One Heck of a Tire!

This is the second vehicle that I have used Michelin Tires on and I trust them and feel secure with them on my vehicle. My home is in the woods, with horrible road conditions in the winter and spring, and I have to have a tire that I know won't let me down. I love how they ride even on the highway when I go see my grandchildren. I know, and feel very confident that I have a tire that is dependable and will hold up to my roads! I live on a fixed income and when I buy these tires I know that I am getting the best for my money! I highly recommend these tires to everyone.

I really like the tires. My vehicle is a 2006 Buick Rainier 2WD. It came new with Michelin Cross Terrain Tires. I replaced the original itres at 46,000 miles! These tires ride just as good to me as the original Cross Terrains! I love my Michelins. I commute 43 miles one way to work every day! I want a dependable tire!

Pretty disappointing tire

Have had these tires for 6 years now on a 2002 Nissan Xterra. Got them for the mileage warranty and the supposed superior traction. These tires have about 30,000 miles on them and only have 4/32nds left of tread. Definitely did not make the 70,000 miles. They never got any flats though. They have been decent tires in wet weather and snow, but nowhere near dedicated snow tires. They were fairly quiet brand new, but got much louder as they wore down. After 6 years and being on a car that is outside almost all the time, they have developed a good amount of age cracking which is expected from really any tire that sits out in the sun, rain, heat, and cold like they do. For the price of the tire, though, you can get other tires that are nearly the same for much less money. I don't think I'll purchase another set of these tires.

These tires performed well both on and off road. I am able to get my pick-up truck into wherever I want to go with it. The tires are quiet on the highway and wear mileage is higher than stated in the warranty. These are excellent tires and I will purchase them again.

Great tires great wear

My Honda Ridgeline came with Michelin LTX/MS on them from the factory. After almost 66K miles they were still passing inspection. These are great tires for me and my truck. I just purchased a second set and if I get another 66K miles all is good. The rating was for 60K and we surpassed that. The ride is great and those few times I am off road or in the snow, the perform great. I am one happy customer!

We were on a cross ...

We were on a cross country trip. The passenger car tires were not holding up to pulling a trailer. With a sense of urgency we purchased new tires. Had never purchased Michelins before as I thought they were over rated and over priced. The tires were the only thing in stock in my size so the purchase was made. Putting the LT tires on the van greatly reduced the side to side sway and increased overall stability and safety. Even with the trailer unhitched there was a marked improvement in handling. The van now has a bit harsher ride due to the LT tires. It is worth the truck like feel for better stability. Being light in the rear I had always had problems in rain and snow. Now my wife is not afraid to drive the van on wet roads and light snow. Rotating on a regular basis I was able to get 80,000 miles out of these tires. And yes they were replaced with the same tire.

High mileage is an understatement!

Mine are the old style ltx and 6 years old with 87,000 current miles on them. The vehicle came with lattitudes that wore out at 77,000. I rotate myself every 5,000 and keep track of the correct rotation in a book. They show slight signs of sun wear and I'll change them before the next winter with an amazing amount of tread left. People still ask if I just bought new tires. Best handling, noise and wear tires I've ever owned!

After driving on Michelin ...

After driving on Michelin LTXs for the past 12 years I can honestly say that no other tire comes close in wear, durability, traction, comfort, and minimal road noise. One time, I switched to a competitor's tire because it was rated higher in braking and in wet traction. That competitor's tire was rated for 60,000 miles and at 25,000 miles they had to be replaced due to wear. I have consistently gotten 60,000 miles out of a set of Michelin LTX's with rotations and balancing every 6,000-9,000 miles. There is no other tire manufacturer making a tire that is comparable to the LTX in longevity. The only area the LTX is slightly weak would be in muddy conditions, although driving in muddy condition is not an everyday occurrence. I will continue to buy Michelin LTX tires "because so much is riding on my tires". Thank you for making a superior product.

Smooth ride, excellent steering response.

Bought these tires about 4 months ago. They have about 5k miles so far. They are so much smoother and better steering response than the Toyos that came on vehicle. I have had two other sets of these on other vehicles in the past. I’m sure these will deliver the same excellent quality my others have. They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

Not sure of the quality control

Last week I had 4 new defender ltx tires mounted and balanced (P265/60r18). About 100 miles later the whole rear end of my truck now shakes like crazy when traveling between 55-60mph. I drove right back and they tell me that my rear 2 tires have "factory defects". I'm having them replaced tomorrow.
