Fantastic overall!

This is the best tire on my vehicle! I bought my Volvo XC60 with Continentals on it, they were okay but got very noisy as they aged. While most tires do get louder with age, I got fed up and replaced them with Michelins that were supposedly specifically for Crossover vehicles. Those were quiet and comfortable but didn't last but 3 years. Now replacement time came again, and I really didn't like the choices for decent 'Crossover' tires especially for the prices and wear factor. Then I remembered back when I had my Land Rovers they both had the LTX tires. Those wore like iron, great traction in any weather, and never had vibration issues. I was delighted to see these were available for the Volvo. Now living in Florida I really had no concern about traction in the snow but, wet weather (we get some heavy rains) between the all wheel drive and these tires wet roads were almost as if they were dry. Handling was every bit as good as it ever was. I knew due to the blocky tread design they weren't going to be quiet, but to my surprise there was only a slight hum, and with the unibody construction of the Volvo noise transfer is very much a part of life. After having driven this for over a year with these tires, I wish I had put these on years ago. I'm sure these tires will outlast my ownership of the vehicle.

Snow traction is back!

Had to replace the OEM Hankook Ventus all season tires at 28k miles. They didn’t last long. The major snowfall of the season they had me questioning my Explorer. It’s 4WD and even in the snow mode, traction wasn’t there. Braking was horrible, ABS was kicking in all the time. Felt like I was back to driving my Town Car, and even that dealt with the snow better. The Ford dealer agreed these tires were about done. Weeks later the dealer hooked me up with these tires. No more flat spots. The ride improved, quieter too. Yes I know new tires make a difference. But the old tires weren’t that old. The next snowfall was a big improvement. Traction was back, braking was confident. 1,000 miles with these tires and so far I’m sold this was a smart purchase. 6 inches of unplowed roads this morning and I felt much more confident. Driving smart of course. Cannot say how long these will last but my precious experience of these tires on a ‘99 Tahoe was favorable too. Good tires for this vehicle.

Best Tire I Have Ever Owned

This is the second set of Michelin LTX M/S tires I have had on my Ford Explorer. They are absolutely the best tire I have ever used on any vehicle. Great Appearance, Outstanding Traction, and Unbeatable Mileage. I get 60,000 miles of use out of them, no kidding! I will never buy any other SUV tire.

Because so much is riding on your tires!

My Dad was an avid advocate of Michelin tires all my years growing up. They were the only tires he would buy. I myself however thought tires were tires, as long as they were round and held air who cares. When I was in my early twentys I started my own contracting business and spent a lot of time on construction sites. Needless to say I also spent a lot of time changing flats, due to nails and other construction debris, and a lot of time purchasing tires every year or so. Flash forward fifteen years or so and picture yourself in the high speed lane of a four lane highway during rush hour running around 70 mph. Suddenly and without any indication of a problem my left rear tire blew. Somehow I managed to get over through two lanes of traffic just as the lanes split, two lanes each way and into the center area of the split where I came to a stop. As I sat there trying to gather myself, my now deceased fathers words echoed in my head. Because so much is riding on your tires! It's the perfect slogan, mostly because it's true, but obviously I never got the picture like I'm sure a lot of others haven't. Since that day, now twenty years ago, I'm an avid Michelin fan. In the past twenty years since I've been driving on Michelins I've had three seperate instances were I'm quite convinced that if I had any other tires I possibly woundn't be here to write this review. I preach to all my family and friends that besides the safety factor I haven't had a flat tire in twenty years, and I only have to mess with buying tires every five or six years. You guys make an amazing product and as a consumer it's nice to be able to purchase what I consider to be a life safety product and do it with complete confidence. Please never compromise your quality for your bottom line as I have seen happen with other so called top of the line products.

Safe and Comfortable

I have used Michelin tires on all of my vehicles both passenger cars and light trucks. Their performance in the rain and snow are exceptional. On the highway they are quiet and very responsive to road hazards. From an economic standpoint, these tires last for many miles thus the cost per mile is very low. I always recommend Michelin.

Rough Road Capable

I drive down a 10 mile rough gravel road twice a week. The road is known to eat up tires. The Michelin LTX MS tires hold up exceptionally. I drive highway miles as well as this road. I put on about 16,000 miles a year. The gravel road has a reputation for eating up tires. The Michelins have endured without any problem. I am very pleased with this product.

I have a class-C RV, and have my 2nd set of Michelins on. The first set were 5 years old and the only sign of wear was due to a slight front end alignment. The rear showed no visible wear at all with 50M miles. However it was time to replace. The spare had never been off. I check pressure on all tires including the spare when we go for our monthly outing.

Fantastic wear, very quiet and affirmative ride. It is a very capable tire. Most tires have peaks in performance in certain areas at the sacrifice of others. Not this tire, it is a good all-rounder and a solid performer no matter the conditions. This is a reflection of Michellin: strong, consistent, and quality products.

LTS M/S

Had my LTX M/S tires for a year. They are fantastic! I've probably put 10,000 miles on them and they still look new. I've bought many sets of Michelin over the years and they've all stood up well for distance driving and local driving. I live in the NC mountains, so they really have to grip a lot of curbs--and they do grip. Pay the extra; it's worth it!
