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)).

Simply the best all season tires.

We have been driving with MICHELIN LTX MS for a long time.They are quite riding, long lasting with good fuel mileage. Excellent in rain and snow but not icey roads. I have used them year round with no problems and we get a lot of snow. But we do prefer studded tires for icey roads.

Rough and loud

I was very happy with these tires for the first 5 months, smooth and quiet. As soon as our weather turned cold in October the tire compound hardened and they get loud and have a terrible vibration. They got progressively worse through the winter. I rotated on schedule and had the alignment checked and adjusted (if needed) at each rotation. My dealer said he had others experience the same type of issues. I will be replacing these tires with less than a years worth of use. Very disappointing considering the small fortune they cost. I had the Premier LTX prior to this set. They only got 43,000 miles out of the 60,000. I’m 0-2 on Michelin.

Best

I have a 1998 GMC Suburban. After I wore out the factory tires at @ 25,000 miles that came on this vehicle when I bought it new. I then decided to get Michelins, from past experience. I have over 180,000 miles on my truck. I am on my second set of Michelins and still going strong. I get a consistent 70,000 to 75,000+ on these tires. You do get what you pay for absolutely. Michelin,...see ya soon for my next set.

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).

So Far So Good

We were looking for a new set of tires and wanting great performance, longevity and ride noise. We came across this tire and for the first several weeks all has been good. We've dealt with some rain and icy conditions and no lack of performance issues so far. The ride noise has been the most impressive including during a road trip we took as well. We've been impressed so far with some of the key aspects we were looking for.

Great tires great wear

My Honda Ridgeline came with Michelin LTX/MS on them from the factory. After almost 66K miles they were still passing inspection. These are great tires for me and my truck. I just purchased a second set and if I get another 66K miles all is good. The rating was for 60K and we surpassed that. The ride is great and those few times I am off road or in the snow, the perform great. I am one happy customer!

Forget the rest, buy the Michelins!

My first set of Michelins weren't purchased by me new. I traded for a used Ford Bronco that had a set of MTX's on it that had 60,000 miles already on the tires. They were still in great shape and I decided to drive on them until I needed new tires. Well, I drove the wheels off of that Bronco and even after I put another 60,000 miles on the Michelins I was amazed that they were still in pretty good shape. Since then, I have always bought Michelins. They may cost a little extra when purchased but they will outlast two sets of the other national brands. Now I tell all my friends, "Forget the rest, buy the Michelins!"

Very planted and quiet

Have my Defenders now for just about 3000 miles on a 4Runner. Not the off-road tire, no - but for 99% of my travels, these tires are great. Smooth ride and they feel sure planted. No snow yet .... Rain driving, I didn't feel any risk or anything. They seem to react better when it was wet out. Very Happy with my purchase.

Purchased for Jeep Wrangler

Superior difference in handling when on the road and at high speeds. Very smooth and better handling than the replaced Michelin tires that came from the factory. They look good and a bit more aggressive. So far very pleased with the tires and extremely happy with Discount Tires in Sioux Falls, SD. Our rep, Todd, went way out of his way to help us with the cost of our tires.
