I have had many sets of ...

I have had many sets of the LTX tires on my pick-up trucks over the years. My wufe and I do alot traveling with our 5th wheel trailer and have had exelent service from our tires. Michelin has been my tire of choice for over twenty years. I consistently get 85,000 miles or more from each set of tires.

Good Tires Will buy again

I had Michelin LTX M/S for 80,000 miles on my 1999 Durango. Awesome, best tire I ever owned. Suv died before tires. Tires were still good. I was so pleased, I put brand new ones on my 2001 Tahoe with 200,000 miles. I only have 30,000 miles on new tires, but feel like brand new. I will buy again. A little more expensive up front, but over life of tire, I don't think you can buy any better tire(for a big SUV) period.

Great All Purpose Tire

These tires came new on my 2009 Honda Pilot - I put 95,000 worry free miles on the original set. I just bought 4 new ones this week and hope to have similar results. Great ride, great wear (with faithful rotation), low road noise and never any vibrations or flats. I really like these tires.

Excellent all-round tire!

The Michelin MTX M/S is a great all-around tire. After 53,000 miles on these as stock tires on my 2010 Honda Pilot, and after extensive on-line research, I decided to replace them with the same tire. They are excellent on the highway, and give a superb feel and control. They also do well in the snow/sleet/rain that we get here in Maryland in the winter. I also take them on a yearly off-road excursion in the Outer Banks, to a beach house that is only accessable by driving on the beach 8 miles each way - this is not a hard-packed beach like Daytona, but just the beach - have never gotten stuck and am sure that I won't. They are a little on the pricey side, but I would rather spend a few extra bucks on tires than on an insurance deductable because I saved a few bucks on tires and got into an accident. Just this past weekend I drove up to New Jersey in a terrible dounpour most of the way, and I felt confident that me and my family were just fine with these tires - no hydroplaning issues and a solid feel. Would definately buy these again. I am a huge fan of the brand - great tires (I have Pilot Sport A/S Plus's on my 04 TL, and they are the best tires I have ever owned).

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.

BEST TIRES EVER ! IMPROVED MY RIDE 75 %

Just bought these Defenders . My 2011 Ford f150 never rode so smooth ! Excellent in the rain and man talk about an improved ride. It's literally like a different truck. They are without a doubt the best tires I ever owned ! The best money I ever spent ! I never do reviews but went out of my way to do complete this one. You truly only get what you pay for. I am 67 years young and these are the BEST !!!!

LTX M/S on my old Suburban

I use these tires on my old Chevy Suburban to haul my 4500 lb sailboat out of the water at wet launch ramps and then back in after doing biannual maintenance to the boat. I also use this boat to haul the boat away from the ocean in the event of a hurricane near Charleston, SC. I need excellent load carrying capability and traction, and these tires perform flawlessly.

Weak sidewall

I sliced the side wall open while driving on hard top on a pice of lumber at low speed. Only 12,000 K on the set. Now wether to replace two or all four as its a 4X4. Disappointing, good fuel economy and ride though. Maybe I would have better luck with AT/2? Its the sort of failure I associate with off road use.

Buy only this tire!

This is the second set of these tires I have put on my Ridgeline. The first went well over 80k miles and were riding like they were from day one! Rotate, balance and enjoy the superior ride, traction and overall performance of this tire with complete confidence. Whatever you drive, you'll appreciate even more so sitting on these!

Nice Tire Terrible Rock Thrower on F250

I have had many sets of Michelin tires. (Probably close to 8.) Only 2 bad tires they replaced without issue. I have these tires on my wife's Sequoia and my mother's 4 runner. Excellent tires on them. I bought these for my 2020 F250. These are HORRIBLE at throwing rocks! The grooves in the center of the tire (there's 5 of them if I recall) love to grab rocks from gravel driveway/roads and kick them up on my truck. These would hold rocks even at high speed and eject them when doing 80 mph on freeway. I have no idea why those grooves need to be so wide on a highway tire??
