I bought the LTX M/S for my 2006 Sequoia. The Speed Rating and coeffiecent of drag were most important to me. I was pleasantly surprised at the comfort of the ride (very smooth) even over bumps (speed bumps at 30mph). I put 40,000 miles on it before I traded the vehicle in with lots of tread depth left. Never a problem less one flat from a screw.

Great tires for a great price..

I use these tires on my 4 x 4 for every day use, traveling and work. These tires are fantastic as they are a replacement from other Michelin tires. Received 15% more use out of the tread than their rating suggested. Great ride and reliability. These tires are perfect for year round use, rain, snow, and traveling long distances.

One of the best sets I've owned

Bought these tires 60k+ miles ago. Been very happy with them. We have used them in snow, ice, rain, dirt and dry desert roads. Family camping trips, cross country road trips and daily drives. They have held up great. I'm on here planning ahead for my next set, so figured I'd leave a review.

Very good wet and dry traction. Great braking and roadholding and handling until the tread is literally gone. Good tread life, but not what I might have expected for the price and considering the vehicle is a midsize SUV that is driven mostly by my wife. The vehicle tended to wander more at low to medium speeds with these tires than with the previous (OEM) set, but that wasn't noticeable at highway speeds. They are very quiet and smooth for a light truck tire with an M/S rating and a rather agressive tread profile.

Overall I have been very satisfied with the M/S I have it on two 4Runners a 1995 & a 1998. I have noticed the tendency to wander when on traveliing down grooved freeways but on regular freeways and roads they track beautifully and the wearability and durability of these tires has amazed me. the first set I ran on the 98 4Runner ran over 100,000 miles without incident.

These are the best tire made

These are the best tires made. I bought 4 LTX/MS in 2006 for my Xterra. I just notice today that I will have to replace them within the next 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I pulled the paperwork and they were installed @ 223,000 miles. I now have 385,000 miles. Do the math folks, Yup, 162,000 + mile and riding like new still. AWESOME. See what routine rotating and air pressure checks will do for you. And yup I can back it up with detailed paperwork. Only wish I could afford to buy these again. This kinda sounds like a commercial.

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!

Excelent tire

I have a pair of these on my 99 ram 2500 (24v cummins) i do over the road transport hauling a enclosed car trailer, I rack up lots of miles and often go from new england through the mid west, sometimes to california and back, so i cover lots of terain, and tempatures, the tires have NEVER failed me, the ware evenly, grip well, ride smothly even under the stress of a load, and when the trucks empty they handle high speeds well ( the truck has some mods on it invcluding a smarty tuner) I will definatly buy another pair of these tires when they warout, i read some other peoples reviwes on this tire, it's a shame some have had dryrot problems, I have some very minor dryrot on my side walls, but not enough to compromise the tire, I find that using armorall on them frequently seems to help as it has rubber conditioners, though i don't these other peoples individual stories, I suppose it could be location, or lack of use, but in any case, I can only speak to my experience which has been great 5 stars from me!

My new LTS M/S look great too!

My new LTS M/S tires look much better than the sample picture Michelin has posted. The sidewalls have a nice look and the tread looks better. If these tires get the miles that Michelin claims, and if all the positive reviews I have read are true, than I may be one happy new tire buyer. I will let you all know if I get the 60k+ miles in a few years.

Great Tires

I have ran the tires on multiple trucks and suvs. Primarily blacktop miles on back country roads and interstate. Excellent traction in rain and snow. Sticks to road with excellent mileage, usually 80,000 plus miles. Little costly but worth the investment. Tires will last twice as long as other brands.
