Disappointed after 6 years

Bought set of 4 in Jan 2019. Put 50,000 miles on them and the massive cracks between the tread valleys are extremely troubling. All 4 tires have the massive cracks. I have a lot of tread left (65%), but I can't bring myself to drive with them because of how bad the cracks are. I've never seen cracks this bad on tires that are 10 years old let alone 6. Not spending my $ on these again.

91000 miles out of my tires

Put LTX MS tires on my 2001 Ford Excursion Rotated every other oil change and just had to put some others on now and when I started looking at tires the Michlens are so high priced but when I figured out that i got 91000 miles out of them they are cheaper than the others. Hope the LTX MS2 will get as god as the first ones did. Wish they would not have changed to to LTX AT the AT2 are not as good. Love the ride.

Almost the best tires ever!

Best tire ever made for large vehicles that primarily drive on the street. As a small business owner with service vehicles we have purchased a lot of these tires. Why did I rate them a three? Because Michelin cares more about longevity than safety. This goes for all of their truck tires. These tires are the best tires on the road for the first 45,000 miles of tread life and then the rubber compound gets harder and harder as they continue to wear making them so slippery that they easily hydroplane and barely get a good grip on some hard dry surfaces. Do yourself a favor and consider them a 50,000 mile tire. I noticed they are fading these out for the Platinum Edition with a high mileage rating. I'll probably try them soon but I'm sure it's the same result.

good ride and grip. they are weather checking on the sidewall by the tread though. very good when tread is new. the last 1/8 inch they are worn and i can spin the drive tire on wet easy and slide on corners. the tire is only average when it is worn down over 2/3 i would say. new though they are super

I now am on my second set ...

I now am on my second set of Michelins on my Honda Ridgeline truck. I replaced the first set after 90,000 miles and still had some tread left. I know I could have gone to 100,000 miles with them if I had to. I use my truck for business with lots of highway miles and I also use it for hunting purposes. The tires are equally exceptional on the highway and in the woods. I will buy them again.

Great tires! Very happy with the purchase.

Purchased a set of Defender LTX M/S tires for our 2008 Toyota Highlander Limited. Could not be happier! Smooth quiet ride, with very good handling. Recently traveled about 1400 miles over varying types of road surfaces and mountain driving. Felt a lot more comfortable coming down the steep and winding mountain roads that we have traveled many times so very familiar with those roads. Nice looking tires as well. Have not tried rain or snow yet so only rating performance based on dry roads.

I would buy this tire again,

just got the tires for my Suv and its been a month they seem to do a fine job getting through the snow , stopping and starting is a breeze. I never paid attention to the performance of a tire, but after go through my 4th set on the same suv I thought I would try a different type and so far I love em.

Reliability

My Michelin tires are factory tires from Honda (thank you Honda!). Most of my driving is in town with an occasional 600 mile round trip in Texas. I have had the tires for 5 years with NO problem. I am going to replace them next summer with..... MICHELIN!

Had these tires on 2 SUVs ...

Had these tires on 2 SUVs (Suburban and Explorer) with similar results. Both vehicles handled like dreams even in snowy central New York winters. What topped it off was incredible mileage. I rotate tires regularly and check air pressure frequently but I wasn't expecting 60K+ miles from these 2 vehicles. OEM and other branded tires lasted 30-35K before requiring replacement. Overall, I would recommend to everybody!

I purchased these tires, ...

I purchased these tires, because of their long tire life, being quiet while driving on the freeway, and the brand name standing behind them. As for the tire life, I have driven, on the freeway mostly, 55K miles and still have tread left (not hitting the wear marks yet). Traveling daily on the freeway, tire noise becomes an issue with me. I enjoy listening to some good tunes on the radio and not having to listen to my tires howling. These tires don't make tire noise, so they won't interupt the music at all. Finally, Michelin tires stand behind their tires. I've owned many trucks and sport cars in my life without having any issues with the tires that I have purchased. Michelin tires have given me peace of mind even with my family in my car or truck. Yes, these tires are that good!!!
