Last Christmas we drove ...

Last Christmas we drove from Dallas to Abilene in a blinding blizzard. It tool us 13 hours versus a normal 3 hours. We encountered blowing, drifting snow and extreme icy conditions. The ruts on the interstate were 4 to 6 inches and on stretches the ice was more than a little slick. We had NO problems with traction and made it through places that even big rigs with chains were having problems. The combination of these tires and our Honda Ridgeline are remarkable and I would definatley buy them again. Thanks Michelin Man.

Tires - not so great!

I purchased tires in Novmber 2021. Immediately took a trip. The truck now rides very rough with lots of vibration. Went back to place of purchase. They rebalanced. Did not help issue. Went back second time. They rebalanced again. Because I was so unhappy with tires, they replaced two of them. I still have the rough ride and vibration. I personnel think the back are bad tires. Would not purchase this tire again.

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.

Tires only lasted 30K miles

Have these tires due to 70K mile warranty. At 20K miles, noticed extreme wear on the front. Realized had not completed rotation. Began rotating tires, but to no avail. Tread worn completely across entire tire on 2 of them. 2 remaining tires also low on tread. Likely 10K left on those. Have bought at least 5 other sets of Michelin’s (LTX MS & LTX MS2). All lasted at least as long as the warranty. Not these. Tire dealer said nothing can be done for warranty. Pretty disappointing. These tires are not cheap.

Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.

This top of line really the top of line!

The LTX M/S tires provide the greatest control for all-weather driving conditions to me. And, this is substantial since I drive a small truck. The rear-end is quite loose, especially when the roads have precipitation on them. The tires provide the traction that is needed for the city traffic which I have to endure. I would and have recommended Michelin tires to family and friends. Michelin has a life-time customer! Thanks for making such a great product!

This is a great tire!

I bought these a month or so ago and love the quiet ride and just recently had a 4 hour drive in snow with about an inch or so on the road. They were a champ. Was able to go 50 - 55 mph with no slipping and sliding. was able to pass just about every car on the road with confidence.

I have driven 79,811 on a set of michelin LTX M/S tires with very even thread wear. I have noticed some sidewall cracks in all 4 tires and the traction is not so good on wet roads now due to thread wear. I guess it is time for a new set. I will buy the same tire again. JR

Another Great Start With New Michelins

I just bought a new set of Defender LTX M/S tires for my 2018 Lincoln Navigator. They are quiet, even on typically noisy concrete. We'll see if they perform as well and exceed the tread life warranty like my multiple sets of LTX M/S2 tires did on my Ford Expedition. Tire rotations every 5,000 miles make a difference in making the tread wear more evenly.

Great Tire

This tire was highly rated in all the research I did, and it hasn't disappointed. I've had these about 9 months and in all weather conditions they've provided excellent traction, while wearing well. That's a huge change from the stock tires that came with my Highlander, which wore out in 40,000 miles. Sure, the better tread is a little louder, and it cut a mile or two off my gas mileage, but I'm glad I bought the LTX tires and will be looking at Michelins for my wife's car next.
