Good Truck Tire

I will not buy Michelin tires or any brand of tires from Sams Club ever again. I have exclusively bought Michelin tires for 30 years for our family, many through Sams Club. I wanted the best and safest and willing to pay a premium price for it. However, my current set of Michelins is a huge disappointment. I purchased the current set of LTX M/S on July 2, 2013. It has a manufacture date of 1613, meaning it was manufactured in the 16th week of 2013. Less than 4 years and 40,000 miles later, it has extensive dry rot. See attached pictures. I had ran over a nail and took it into Sams Club to have it fixed. At first the technician informed me they wouldn't fix it because of the dry rot but I had to persuade them that I would the assume the risk should the tire fail during the repair. I took it to my local mechanic to get his opinion. He said Michelin probably changed the formula to sell it cheaper to Sams Club.

Could be Michelin's best tire. OEM on parents '03 GMC Envoy. I normally am not a fan of OEM tires, but these were exceptional. When replacement time came, local tire shop (and Michelin experts) recommended that these tires were still the best option. Just replaced those, as my parents don't drive nearly as much in their advanced age and the tires were starting to show signs of dry rot, which I've read is normal with Michelin's high mileage tires as they just don't wear out! These newest ones are probably the best Michelin tires, and I speak from experience. Another vehicle was supplied OEM with Primacy Tours, which were trash, and I replaced with the Defender2 and while better, aren't the equal of the Defender LTX! I have another vehicle with Pilot Sport All Season 4s which might be slightly better than the Defender LTX, but I have to knock them a point as I can't get 20k miles on them. But they ARE a high performance tire, and phenomenal! The Defender LTX is incredibly quiet, smooth, and resists hydroplaning and tramlining. Haven't bee drven in the snow, but considering how excellent they are in the other 3 seasons, I'm confident they'd perform just fine in the snow. Highly recommend!
