I have had 2 sets of ...

I have had 2 sets of Michelin LTX M/S tires, size P215/70R15 on my 2000 GMC Safari RWD van. The first set lasted more than 60,000 miles, and I was so pleased with the ride quality, even wear, traction under all conditions, and handling characteristics that I replaced them with an identical set when the tread wore to about 4/32 and the second set is just as good as the first. The van handles snow, icy roads, and rain with ease, and the vehicle rides smoother than with the original equipment Uniroyal Tiger Paws. These tires can be a little bit noisy on some types of concrete (they sing a little) but this is an uncommon occurrence, and overall they ride smooth, quiet, and secure. I will buy another set without question when the time comes. Neither the Safari or the tires show any signs of wearing out. I strongly recommend these tires for any light truck use, The outlined white letters add a touch of sportiness and set off the polished aluminum wheels nicely.

Great handling and smooth,quiet ride.

We have the LTX/MS2 on our Excursion. We have had the tires for two years now. The ride they provide is smooth and quiet. The handling on wet and dry surfaces is excellent. We launch a 24' boat occasionally and the traction on the boat ramps is great. We would definately recommend these tires for any truck.

Buy only this tire!

This is the second set of these tires I have put on my Ridgeline. The first went well over 80k miles and were riding like they were from day one! Rotate, balance and enjoy the superior ride, traction and overall performance of this tire with complete confidence. Whatever you drive, you'll appreciate even more so sitting on these!

quiet and comfortable

I have had these tires for about 2 years. I have driven from Illinois to California 2 times. They are quiet and comfortable. The tread looks nearly new after all those miles. I rotate and keep proper air pressure and the tire does the rest! Thank you for making my SUV a pleasure to drive.

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.

In rain the tire catches traction In stoping and take off as if it goes below the rain to stop or take off with a squeal as if it were on dry pavement. Haven't ever experienced another tire to do the job in wet conditions as if it were dry. I am 59 yrs. old and have never experienced another tire to do this. Other tire companys shouls want to learn this from you all!

Excellent Tire!

We own 3 vehicles (1 truck & 2 SUV's) & use the Michelin LTX M/S on all of them. We rotate them every 6,000 - 8,000 miles & have always gotten many more miles out of them than is listed. The LTX M/S is outstanding in the snow! We live in a rural area with lots of hills & curves. My husband's job requires him to be on the road before snow plows ever clear our back roads & he loves the traction they provide. Very smooth ride too!

Michelin Makes the Best Tires Hands Down

I've been running Michelin LTX M/S on my '89 F150 for over 15 years now and have had zero problems with them. I just put on my third set and actually ran the last ones a bit too long. Even though they were severely sun damaged and had little tread left, I had no problems with them on the road regardless of running with a load, trailer, or empty. I wouldn't want to run any other brand of tire. You may be able to buy a cheaper tire, but there is no other tire that will give you this kind of performance and reliability. After working in a tire store for many years, I only want to buy Michelin products! I've seen too many issues with other brands to take a chance on saving a few bucks.

I have put 3 sets of LTX M/S tires on 3 of my vehicles. These tires are unbelievable; they wear great, aren't noisy and get really good wet and dry traction. My extended family has also been using these tires and has had great experiences with them. You cannot go wrong with these tires.

Best tire ever owned!

An exceptional light truck tire! Good handling, great ride, outstanding durability. I got over 86,000 miles and almost eight years of trouble free service out of the original equipment LTX M/S tires that came on my '06 Honda Ridgeline. Could not ask for more from a tire - replaced them with an identical set.
