Dissatisfied

I purchased these units a few months ago and I am not pleased with the handling characteristic's. On straight roads, Hwy's, there good. In mountain roads, Hwy's, they seem to roll. (Soft side wall?) I have purchased many Michelin's over the years and have them on my other vehicles. However, I am very disappointed and not convenient for used on fool weather roads. My intention is to replace them with another manufacture.

Solid and Proven Tire for the Long Run

This tire was recommended by my retailer on the basis of many satisfying customers over many years and it reputation for long wear. I was inclined to buy a more energy efficient Michelin like Latitude for gas savings but was told the LTX's wear noticeably longer and have winter traction advantages so I went with them and will likely spend more on gas and less on tires. I was not able to calculate break even points but know that I lost 1mpg compared to the last tires (not Michelins) on my vehicle. Overall I am very satisfied. I have 25000 miles on them on my Highlander with 9/32nds of tread left so it looks like I can expect about 75000 miles.

The only tire that my family and I buy.

Michelin Tires have become the standard tire of choice for my family's vehicles. The tread wear is excellent and in fact my daughter exceeded the tire tread warranty by 15,000 mile on her Chevy Equinox. The tires ride very smooth and quiet. I have confidence in the tires whether driving in and around town or out of town vacations.

Unbelieveable

Purchased a 5 year old sport trac with 69000 miles. It had new Michelin LTX M/S tires. At 175000 miles and 106000 miles on the tires, I am wondering if they are ever going to wear out? Light hauling, highway miles,some trailering. Great all season tire .Best I have ever owned. Thank You Michelin Man

Rugged deep threaded tire

Bought these tires about 3 years ago. I have put on 30,000 miles and more. These tires look brand new yet and have lots of tread left. They seem to last alot longer then other tires and I would recomend these over all others. I will buy these again if they every wear out.

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 tire for my ...

Excellent tire for my 2001 Tacoma 4x4. Very quiet when new then went through a period of slight tire noise then back to unnoticeable. Traction has been steady throughout the first 45000 miles. Will replace with this identical tire if or when it becomes necessary. Considered this tire for my new Tacoma but purchased the Latitude Tour. Happy with that choice so far however only 3500 miles on that vehicle and tire.

Noisy Tires

Bought a set of Defender LTX M/S tires about 6 months ago. When I first drove with them I noticed that they were very noisy. Had them rotated and balanced at 6000 miles. I discussed the noise problem with the dealer and he had a technician drive my vehicle after the tires were rotated. The technician said the tires sounded quiet to him. I had him ride with me and he said he could hear the tire noise but considered them to be quiet, "quieter than most". I have never had tires this noisy. I would not recommend these tires if you want a quiet ride.

Best tire I've owned

This is hands down the best tire I've owned. Installed on RAM 1500 4x4. Great wet/dry traction. I also do a bunch of snow driving going skiing each winter. This tire is great! I didn't get to the full tread life but that's my heavy right foot's fault.

All Michelin are the BEST TIRES

I have had Michelin tires since 1978, I first purchased them to put on my "Pinto Wagon" yes I said Pinto, she was a 1976. The car did not come with radial tires, and these tires changed everything. I have been a loyal Michelin owner since. The ride is awesome, the wear is awesome, and I feel very safe knowing I have Michelin tires on my Vehicle............ I put different Michelins on my Explorer this time, but the LTX/MS were on my vehicle, I purchased them.....the Latitude is also great, only a 5,000 mi difference in warranty.........If you can do it, always use Michelin. Michelin has come a long way, the one years ago had softer side walls, and that was rough in NYC, having to parallel park............ Thank you Michelin !!!
