This is the first set of Michelin tires I have owned and they have been great. I preach on the Tohono O'odham reservation along the US/Mexican border and the roads are very rough at times. I have driven in deep water, mud, sand, rocky terrian and deep ruts. These tires have handle extremely well and I have been very pleased with their performance.

I've purchased a few other name brands for a few other cars I've owned & Michelin so far is the best I've owned. I currently drive a 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade & have had 2 other sets of tires on them, the most recent were Uniroyal. Horrible, at least for this vehicle. I purchased 4 of the LTX M/S2 & while I've only had these on for a few days, I have been able to drive in wet weather. They ride & handle phenomenally! No slipping, sliding, or hydroplaning. The ride is so smooth it's unbelievable; I never thought this vehicle could ride so nicely. Evidently it's not the vehicle, but the tire. Best tire by far!

I have had LTX tires on my trucks because of their construction site performance and that they do not howl at you on the freeway. The improvement from the LTX to this M/S2 is noticeable, especially in the rain. I was not expecting this much of an improvement on a tire that i used for years, glad to see your research development pay off for my excitement.

Only have about 10,000 miles on these tire so far. Ride is excellant, quiet and smooth. We cross the country twice a year from massachusetts to Arizona and back. I got 55,000 miles on my stock tires before I replaced them. Hope to get 70,000 on these. traction seems very good in heavy rains.

Just bought my second set of LTX M/S tires for my 2002 Silverado. When I replaced the original equipment tires I tried other brands at a lower cost and was never satisfied. I drive a lot of highway miles and and some gravel roads and got 110,000 miles out of the first set. These are the best tires I've ever owned and highly recommend paying the extra price.

I purchased in June of 2012 the purported best Michelin light truck/suv tires, the LTX MS2, with a built date of 1712 > the 17th week of 2012. Three years later, they're dry rotten, with cracks extending 2" from the bead and 1" from the shoulder. When I tried to warrant them at two different places, one told me it was weather related from heat and not a warranty issue, the other told me that until the dry rotting is across the entire sidewall the tires cannot be warranted. DOT code: M3LV28AX1712 While traction has been excellent with hardly any tread wear, the sidewalls are junk. Buyer beware.

The LTX M/S 2's are the 5th set of Michelins I have purchased for my various vehicles - 3 other sets beng LTX M/S and the orginal Michelin A/S tires, that these new LTX M/S 2's replaced. They went on a 2010 Ford F150 Crew Cab that I use for business. The priginal A/S tires lasted 92,000 miles which I thought was good. As you can tell by the year and the mileage, I put between 45,000- 50,000 miles per year on the vehicle so a good set of tires is important and I always thought the Michelin tires to be the best value - lowest cost per mile to run. I wanted to replace the A/S tires with another set of A/S tires but was told by the dealer that they were "unavailable". He spoke of the LTX M/S 2's so I went ahead and got the set. Never did I realize that there would be an affect on gas mileage. I keep very detailed records of my miles and fuel consumed and, to the date of install of the new tires my fuel mileage, under the same driving condions, dropped over 13% or 2.7 MPG. Assuming the same tread wear on these that I had on the orginal A/S tires , my fuel cost is going to increase by $2200 over the life of the tire. Any value gained by the longer trad life is lost five-fold due to the decreased fuel efficiency. Unfortuneatley I did not realize the effect untril after the 30 day warranty ran out or I would have returned the tires. I expected a slight change in the fuel efficiency with the more aggressive tread , but not anything near this drastic.

They are Michelin tires.....what more can one say. Years ago I tried other brands of tires and I quickly learned that just because it's round and black does not make it a tire. These particular Michelin tires are excellent regardless of the conditions......mud, rain, dry pavement......they are great. I actualy take my SUV off road and in some pretty rough terrain and these perform great. When I clean my SUV up and use tire shine I'm good to go to a nice restaurant and valet my vehicle.

The new LTX MS/2 tires proved to be a significant upgrade for my Lexus RX300. Road noise is loader than touring tires I could have chosen, but good traction in on and off road conditions was important for my driving. Very pleased with the results. I would purchase these tires again.

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.
