Michelin tires are the repeated choice

I chose this tire for my Suburban, 03 4Runner, 02 Tacoma and my 91 4x4 4Runner. The 91' 4runner has had about 20 Michelin tires (they don't last forever) during the 200,000 miles or so since I purchased it. The 10.5 x 31 x 15 radials have been beyond Death Valley in deep desert on rough dirt roads and have brought me safely home time and time again. I used to fear a blow out at 70 plus miles an hour on the freeways after an extreme workout on desert dirt roads and rocks, that not ever happened to date.

"Shoes for Cars"

Michelin tires are like Nike sneakers...a good reputation built on solid years of experience. My LTX M/S tires are on my suburban, yes I drive a suburban. Even with gas prices going up, my suburban stays on the road, mainly due to the Michelin tires. The tires offer a smooth ride on the highway and maintaining proper air pressure keeps it fuel efficient. The tread is perfect for all conditions on the highway and ready to take off road for my camping and hunting needs. I just shift into 4-wheel drive and my Michelin's take my up the muddy and rocky road to camp. Come winter, we're off to the slopes and my LTX M/S tires keep me in my lane up and down the steep grade to the resorts. I feel confident in my travels knowing that my suburban has the proper shoes for the event. THANK YOU!!!

Best tires

A buddy convinced me to use his tire guy, who talked me into buying bargain brand tires that saved a couple hundred bucks, over the Michelins that I’ve always used. I took it on a 300 mile hunting trip that weekend, and they “wallowed,” and the kicker was on the return trip from Del Rio, high winds over a long elevated bridge sent the truck into an “oscillation” that nearly put us into a head on. I took it back, paid for new Michelins and another hundred for the trouble… it was worth it! Those tires right now have 72K miles on them, and I’ll probably get another 10k easy… and I don’t drive bald tires!

Tires were great on my SUV

Even wear on a ford SUV almost unheard of. By far the best tires I have ever had on a all wheel drive SUV. No they are not mud tires but on and off road traction has been wonderfull they even do good on the beach in the sand. 70, 000+ miles. They do great on the ohio snow covered roads, the beach on the east cost and the wet or dry highway. Very quiet and smooth on the road. I never right reviews most things just don't impress me enough to spend the time but this was the best upgrade for my mercury mountainer. This coming from a auto and truck repair technician with 20 plus years on the job.

These are the best tire made

These are the best tires made. I bought 4 LTX/MS in 2006 for my Xterra. I just notice today that I will have to replace them within the next 5,000 to 10,000 miles. I pulled the paperwork and they were installed @ 223,000 miles. I now have 385,000 miles. Do the math folks, Yup, 162,000 + mile and riding like new still. AWESOME. See what routine rotating and air pressure checks will do for you. And yup I can back it up with detailed paperwork. Only wish I could afford to buy these again. This kinda sounds like a commercial.

OUTSTANDING TIRES ... SIMPLY THE BEST

These tires are used on an AWD Vehicle year round. There is essentially no road noise from the tires and they just wear and wear and wear with no unusual problems having been encountered. Most trouble free tires I've owned. So good that I use Michelin Tires on three (3) vehicles. Two SUV's and one (1) full Size Passenger Car. The Michelin tires were not given to the writer of this review and the writer was not compensated in any way for writing this review.

They work in Warmer months

Have previously bought Michelin tires because they are pretty durable, the traction is decent and they're comfortable The handle isn't as great on my truck so I may need to look at different brands but they do work and get the job done in the summer months. But when the winter comes I have to make sure that I have a year-round tire with really good tread

103,000 miles and counting

This tire came standard with my new Ford Econoline van in 2006, and are still serving well at 103,000 miles. I may replace them before winter, but there is still good tread remaining, and the sidewalls look like new! They are quiet, reliable, and good looking.

LTX M/S beats them all!!!

I've driven on all brands of tires, and the Michelin LTX M/S is one of the strongest, longest lasting tires I've ever had. The first set went 70k, and I was going on a long trip so I thought it was time to replace them. I looked at the tread and it was about half worn! I went on my trip and saved the money and drove another 15k before replacing with the same thing. Cant tell you how many miles the next set got, but I put 50k on them and sold the truck. They might still be on there as far as these babys go! My Tahoe is getting due for tires and I know what is going on! MIchelin LTX M/S

Wears evenly and drives smooth

This is our second set of LTX M/S tires for our E350 van. Fortunately we like them...as there aren't other options. The first set lasted approximately 65K miles, and through at least a couple of screw/nail patches in the tread in several of the tires. We did make sure to rotate them every time we had the oil changed which more than likely prolonged the life of them. (Imagine that, following the mfg instructions!) Hopefully this set will last us for another 4-5 years as well!
