On my Sierra 1500, I ...

On my Sierra 1500, I managed to get 105,000 miles out of my first set. On the second set, I achieved 85,000 on the set, but only replaced the two rear tires. The front two appeared to have 50% tread left. I drove the back two over inflated for too long after hauling a heavy load and inflating the tires to compensate. Great Tires.

Got a good price on these ...

Got a good price on these tires over the phone. Salesman switched me to a house brand. We could not get the vibration balanced out after 3 times including a "road force" balance. I insisted he take them off and give me the Michelins for which I originally asked. We installed the Michelins and with one or two tiny weights, instead of all the heavy ones on all the wheels, I have the smoothest ride anyone could ask for. It made me remember the words of a friend who was a service advisor for a car dealer who told people with balance problems, "do yourself a favor and let me sell you some Michelins. In every case it solved the problem. I will ONLY use Michelins!

My First Michelin's

I have a higher mileage 2011 Ford Expedition 155K. I've had all kinds of tires on this vehicle. I was at my local tire shop and they recommended these LTX Defender's. Been running them about 8000 mi now. To my surprise they were just great in the snow. Wet traction also excellent. This truck is not an AWD it is rear wheel drive, with a dash switch. So it tends to break loose in the wet. There was a HUGE improvement in wet traction with the LTX's. Braking also excellent. But what I really like is that these run so quiet. I drive most time with the window open and I think this is the quietest tire ever on this vehicle. As a side note one of the guys I ride motorcycle with owns a auto repair shop. Just so happened in discussion he mentioned he had put the same tire on his wife's truck and he thinks they are great tires.. The only thing we both didn't like is the price. They are not crazy expensive but probably $40+ more then a "Good Tire" from the competition.

Great OEM Tire

These tires are OEM on my Honda Ridgeline. With previous vehicles I have usually changed the original tires when they were coming up for replacement. I have been very impressed with the Michelin tires and will look to get another set at the appropriate time. Handling has been very good and our area has had an abundance of rain, which has been a great test of stability during wet conditions. The LTS M/S tires have been excellent in this regard. Thanks Honda for using these tires on your vehicle. For the first time in 5 vehicles, I will be keeping them.

Great Tires

I recently bought four LT-MX tires for my 2011 Honda Pilot. The Honda dealer and tire dealer recommended the Latitude tire due to its smooth ride, comfort, mileage, and low noise. However, my occasional driving requires more grip, so I chose the LT-MX. My decision was largely based upon †he positive comments made by previous owners of these tires for similar vehicles and types of driving. I noticed an immediate difference in the ride from the original factory tires. The ride was smooth, steady, and not noisy at all. I plan on getting another set, when these tires are no longer serviceable.

Best Tire Ever

I was looking for a smooth riding quiet tire for my SUV. I got that and more. comfort was a big deal and so was road noise. I drive on open road a lot and long trips. I tow a boat with my SUV. the LTX M/S looks great with it's raised white letters. handles great wet and dry roads. braking is great. I was most surprised by it's traction in snow. living in the north east thinking I would need a more aggressive tire to handle the snow. not the case. I made the rite choice. the only thing that I would say that was bad about this tire. was the little cracks around the bead of the tire as it aged . dry rot . LTX M/S A+

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.

Much improved ride

Needed new tires for my 2018 Honda CR-V and wanted to improve the ride quality. These tires nailed it! Much improved in both the ride handling, smoothness, and lower road noise inside the vehicle. Also simply feels more sure-footed in the rain. Looking forward to seeing a difference in winter snow.

Best Tires Ever Purchased

Absolutely the best tires I have ever purchased. Not only do they handle the road surfaces, they wear evenly and for a greater mileage distance. Others just don't measure up. They outperform their competitors hands down. Better tread design and lettering also gives them a hands up as far as appearance is concerned. On the road or dunes as I travel for fishing, you can rely on Michelin. Rain, snow, mud, or sand, these tires can handle quick accelerations or sudden stops.

I got over 70,000 miles on my M/S truck tires and a lot of that was pulling a 3,000 lb utility trailer. The tire has an excellent ride and provided great traction in heavy rain or off road. I have replaced them with the newer M/S2 and expect them to last just as long.
