Starting Off on the Wrong Foot

I bought 4 tires on 12/11/18 for my Toyota Tacoma. These replaced a set of LTX MS 2 tires that had about 72k miles on them. I have a lot of history with Michelin tires between our two vehicles and I always had great success with them. But this set has really disappointed me so far. I had the tires mounted and balanced and on the way home I experienced a noticeable shudder. I took the truck right back to the dealership and they balanced all 4 tires again but to no avail. Another set of 4 tires were ordered and installed and I still had the problem. The dealer ended up measuring the runout (roundness) of every tire and found two tires from the first set and one from the second set that did not roll true. So, from the eight tires, he found 4 that rolled true and put them on the truck. That took care of the problem. How fortunate I was to have a dealer who was patient and truly interested in giving me a good product. I had to go back to the dealer 4 times to get it right and the dealer had to eat the labor cost for the last 3 trips. I sure hope this is not a sign of how well these tires will perform over the long haul. Really disappointed in Michelin quality control on this one.

Smoothest!!!

These are the smoothest riding tires I have had on my 4x4 pickup since I purchased it in 2002. One of the things that amazed me the most was that when they were mounted and balanced, only one of the four tires needed a small weight to balance. The rest required no weights at all!!! Still no weights added at the subsequent rotations and rebalances!! Quality! Quality! Quality! My first set of Michelin's and certainly not my last!!!!!

Great Tires!

I've only had these tires for two months. So far, they are excellent in all aspects. No noise! They look great! They provide a smooth ride! This is the fifth set of Michelin tires for my truck and so far I have never gone wrong with staying with Michelin. Worth the money

quiet and comfortable

I have had these tires for about 2 years. I have driven from Illinois to California 2 times. They are quiet and comfortable. The tread looks nearly new after all those miles. I rotate and keep proper air pressure and the tire does the rest! Thank you for making my SUV a pleasure to drive.

Great tire

Installed on my new 2012 Chevy Conversion Van. I put 20,000 Miles on since last Aug 22nd. Did a long trip tp CA. DROVE 10,000 Miles. Tire looks great on my van they really fill the wheel well. The ride was great and they still look like new. Very satisfied with this tire and will buy them again.

Just Purchased 10/25/2019

I have purchased Michelin Tires since the 1970's, everytime I have thought... hmmm, wonder if there is a better tire and purchased another brand... I paid for it up the b.... I'm reading all the bad reviews, so I will set a baseline here & now. I will definetly be back if these tires don't live up to the warranty. But, I can say all my Michelin Tires from the past exceded the warranty, my other car, a Celica, the Michelins have out lasted the warranty. The ride for the last 6 days have been very nice so far, just like always.

Have 60,000 miles on set ...

Have 60,000 miles on set of Michelin tires on heavy Diesel pick up and going strong. While pricing out new set was advised that have a good 15,000 left on tread. Has been mostly highway miles but towing RV trailer for half of it. Good handling and traction for highway tread. Fourth set of Michelins and will buy again.....

I just returned from an ...

I just returned from an off road trip in the PA mountains with a couple of Jeep buddies. It had rained and snowed the day prior and I was expecting to have trouble driving the logging trails with these tires. I was pleasntly supprised with the performance under these conditions. Granted these are not full off road tires but, I went thru alot of muddy, steep elevation changes with no traction problems. The tow ropes stayed in the Jeep. I use these tires for 99% on road use and they provide great mileage with a confortable ride. I was just suprised as to how well they performed under a very challenging condition. Thank you Michelin for bringing out the hidden goat in my suburban Jeep.

I think these tires ...

I think these tires should receive 5 stars but the price are on the high side. When I go into tire stores I have to hagel with them for my Michelins. I have three trucks and my daughter has two. All but one has Michelins on them. When it's time for the Explorer I'll put Michelin on it. I like not to keep buying tires, I'd like to buy them once.

Like buttah, baby!

I put the Michelin tires on my 2008 Silverado extended cab that has some suspension mods that made it run hard and loud on the stock tires. I also needed higher load rating tires than the stock ones I was rolling on. The Michelins were like nirvana...very quiet and smooth on the road...like buttah, baby! They are wearing very well,too. So, I am going to put a set on my Durango next. Great tire!
