Very Good

The tires are great. They give me the security I need when driving on interstate highways. My original tires were the Latitude Sport and when I went to purchase them the store I purchased from only had three in stock, so they talked me into the LTX M/S. I have been very pleased with the LTX M/S

Quiet, comfortable and capable tire

I recently put these on my 2015 Grand Cherokee and so far, they are great. Prior to these, I had the Latitude Tours, which I loved. These have a more aggressive looking tread pattern, and initially, I was a bit concerned they would have increased road noise, or compromise the comfort of the ride, but I have to say I am impressed - they are as good in those respects as the Latitude. These appear to be a more capable tire in snow and mud and I am looking forward to taking them through a Minnesota Winter. Recommmended!

1 ton dually tires

I have been running these tires on my trucks for years. Very quiet, long wearing and handling. However I have noticed the tires dry rot much quicker than years past. My mechanic will no longer pay the Michelin premium prices because they dry rot much sooner than they wear out. Other than that these are great tires

Overrated treadlife - Very Disappointed

Bought these tires for my vehicle and after only 31000 miles, was back at the tire dealership shopping for new tires due to the excessive treadwear. This was the second set, both of which came way short of the mileage rating. Have been a life long purchaser of Michelin tires due to the quality and ride but these were a huge let down. Grateful for having a terrific dealer that was interested in trying to find a suitable replacement in a different brand. Not what I expected from Michelin.

vehicle is a 4 wheel ...

vehicle is a 4 wheel drive 2500HD with the 8.1 engine. The original tires lasted 50,000 miles. I experienced one flat tire from a nail when the tires were new. At 50,000 miles, I asked for Michelin LTX. This was a good choice. The Michelins were driven for 110,000 miles will no problems. The tires had finally worn to the wear indicators when I discovered a 1/2" screw sticking in the tire. I removed the screw, but there was no leak. I believe I could have driven another 10,000 miles before I would have been into the wear indicators. I have never had another set to tires to match the performance of the Michelins. The tires always drove straight and worn evenly. I am very pleased with this brand and these are the reasons I purchased another set.

Probably the best tire ...

Probably the best tire out there. I live on a dirt road which becomes a mud road when it rains and snows. No problems getting through when conditions are rough. This tire beats them all for mileage ratings. Smooth on passenger cars and durable on SUV's. Don't change this one at all! I would like to see this tire in more sizes.

Great Miles

My 07' Honda Ridgeline came equipped with the LTX M/S tires when new, when I replaced the original tires with new LTX M/S tires the original tires had been driven in excess of 92,000 miles and were not yet worn to the wear bars. I personally rotated the tires according to Honda's recommended intervals and maintained the correct pressure @ 31 psi. No repairs were needed throughout entire the life of the original tires. The Honda Ridgeline is known to be a bit-road-noisy so I don't feel I can be objective on the issue of road noise for this tire. Yep on recommending this tire, I brag on it all the time. The Ridgeline is a 4X4 all wheel drive, I hunt in the Big Cypress Swamp-Florida Everglades-and have a permit to use my truck, so far I haven't needed assistance. Cheers

Best light truck tire on the market!

These tires were purchased for daily commuting in our Honda Pilot. The m/s's ride and handle better than any other light truck tire on the market. The only downside to these tires is the price. As in most other cases, you get what you pay for. I am very happy with them and will purchase another set when these need to be replaced.

Amazing snow grip!

Two years ago after 32 inch snowfall I was the only one on the road besides the plow trucks. The day before, on my way home from work, the snow was coming down hard and I was headed for a 250 foot elevation hill climb. About halfway up, and around the bend, cars were in the ditch and blocking the road. I had to come to a complete stop on the steep incline. Whew, I didn't slide back down the hill. I put it in four-wheel-drive low expecting some slippage as I started moving again. Surprisingly no slippage whatsoever! I slalomed around the cars and pulled a couple out of the ditch and one up the hill to safety. Without a doubt I would purchase Michelin mud and snow tires again for my four-wheel-drive vehicle.

Tire got high ratings for ...

Tire got high ratings for wet braking and low rolling resistance from evaluation against multiple other tires. I've had no problems with braking on wet surfaces, and I drive a truck, so I can't really comment on whether rolling resistance helped. They won't come anywhere near to lasting 60,000 miles, but that wasn't why I bought them; a pickup truck in Texas needs good braking, a good grip, and the price of gas drives the need for low rolling resistance. I'm not at all displeased with these tires, and I've owned Michelins since the first time I replaced the OEM tires in 2004 (bought truck in 2000).
