Do not buy this tire

Bought these tires in 2008 for my 2000 4runner Limited. Was told that I could easily get over 60,000 miles. Now in 2012, I have to buy new tires, after 37,400 miles. Proper maintenance was done to the tires by the warehouse where they were purchased. Warehouse where I purchased the tires is, again, telling me that the new Michelin LTX M/S2 is very much improved. I do not know if I can trust Michelin or the warehouse where I bought them.

Michelin Tires Are The BEST !

Nothing drives, rides, or last like Michelin. I have been buying Michelin tires forever. I travel the SE and have found after I wear out a set of Michelins 3 times its time to replace the truck. 80 - 90 k miles per set. You pay for them but the value is there compared to other tires plus you can't beat the ride with a stick!

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.

These are the best tire made

These are the best tires made. I bought 4 LTX/MS in 2006 for my Xterra. I just notice today that I will have to replace them within the next 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I pulled the paperwork and they were installed @ 223,000 miles. I now have 385,000 miles. Do the math folks, Yup, 162,000 + mile and riding like new still. AWESOME. See what routine rotating and air pressure checks will do for you. And yup I can back it up with detailed paperwork. Only wish I could afford to buy these again. This kinda sounds like a commercial.

I run these tires on my coversion van. The van is mainly driven for traveling with family and friends. I seriously would not trust their safety to any other tire. My love for Michelin tires goes back quite a few years to the days I drove an overloaded sales van weekly on the road.

These tires are the best

I have 166,000 miles on my GMC Envoy and I have only used Michelin tires (2 sets, That's 85,000 miles for each set) I am going to buy another set before winter. They make the ride the best, and you cant beat the mileage you get on these tires. I have nothing but good things to say about Michelins.

I purchased these tires, ...

I purchased these tires, because of their long tire life, being quiet while driving on the freeway, and the brand name standing behind them. As for the tire life, I have driven, on the freeway mostly, 55K miles and still have tread left (not hitting the wear marks yet). Traveling daily on the freeway, tire noise becomes an issue with me. I enjoy listening to some good tunes on the radio and not having to listen to my tires howling. These tires don't make tire noise, so they won't interupt the music at all. Finally, Michelin tires stand behind their tires. I've owned many trucks and sport cars in my life without having any issues with the tires that I have purchased. Michelin tires have given me peace of mind even with my family in my car or truck. Yes, these tires are that good!!!

We were on a cross ...

We were on a cross country trip. The passenger car tires were not holding up to pulling a trailer. With a sense of urgency we purchased new tires. Had never purchased Michelins before as I thought they were over rated and over priced. The tires were the only thing in stock in my size so the purchase was made. Putting the LT tires on the van greatly reduced the side to side sway and increased overall stability and safety. Even with the trailer unhitched there was a marked improvement in handling. The van now has a bit harsher ride due to the LT tires. It is worth the truck like feel for better stability. Being light in the rear I had always had problems in rain and snow. Now my wife is not afraid to drive the van on wet roads and light snow. Rotating on a regular basis I was able to get 80,000 miles out of these tires. And yes they were replaced with the same tire.

Safe and Comfortable

I have used Michelin tires on all of my vehicles both passenger cars and light trucks. Their performance in the rain and snow are exceptional. On the highway they are quiet and very responsive to road hazards. From an economic standpoint, these tires last for many miles thus the cost per mile is very low. I always recommend Michelin.

Michelin LTX M/S

The Michelin LTX M/S tires on my truck have been absolutely fabulous. They have worn really well. Obviously, I have kept them rotated as prescribed, but that goes for any tire. I would highly recommend the LTX M/S to anyone. They are well worth what I paid for them.
