I installed a set of ...

I installed a set of Michelins on my pickup when the original tires wore out at about 64,000 miles (I'm not a "hard driver", so I tend to get good mileage out of tires). I drove that set of Michelins for approximately 65,000 miles. These Michelins now have only 8,000 miles on them, but they are as excellent as the previous set. I bought my first set of Michelins in 1971, and with only one exception, I've bought only Michelins since then--and I've never had a faulty Michelin tire.

Best tires I've ever owned!

I've had 3 sets of these tires and get about 85,000-90,000 miles out of them. They still have plenty of thread on them but I change them out because of the mileage on them. I would and have recommened these tires to anyone and everyone who wants a great tire for the money!

Best Value in Tires

I purchased this set of tires in 2006 and they have provided excellent service. The mileage and traction these tires provide is the best of any other tire I have owned. This set of tires has 60,000 miles plus and are still going. I regularly tow my boat with this SUV and found there traction both on the road and at the boat ramp to be very good.

LTX M/S is a very good tire

I bought the Michelin LTX M/S tire at a local tire dealer several years ago. I don't remember how many miles the tire was suppose to last but when I took them off I had added 94,000 to the truck. After I took them off a friend put them on a trailer. Thanks P.S. They were very good on a wet road.

Nothing but......

I will use nothing but this brand of tire. For the last four new cars that I have bought, I immediately switched out the tires to my LTX M/S. Primary reason....the safety factor. These are the greatest for everyday driving in rain, snow, etc. I can drive with confidence in inclement weather.

Great tire!

These tires are excellent and I simply can't say enough to express how impressed I have been with them. They were the original tires on my 2009 Honda Ridgeline when I bought it, and at a little over 106,000 miles I have just replaced them with a brand new set of four. When the technicians removed the old tires they had worn very evenly and I probably could have gotten another few hundred miles out of them before they really needed to be changed. When I bought my truck I had a job that had me driving all over the state of Minnesota in all seasons including a very harsh winter. The tires never failed me in snow, on ice, in rain nor on hundreds upon hundreds of highway and back road driving. The ride on them is also very smooth; I can't count how many people have told me that my Ridgeline rides like a sedan. Overall, these are excellent tires that I would recommend to anyone. I just put a brand new set on my truck and am looking forward to another 100,000 miles!

Awesome

We put in a lot of driving and what's most important is the smooth and quiet ride we receive from Michelin tires. The tires wear more evenly than most tires on the market. I have to say, the previous Michelin tires (same brand) gave us a longer life; same driving pleasure, but wore out sooner.

My local service station ...

My local service station talked me into another major brand of tire to replace my worn LTX Michelins. I developed a wobble in the front end of my Chevy Tahoe that I never had before. They balanced the tires, rotated them, did an alignment, shocks, etc. and could not cure the problem. Finally they replaced the tires with a new set of the same brand and I still had the wobble. I finally took my truck to a Chevy dealer and they told me the tires were out of round. I replaced the tires with new Michelin LTX M/Ss and never had the problem again. That was 70,000 mile ago and they're still in great shape. I'll always use Michelin. Great tires!

C'mon Michelin.....You can do better!!!

Always enjoyed Michelin tires. An avid fan...Live in So Cal. Have a bought new 2015 Ram 2wd std cab, 6'4" bed truck. Installed a new set (4) of the 275/60-20 Defender LTXs @ 39,241 miles in June 2017...... Excellent handling, very low tire noise at all speeds and outstanding performance in wet weather. Tires have been rotated every 6K to 8K miles in a figure 8 pattern. 90 + % of the total miles are highway miles. Proper air pressure always maintained along with no alignment issues. Tires wearing evenly across the entire tread width.......Now have 71,050 miles on the truck. and a total of 31,809 miles of these Michelins. One of the tires has a center tread depth of 5/32 remaining while the other three have 6/32nds of remaining tread. Surely not going to come close to the 70K mile expected tread life for this tire. Might get 50K to 55K miles.......From other review blogs I have read, pre-mature tread life seems to be a common complaint for this particular Michelin tire, while a very few do get their nearly 70K and over 70K miles.....This means that the rubber compounds mixed during manufacture are not consistently durable enough. More durable compound mixture is needed.....C'mon Michelin. You can do better......I do not want to go with another tire brand.
