3 Sets in and Still Counting

Just installed my 3rd Set (counting the OEM that came with the truck). of LTX/MS on my 06 Ridgeline I have 85k on the vehicle. Avg. about 40k per set. I use them year round and live in VT. These tires have done the job for me. They are wearing well, quiet and provide good traction in all the conditions I use them for. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and I consider this tire a good investment.

Most dependable tires on the market.

I won't buy any other tires. The Michelins that I replaced on my GMC Sierra truck had 101,000 miles and had plenty of tread remaining. The new Michelins are amazing and the ride is even better than before with the 3 year old set. I'm a Michelin tire fan for life. Getting ready to put a new set on my GMC Yukon XL.

long time lover

I have used michelin tires for the past 40 years ! always been satisfied, even after a couple of mishaps that the dealer took care of right away without any questions, ( My dealer is great ). The last 3 or 4 sets of michelin tires have taken me down the road at least 60,000 miles and up to 80,000. I expect this new set to last 80,000 plus miles. Thank you very much !

Worth the price

After purchasing another brand, I turned around and bought the michelins like I should have. Smooth and extremely quiet ride. I got 80,000 miles from my last set. Gravel roads don't chew up the tread like on other brands. Worth the money in the long run.

I had two trucks with these tires. A Dodge Ram half ton pick-up and a Ford Econoline Van. Both had above average wear with proper maintenance (I rotated and check air pressures along with wheel balancing). Comfort and handling was excellent on local streets, the highway, snow storms, you name it.

Worst tires I have owned

I purchase these at the recommendation of the local tire shop. Shortly after installation I drove a few hundred miles mostly on the highway and there was significant vibration at speeds of 65-75 mph. This made for a miserable trip. I immediately went back to have them rebalanced again when I returned home. This did not make the ride any better so they attempted a third balancing and the ride is now worse. Additionally, if I don’t drive for a few days the tires get out of round and then there is significant vibration at slow speeds until they warm up. I never had these problems with the previous two sets of tires which were also much cheaper. These are the worst tires I have ever purchased.

I recently replaced another brand of tires that had been put on my 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee before I bought it used in 2008. I could not wait for them to wear out. I could tell the difference before I was out of the parking lot at the tire dealer. I now have an increased smooth and quiet ride. I am a long time Michelin fan--again, I am not disappointed.

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.

I always like to us Michelins. Currently being unemployed I may have to settle for less. My last Michelins lasted on my 3/4 ton truck towing a large 5th wheel trailer for over 52000 miles and still had enough tread left to get a trade in on new ones. I've put them on every truck I could. They are the very best. I wish I could put them on my current Expedition!!!

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.
