I like the tire

I was having trouble with left turns in wet conditions with our 2005 Chevy Trailblazer. The tires on the vehicle would not grip the pavement in this turn. This is the third set of tires for the vehicle and I no longer am having the car slip in wet conditions. I am in need of replacement tires on my Chevy Impala soon and will most likely use a Michelin for this vehicle as well.

I bought the LTX M/S for ...

I bought the LTX M/S for my 2006 Sequoia. The Speed Rating and coeffiecent of drag were most important to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride (very smooth) even over bumps (speed bumps at 30mph). I put 40,000 miles on it before I traded the vehicle in with lots of tread depth left. Never a problem less one flat from a screw.

Great Tires!

My new truck came with Michelin tires when I bought it.. I was impressed by how long they lasted (almost 72000 miles. I probably could have gone more miles but decided with the traveling I do it was time. These tires are definitely "tread worthy" and that is why I just bought another set.

Loud tires

I replaced these same tires on my 2012 Toyota Highlander; this time, they are so loud that you cannot hear the radio. What is the difference from when I bought these tires 3 1/2 years ago? I figured it was just me but now my wife and son-in-law have driven the car and everyone has the same complaint It was too loud. You notice it at about 35 MPH and up. I have these same tires on my 2015 Tacoma Truck and don't have this noise at all. Is there a chance these are mounted wrong?

Being in the car business ...

Being in the car business for nearly thirty years there is no tire for a light truck like a Michelin. I would have customers request Michelin tires on their new trucks. Ride, wear, and style are just a few reasons for purchasing. Once you own a set of Michelin's you'll never settle for less

C'mon Michelin.....You can do better!!!

Always enjoyed Michelin tires. An avid fan...Live in So Cal. Have a bought new 2015 Ram 2wd std cab, 6'4" bed truck. Installed a new set (4) of the 275/60-20 Defender LTXs @ 39,241 miles in June 2017...... Excellent handling, very low tire noise at all speeds and outstanding performance in wet weather. Tires have been rotated every 6K to 8K miles in a figure 8 pattern. 90 + % of the total miles are highway miles. Proper air pressure always maintained along with no alignment issues. Tires wearing evenly across the entire tread width.......Now have 71,050 miles on the truck. and a total of 31,809 miles of these Michelins. One of the tires has a center tread depth of 5/32 remaining while the other three have 6/32nds of remaining tread. Surely not going to come close to the 70K mile expected tread life for this tire. Might get 50K to 55K miles.......From other review blogs I have read, pre-mature tread life seems to be a common complaint for this particular Michelin tire, while a very few do get their nearly 70K and over 70K miles.....This means that the rubber compounds mixed during manufacture are not consistently durable enough. More durable compound mixture is needed.....C'mon Michelin. You can do better......I do not want to go with another tire brand.

The Best Tires Only

I only use Michelin tire on my cars and SUV. I know they cost a little more than others. Theirs time when my money would rather for me to buy a cheap brand but I always know that the michelin tires will perfrom and last for the money. Dad always told me it only takes a little more to go first class so spend extra on one`s you love. That`s why I buy Michilen tires for our vehicles.

One of the best sets I've owned

Bought these tires 60k+ miles ago. Been very happy with them. We have used them in snow, ice, rain, dirt and dry desert roads. Family camping trips, cross country road trips and daily drives. They have held up great. I'm on here planning ahead for my next set, so figured I'd leave a review.

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.

Great Value!

I replaced the factory tires at 25,000 miles and they are going strong with plenty of life left after 70,000. I definitely will be buying Michelin again when I replace the tires on this truck and the Michelins on our second car. Great traction in year round driving and quiet ride.
