Starting Off on the Wrong Foot

I bought 4 tires on 12/11/18 for my Toyota Tacoma. These replaced a set of LTX MS 2 tires that had about 72k miles on them. I have a lot of history with Michelin tires between our two vehicles and I always had great success with them. But this set has really disappointed me so far. I had the tires mounted and balanced and on the way home I experienced a noticeable shudder. I took the truck right back to the dealership and they balanced all 4 tires again but to no avail. Another set of 4 tires were ordered and installed and I still had the problem. The dealer ended up measuring the runout (roundness) of every tire and found two tires from the first set and one from the second set that did not roll true. So, from the eight tires, he found 4 that rolled true and put them on the truck. That took care of the problem. How fortunate I was to have a dealer who was patient and truly interested in giving me a good product. I had to go back to the dealer 4 times to get it right and the dealer had to eat the labor cost for the last 3 trips. I sure hope this is not a sign of how well these tires will perform over the long haul. Really disappointed in Michelin quality control on this one.

I would buy this tire again,

just got the tires for my Suv and its been a month they seem to do a fine job getting through the snow , stopping and starting is a breeze. I never paid attention to the performance of a tire, but after go through my 4th set on the same suv I thought I would try a different type and so far I love em.

long lasting tire

I replaced a set of big lug mud and snow tires that were horrible in the snow, these tire bite the snow and ice and brought back confidence on the snowy Vermont roads I travel in the winter. Just about every drive home was in a snowstorm, these tires perform well.

Just Purchased 10/25/2019

I have purchased Michelin Tires since the 1970's, everytime I have thought... hmmm, wonder if there is a better tire and purchased another brand... I paid for it up the b.... I'm reading all the bad reviews, so I will set a baseline here & now. I will definetly be back if these tires don't live up to the warranty. But, I can say all my Michelin Tires from the past exceded the warranty, my other car, a Celica, the Michelins have out lasted the warranty. The ride for the last 6 days have been very nice so far, just like always.

Nice But Didn't Last

I purchased these tires for my Tahoe in 2016 because they came highly recommended. I've really liked their performance over these years with the gentle driving I do, mostly city -short distance to work, errands, and one trip to Colorado. However, I've only driven 38,000 miles thus far and am being told I need to replace due to tread wear. I understand the recommended replacement time period, but it seems the tread should have lasted longer than this. Am I missing something?

LTX M/S wears like iron!

I put a set of LTX M/S tires on my 1994 chevy pick-up ten years ago. I have plowed snow, towed a camper, towed a boat and towed a dirt bike trailer. The tires have performed great under all of those conditions. They have good traction without being noisey on the highway but the best thing is they wear like iron! The tires have over 100,000 miles and still have 4/32 of tread left. I'm in the process of rebuilding the truck for my son so it looks like its time for a new set of Michelins.

Very Noisy and Rough Riding

I have had 3 sets of Defenders on my 2006 4Runner and I they were great tires for 210,000 miles. I decided to buy a set for my 2018 Grand Cherokee. I made a expensive mistake. They are very loud and very rough riding. They have changed the whole demeaner of my SUV. I have only had them for a week and about 500 miles but I have talked to the dealer about changing tires. He suggested Latitude Touring which was the OEM tire on my Jeep. I only got 29,000 miles out of those. I really need to find a solution. Can I change out for the Premier series? Thanks

Best tires I ever had

Back in 2005, I bought a set of these tires for my Honda Element. At the time the odometer was at 50,000 miles. Now I am looking at tires again for the same vehicle, which is why I am even on this website. I now have 140,000 miles on the Element. 90,000 miles on a set of tires can't be beat. I will definitely stick with Michelin!

Hulk, there could be a contributing factor to the wear on the tires. We recommend to take the vehicle to an authorized retailer in your area for an inspection. Utilize our Dealer Locator to find dealers in your area. Give us a call once the tires have been inspected and we will contact the dealer and get their findings to determine next steps.

I have nothing but good ...

I have nothing but good things to say about the LTX M/S. Having 5 daughters playing hockey, I have had many miles driving on these tires. I have driven through many snow storms and unplowed roads. Traction has been wonderful. One trip to Duluth Minnesota we experienced a storm which closed the city. Duluth is pretty hilly, the amount of snow we had to navigate was challenging. One of the parents thought I had four wheel drive. He could not believe it was only two wheel drive and was impressed how well the Michelin tires performed. Bib would be proud. I have convinced two friends to change to Michelin and they have been very happy with them. When its time for new tires I know they will be Michelin.
