My lifeline to home and work

I leave home most the time very early before the sun comes up and travel 70 to 100 miles one way almost every day when I'm in town and reliability is very important to me and my family. When I'm out of town my wife's truck has the same tires and it makes us sleep at night knowing we can depend on our travel with Michelin tires. Win lose or draw we appreciate the efforts by Michelin to produce a dependable and reliable product. Thank you from me and my family

Great Tire for Jeeps too

Over the years, I have allways preferred Michelin Tires on all my cars. Recently I put the LTX M/S 33 RWL tires on my 2005 Jeep Unlimited. I wanted to improve the ride comfort and still have a semi-agressive tread for those Jeep Moments when you need it. These tires do (improve the ride comfort), and do (push mud and water around) when you want them to. The LTX M/S also stands square and tall (looks good doing it).

After using another brand tire for 'wet weather' use I tried the LTX M/S tire and found the results fantastic. Much better traction on wet pavement, grass and the ride was improved. The tire performed much better and looks great! I plan to continue using this tire on my truck and tell everyone about the good traction, wear, looks and ride.

Noisy Tires

Bought a set of Defender LTX M/S tires about 6 months ago. When I first drove with them I noticed that they were very noisy. Had them rotated and balanced at 6000 miles. I discussed the noise problem with the dealer and he had a technician drive my vehicle after the tires were rotated. The technician said the tires sounded quiet to him. I had him ride with me and he said he could hear the tire noise but considered them to be quiet, "quieter than most". I have never had tires this noisy. I would not recommend these tires if you want a quiet ride.

Worth the cost

When I bought my '01 Tahoe in '07 it had 163K miles. It had LTX/MS all the way around but 2 were worn and 2 were only half worn. I replaced the worn ones and just this year replaced them again with around 255K miles on the truck. I have never had a tire last as long and wear as evenly and drive as well as these! I was hesitant to replace these at first, but I am so glad I did. I have bought a lot of tires over the years, but always considered Michelin to be too expensive. If they last as long as they are supposed to, they are well worth it. The other 2 on the truck were replaced about 50K ago and still have plenty of life. I have no doubt that they will also get to that 90K mark with no problem.

These LTX M/S tires gave me over 70000 miles on our RX300 - the only reason I replaced them was due to their age (over 6 years) - they still had over 3/32 tread remaining. Of course they were replaced with the same tire plus I also put a similar set (LTX M/S2) on my pickup. Simply the best.

Solid and Proven Tire for the Long Run

This tire was recommended by my retailer on the basis of many satisfying customers over many years and it reputation for long wear. I was inclined to buy a more energy efficient Michelin like Latitude for gas savings but was told the LTX's wear noticeably longer and have winter traction advantages so I went with them and will likely spend more on gas and less on tires. I was not able to calculate break even points but know that I lost 1mpg compared to the last tires (not Michelins) on my vehicle. Overall I am very satisfied. I have 25000 miles on them on my Highlander with 9/32nds of tread left so it looks like I can expect about 75000 miles.

Fantastic mileage

I've been a michelin buyer for over 40 years and these are by far the best tires I've ever had. They came new on my 2008 Honda Ridgeline and they now have 79,125 miles on them and I just ordered a replacement set and I hope to get the same mileage out of the next ones. Great job Michelin

Vibration? Get these Road Force balanced, TRUST ME

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

We have the Michelin LTX ...

We have the Michelin LTX 245/70-16 on a Nissan 4x4 Pathfinder that replaced the stock 255/65-16. Had the tires on the vehicle now for years and 40,000 miles. The tread looks like it will last another 40,000 miles and wears very even. The sidewalls are extremely rigid and must be puncture resistant. We live in a area with lots of potholes and new construction, so nails and debris is common on the road. My wife gets nail punctures very often and I don't so I have to think the deeper thread blocks and inner lining of the Michelins must have something to do with it. Where we live when it snows they don't clear the roads, so I only drive the Pathfinder then because the tires have really good grip on show and icy roads. They are way better than the OE tires, I am very impressed. If there is any negative complain I would say they do ride harder than the OE tires, they are very quiet but you do feel the road surface more.
