Good Traction,Poor Noise Level

These 18 inch Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires came OEM on my 2017 Ford Escape, It quickly become apparent that on anything except completely smooth pavement they generate fairly high levels of road noise. I only have 10,000 km on them and the wear and traction both seem good to date,however due to the noise levels I am looking for a quieter set of tires to put on. I was fairly surprised at having to do this as I've always been a big fan of Michelin partly for the smooth and quiet ride they usually provide, however I can not recommend this particular tire by any means.

LTX M/S - Quite simply the best!

I have been on Michelin's for years and was glad when the non-Michelin dealer tires had to be replaced on my Lexus RX. My local Lexus dealer recommended the LTX M/S and I had excellent prior experience with Michelin LTX tires on other SUVs. Handles great navigating Colorado's mountain passes, even during major snow events. I have pulled other vehicles out of snow banks and ditches as these tires really grip in all kinds of conditions. Very comfortable, smooth ride on dry roads and over long trips. A great all-season tire for paved and dirt roads. Coming up on 30K miles and they still look like-new with even tread-wear. I am diligent about rotating and balancing at recommended mileage intervals.

Not as good as they used to be

This is my third set of LTX/MS tires. the first two were great, over 60,000 miles, but this set has sidewall cracks after 25,000 miles. I don't hit curbs, so I don't know why they are forming. I want to buy a new set, but need more than 25,000 miles for the price I paid.

Long term LTX M/S owner

I have been buying LTX M/S versions since the early 1990s and have them on most vehicles I own. Just purchased a set today for my Explorer and noticed the difference right away from the Master Craft that were on there when I bought the truck a couple of months ago.

Best Truck tire

Only tires for my Ford F-350. Best tire that provides handling, traction, mileage and apperance for my truck. Worth every penny to know that they will preform in all situation that I'll take my truck. Drove in a heavy down pour towing my fifth wheel camper with no problems at all. Looking forward to a long service life from these tire because the last set had over 60,000 on them and I have them saved for a quick spare if one of these new ones failed.

Perfect for most drives.

These tires do pretty good in most conditions (dry wet snow dirt). They are comfortable and pretty quiet. The only issue I had was when it was wet, and I had to accelerate quicker than usual the front tires word spin for a second but breaking in the wet conditions was fine.

IMPRESSIVE

I have Latitude Tour HP tires on my CRX, Mileage 67,892. and they still grips the road, wet and alittle snow.. Given the tread is edging on "need to be replaced", and I live in the northern snow belt, I'm going to replace them with the same tire. Why mess with perfection.

2nd Set!

Have a 2008 Ford Edge that had the Lattitude Tour HP tires. Just bought another set after 48,000 miles. We could have gone the full 55,000 miles but decided to changes before winter weather. Look forward to another 50,000 miles out of this new set. New tires ride like a dream, looking forward to our Thanksgiving 1,200 mile road trip!

Pretty disappointing tire

Have had these tires for 6 years now on a 2002 Nissan Xterra. Got them for the mileage warranty and the supposed superior traction. These tires have about 30,000 miles on them and only have 4/32nds left of tread. Definitely did not make the 70,000 miles. They never got any flats though. They have been decent tires in wet weather and snow, but nowhere near dedicated snow tires. They were fairly quiet brand new, but got much louder as they wore down. After 6 years and being on a car that is outside almost all the time, they have developed a good amount of age cracking which is expected from really any tire that sits out in the sun, rain, heat, and cold like they do. For the price of the tire, though, you can get other tires that are nearly the same for much less money. I don't think I'll purchase another set of these tires.
