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.

Not at all satisfied

Purchase these tire based on past experience with Michelin. Returned the next day with a vibration thought it was bad balancing, the second balancing did nothing complained with no results. A few weeks later went to my dealer and had the tires balanced again but to no avail. Returned to the supplier that I staled them and was told the they had found a problem with some on these tires. Asked for resolution and was told it was complicated. Finally they will replace these defective tires but I will have to pay for the wear on them. This is not rite as I have been complains since day one. No happy about this at all.

Road Safety

We live in the Sierra Nevada mountain area and have warm summers and cold snowy winters. My wife and I are real estate professionals and need to be confident that our vehicles are safe and reliable as we share properties with our clients. Our Michelin tires have been great and we can handle the various conditions of the road we encounter each day.

Pleasantly Surprised

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

Best tire made

I bought a set of Michelin P245/70 R16 LXT for my 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee all wheel drive a few years back now the tires have over 101000 miles on them. I measured the tread today and all tires are still have from .192 to .222 thousants of an inch of tread left. The most I have ever gotten out of previous tires is 65000 miles. Thesr are great tires and I insisted that a car I bought in 2011 had Michelins on it. Thank You Jim

Great OEM Tire

These tires are OEM on my Honda Ridgeline. With previous vehicles I have usually changed the original tires when they were coming up for replacement. I have been very impressed with the Michelin tires and will look to get another set at the appropriate time. Handling has been very good and our area has had an abundance of rain, which has been a great test of stability during wet conditions. The LTS M/S tires have been excellent in this regard. Thanks Honda for using these tires on your vehicle. For the first time in 5 vehicles, I will be keeping them.

Stop Looking

I bought these for my 04 Range Rover....19inch and Went with the 60 series....Fantastic tire...fills up the wheel well....they corner without noise....They stick to dry pavement with all the traction my Rover can use. They never break loose on dry asphalt. Deep snow is fine as long as it's not hard to push through. They offer great traction on snowy roads mind you I have all wheel drive. They are super quiet and I have tried many brands....These are the best...anyone says different they have bad suspension, or they are not capable at discerning a difference. In two years the new tire rubber bits have just worn off. Off road...slick rocks, moderate sand, 6 to 8 inches of mud...river crossing, hill climbing...truthfully...good enough for 90% of what I do. I may go with the AT2 but unfortunately I have to buy new 20 inch rims. They don't make them in 19inch....COME ON MICHILEN MAKE 19INCH PLEASE!!! I prefer the larger side wall...60...65....They are quieter...they ride smoothly and they have more cushion when you are off road!....MAKE THEM PLEASE....255/60/19 AT2...Otherwise these are the best all around truck tires you can buy.

Best tires I have ever owned

I bought 4 new tires from my local car dealer. The tires perform in all types of weather with excellent grip. In addition, the tires have given me great wear, they currently have 45,000 miles and still show a significant amount of tread. There is no road tire noise of any kind and I get great mileage. So, in summary, very safe, great wear, no noise, great mileage and no required maintenance (other than allignment). Yes, I will buy them again.

great product

The best tires money can buy, I replaced factory tires Bridgestone with only 3,000 miles on them because I had two flats and then after a rotation developed a vibration I could not get rid of, put the Michelins on an no problem and all the other problems went away, plus I know with winter coming and wet weather the Michelins will be much safer on the road. I have them on all three of my vehicles.
