I made it to 40,000 miles on the original tires on my Ford F-150, with tires that normally don't go nearly that far. The key was proper balance, air pressure, and rotation (every 5,000 miles). Even though I nearly doubled the average miles on those tires, I knew the tire that would replace the originals would have to do better. I checked some on-line blogs and Consumer Reports. Everything seemed to point to Michelin. I have been a Michelin customer for years, so this was not a hard sell for me. I bought the Michelin LTX M/S2 tires at the end of December, so I'm going on about 9 months of testing. So far, I would absolutely buy them again. They're rugged and ride well and they have the best balance (in my opinion) of roll resistance and rubber compound. Stopping distances are not longer than with the original equipment tires and they take bumps very well. I was concerned about tread life vs. traction, but again, the balance of the mileage expectation and the ability to stop and make it confidently through a curve have not been compromised. Since no tire is impervious to road hazards, I purchased the hazard insurance. The feeling of security with this tire makes me confident in putting my family in this truck knowing I've done all I can to make it as safe as possible. I recommend this brand as well as this particular tire, and I will very likely purchase more in the future. Oh, did I mention my average MPG has gone up two tenths? That may not sound like a lot, but over the life of the vehicle, it adds up. Since I check the mileage with every gas purchase to ensure everything's working as it should, I can tell you, the numbers are accurate.

I bought a set of Michelin LTX MS/2 tires back in 2011 for my 2006 Ford F250 Diesel. I use my truck for everything, daily driver, hunting, fishing, towing our camper, and working our small farm. I can say these are the best tires I have ever put on any truck I have ever owned. I have been on mud covered roads, snow so deep the bumper was pushing the snow, and on cross country highway trips. The LTX MS/2 tires have stayed quiet on the highway and never left me stranded in even the harshest environments. I will own another set if these ever wear out.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW HAD 300 MILES WHEN I DECIDED THE TIRES ON THE VEHICLE WHERE NOT FOR ME. INSTALLED A SET OF MICHELIN LTX M/S2. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE A COUPLE OF MILES I SAID TO MYSELF IF THEY PUT THESE TIRES ON THE TRUCK FROM THE FACTORY THEY WOULD PROBABLY SELL MORE OF THESE TRUCKS.

These tires are the next best thing to the old LTX M/S's. Good wear and performance. I've only had these tires for 15,000 miles and so far, they look like the day I put them on. The tires are LT245/75-17 Load Range E on a 2008 Ford F250 with a service bed, so the truck weighs 8500lbs at all times of the day. The previous tires (non-michelin) only lasted 33,000 miles and were showing drastic signs of wear at 15,000 miles and were bald at replacement.

Great Tires. Have had them for 6 months now. So far have not noticed any wear. Smooth comfortable ride. Mainly driven on City streets. Some Highway driving. No long trips yet. City is doing chipsealing work. I love the fact that these tires hardly get any rock chips in them because of the tread pattern. No winter driving as of this posting. I hope they will last as long or longer than my old tires did (8 years). Time will tell. No dislikes as of yet, have not had the tires long enough. I was not compensated in exchange for writing this review.

. . .I've been riding on Michelin Tires for a long time & have NEVER had a complaint; they are QUIETER than other brands & I feel secure knowing they are a VERY SAFE TIRE! I recommended the LTX MS2 tire to my best friend living above the snow line; he is impressed by their traction ( over the less durable snow tires "recommended" by his tire shop!). What can I say; pay a little more and get the GOOD TIRE - MICHELIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is the best set of tires i have ever had on my F250....smooth good handeling with r without a load...can really tell the difference in the tires when pulling my trailers and even my boat....the tires break really well under a load....the traction is excellent on wet r dry pavement.....they could use a little improvement on dirt/grass/gravel...but the comfort and smooth ride makes up for the difference....interesdting thing is...the tires took very little weight to balance...all 4 took .25 ounces r less....and that is impressive for a 265/75/16...awesome set of tires.

The first thing that happened after I bought these tires, is that I received a compliment from someone who said they were excellent tires! They were noticed as soon as I pulled up to a local function. I have received better gas mileage, and definitely better traction than ever before!

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.

The overall performance and longevity of the tires is outstanding. Over the years I have tried other major manufacturer's so called equivalents, but I always go back to Michelin. They just plain, ride and steer better plus they last for typically twice the mileage, and only cost a few dollars more.
