I have been a Michelin customer since the late 1960's. I have always replaced OEM tires with Michelin so I do have some experience on comparing performance. My latest Michelin's, the LTX M/S2, are on a F-150. They gave me a slight improvement on highway mpg and have great wet traction. I have yet to have the truch fishtail. One reason I stick with Michelin is that they last. These tires have around 30,000 miles and still have more than half the tread left. Our car has the MXV4 and they perform equally as well. I always feel safe riding on Michelin's.

Great tire on the freeway with quick response in handling. Replaced factory tires with new Michelin LTX M/S2 on my GMC 2010 Sierra pickup with 53000 miles. Waiting to see how they handle in the rain & snow in Michigan. Great replacement tire for the smooth ride on Mich roads which are in poor condition. I wii update this posting when it snows!

This is my 3rd set of these tires and they are in use on same car. I have used michelin tires since 2003 but these new tires have a bumpy feel. The retailer says they can't find anything wrong but I can tell from years of using this same brand that something is wrong with one of the rear tires. The car shakes and the ride is not pleasant. Don't know if the quality has decreased. I hope the retailer will find the problem because I can't believe there is a better tire than Michelin.

I bought these to replace some aging A/T tires (different brand) on my full-sized van. The old tires had been great, but did not have the tread depth to survive another Michigan winter. The reviews looked good on the MS2 tires, and they came highly recommended. I have had Michelin tires on other cars, and know to trust the name. The pros: 1. The MS2 is a highway tire, and much quieter than the A/T tires that I had previously. 2. The tread pattern is deep, and the siping provides excellent traction in snowy/icy conditions. Overall, I'm very impressed with the traction. Straight-line braking is good. 3. The ride around town is comfortable. The cons: 1. Even when properly inflated, these tires do not provide good handling at highway speeds. The old tires that I had previously gave a much more crisp steering response. My vehicle is very large, and I don't expect it to corner like a sports car, but the MS2's make me feel like I'm piloting a large boat, when compared with the ride and handling with my old tires. There are significant delays in steering response, and "wallow" in the back end of the van, even under gentle cornering and lane changes on dry roads. I have to anticipate curves on the highway and turn into them earlier than before in order to maintain good lane position. Even when not towing a trailer, cross-winds can be a bit scary, whereas with the previous tires I had, wind gusts were just a minor annoyance. 2. My fuel economy has been down since I had these tires put on. I can't say for sure that it's due to the tires, and it's only down by 1-2mpg, but that is a significant percentage when the overall fuel economy average for this large vehicle is less than 15mpg. Conclusion: If I had known about the 30-day satisfaction guarantee on these tires, I would have chosen to swap them for a different brand. I'm not an expert, but my guess is that the sidewalls are just not stiff enough to provide confident handling on the highway.

I have had a wide variety of tire brands in my younger, foolish years. For the past 20 years I have had nothing but Michelin LTX-M/S and couldn't be more pleased. Quiet, Great traction. Just got over 80,000 miles out of my last set and they still had approximately 25% of the tread left. The only reason I just changed them to the new LTX-M/S2 was due to an unfortunate road hazard that took out the sidewalls on 2 of them. Bought a new full set and used one of the rears as a replacement for my spare. Based on my past experience, I won't be using anything else on my trucks and SUV's. Wife loves them the quiet, smooth ride on her Grand Cherokee and they are outstanding on my Suburban. You will pay more initally for these, but to me, paying 10-20% less on a set of tires that get you only 25-35k miles just doesn't make sense.

I thoroughly researched the Michelin LTX M+S/2 for my 2007 4WD 4Runner. The ride is quiet and smooth. The grip, traction and handling are superb - even on snow and snow-pack. I have had no known issues with ice either. The wear is even and is minimal after a year and 10K miles.

These are one of the best tires I have ever had. I am going on my second set of ms/2's. These are absolutely the best for my SUV. I have had no problems since and it runs real smooth and clean. Definitely worth the wait to get. All round best tire to purchase.

Purchased a set of 4 LTX M/S2 (P265/65R17 110T) 04-11-15 at about twice the cost of other tires. Was impressed with purported riding comfort and tread wear promise. Mileage at installation: 26680; Mileage today: 59401; Mileage on tires: 32721. Rotated every 5000 miles; tire psi checked weekly. Tires have worn evenly, but tread is gone. Would not pass state inspection (WV) if I had to have one before spring. I doubt that I can get thru the coming winter on this set. Like other reviewers, I was willing to pay more for these tires in consideration of the riding comfort and increased tire life. I got one of the two (comfort) but am extremely disappointed in the short tread life.

It didn't take long for me to notice a difference, as I pulled away from the garage and zipped on the highway, what I thought was going to be an expensive mechanical repair turned out to be to much road noise from my previous set of tires!!! I couldn't believe how quiet my new Michelin were! Maybe that was just my lack of knowledge, but all I can tell is the handling in wet and snowy conditions is superb! I know what I'm getting for my next set of wheels...

My LTX M/S2 tires are on my Suburban, and perform very well. They are quiet, show hardly any wear, and inspire confidence in handling and braking in all kinds of weather. I also notice that fuel mileage has gone up since I updated to these tires. I consider my Suburban to be a very dependable vehicle, especially with Michelin LTX M/S2 rubber "feet".
