Great Tires

About 18 years ago I purchased my first set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Jeep Cherokee and was pleasantly surprised to find they were the best tires I ever owned. Great traction wet/dry & on/off road, quiet ride, and best of all long mileage. After purchasing a GMC Yukon I wasn't happy with the factory installed tires. They were noisy, poor traction off road and wore out quickly. After installing a set of Michelin LTX M/S I am very happy again. Based on my experience with tires I will only purchase and recommend Michelin tires.

These tires are great.

I travel in winter in northern Michigan and wanted a more aggressive tire than the touring tires that I had been using. These are rated a little lower in comfort and noise but I needed the traction and was willing to sacrifice a little. Now that I have been driving on them most of the winter, they are providing better traction in mud and snow than I expected. Also, I don't notice any increase in noise or decrease in comfort. I would recommend these for everyone.

Excellent

Best tire brand ever. I've purchased at least 5 sets over the years. It started when I couldn't get the vibration out one of my trucks, my tire guy said try Michelin tires. That solved the issue and I got 90000 miles out of that set. It's the only tire I'll ever buy for safety and peace of mind.

Installed 17 Years & Still Great Tread & Running Smooth

Had 4 of these put on my truck in 2003 and all still have good tread and have had ZERO issues. Changing these out for 4 new Michelins X LT AS just because of age. Decided to go with the other model due to the reviews here and I hope it will not be a mistake.

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.

Great Tires!

My new truck came with Michelin tires when I bought it.. I was impressed by how long they lasted (almost 72000 miles. I probably could have gone more miles but decided with the traveling I do it was time. These tires are definitely "tread worthy" and that is why I just bought another set.

The Michelin LTX M/S is the best tires I have had on my GMC Truck. The performance in heavy snow was remarkable. Nothing stopped the truck. I rotate tires and check air pressure on a scheduled maintainence and the tire shows no sign of premature wear. I very happy and confident having them on my truck.

89000 miles and tread still great

I just bought another set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Ford Explorer. My last set lasted more than 15 years and 89000 miles and still had 7mm or original tread left. Good running for all those years. No cupping or other problems at all until recent slow leaks developed. I have been buying only Michelin tires for the last 45 years and will never buy another brand.

I am old enough to remember bias belt tires and bought my first michelins in 1964. I have never bought any other replacement tire since. Back the friends would not believe me when I would tell them my tires had 50,000 miles on them and they still had tread left to spare. I once had a puncture that ressulted in a blow out at high speed and I retained control of my car and I attributed that to my michelins. I can't say anything but they are the best tires in the world. I believe that to be a fact. What else can I say. Any Mchelin for any purpose on any day. Slim

Fantastic Tire

We live in Colorado so a good snow tire is essential. My wife drives a 2007 Honda Pilot FWD. The Michelin LTX tires are so good in the snow, I don't feel the need to switch to a 4WD for our next vehicle. They plow through the snow easily with confidence. We received 14 inches of snow one day here in the Front Range and we had to travel to Loveland for a school outing. I was a bit nervous on how the car would handle with that much snow. I was amazed at how the tires and car handled with that much snow on the road. Not even 4WD would have made a difference. I highly recommend the LTX tires as we've gone above our expected tread life by 15,000 miles and the traction in wet/snowy weather is four stars.
