Michelin, the only way to ride

This LTX M/S tire is on my Explorer that is driven daily. I have had several vehicles without Michelin tires and other tires Do Not have the comfortable ride that the Michelin's do. The ride is smooth, quiet, and long lasting tread when tires are maintenance regularly,( inflation, rotation, ect. ) The only negative thing I can say is I wish I could get double the mileage out of the Michelin, as right now I am pushing well over 70,000 miles on this set of MTX M/S.

These are the best tire made

These are the best tires made. I bought 4 LTX/MS in 2006 for my Xterra. I just notice today that I will have to replace them within the next 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I pulled the paperwork and they were installed @ 223,000 miles. I now have 385,000 miles. Do the math folks, Yup, 162,000 + mile and riding like new still. AWESOME. See what routine rotating and air pressure checks will do for you. And yup I can back it up with detailed paperwork. Only wish I could afford to buy these again. This kinda sounds like a commercial.

Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.

Quiet and smooth ride

I have had my tires for about 10,000 miles. They are very quiet, and give me a smooth ride as well. I believe in Michelin tires and have purchased them for half of my life. They have never failed me and I have never had a problem with any of my Michelin tires getting cupped on the edges and making noise. They are not the cheapest tire but they are worth the cost in the long run. Spend the time to rotate them every 5000 miles and they will last you a long time.

97,000 km on these tires ...

97,000 km on these tires still have wear enough if summer was coming, extremely quiet on highway, I tow a 10,000 lb fifth wheel all summer, I'm never concerned about my tires. 80lbs of air when I'm towing and releave the tire pressure when not towing for a smoother ride when empty to 50 lbs. Still enough for a short haul.

Performance and Safety

I expect high performance out of my Michelin Tires, and that is what they deliver. In tight curves they hold the road, in rainey conditions they hold the road, when breaking they hold the road, I would only trust Michelin with my family on board. They deliver year after year, and seem to hardly ever wear out. Each new set of Michelin's that I buy, seems to last longer than the last ones. In any of my vehicles, Michelin is the only brand that I would trust.

The main reason I buy ...

The main reason I buy Michelin tires for my truck is they are economical to use. They cost less than any tires that I used, based on full life of tire. My Michelin�s have over 70K miles and they have a lot of thread left. The originals where totally gone after 44k with using the spare tire in the rotation on a dually.

On my 2nd set on Escape!

My 2015 Escape came equipped with the worst (not Michelin) high performance tires on earth and literally were breaking apart in a short time. I was advised the Defenders were the best and I'm on my 2nd set. I've had Blizzaks on this car, but now that they're worn out, I find the Defenders do the job all seasons in Michigan!

I am in the ...

I am in the transportation business and have had great success with the Michelin product line. When it comes to passenger tires I don't think you can beat the LTX M/S. The ride and life of these tires are unmatched by any of the competition. I one time tried the competition because of price not cost but price and have been sorry ever since. The next purchase for that truck will be the LTX M/S.

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.
