Get what you Pay For

Are there cheaper tires you can buy? Sure. But the smooth, quiet ride you get (especially in an SUV) with these tires, makes all the difference. My tire dealer actually tried to offer me a cheaper tire, but I've had the others - there is no comparison.

Stop Looking

I bought these for my 04 Range Rover....19inch and Went with the 60 series....Fantastic tire...fills up the wheel well....they corner without noise....They stick to dry pavement with all the traction my Rover can use. They never break loose on dry asphalt. Deep snow is fine as long as it's not hard to push through. They offer great traction on snowy roads mind you I have all wheel drive. They are super quiet and I have tried many brands....These are the best...anyone says different they have bad suspension, or they are not capable at discerning a difference. In two years the new tire rubber bits have just worn off. Off road...slick rocks, moderate sand, 6 to 8 inches of mud...river crossing, hill climbing...truthfully...good enough for 90% of what I do. I may go with the AT2 but unfortunately I have to buy new 20 inch rims. They don't make them in 19inch....COME ON MICHILEN MAKE 19INCH PLEASE!!! I prefer the larger side wall...60...65....They are quieter...they ride smoothly and they have more cushion when you are off road!....MAKE THEM PLEASE....255/60/19 AT2...Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

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.

The Best Tires Only

I only use Michelin tire on my cars and SUV. I know they cost a little more than others. Theirs time when my money would rather for me to buy a cheap brand but I always know that the michelin tires will perfrom and last for the money. Dad always told me it only takes a little more to go first class so spend extra on one`s you love. That`s why I buy Michilen tires for our vehicles.

Bumpy ride, low mpg

This is my second purchase of these tires , the quality has changes or these are defective. The whole car rides like its quivering and is bumpy. I have a phone attached to dash and if I try to do a video driving its a jiggly mess, wasn't with the last tires.Something is seriously wrong , got the tires re- balanced, still a issue. I would like these replaced by the company.

Rumbles at higher speed

These tires have a definite rumble at speeds over 70 mph, I have had the tires rebalanced 2Xs and frontend alignment, and new brakes, still a problem, when I put my 3 year old snow tires back on, the rumble is gone and much smoother ride than the Michelin brand

I wouldn't buy anything else!

I have been running Michelin LTX M/S tires since the purchase of my first 4Runner in 1998. They are quite, hug the road in all weather conditions, long lasting and smooth driving. They are without a doubt the best tire I have ever run. I won't buy anything else.

Much improved ride

Needed new tires for my 2018 Honda CR-V and wanted to improve the ride quality. These tires nailed it! Much improved in both the ride handling, smoothness, and lower road noise inside the vehicle. Also simply feels more sure-footed in the rain. Looking forward to seeing a difference in winter snow.

Best tires for a Honda

The first set came on my new vehical and they lasted over 90,000 miles and I am on my second set and at 145,000 these tires just last for ever! I will not have any other tires on my vehicals other than Michelins. The LTX M/S are one of the best snow tires I have ever owned ! I have never been stuck in snow or mud since I have had these tires on my vehicals!

Solid Tire for F150 (Heavy Duty Payload Package)

I purchased my first set of Defenders about 3 years ago. 245-75-17s (with "E" duty rating). Long story short, I got 90,000 miles on my first set of Defenders. I towed as much as 6,000 pounds on these tires, and loaded upwards of 3,200 in the bed of the truck on these tires. I was impressed, and continued to remain impressed. I could have reached 100,000 on this first set of Defenders but I do have my limits. I recently upgraded to larger tires for my truck. 285-70-17s. I stayed with the Defenders. So far, so good.
