These tires have done ...

These tires have done well in summer as well as winter driving (both snow and ice). The ride is plush, and that's both the good and bad news. Comfortable (if a little mushy) heading straight down the road, but they don't inspire confidence in turns. Too much 'give' in the sidewalls for my taste.

Tire replacement

You replaced my LTX tires under Warranty, these fit on a 2003 ford E250 cargo van, I always got excellent mileage out of these tires includeing the ones you recalled from me, we replaced these on 239,450 miles, I have 270,418 miles on van at present and the only have 4//32 0f tire tread left, shouldn`t wore down this fast, as I keep my tires balanced and rotated every 5000 miles for life extention . they now have only 30,968 miles on them, this van is on the road and expressway frequently. just curious if this was normal mileage , your warranty states this is a 70,000 mile tire, if so I am 4/32 from being bald, thank you

great tires

Great traction on all types of road surfaces, I was surprised by the low road noise and I have had great wear results. I have been a Michelin man for over 20 years now and will only buy from this great line of tires! In fact, when I buy a new car, I insist that it comes with Michelins!

The Ultimate Highway and Off-Road Ranch

I have been using Michelin LTX MS tires for years now. I've tried other brands and have always gone back to Michelin. The LTX MS is great not only on the highway, but performs well on the ranch and has never let me down. These tires have survived thorns, sharp rocks, and then provide a smooth and quiet ride back home.

What a great set of tires!

These are my favorite SUV tires and have bought two sets. They are on my 1998 4 wheel drive Blazer and like my last set, are wearing like iron! They still have lots of tread left even after 40,000 miles, and never hydroplanes in heavy rain. Mileage also improved over the set previously on it, and you can"t beat the traction. They took very little weight to initially balance, and are still smooth. Well worth the cost.

Have been using various ...

Have been using various Michelin tires almost exclusively since the early 1970s. The few times I've purchased another brand, I regretted it very soon. In my opinion Michelin simply makes the best tires available at a reasonable price, which usually winds up being among the lowest cost per mile, even though a larger investment up front. I especially appreciate the real safety factors such as good stopping characteristics, good traction on slick roads, low propensity for hydroplaning.

Going to give them another chance

The tires are quiet and give a good ride. However, after 4.5 yrs and 38K miles, two of them are dry rotting and the tread is almost gone off of the other two. I sliced one open around some road construction so I am going to buy another set and see if this was just a fluke. I have had success with past Michelin tires, my last set lasted 80k miles.

Makes a difference!

Bought these tires to replace the original tires on my Honda Pilot. Original tires wore completely out by 27,000 miles. After researching tires, not something I care to do again, and asking around, everyone led me straight to the Michelin LTX M/S for my SUV. They were right. My original tires were bumpy, really noisy, and just plain awful. Driving with the Michelin's on is like night and day. The difference was amazing and immediately noticed. The LTX's are quiet, comfortable, and have great traction both in wet and dry conditions. I will suggest to everyone to stay away from the cheaper tires (not sure that anyone should pinch a penny on tires...save that for peanut butter), stop looking, and just get the Michelin's. Your vehicle will thank you!

Defender LTX M/S (vs original Premier LTX)

I replaced to Defender LTX M/S from original Premier LTX which was recommended as 'same' by tire specialist for my Pacifica Limited AWD. Wrong! It is noisy and bouncy at all speed. Also lost 0.3 mpg. No big deal on mpg loss. This tire may be better fit for pickups and off roads.
