Best Value in Tires

I purchased this set of tires in 2006 and they have provided excellent service. The mileage and traction these tires provide is the best of any other tire I have owned. This set of tires has 60,000 miles plus and are still going. I regularly tow my boat with this SUV and found there traction both on the road and at the boat ramp to be very good.

Safe, Quiet Tire

I have 45K miles on these tires and they are great tires. They ride quite and I feel safe with them in bad weather. They have been thru heavy rain, snow, ice and handle well. The tread wear is even and I keep tabs on the tire pressure. I know I need to replace soon and will probably get the same ones. Hoping the prices come down...

My originals lasted for 90K miles

These tires were original equipment for my 2009 Honda. My current ones have 90k miles and are finally being replaced. Super traction in the snow, I never had a problem, and I live in NE. That is 5 hard winters of driving and I can count on one hand the number of times my vehicle traction control actually came on. Remarkable. Another storm coming, time for some new sneakers for the truck.

ROAD NOISE

I am a big Michelin tire fan I think they are great tires until I bought these tires they were great for the first 3,000 miles but then it started the ROAD NOISE ! it drives me crazy. I bought them for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland it was the worst thing that I could have done. They hold the road great in all types of weather but the noise drives me crazy.

My LTX M/S tires are ...

My LTX M/S tires are superior in every way to the previous 'other brand' tires that I had on my GMC Canyon pickup. The LTX M/S give an incredibly smooth ride for a light truck tire and they are quiet. They also seem to have a reasonable rolling resistance as my fuel economy remains up where it should be. I'm very happy with my decision to mount these on my truck.

Purchased these in the LT ...

Purchased these in the LT 245/75 R16E for a GMC 2500 HD.These replaced the factory tires with 48,000 miles on the truck.Was very pleased with every aspect of this tire.I tow a 12,000 lb. fifthwheel camper aprox. 2,000 miles a year and also work in the road construction industry statewide in Wisconsin so most every road condition possible was thrown on these tires.Tire wear was very uniform with little to no cupping on front tire edges when rotation time comes,one time past due at 9,000 miles.Michelin passes with flying colors with this tire performing this well on a truck that weighs 7,000 lb. empty.

After 20K, they get real squirrely

After 20 years of buying Michelins, 1st time disappointed, very disappointed. With 20K of miles over 2 years, you won't want to drive these in wet or snow. Normal inflation checks & rotation was done. It was just amazing to me the dramatic decline in performance after 20,000 miles. Didn't notice any above average road noise & the Honda Element is a gas hog for a 4cylinder engine & 5-speed, so didn't notice gas mileage improvements or decline.

A perfect tire for my Element.

Michelin is my go-to brand for all things automotive. The LTX M/S tires I am currently using have met or exceeded all of my expectations for my Element. They provide good traction, a comfortable ride and seem to be wearing very well. I did not rate wear life in the review below, because I haven't yet put a lot of miles on these tires. As yet, I have not experienced any negatives regarding these tires. As such, I expect to remain a faithful Michelin consumer for years to come.

We have the Michelin LTX ...

We have the Michelin LTX 245/70-16 on a Nissan 4x4 Pathfinder that replaced the stock 255/65-16. Had the tires on the vehicle now for years and 40,000 miles. The tread looks like it will last another 40,000 miles and wears very even. The sidewalls are extremely rigid and must be puncture resistant. We live in a area with lots of potholes and new construction, so nails and debris is common on the road. My wife gets nail punctures very often and I don't so I have to think the deeper thread blocks and inner lining of the Michelins must have something to do with it. Where we live when it snows they don't clear the roads, so I only drive the Pathfinder then because the tires have really good grip on show and icy roads. They are way better than the OE tires, I am very impressed. If there is any negative complain I would say they do ride harder than the OE tires, they are very quiet but you do feel the road surface more.
