Splits in sidewall

For the second time one of my tires has split on the sidewall. The last time Michelin said my husband must have run over something. Now the second tire has also split on the sidewall. Don't know how these got all of these good reviews. We will never buy another Michelin since they seem to be junk!

I do mechanical design ...

I do mechanical design work and I am an avid mountainbiker; as a result, I know the importance of product quality and functionality; espesially where the "rubber meets the road". Two things matter on my SUV: tires and battery. I have tried many different tires and nothing compares to these. Long tread life, dependable hold, and precise control. Put these on and you are set for years to come.

Best SUV and Light truck tire ever....

If you need to buy tires for your SUV or truck, go ahead and buy the best. The LTX M/S is absolutely the finest SUV tire out there. They will outlast any competitors tire hands down. Ride quality is phenominal. The few extra bucks you spent on the LTX M/S tires will be insignificant 5 years down the road. Get the best the first time. I'll never buy any other brand SUV tire.

LTX tire noise

I have always been a Michelin fan. The recent set of LTX's were installed at time of vehicle purchase in 2019 and got me 90,000 miles. I purchased a new set in May of 2022, they have roughly 10k miles on them. After the first rotation they began to howl. I expected a little but not like this. I took the vehicle to point of purchase and inquired about the noise. We rotated front to back but the noise remains. It's been too long and too many miles for a tire adjustment from the store so i'm about to pay additional money to swap out the tires for a new set but after reading other reviews about the noise i'm afraid my money will not be well spent. To me it seems Michelin's improvement to an already great tire is ruining my enjoyment of driving and the security of riding on the best. Not sure what to buy now.

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.

Not impressive

It's a month and I am not impressed. I switched from Michelin Premiere which were very nice. Essentially it's like switching from nice and smooth ride to one in which you feel every vibration and bump on steering wheel. 1. The tires are louder than expected based on reviews. 2. I keep feeling vibration, even at very low speeds. The person in tire place checked and says everything looks right. It started with tire change so it is definitely tires not anything else in car. So this is definitely not comfortable drive tire. Probably good for trucks, but not other cars.

Probably the best tire ...

Probably the best tire out there. I live on a dirt road which becomes a mud road when it rains and snows. No problems getting through when conditions are rough. This tire beats them all for mileage ratings. Smooth on passenger cars and durable on SUV's. Don't change this one at all! I would like to see this tire in more sizes.

You get what you pay for.

The absolute best tire on the market in my opinion. I have always been a fan. Like many other drivers I have tried other brands when deals seemed to good to pass up, however, I have always returned to Michelin. The old saying, "you get what you pay for", is very true and aptly applies. These tires have the best ride and are extremely dependable. They will always be my first choice when new tires are needed.

I have had 2 sets of LTX ...

I have had 2 sets of LTX M/S tires on 2 different vehicles and have loved them. Each time I switched from the tire that came on the vehicles to the LTX I experienced an immediate improvement in the ride comfort. I also have had excellent results with wear and performance. In fact I specifically put these on my current vehicle because of my prior experience and they did not let me down despite being a different size tire. They were just as good as before if not better. They have been on my current vehicle for over 50000 miles and are still producing outstanding results. I will continue to use these tires or perhaps the M/S2's in the future.

I am using on a Mercedes ML 320 CDI This is all wheel drive and they are not wearing smooth,I think I will go to the Lattude type next. I believe I bought the wrong tire for the vechicle. I thought they were the quiest tires ever until the first rotation and then they begin to roar and wear uneven, they are good tires but I think they are more for a truck.
