Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.

Excellent quality tire

I am a recently retired Fleet Manager with 40 years managing a large municipal fleet including Fire and Emergency Services vehicles and in my career Michelin has always been my number one choice for all on road units. The quality of the defender tire no only provides an excellent ride on my truck but also great tread wear which equals long life and economical operation costs.

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.

Smooth riding, long lasting tread

Use this tire for everyday city/interstate driving also backroads travel, through various different types of terrain. Experienced a smooth ride, traction over the various terrains, and extremely good tread wear. Road noise on paved roads, dependent on surface material is annoying at times overall good.

Michelin - A Tire You Can Trust for Life

Have you had tires that did not last? Have you paid for tires that did not perform? Have you heard from a salesperson that told you how great a tire was and find out that the quality was below standard. Forturnate I experiance all of these early in life and fortuantely I bought my first Michelin tire also early in my life. I have bought only Michelin tires since I was 21 and I am 64 now. With the proper care (inflation, rotation, etc.) these tires on the average have lasted longer than the advertised rating and their tread life has been execeptional. Quality control is also outstanding as I have never had to return a tire for any type of blemish or related problem which is very important from a safety point of view. I am a long time owner of these tires as well as all of my familty who continue to rack up the miles and who contiue to experice the same satifaction and trust with the Michelin brand.

2nd time I have selected LTX M/S

The first set LTX M/S tires lasted 8 years and 3 months...incredible. Granted I should have gotten new tires after 6 years, but these tires still had tons of tread on them when I had them replaced. These new ones seem even tougher somehow. You can by other good tires, but if you want the best I always trust Michelin.

Awesome tires

I have own so many tires and yet nothing like Michelin tires. My tires is right now @72000miles on it and tread looks like a new. Rotating every 5000miles most important to keep your tired last long but still the tires is #1 on my list now. I would never buy any other tires. Most other tires I own never lasted that mileage said. I wold have replaced once already and even I thought Michelin was expensive, it pays itself as I'm saving the money after all. I convinced my girlfriend to get one too and she has not complain. That has to say something. I did right and Michelin done right. I don't think you will sorry for spending extra money upfront...

Perfect for most drives.

These tires do pretty good in most conditions (dry wet snow dirt). They are comfortable and pretty quiet. The only issue I had was when it was wet, and I had to accelerate quicker than usual the front tires word spin for a second but breaking in the wet conditions was fine.

Most Amazing Tire Ever!

In 45 years of owning vehicles these are probably the best tires I have ever owned. First I did my research before buying these tires. Along with some other traits, I really wanted a tire with good traction for the snow and ice I experience in Michigan as well as decent rolling resistance so that I would still get good fuel economy with our hybrid electric vehicle. I also wanted a quieter tire and this is difficult to find with a mud and snow tire. I narrowed it down to this Michelin and another name brand tire. After discussing this with my auto mechanic brother he said hands down get the Michelin! I have had these tires on our Hybrid Electric All Wheel Drive Escape for 5 1/2 years now and they have been amazing! Smooth riding and quiet with good rain, snow and ice traction. What has been truly amazing is the tire wear. I have had them on my vehicle for over 6 years and 100000 miles now and am not to the wear bars yet. I honestly think I could safely get another 20000 miles before needing to replace them. FYI, I once had some Uniroyal tires that had 80000 miles with tread still left but they lost all grip as the tires had solidified into a hard plastic like compound. These Michelins are still pliable and get very good traction! Just a reminder that in order to maximize performance and longevity, suspension components such as ball joints and shock absorbers need to be kept in good working order and the wheel alignment needs to be in spec and the tires inflated properly and rotated (being an automotive test engineer I know better and rotate front to rear only and do so every 10000 miles at most).

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.
