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.

Best Truck Tire

I replaced the stock tires on my Dodge Ram Hemi truck at 20,000 miles with Michelin 20 inch LTX M/S due to the fact they handled so poorly when it rained. The stock tires had become quite dangerous on a wet road due to hydroplaning, failure to stop and oversteer at low speeds as if I was driving on ice. They were very easy to break traction with on a dry road as well. The tires still appeared brand new and had plenty of tread left and had always been poor performers from the time the truck was new. The new Michelin tires made me feel like I was driving a different truck and all the problems I had been encountering in wet conditions were solved. The LTX M/S performs wonderfully well on a wet road and are pretty difficult to break loose on a dry road. The handling characteristics are superb and when you consider the mileage rating, Michelins cannot be beat.

Longest Lasting tire

Best tires I ever had on a large truck/suv. Did so good on my Dodge Durango for 80,000 miles, I sold it with them still on it & bought a set for my Chevrolet Tahoe... only 50,000 miles on them but still going strong. Reliable, never flat & very minimal wear.

I have owned 3 sets of these tires on a Dodge Dakota and a 2003 Ford Explorer Sporttrac ... when the factory tires are about half done, I just get a new set of the Michelins ... they are great in the wet (which is my main concern with these vehicles) also very good in the snow - I get about 75,000 miles of weat out of them ... when my 2009 Sporttrac needs new shoes (in the Spring) ... I will be looking for a set of Michelins

I do mechanical design ...

I do mechanical design work and I am an avid mountainbiker; as a result, I know the importance of product quality and functionality; espesially where the "rubber meets the road". Two things matter on my SUV: tires and battery. I have tried many different tires and nothing compares to these. Long tread life, dependable hold, and precise control. Put these on and you are set for years to come.

Love my tires

On my Chevy Silverado HD Diesel pick up they are great for mileage over the other tires I have used. Traction is great in wet weather and snow also. I will be replacing them with new ones the same when they wear out. I will get about 50,000 miles as opposed to 35-40,000 on previous brands.

Nice tires

The tires have a great ride and feel. I have noticed that I am getting about 2 miles per gallon less than my old tires. I realize it could be a variety of things but my driving habits are about the same. It is the beginning of winter so maybe that has something to do with it.

These are the best tires ...

These are the best tires at any price point I have tried. They were initially purchased for my personal vehicles and I now order them for our fleet vehicles in the oil field. They have consistently exceeded the estimated mileage life cycle. The majority of the time they are replaced due to age. They are properly maintained and rotated but it does not effect the wear as much as other tires. They are not cheap but with these...you get what you pay for in life.

Quiet and smooth ride

I have had my tires for about 10,000 miles. They are very quiet, and give me a smooth ride as well. I believe in Michelin tires and have purchased them for half of my life. They have never failed me and I have never had a problem with any of my Michelin tires getting cupped on the edges and making noise. They are not the cheapest tire but they are worth the cost in the long run. Spend the time to rotate them every 5000 miles and they will last you a long time.

Michelin Makes the Best Tires Hands Down

I've been running Michelin LTX M/S on my '89 F150 for over 15 years now and have had zero problems with them. I just put on my third set and actually ran the last ones a bit too long. Even though they were severely sun damaged and had little tread left, I had no problems with them on the road regardless of running with a load, trailer, or empty. I wouldn't want to run any other brand of tire. You may be able to buy a cheaper tire, but there is no other tire that will give you this kind of performance and reliability. After working in a tire store for many years, I only want to buy Michelin products! I've seen too many issues with other brands to take a chance on saving a few bucks.
