Service Rating

When we purchased our new 2011 GMC Yukon we insisted and the dealer complied with our wish to replace the factory tires with Michelins. We just replaced the originals with slightly over 70,000 miles and could not have been more pleased with tires that were still quiet with a good ride and tread depth that would pass inspection. We chose to replace them at this time because we don't like running a tire that is getting close to minimum tread depth. This opinion is based on our driving on interstates at high speeds and in mountain terrain. We have years of experience using Michelins and would not consider another brand.

92000 miles

I purchased a set of these after having cheaper tires cupping and camber wear. I now have 92000 miles (25000 of those towing) on them and they still have thousands of miles left to go. They look brand new and dont wear irregularly like cheaper tires. Incredibly quite and smooth ride.

These tires do it all on my SUV. The wear is great! They're great on and off road. I don't drive in deep mud but I drive a lot of fire roads in the mountains that have some muddy and snowy areas and the tires do great. They're also tough tires and hadle the rocky mountain roads with no problems.

Amazing

After checking reviews on several tires for my 2002 Chevy Suburban, 4wd i settled on my first set of Michelin tires. Had about 40,000 miles on the vehicle at the time in 2005. The present milage is 150,000. Two tires were changed at 140000 due to a large puncture. Two are still running but will be changed in the next three weeks. They have not worn to the indicators and have no sign of drying. Probably an equal use of highway, pulling a 16 foot cargo trailer, and in town driving. Quiet and the milage. Mind you I rotated the tires every 10000 miles and kept them balanced and the front end alligned.

"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!!!

Awesome Tire awesome treadlife

I have run Michelin tires on the last 3 vehicles I have owned. I have purchased less expensive tires trying to stretch a dollar, and have discovered the cheaper tires do not stay in balance and do not have nearly the same tread life. I have had one road hazard experience while in my truck with an 800 pound Harley Davidson in the bed. I hit a 2X4 lost from a vehicle in front of me while traveling in excess of 60 MPH, the result was an immediate loss of tire pressure and tire running flat. I was able to pull to the shoulder of the road safely, crossing through 2 lanes of California freeway traffic. Upon inspection of the damaged tire I discovered that the 2x4 had gone through both sidewalls of the tire, even with that the beads stayed attached to the rim allowing me to safely stop. I am sold on Michelin tires and will never purchase another brand.

Have 60,000 miles on set of Michelin tires on heavy Diesel pick up and going strong. While pricing out new set was advised that have a good 15,000 left on tread. Has been mostly highway miles but towing RV trailer for half of it. Good handling and traction for highway tread. Fourth set of Michelins and will buy again.....

Not what it first appears to be.

This tire has performed very well on my E-350 van. The only drawback to date has been the break in period for tire squirm. The tall tread pattern made for soft steering. It took approximately 1,000 miles of driving to break in the tire and now it is functioning much like I had expected.

Buying Another Set!

2015 F-150 XLT SuperCab. Photos are of the tires 4 years and 80,250 miles later. Rotated them with every other oil change. They would probably go another 10,000! Driven in snow, heavy rain, construction sites, and have pulled trailers. Even wear, quiet, and great in rain and during quick braking. Buying another set this week.

I drive a F250 and use to run bias tires because the sidewalls were tougher. I'm on about to get my third set of LT M/S. They are a great tire. Quiet and strong. I usually load about 1,000# to haul every day and the quiet smooth ride is to set example. Never had a tire failure with one and only cut one once. Highly recommended for a personal service vehicle.
