Excellent all-round tire!

The Michelin MTX M/S is a great all-around tire. After 53,000 miles on these as stock tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, and after extensive on-line research, I decided to replace them with the same tire. They are excellent on the highway, and give a superb feel and control. They also do well in the snow/sleet/rain that we get here in Maryland in the winter. I also take them on a yearly off-road excursion in the Outer Banks, to a beach house that is only accessable by driving on the beach 8 miles each way - this is not a hard-packed beach like Daytona, but just the beach - have never gotten stuck and am sure that I won't. They are a little on the pricey side, but I would rather spend a few extra bucks on tires than on an insurance deductable because I saved a few bucks on tires and got into an accident. Just this past weekend I drove up to New Jersey in a terrible dounpour most of the way, and I felt confident that me and my family were just fine with these tires - no hydroplaning issues and a solid feel. Would definately buy these again. I am a huge fan of the brand - great tires (I have Pilot Sport A/S Plus's on my 04 TL, and they are the best tires I have ever owned).

Simply the best

LTX A/T2 LOAD RANGE E; IS THE BEST TIRE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED. I have had them on my Chevy Duramax for 3 month's now with over 3,000 miles on them. At first i thought that they mite have some road hum to them, I WAS WRONG. There is none! I use my truck for a lot of thing's _towing_{up to a 32 ft. in closed car trailer}_snow plowing_,and hauling just about any thing.They have excellent traction+ stopping in rain, snow, and even ice. I have not lost any fuel consumption at all, and they ride excellent---- Things that are not great ?---" NOTHING"--- : JUST THE BEST:

I took delivery of a new 2004 Chev Tahoe 4WD. Before I picked it up I paid the difference to upgrade to a set of Michelin LTX's. This is not my first time on this model of tire and auto. 89,000 miles later I went back for a new set. The ride even as they get some miles on them is great. They always rebalance beautifully. I'll go for Michelins for my ZO6 Corvette when I wear out the original tires it came with.

Great tire for certain vehicles

I purchased these tires for a Escape Hybrid in November. These tires replaced the Michelin Lattitude Tour series (which is no longer offered in this size) based on Michelin's recommendations. These tires are essentially a light truck tire with extra load capacity, so the ride quality is notably harsh and there is more tread noise at low speeds. The total rolling resistance is considerably higher, lowering the Average Fuel Economy on the Escape by over 8 MPG. This tire is a good choice for light trucks and larger heavier SUV's, but a poor choice for smaller SUV's or hybrids.

After 15 years of ...

After 15 years of "Michelin only", thinking I should be more frugal, I ran through two sets of a competitor's brand, never coming close to Michelin's performance or longevity! Before leaving for our summer vacation '10, I put a full set on our all-wheel drive SUV, and the difference was AMAZING ... driving was a pleasure, like a million little fingers were gripping the road as we drove cross-country through Virginia's scenic highways ... the ride was far more comforatble, and fuel economy actually increased! My earlier Michelin sets had always had good tread up to the milage forecast ... not so with "brands X" ... I'm so glad to be back in safe hands ... clearly, my Michelin tires are still the best investment I can make for my family's transportation.

Best tires made

I have been a Michelin tire user for many years. I have put michelins on two Suburbans,two Chevy Silverados,two Jeeps and a Ford Expedition. The tires wore as advertised and regularly exceeded the mileage noted. That's all I use and will continue to ride on Michelin rubber.

ROAD NOISE

I am a big Michelin tire fan I think they are great tires until I bought these tires they were great for the first 3,000 miles but then it started the ROAD NOISE ! it drives me crazy. I bought them for my 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland it was the worst thing that I could have done. They hold the road great in all types of weather but the noise drives me crazy.

I have purhased several sets of the LTX/MS tires in 10 ply over the past several years. I have had trouble free use for 70000+ miles on each set. I was even able to give the used tires to someone who needed tires, but was unable to afford to purchase any, They also were able to use them for additional trouble free miles. The tires are more expensive than many other brands but I have considered it well worth the cost to feel secure with the quality of the tires.

I mounted these tires on a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. The ride is incredibly smooth. I have been a loyal Michelin customer for just about as long as I have been buying tires. These tires provide the ride and durability I have come to expect from the Michelin Man.

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.
