LTX M/S - Quite simply the best!

I have been on Michelin's for years and was glad when the non-Michelin dealer tires had to be replaced on my Lexus RX. My local Lexus dealer recommended the LTX M/S and I had excellent prior experience with Michelin LTX tires on other SUVs. Handles great navigating Colorado's mountain passes, even during major snow events. I have pulled other vehicles out of snow banks and ditches as these tires really grip in all kinds of conditions. Very comfortable, smooth ride on dry roads and over long trips. A great all-season tire for paved and dirt roads. Coming up on 30K miles and they still look like-new with even tread-wear. I am diligent about rotating and balancing at recommended mileage intervals.

I just recently purchased ...

I just recently purchased my Michelin ltx M/S tires for my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Driving makes me feel like I'm on a cloud. They adhere to the road surface without sliding. I've driven on gravel and there is very little slippage on a hill. They fit well & look great! There is alot of road construction in my area with lots of graded surfaces. The tires I previously had rode hard and I could feel the roughness on the road. The Michelin ltx M/S have a smooth ride and I barely feel the graded surface (although I try to avoid the construction areas). I live in a mountainous area with many different road surfaces and weather changes. I haven't had any problems with my tires and love the way they feel and handle! When my 1999 car needs new tires, I will definetly purchase Michelin for it as well!! My husband works in the Automotive industry and he agrees that Michelin are the best brand of tire you can get.

Over 100,000 Miles!

I currently have 104,000 miles on my Michelin LTX-M/S on my 2003 F-250. Most (98%) of my driving is on-road here in SE Pennsylvania. Even with this past winter being the second worst on record for snow fall, the LTX tires with just about 4/32 left on them never left me stranded. I'll be buying another set this fall and will again buy the Michelin LTX-M/S! (my tire size is 285/75R16(D)).

Worth the cost

When I bought my '01 Tahoe in '07 it had 163K miles. It had LTX/MS all the way around but 2 were worn and 2 were only half worn. I replaced the worn ones and just this year replaced them again with around 255K miles on the truck. I have never had a tire last as long and wear as evenly and drive as well as these! I was hesitant to replace these at first, but I am so glad I did. I have bought a lot of tires over the years, but always considered Michelin to be too expensive. If they last as long as they are supposed to, they are well worth it. The other 2 on the truck were replaced about 50K ago and still have plenty of life. I have no doubt that they will also get to that 90K mark with no problem.

My lifeline to home and work

I leave home most the time very early before the sun comes up and travel 70 to 100 miles one way almost every day when I'm in town and reliability is very important to me and my family. When I'm out of town my wife's truck has the same tires and it makes us sleep at night knowing we can depend on our travel with Michelin tires. Win lose or draw we appreciate the efforts by Michelin to produce a dependable and reliable product. Thank you from me and my family

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.

2nd time I have selected LTX M/S

The first set LTX M/S tires lasted 8 years and 3 months...incredible. Granted I should have gotten new tires after 6 years, but these tires still had tons of tread on them when I had them replaced. These new ones seem even tougher somehow. You can by other good tires, but if you want the best I always trust Michelin.

GREAT IN RAIN, BUT DON'T GET STATED MILEAGE

This is not my 1st set of these tires on present and previous Tahoe's and while great on wet roads this set of 4 tires is wearing the worst of all previous sets. The dealer rotates the tires every 5000 miles and they are all wearing evenly from outside edges to center of the tires. However with 50,000 miles there is no way I will be able to run these tires for the length of the stated and advertised warranty of 70,000 miles. All previous sets went the full 70,000 miles but not these. I have been told by some tire dealers that Michelin was sold just before I purchased these tires and the rubber is not the same compound as previous LTX M/S2. Considering the premium price these tires cost, I will need to consider other brands for the next purchase.

I am running a set of LTX ...

I am running a set of LTX M/S 2 now on my 2003 Suburban after having achieved 85,000 miles with a set of LTX M/S tires that were one size larger than the tires that came as orignal equipment. This was to help with trailering a 20 ft travel trailer. Ride was harder with the large size LTX M/S. Now with LTS M/S2 of teh same large size ride is smoother than before. I expect to get well over 100,000 miles with these tires. I will not buy any other auto or light truck tire besides Michelin.

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.
