Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

These tires have gone 72,000 miles and I am currently debating buying new ones even though my mechanic says I am nuts and will probably get at least another 20,000 out of them.I have nothing but tremendous praise for the Michelin engineers . I have been buying Michelin tires exclusively for over 28 years and have to say as a former tire salesman , NOTHING BEATS A MICHELIN !!!!!!!

will buy this product again

The LTX M/S tire is as good as it gets. The mileage is great along with the traction and water shedding all the way to the minimum tread wear bar. I have bought 3 sets over the years and the mileage was from 90,000 to a high of 103,000 miles on 2 different pick up trucks. I was very skeptical of the wet traction since the wear rate was very low, but to my surprise, the traction never left. Thanks for finding the perfect compromise of wear and traction as I know that having both has been a mystery for years.

These tires are my 4th or 5th set of Michelins on my trucks which are used to tow 5th wheel trailers. For me dependability trumps cost. These tires have never failed me. I trust Michelin tires with my property and with my life. Thank you for a great tire.

Excellent tire for my ...

Excellent tire for my 2001 Tacoma 4x4. Very quiet when new then went through a period of slight tire noise then back to unnoticeable. Traction has been steady throughout the first 45000 miles. Will replace with this identical tire if or when it becomes necessary. Considered this tire for my new Tacoma but purchased the Latitude Tour. Happy with that choice so far however only 3500 miles on that vehicle and tire.

Michelin 67,000 and still quiet and safe

Michelin LTX/MS came stock on my Ford F150 and we were so impressed with how quiet the truck was. As time went on I kept looking at the condition of the thread thinking at 50,000 miles I'll need new ones. The tires were rotated and rebalanced twice. I have 67,000 miles now and they can't last forever, I'll buy 4 new LTX/MS at 72,000 miles. This way I wont have to pay for rotation and balance again and I'll have a continued Michelin safety factor.

Bought these for my wife's explorer sport '02. wanted something to be able to handle wet roads as well as slight off-road conditions. Very pleased at the ride quality, low road noise and wet, lick, road handleing. Took it off-road and was very impressed. Massive mud puddle with no wheel spin at all. I feel very safe with my wife behind the wheel now.

Amazing tires

This is my third set of the LTX MS tires. My daughter and I both have these on our SUVs my husband has the AT2's on his Excursion which he absolutely loves! I also have a blazer with the LTX MS , and have Michalin passenger tires on my Honda Accord! When I go to the tire shop for new tires they always try to sell me a different brand and I stop them in their tracks and say I only want Michelin tires! They have a smooth comfortable ride and they last a very long time well over 60,000 miles!

These tires continue to stand up to worste road conditions with quiete smoothness and ride comfort on my suburbans and now on my pickups. They perform extremely well in both rain and snow here in western Wa. where moutain highways and roads get deluged with both. I have used these tires while also living in the heat of Florida as well as the radical whether variations of Michigan. The heavily worn/noisy roads of western Washington have reduced the safe life of these tires to about 60-65,000 miles which is still more than double of most other tires here in wa. Michlin LTX M/S are the only tires I trust.

Great tires great wear

My Honda Ridgeline came with Michelin LTX/MS on them from the factory. After almost 66K miles they were still passing inspection. These are great tires for me and my truck. I just purchased a second set and if I get another 66K miles all is good. The rating was for 60K and we surpassed that. The ride is great and those few times I am off road or in the snow, the perform great. I am one happy customer!
