Best tire I've ever had on my vehicle.

I bought these tires in 2005 and still have them on my vehicle. They have been very good. They do great in the snow, rain, and mud. They have been used on a vehicle that takes me to work everyday. I will be purchasing new tires again in the near future and plan on buying the same tires again.

1.5 years in and now the loudest set of tires

I owned Defenders previously, until 2018 when I replaced them with these current (2011 Highlander SUV). And now at speeds over 40 mph the oscillating sound is so loud and driving me nuts. I read a review when I bought these suggesting they are loud and now I believe it. Don't buy these -I don't know why Michelin can't design a quieter tire for SUVs. They have always been my go-to brand for my sedans.

Consistent performance in all conditions

After 80,000 miles on the original factory LTX M/S there was no doubt about what my replacement tires would be! The next generation of the LTX M/S have not disappointed. In fact, they continue to exceed my expectations in all driving conditons. From rain to snow and the little off-roading I do, these tires handle everything! What I am most impressed with is the braking distance. I feel very safe and secure in my vehicle with these tires.

Best kept secret in 4wd tires

This tire is the best one on the road for me. I have over the years taken this tire way, way off road and often I've pulled 4x4's with more aggressive tires than these out of situations they could not get through on their own. I drive a stock 2013 Ram 1500 4wd and these tires not only take me wherever I want to go but they ride smooth. I often go in sand, snow, mud, rocks, you name it and this tire is gonna get you through. It takes a long steady foot on the accelerator but these tires will find a way to get you through. Love my Michelin Truck Tires.

Only tires I've driven past warranty.

The tires that came with new Silverado lasted about 27,000 miles. I was sorely disappointed, so I bit the bullet and bought the ltx m/s and I haven't looked back. I had owned a set of Michelins on my old car and they lasted a long time but I just wasn't sure how well the truck tires would do and they were pricey. I'm not off roading, just hwy miles but I managed to make those babies last PAST the 80,000 mile warranty. So I figure I actually saved money by not replacing cheap tires 2 or 3 times. They have a smooth ride and are much better than the old ones on water. Snow and ice... not so much. But we only have a few days of nasty winter weather so I can live with that. I love these tires. Now on my second set.

I have two vehicles and ...

I have two vehicles and after retiring price became center to many everyday purchases and tires became a pricing issue; over and above performance. After I purchased a set of tires through an on-line discount for my BMW I felt all my future purchases would come from a tire discounter with focus totally on price. However, before I had to purchase tires for my Landcruiser I was faced with a potential deadly situation, a blowout on the freeway. As I drove on the freeway in the center lane of a three lane freeway at 60 miles an hour I ran over something on the road that caused a loud noise under the vehicle. After traveling about � of mile I started to feel the frontend of the vehicle vibrated and at the same time two 18 wheel trucks pulled next to me on the right and left sides. The vehicle continued to vibrate and the tire began to fail. As the trucks continued passed the tire blew completely out. Due to the structure of the tires I had on my vehicle I was able to maintain complete control of my vehicle and those tires were Michelin LTX M/S P275/70SR16. I can give a firsthand report - Michelin tires are lifesavers.

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.

I am 61 years old and I have only used Michelin tires for all of my vehicles. These tires last and last and continue to provide a smooth ride through out the life of the tire. Last winter we had a tremendous snow storm and even thought my tires had 70,000 miles on them, they performed like the were new on my 4 wheel drive. This spring I replaced the set with another MTS set and expect no difference in the ride nor mileage for years to come. Thanks Michelin for making such great tires!

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.

Motoring on Michelin Since 1960

We have been in business since 1933 and have used Michelin tires on our business vehicle since 1960 as well as a our personal vehicles. They have always exceeded our expectations regarding longevity, superior quality and excellent ride. Riding down the highway, little or no "tire noise". We carry a large amount of weight hauling our product. Michelin tires handle well with the load while still providing a smooth ride and safe braking.
