Wont balance and out of round

In the last two weeks I have had two sets (265/65/17) installed and now they are coming of my 4Runner and being replaced with another brand. I have always heard that Michelin was a top tire, but my experience has been terrible. Two out of four from the last set were out of round and it didn't matter what method of balancing was used (we tried road force and traditional) and it didn't matter. The first set was worse so i expect they had the same problem. Very unhappy with the amount of time and trips to tire shop dealing with bad manufacturing / quality control. Will never purchase again.

Absolutely the best

I have had two sets of these tires and they are great. My first set came on my 2007 Honda Ridgeline. I traded it in still with the original tires on it at 91,000 miles in 2010. The same tires came on my 2010 Ridgeline. I just replaced those original tires after 101,000 miles. I bet you can guess what I replaced them with. Well worth a couple extra bucks for an extra 40,000 miles or so from competitor tires. A great product!!!

I have a class-C RV, and have my 2nd set of Michelins on. The first set were 5 years old and the only sign of wear was due to a slight front end alignment. The rear showed no visible wear at all with 50M miles. However it was time to replace. The spare had never been off. I check pressure on all tires including the spare when we go for our monthly outing.

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.

Good tires to have on your vehicle.

I have almost 52,000 miles on my tires. I could go probably another 5 to 8,000 miles. Thread is getting close to the tire wear markers. We are an older couple in our mid-70's. I decided to purchase another set of 4 because I wanted to be sure we do not have tire problems. We still travel a lot. Handles in all weather very well plus the potholes in a few roads we travel. Be safe/feel safe with these tires. We have over 100,000 miles on our truck.

Tire vibration is bad

I have about 30,000 miles on these tires. I previously had 2 sets of LTX M/S 2 tires and they were great. I have never been able to get these tires to balance properly. On certain road surfaces, these tires vibrate and make the steering wheel shake. It's not all roads and not always at the same speeds. I will not buy these again. Please build the LTX M/S 2 again.

Best Highway tire I have found

I bought these tires because someone told me they had a good ride. I found out later that they pull good in the light mud, light snow. I have had them on my truck now for over 50,000 miles and still have about 20,000 miles left. I am currently looking at a set for my Jeep. I wish all tires lasted as long as these.

I had purchased some for ...

I had purchased some for my Suburban and planned to keep the vehicle until the tires wore out. The vehicle wore out before the tires did. When my tires needed to be replaced on my next vehicle I did not hesitate to replace them with Michelin. I've got almost as many miles on them as I did on the original tires and they have shown very little wear.

Most dependable tires on the market.

I won't buy any other tires. The Michelins that I replaced on my GMC Sierra truck had 101,000 miles and had plenty of tread remaining. The new Michelins are amazing and the ride is even better than before with the 3 year old set. I'm a Michelin tire fan for life. Getting ready to put a new set on my GMC Yukon XL.

Worth Every Penny

I have bought these same tires for almost ten years and they have been worth every penny, every time. Knowing my wife and children are counting on the tires to perform I spent a little more and get so much more. I don't worry about tire performance with these Michelin LTX M/Ss on my SUV. If you are wondering if it is worth it, go for it.
