Tires are good for what ...

Tires are good for what it does. Good tracing in the snow and they last a long time. A few gripes that I have is the loud road noise that comes from the tires at high speeds. In addition, two of the four tires I bought were not good since even after multiple balancing and even having my rims checked for deformities, the tires would wobble when the car was in motion. Brought it up with the place where I bought it from and they said it was all right, but my mechanic said that should not be the case and that the tires should be like the other non-problematic one.

Outstanding~!!

I experienced the worse nightmare possible, hundreds of miles from home, stranded on the side of the road, downpouring rain, AAA on the way..Michelin dealer where I had originally purchased these tires called the customer service center for Michelin and..after adjustments were made, had all 4 brand new tires mounted..I am in love with that Michelin man..lol Great way to keep a extremely happy customer~!! Happy New Year really takes on a wonderful meaning this year..Thanks again little guy!~!!

I love my Michelins!

I bought my first set of Michelins in 1973 for an Opel Manta Ralley and never used anything other tire unless the car came with something else. Bought a Honda Accord one time and forced them to put a set of Michelins on before i woyuld agree to the deal. My duaghter was going to be driving the car and didn't want her to have any issues with her tires and have a great trust for the Michelin Brand!

More than happy with these tires

I recently purchaced a 2017 Chevy Colorado. The tires that came on it were possibly ok can't really evaluate them as I replace them with the Michelins promptly after purchasing the truck. The reason I replaced the original tires was due to previously having LTX tires on my previous truck that lasted 11years with no problems, a smooth and quiet ride and excellent performance. I am very happy with your products and will continue to purchase them. Bill Kashmark

Michelin are at least what they are advertised to be

I am 67, and began driving while being supervised at age 15. I was a professional truck driver for many years. I have had or driven dozens of cars, pickups, vans, straight trucks and semi trucks. I am not aware of any brand or tread pattern better than the Michelin LTX M/S. I have watched others experience the tires of their choices, how they made noise or the tread disappeared, or their choices were not even close to the Michelin on wet roads. Other than one source selling the same tire for less, I have not yet heard of or experienced a better tire. I am hoping to, by buying the new Defender for my van.. Thank you Michelin. Sincerely.

most milage for the buck, great tire

I live in the in an area that has chip seal roads. these are the most unforgiving roads on tires. I have 2 4x4 autos. the least milage I have recevied was 21000 miles on a set of tires, not Michelin. next set when needed on my auto will be the Michelin as I know the result from using Michelin. also installed Michelin on my fathers suberu, still on after many miles and in good shape. thank you-

Best kept secret in 4wd tires

This tire is the best one on the road for me. I have over the years taken this tire way, way off road and often I've pulled 4x4's with more aggressive tires than these out of situations they could not get through on their own. I drive a stock 2013 Ram 1500 4wd and these tires not only take me wherever I want to go but they ride smooth. I often go in sand, snow, mud, rocks, you name it and this tire is gonna get you through. It takes a long steady foot on the accelerator but these tires will find a way to get you through. Love my Michelin Truck Tires.

The best tires I've ever purchased!!!!

I purchased my set of four tires on June 21, 2011 before going on vacation with my family. This is my first set of Michelin tires and I can honestly tell you these are the best tires I've ever had. On our trip to Florida from TX, it rained practilly all the way there. I have a long wheel based pick-up and I never experienced any hydroplaning like I have with my other tires. I now have about 40,00 miles on them, and you can hardly see any wear. My wife's SUV also has a set of four on it. I my opionion, these tires are the cream of the crop in the tire industry.

Great Performance

Retired and purchased a fifth wheel. Got a diesel pick up truck to pull it. When it came time to purchase tires, called a friend whose company used the same truck for tire recommendation. He suggested Michelin. Had several less expensive options but wife and I decided to go with the Michelins. Purchase the LTX M/S and been more than satisfied. Pulled the RV around the country with no problems. The tires ride smooth and I believe they help with fuel consumption. Good tire and good service from my local Michelin dealer.

Less then perfect

This is my second set and by far these are less then great, with only 36,000 miles on them they slip (hydroplane) when there is a little water on the road and they slip at start up even on dry roads. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles, I check and correct tire pressure every 30 days, I am wondering if the rubber is now a harder substance, hopefully they make it to 70,000 miles
