance!

If these are anything like the Latitudes, I would give a EASY PASS and get Nok One. I also used Pilelli Scorpion Verde 3 I think it is/was, and they were very good, but not so much in the rain. Guy sounds like a professional sales man. Well done.

Hey Matt, love the videos. They help me so much with tire buying. However I'm interested in the Michelin Agilis Crossclimate. Do you have in info and or experience with this tire? Maybe a Video? Thanks Matt!

Love this brand of tires!

@campusautomotive I really really want to try the AT2, but having watching a ton of content on it… it seems the newer produced tires seem to wear faster and have more problems. Is that fair to say?

Your review was very informative. Would these tires be good for a 2018 Nissan Murano? Tire size is 235/65 R18.

Michelin Defender LTX M/S and Firestone Destination LE3, the same size, of which, the comprehensive performance is better? Tks

I got these on my suv. I live in bc where there is every road condition imaginable, including steep grades. I'm really impressed with these tires they are performing extremely well in British Columbia's winter.

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.

I only buy Michelin tires... My Dad did, what can I say? lol Just put a set of these on my F350. Heaviest weight rating I could find for my SRW truck. 295/70R18 rated at 4080lbs. Driving them home, I noticed a huge difference coming from BFG A/T's. Can't wait to load up the camper and RZR and see how they handle.

Have these on a Tacoma and a RAV4. Can’t beat the treadwear or the traction in ice, rain, and snow for a highway tread. A little more up front but great price per mile like you said.

Good video. Which Michelins tires you recommends for a Honda Pilot 2022 Black edition originally has continental 245/50 SL 20” continental crosscontac Lx sport. Which Michelin always I have better experience. And thanks for the info.

I just got it today on my Camry nice

I just ordered another set of defenders! With tires I’ll put my money in up front on Michelins… and they won’t let me down later!

Love your videos man! Getting obsessed with deciding on the right tire for my Grand Cherokee High Altitude V8 and your video help a ton. 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? Maybe an idea for the next video? Thanks a lot, keep it up!

your reviews are great what other tire would be second to it ,and would it be good for 4+4 tacoma

I have been looking strongly at the defender ltx. However I recently discovered the wildpeak HT02. It would be great if someone would do a side by side comparison of the two.

Between these and the LX25 which tires would you go with for a midsize SUV?

Great review! Would you recommend these tires for a 2017 Kia Sorento AWD? I want Michelin's but I am not sure which ones to get. I am done with the OEM Kumho's.

The last set of Michelin LTX’s on my old Dodge 1500 had 112,000 miles on them before I sold it.

Would you recommend the sl or load range e for a 2018 4runner that does some off-roading on forest service roads out West? I’m currently using BFG KO2s load range C.

They're surprisingly good in snow and in soft beach sand.

Best tires ever Michelin star the best tires in the world

I got 70,000miles out of mine. Buying another set for sure!

Just put a set of 4 on my 2016 Dodge Dart SXT. Far better than the Michelin Premier I used to use. Great during rainy weather & I suspect they'll be much better in snow !

Great tire I have 45 k on mine still good.

Ram 1500 Limited. 22" Wheels factory. 98% of driving on highway. No towing other than jet ski's and a pontoon boat. Would you recommend these or the Discoverer AT3 4S, or the Terraincontact A/T? Love your channel!

Hi Matt, Is there a difference between LTX MS and LTX MS2? Can only see just MS, not MS2 for a Honda Odyssey size 235/65R17. I'm open to any recommendations, thanks.

A few months I spent countless hours viewing and attaining info on tires for my 2021 TRD PRO Tundra, my first truck. 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??

Great review. Appreciate how in-depth it is. You mentioned that it is a good tire for CUV. It looks a lot like a truck tire to me (not an expert) and I'm wondering if you think it would be a good match for a 2013 FWD Toyota RAV4.

I agree with everything you said about these tires but they are expensive and my yukon denali is 16 years old. How does the continental tire balance out? I'D buy it if it balances out as well as the Michelin

Fantastic tire lasts forever

They look identical to my Pirelli scorpion ice and snow, that tread pattern is very quiet. My tyres are for winter only, technology has change since I bought my Pirellis 5 years back.

What would you consider putting on the Lexus GX 460?

I like your review of the Michelin Defender LTX but I decided to go with the new Nokian Outpost APT and we're about $250 a set cheaper.The tire has almost identical specs as the Michelin but has the Three Peak Snokflakes rating. The tire is a little louder the the stock Toyo touring M&S but seems to be quieting down after a few hundred miles.

I have a Ram 1500, and was confused between the defender LTX MS and LT AT2. I usually do highway driving with minimal off (gravel/beach) , which one would you recommend ?

How does this tire compare to the Primacy ltx? Features, use, benefits, etc.

They are great on my 2014 Ram.

Just saw your video. Very informative. I have a 2017 Ram 2500 mega cab with Cummins diesel and tow a travel trailer. Looking to replace off/on road coopers with something quieter and smoother. Would these Michelins be a good option?

If comparing this tire in a E load would it ride softer over bumps and what not compared to Toyo At3 E rated? I have the Toyo at3 E and it not a comfortable ride in the city. I feel every bump even with low tire pressure.

Great video ! Do you know where this tire is made ? I've had Coopers because they were made in the USA . Thank You !

Would you recommend the LTX for the Subaru Outback?

I drive a 2019 Ram 1500 in FL - torn between this tire or Continental AT/BFG KO2. Primarily city driving, & boat towing. I prefer the aggressive A/T look but don’t wanna sacrifice road noise & too much fuel economy. Which would you suggest? Thanks! 275/60R/20

Id like to see a video on michelins agilis cross climate for passenger and LT's. As well as your opinion on which would be better for a heavy duty truck 2500/3500, agilis or defender, for part time towing.

Can you review the Maxxis Bravo 770.

Would you recommend this tire for a 2017 Ram 1500 Rebel? For me it is between the Michelin LTX M/S or the Michelin LTX AT/2. Remember the Rebel has the 55psi front and 45psi back.

The Michelin xlt that u can get at Costco are the same thing and cheaper, but I will say they are awesome just bought my 4th set

I drive a 2019 Dodge Durango GT, I really like this tire Over the Bridgestone Ecopia.

I am not from the USA unfortunately.. but.. I still need some advice please.. I have a 2018 Ford Ranger 2.2 supercab/kingcab/ cab and a half.. It came standard with continental 255/70/R16. I was able to squeeze around 40K mile out of them.. I'm looking to go to Michelin's. What I can get here in South Africa are the LTX Trail ST.. Are these higher millage and great grip wet and dry? I'm not too worried about road noise but am more worried about safety and longevity.. we dont have snow like you do and I dont do off-road much, but if I do it would me a normal hard gravel road. Please could you give me your professional advice... Great videos by the way..very detailed and informative..

is this tire better than the Cross Climate 2?

Been enjoying your reviews! Wondering if this is over kill for a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek with just148 horsepower? 225/55/17. I like the idea of good road manors and off-road capabilities with out looking to meaty. Thanks and Happy New Year!

Which tire do you recommend for Cadillac Escalade? Size 22 inch

How do I find out if these will fit on a stock Subaru Forester 2017, 17" rims? Better to go with these or just the standard Defender T+H? Any feedback is helpful!

Balancing well is very important. It is annoying when there is a mystery vibration as it can be hard to track down the cause, and don’t need more potential causes of vibration. This is why I am hesitant about your favorite pick, the Continental TerrainContact AT. If Continental would address this issue I would buy them immediately. For now I may stick with this Michelin Defender LTX or try something new and different like Vredestein Pinza AT. One question - does the LT version of the Michelin have much different road feel vs. the P rated version? I am tempted to move up to the LT version for even better cut and puncture resistance on sharp gravel.

Hello, What tire would you recommend for a 2014 Ram 1500 crew cab 4wd in New York. 95%. Highway driving? Thank you John

Do you have any videos where you have tires installed and measure actual performance on snowy and icey roads. I have a 2019 Ram that after 40K I have to replace the duelers...I'm looking for the best roadway tire for icey and snowy conditions as well as rain and dry road conditions with tread life between 70K and 90K...I have landed on the Fireston Destination LE3 thru my research,,,but I'm still getting ideas that the Defender,,,or the Bridgeston Alenza Ultra are better...Please advise with your professional perspective on this.

I live in Australia, this afternoon I went into Bob Jane T marts, they informed me that this tyre isn't available yet in Aus. the Americans get everything first he says, Waay in advance. What tyre would be a good second preferance to this Michelin??
