Have been using various ...

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

Awesome Tires

Put these on my 14 Silverado. Best all season tires I have owned. They are a quiet smooth ride with excellent handling. They are excellent griping wet roads, and although they are not a dedicated "winter" tire, they are very good griping snow and ice.

Great handling in crisis situation

A year ago, my 2008 F150 needed new tires. The original tires were 255/65-17 but Michelin had none in inventory and none scheduled to be produced so I had bought the 265/65-17. The tires have great road handling grip as was illustrated a short time after the purchase. During a rainstorm on an isolated two lane black-top, they helped me avoid a head-on collision when a car crossed into my lane and just kept coming despite my flashing headlights and blasting of the horn. I had two of my 14 year olds with me and since there were no other cars on the road, we quickly swerved to the left as the "distracted driver" flew past us in our lane at 70+ mph. I immediately thanked the Lord for the new Michelins and our safety. Today, after 16,000 miles the tread-wear has worn from 13/32" to 10/32" so I expect to get around 60,000 miles and about 3 more years from this set.

Smooth, quiet ride with excellent wear!!

Currently have them on my F-250 diesel with 20,000 miles on them showing little signs of wear. Should be good for at least another 50,000 miles. I'm a contractor that puts about 40,000 miles per year on my truck and these tires have taken me coast to coast, Florida in the summer to Oregon in the winter with no problems. The ride is amazing with little or no road noise. My dad also runs these on his Grand Cherokee year round in Michigan and swears by them.

I now have over 75,000 miles on this set, I rotate them every 5000 miles. I feel they will go 100,000. You pay more up front but these tires will give you your investment back. My wifes Tahoe also now has Michelins & it rides like a dream. I am on my third set. OK I' m sold !! RA

92000 miles

I purchased a set of these after having cheaper tires cupping and camber wear. I now have 92000 miles (25000 of those towing) on them and they still have thousands of miles left to go. They look brand new and dont wear irregularly like cheaper tires. Incredibly quite and smooth ride.

Excellent tires!

I have a 2008 Honda Ridgeline AWD and @ 70K I am near the wear indicators for new tires. My previous truck was also a Honda Ridgeline (2006) and traded @ 83K and had just put on a new set of shoes. I am getting outstanding mileage from both the tires and gas mileage - up to 27MPG. The secret for me has been to inflate them to between 38 and 40 lbs. The ride is a bit harder but the savings more than make up for the difference. I love my Michelins!

Unbelieveable

Purchased a 5 year old sport trac with 69000 miles. It had new Michelin LTX M/S tires. At 175000 miles and 106000 miles on the tires, I am wondering if they are ever going to wear out? Light hauling, highway miles,some trailering. Great all season tire .Best I have ever owned. Thank You Michelin Man

Outstanding tires

This is my 2nd set and my 2nd Honda Ridgline. I love the ride, these tires give smooth reliable traction on all surfaces as in northern Virginia we have all seasons and these are fantastic all season tires. I drive with confidence and comfort as these tires perfectly compliment the suspension of my vehicle. I recommend these to any and everyone desiring performance and comfort.

I have loaded over twice ...

I have loaded over twice the recommended capasity in my 2500 ram on numerious occassions. When I changed out the first factory set of Michelin's, they had over 85,000 miles with out a problem. My second set suffered the same treatment and were changed out when the odometer hit 180,000, without a dought these are best set of tires I've ever owned,
