BEST TIRES EVER.

I have had Michelin tires on my last 3 vehicles. I usually change tires at 70,000 miles but Michelin tread looks like it could go 100,000 or more. The last set I had put on had to be patched on 2 of the tires due to road debris causing a flat. never knew they had ever been patched, still had 40,000 miles put on them and then I sold the vehicle. I highly recommend Michelin tires since they never seem to lose their edge.

Switched from another name brand

I bought a certified preowned Highlander and it came with new tires from another company. After a 6 months or so of not doing a good job of keeping the tires properly inflated it developed edges on the blocks of the tread that made the most annoying sounds while driving. I put the Michellins on and it reduced the noise level dramatically. I was very satisfied and they lasted a long time too.

Pleasantly Surprised

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

Awesome Tire awesome treadlife

I have run Michelin tires on the last 3 vehicles I have owned. I have purchased less expensive tires trying to stretch a dollar, and have discovered the cheaper tires do not stay in balance and do not have nearly the same tread life. I have had one road hazard experience while in my truck with an 800 pound Harley Davidson in the bed. I hit a 2X4 lost from a vehicle in front of me while traveling in excess of 60 MPH, the result was an immediate loss of tire pressure and tire running flat. I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road safely, crossing through 2 lanes of California freeway traffic. Upon inspection of the damaged tire I discovered that the 2x4 had gone through both sidewalls of the tire, even with that the beads stayed attached to the rim allowing me to safely stop. I am sold on Michelin tires and will never purchase another brand.

love the tires

I use my LTX M/S tire on my everyday truck and just love them traction is superb in all conditions and the road noise is almost non existent on these. The mileage on the tires is excellent as well and with proper rotation they run true for the life of the tire. The only con I can think of, is of course is the price on them but you get all that you pay for for sure. I have them on both of my trucks and just love them.

At presentI have a 4 ...

At presentI have a 4 wheel drive Avalanche and 2 wheel drive Avalanche. For the past 12 years I have not run anything but Michelen tires on my vehicle. I am on long road trips in my job and I love the quite smooth ride I get from my Michelen tires. when I go in the rough with the 4 wheel drive I have no problem with traction in mud or snow . I live in the Ozark mountains and all of the back roads I travel or flint rock gravel and I have never had a sliver punture my Michelen tires.

Now I know how Fred Flinstone felt

These are the worst tires I have ever owned. I have another set on my Tacoma which I bought a couple of year’s ago. Those were the best tire I have owned. This new version vibrates and shakes horrible between 65-75 miles sn hour. I had them rebalanced which did nothing. Regret the day I bought these. I was always a Michelin guy but I am rethinking that now.

Absolutely the best

I have had two sets of these tires and they are great. My first set came on my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. I traded it in still with the original tires on it at 91,000 miles in 2010. The same tires came on my 2010 Ridgeline. I just replaced those original tires after 101,000 miles. I bet you can guess what I replaced them with. Well worth a couple extra bucks for an extra 40,000 miles or so from competitor tires. A great product!!!

These are the best tires ...

These are the best tires at any price point I have tried. They were initially purchased for my personal vehicles and I now order them for our fleet vehicles in the oil field. They have consistently exceeded the estimated mileage life cycle. The majority of the time they are replaced due to age. They are properly maintained and rotated but it does not effect the wear as much as other tires. They are not cheap but with these...you get what you pay for in life.

I have loaded over twice ...

I have loaded over twice the recommended capasity in my 2500 ram on numerious occassions. When I changed out the first factory set of Michelin's, they had over 85,000 miles with out a problem. My second set suffered the same treatment and were changed out when the odometer hit 180,000, without a dought these are best set of tires I've ever owned,
