Michelin forever

Michelin has been my tire of choice since 2000. New Minivan came with michelins, great selling point. At 80k miles, did not think at the time, needed to spend alot on tires for the now old van. Was I sorry. I traded in old van with very noisy tires. Bought 4 runner could not wait to get michelins on it! Now have 60k on this set, I rotate them faithfully. no sign of needing to replace yet, but when I do no matter how old the vehicle I will buy michelins for every reason. low to no noise, wear, great composite hold the road great in ALL michigan weather. even have michelin on motorhome! 7 years on that set and still going strong.

One of the best I ever owned!

Had a severe problem with handling & sway with the OEM tires. When I had a sidewall blow out I decided on replacing all 4 tires. I did so with your product & haven't regretted my decision since. A great product with a great company that I've come to trust for both reliability & safety.

Big Decrease in Quality

This is 2nd set of Michelin tires. The first set whined loudly and didn't have a sure flat fit on the road. (I did drive 800ish miles, did not improve) The warranty put a second set on. The second set rides better but they still whine. I would think for the price of Michelin tires now, that I could get a decent set. I got 55,000+ miles on the previous set I put on my Chevy trailblazer in 2010, And they were half the cost

Best tires I ever had

Back in 2005, I bought a set of these tires for my Honda Element. At the time the odometer was at 50,000 miles. Now I am looking at tires again for the same vehicle, which is why I am even on this website. I now have 140,000 miles on the Element. 90,000 miles on a set of tires can't be beat. I will definitely stick with Michelin!

I have purchased (2) sets ...

I have purchased (2) sets of LTX MS ( l set on a 1990 Jeep cherokee laredo, and on a 1997 grand cherokee laredo. Both sets have been excellent, with the set on 1997 jeep still with more than half the tread after 40,000 miles. I intended on getting these for my wife's 2007 jeep grand cherokee laredo, but unfortunately I couldn't afford them at the time. Also, the tires on the 1997 have been on for 8 years. I have recommended these tires to several of my friends, and I know least three have purchased the LTX MS. These tires are outstanding for all season, long mileage, and quite/smooth ride.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles

I think these tires ...

I think these tires should receive 5 stars but the price are on the high side. When I go into tire stores I have to hagel with them for my Michelins. I have three trucks and my daughter has two. All but one has Michelins on them. When it's time for the Explorer I'll put Michelin on it. I like not to keep buying tires, I'd like to buy them once.

Very Noisy and rough ride

I bought these tires less than a year ago, I have put about 4,000 miles on them and I really dislike them. There is no smooth ride and they are so noisy it's frustrating. I was told by the tire shop to give them some time since they are new but there has been zero change. I don't even like driving my vehicle anymore because of the tires. I really wish I could say otherwise but unfortunately aside from the warranty I would never recommend these to anyone.

These tires have performed well!

I knew the Michelin name and respected the value and legacy. These tires have performed above my expectations and then some! They show little wear after 20k and will last well into the 50k mile mark. I would recommend Michelin as the last tire you will ever buy. These are my first set, and I am very pleased!
