because so much is riding on my tires

this is my 3rd set of ltx m/s tires, before that it was the x radial lt tires. I usually get 55 to 60 thousand miles out of a set. the sure grip in the florida rain. most reliable tire on the road. just bought another set about a month ago. Michelin tires are all I will run on my vehicles. I don't go off road, but we do road trips a lot. I especially like the temperature rating, they stay pretty cool, even after long distance on the interstates.

Michelin is King

I have been an RV enthusiast for many years. Over time, I have tried several brands of tires for my GMC 2500HD tow vehicle. I am now on my third set of Michelins. I have found Michelin tires carry the heavy load of my 5th wheel trailer extremely well. Handling is excellent and road noise is the lowest I have found in a mud and snow type tire. Michelins give me a sense of safety because they have proven to be trouble free over the life of the tire. I use Michelins on all of my vehicles including heavy duty tires with highway tread for my 5th wheel. My only complaint might be that I do not get quite the mileage for tread wear that is advertised. I'm sure this is partly because of the heavy load I carry. The rear tires wear fastest so rotations must be performed regularly. I usually buy new tires when the tread depth is about 4/32nd of an inch and that is about 45,000 miles. I've never found a tire that comes close to Michelin performance and always recommend them to family and friends.

Over 100,000 miles and still going.

I am approaching 110,000 miles on my Michelin tires and they look like they will hang in there for another 20,000 miles or so. These are my first set of Michelins. I have been driving for over 40 years and have never had tires like this that last this long and perform this well. These tires have been a great blessing!

Montana Grand Cherokee
3 out of 5 stars review

Not as good in the winter.

I have the Defender LTX M/S on a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, replacing LTX MS2 tires that I used for 45,000 miles. The car is driven mostly in Montana where we have a lot of slippery snow packed roads and some black ice. I now have 6,000 miles on the new tire, mostly winter driving so far. The tires handle similarly to the ones they replaced, good handling on dry pavement, noise is not an issue. My complaint is that they do not have as much traction on snow-packed / icy roads as the tires they replaced. I can feel slippage at times and places I've driven for years in several generations of Grand Cherokees. Tires seem hard in cold weather

Best tires

A buddy convinced me to use his tire guy, who talked me into buying bargain brand tires that saved a couple hundred bucks, over the Michelins that I’ve always used. I took it on a 300 mile hunting trip that weekend, and they “wallowed,” and the kicker was on the return trip from Del Rio, high winds over a long elevated bridge sent the truck into an “oscillation” that nearly put us into a head on. I took it back, paid for new Michelins and another hundred for the trouble… it was worth it! Those tires right now have 72K miles on them, and I’ll probably get another 10k easy… and I don’t drive bald tires!

Excellent Tires

This is my second set of LTX M/S tires. My first set lasted for nearly 90,000 miles. There are on a 2006 Honda Elements. I drove a lot of interstate miles. There really grip the road in the rain. Snow performance is excellent. I would strongly recommend these tires.

Vibration? Get these Road Force balanced, TRUST ME

Excellent tire once they are Road Force balanced. Both my 4runner and GX470 needed this service. Very few garages offer it, it is a balance machine made by Bear. I tried a garage with a snap-on balancer (TWICE) and a garage with a new Coats balancer- it still shook. The ROAD FORCE balance worked like a charm.

I've driven on Michelin ...

I've driven on Michelin tires since the 70's and have been very happy with all of them. Great styling and tread wear. The current set on my '07 Silverado have 27,500 miles on them and you can barely tell they're used. ( Of course, regular rotation helps ) They are very quiet on the road at any speed. The handling of a full size truck is marginal at best, but these tires can handle anything I can throw at them. I've only been in one emergency braking situation with this truck/tire combination which required hard braking and a quick turn and these tires handled it like a champ. In almost 35 years of owning Michelins, I've never had a manufacture's flaw or any such problem and this current set looks like they will be just as trouble free. I won't ride on anything else but Michelins.

Michelin Tires Are The BEST !

Nothing drives, rides, or last like Michelin. I have been buying Michelin tires forever. I travel the SE and have found after I wear out a set of Michelins 3 times its time to replace the truck. 80 - 90 k miles per set. You pay for them but the value is there compared to other tires plus you can't beat the ride with a stick!

Best tires I ever had

Back in 2005, I bought a set of these tires for my Honda Element. At the time the odometer was at 50,000 miles. Now I am looking at tires again for the same vehicle, which is why I am even on this website. I now have 140,000 miles on the Element. 90,000 miles on a set of tires can't be beat. I will definitely stick with Michelin!
