Great handling in crisis situation

A year ago, my 2008 F150 needed new tires. The original tires were 255/65-17 but Michelin had none in inventory and none scheduled to be produced so I had bought the 265/65-17. The tires have great road handling grip as was illustrated a short time after the purchase. During a rainstorm on an isolated two lane black-top, they helped me avoid a head-on collision when a car crossed into my lane and just kept coming despite my flashing headlights and blasting of the horn. I had two of my 14 year olds with me and since there were no other cars on the road, we quickly swerved to the left as the "distracted driver" flew past us in our lane at 70+ mph. I immediately thanked the Lord for the new Michelins and our safety. Today, after 16,000 miles the tread-wear has worn from 13/32" to 10/32" so I expect to get around 60,000 miles and about 3 more years from this set.

I have nothing but good ...

I have nothing but good things to say about the LTX M/S. Having 5 daughters playing hockey, I have had many miles driving on these tires. I have driven through many snow storms and unplowed roads. Traction has been wonderful. One trip to Duluth Minnesota we experienced a storm which closed the city. Duluth is pretty hilly, the amount of snow we had to navigate was challenging. One of the parents thought I had four wheel drive. He could not believe it was only two wheel drive and was impressed how well the Michelin tires performed. Bib would be proud. I have convinced two friends to change to Michelin and they have been very happy with them. When its time for new tires I know they will be Michelin.

Excellent tires!

These are the best tires I have ever owned. They are my second set and I plan on putting a set of Michelins on my wife's Honda CR-V next month. As far as use, I am a licensed Private Investigator and basically follow people for a living. I drive approximately 30,000 miles a year and many of these miles I am forced to drive faster and harder than I normally would under regular conditions and these tires handle well and have never failed me. Lastly, we own 3 vehicles and I check the tire pressure once a month on all three and I rarely have to add air.

Splits in sidewall

For the second time one of my tires has split on the sidewall. The last time Michelin said my husband must have run over something. Now the second tire has also split on the sidewall. Don't know how these got all of these good reviews. We will never buy another Michelin since they seem to be junk!

Great Tires with Outstanding Road Noise Suppression & Wet Traction

Third set of the Defender LTX M/S tires on two diesel pickups used to tow approximately 15,000 # fifth wheels. They are quiet, great wet traction and decent in snow. These tires are not designed to routinely run up and down wet dirt/muddy roads, through fields or Upper Peninsula winters. Love these tires and that is why I am a repeat customer. As with any brand & model tire the vehicle must be in alignment to include the frame or there will be abnormal wear. As with any brand & model tire if the tires are not properly inflated there will be abnormal wear. Proper inflation does not mean pressuring the tire to the maximum number located on the sidewall either.

I have used a total of 48 of these tires since 1989 on two different Dodge 3500 dually trucks,carrying a Lance camper at 5,000 pounds loaded, often towing boats from 17 to 23 feet and travelling from Cabo San Lucas, Mexico to Anchorage. Alaska and throughout Western 1/2 of the US without a single failure. These tires performance in a mix of heavy loads, hot highways and bad roads have given me great confidence during my widely varied travels! I will be a lifelong customer of this superb and reliable product.

I have loaded over twice ...

I have loaded over twice the recommended capasity in my 2500 ram on numerious occassions. When I changed out the first factory set of Michelin's, they had over 85,000 miles with out a problem. My second set suffered the same treatment and were changed out when the odometer hit 180,000, without a dought these are best set of tires I've ever owned,

Good when they're new, do not last however

I've had problems with two sets of these. Both wore out way too quickly. The first set was on my Wife's Toyota Sequoia and the 2nd on my GMC Yukon. I put 12k miles on these and they are down to 5/32nds. I plan to take my pro-rated warranty and buy a different brand once they reach 4/32. I used to swear by these tires and this brand, but not anymore.

As good as I expected

After considerable research for replacement tires on my SUV, I selected the Michelin LTX M/S. The tires are relatively quite on the freeway and their tread design gives me a feeling of confidence in the curves. Very nice tires. Worth a little extra cost.

This set of tires is on a Ford Explorer. They are wearing exceptionally well, and are quiet on the road. Based on the tread depth left, I should get approximately 90,000 miles on this set. I have Michelin Tires on all of my vehicles and would not use any other brand of tires. I have been buying Michelin tires for over 25 years, and I have never been dissatisfied.
