In rain the tire catches ...

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!

Most durable and longest lasting tire

This is the most durable, dependable and longest lasting tire available for any and all applications. I still have a set of them that are over ten years old , they show hardly any wear after sixty thousand miles and I only changed them because of concerns of their age. ( I still have them as spares )

I came to know about ...

I came to know about Michelin LTX's while I was the shop forman at a large dealership dealing with alot of complaints about front tires whitling off on the edges. After checking front ends for alignments issues still had problems with competors tires replaced them with Michelin LTX and problem went away. I belive it is due to the excelent sidewall constrution of the tire preventing tire rollover, this also is why Michelin is the only tire I will put on my vehicles because the better the sidewall constrution, the better the ride .

Guess Mine are Magnetic

Don't know how,don't know why....but I can't get these tires to last. I've used nothing but since buying my Ridgeline in 2006. Seems right after I get a new tire, it finds a new nail. My wife and I both travel the same roads ( we work at same place just different shifts ) different brand,no problems

For me, it's only one brand : Michellin.

I'm being driving since I was 19 years old and I experienced with several type brand of tires and I can honestly say that for me, nothing better than Michellin. This set of 4 tires ( LTX M/S ), FOR MY SUV; it's the best ride confort and sastisfaction I have experienced and I will not change tire brand: For me, Michellin only. Thank you.

love these tires

I am female, and dont know a whole of technical stuff about tires, but I do know I am really happy to have these tires for my Tahoe. they seem to make the drive quieter and when we hit a slick patch of road while driving in very cold temps the tires dug in and we did not skid. made me feel very safe.... a big plus-they look very cool on my Tahoe, and after driving on them for a several weeks the still look brand new.

Perfect

265 70-R16 on 2012 Nissan Frontier 4x4 Crew Cab. Less rolling resistance, less than 1/2 previous tire noise, perfectly smooth ride, excellent traction, when accelerating, slowing, or turning. Highly recommended. No other companies tires are even close.

good ride and grip. they are weather checking on the sidewall by the tread though. very good when tread is new. the last 1/8 inch they are worn and i can spin the drive tire on wet easy and slide on corners. the tire is only average when it is worn down over 2/3 i would say. new though they are super

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.

Purchased for Jeep Wrangler

Superior difference in handling when on the road and at high speeds. Very smooth and better handling than the replaced Michelin tires that came from the factory. They look good and a bit more aggressive. So far very pleased with the tires and extremely happy with Discount Tires in Sioux Falls, SD. Our rep, Todd, went way out of his way to help us with the cost of our tires.
