Poor durability for all season driving

Unfortunately, this model is currently the only Michelin that fits my Lexus LX. I've never gotten more than 25k miles on a set before I can tell on light snow in a turn that they need to be replaced. Granted, this is a heavy vehicle, but the Latitude is not well-designed for a large SUV. I had great experiences with the LTX M/S2 on large and mid-size SUVs -- especially in snow and ice. The only positive feature of the Latitude Tour HP is that it is quiet. It's too bad Michelin has limited its offering to this particular tire in my size. I guess it's time to look at other brands.

Great Tires

These came on a mid size Lexus SUV, we are going to replace them after 40K miles. They have at least 10K remaining for a southern climate, they are worn enough that we feel we should replace them for this winter (it's my mother's car, I personally would wear them until the belts show but that's just me). The ride and handling on these (and other michelins we've had) are the best we've ever experienced.

Only lasted 55,000 kms or so

Purchased a used vehicle that was driven approx 50,000 kms. Drove another 5,000 kms or so as I have winter tires on for Canadian winters. Was told these are almost done by my dealership and decided to throw them out as I was unwilling to take the risk here. Am surprised and disappointed as I would expect these to come with some kind of tread life warranty. 55,000 kms is not much with light driving (we average 10,000/year total kms including winter tires). Would appreciate some sort of response from Michelin.

Great Tires Love Michelin.

I left Goodyear and bought these tires 4 years ago and have loved these tires. We pull a Hitchhiker Discover America 300FK all over the US and these tires are quite and very smooth riding. I have worn the outside edge off as I have used the recommended 60 front 70 unloaded tire pressure. This is under inflated so now I run 70psi all around unhooked and 70 front 80 rear when hooked to the RV. I am getting a new set tomorrow.

I ran these on a 2003 ...

I ran these on a 2003 2500 HD Chev pickup. I got 101,000 plus miles on the first set which I put on right after I bought the truck new. Put the second set on in the spring of this year. Hope the truck lasts as long as the second set of tires. I've never gotten this kind of mileage on a tire before. My wife drives a tahoe and as soon as the factory tires wear out I'll put Michelin LTX-MS on it so she will have a safe long lasting tire on her vehicle. Its doesn't get any better than this.

Just Purchased 10/25/2019

I have purchased Michelin Tires since the 1970's, everytime I have thought... hmmm, wonder if there is a better tire and purchased another brand... I paid for it up the b.... I'm reading all the bad reviews, so I will set a baseline here & now. I will definetly be back if these tires don't live up to the warranty. But, I can say all my Michelin Tires from the past exceded the warranty, my other car, a Celica, the Michelins have out lasted the warranty. The ride for the last 6 days have been very nice so far, just like always.

Very Pleased With Performance

I was actually thinking about the comfort and the smooth ride I get with these Tires and I like them enough to buy again. The cracking and appearance of My old one's is rushing Me, I'm only at 50% or maybe 40% tread, I would be able to get another Season or 2 at least.....it'd be worth the money then.

CReaM, we'd suggest that you have the tires inspected by a Michelin retailer in your area to get more info on the cracking. Call us at 866-866-6605 from their store. One of our Consumer Care Team members can assist you.

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.

Very Pleased with my Michelin Latitude Tour HP

Factory equipment on my 2013 Lexus RX350. Tires were rotated on a regular basis, and I also monitored tire pressure. Replaced them at 56,000 miles, and dealer said I could have easily gone another 5000 miles on the set. Reason for replacing was super good deal at Lexus dealer on new tires. I had several choices of manufacturers/brands, but was very satisfied with how the previous set of Latitudes performed/felt on my Lexus. So had another set of Michelin Latitudes placed on my car, and very pleased to be riding on them.

No More Jeep Death Warble!!!

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.
