A few months back I ...

A few months back I slapped on my second set of Michelin tires AFTER I finished getting 100k miles from my last set of LTX M/S! I truly believe regular rotations/balancing and proper inflation make all the difference in the world. Yes, these tires have a premium up-front, but you definitely get what you pay for in this case. That's why I have a new set of Michelins on my 4Runner now and we just put a new set on my wife's new MDX this past summer. I really have no desire to buy another brand - my experience with those tires was that good!

GREAT TIRES

Michelin in my opion are THE BEST TIRE on the market. Have had them on all my vehicles. Replaced the set on my GMC Pick/up (daily driver) after 75,000 + miles with a new set of Michelins, and put the old set on the farm Pick/up last year. Also have them on the Wife's Yukon and they have 60,000 + miles on them and still have plenty of tread left. You won't get that kind of ware out any of your competitors!

I just installed my second set of LT M/S 108s. The first set lasted 110 thousand miles and still had 4/32 of tread left! We have a lot of rain in FL and the wet weather braking was exceptional. The tires were balanced when they were first installed and there was never a sign of vibration for their entire life. I never did anything special other than watching the inflation pressure and rotating them on a regular basis. We keep our vehicles for a long time and I am sure the new set will perform equally as well as the first.

Great tire for certain vehicles

I purchased these tires for a Escape Hybrid in November. These tires replaced the Michelin Lattitude Tour series (which is no longer offered in this size) based on Michelin's recommendations. These tires are essentially a light truck tire with extra load capacity, so the ride quality is notably harsh and there is more tread noise at low speeds. The total rolling resistance is considerably higher, lowering the Average Fuel Economy on the Escape by over 8 MPG. This tire is a good choice for light trucks and larger heavier SUV's, but a poor choice for smaller SUV's or hybrids.

REALLY loud! from a Michelin fan

My 2003 Lexus LX470 has 195,000 miles on it, all with Michelin tires. I installed these Michelin Defender LTX on it, they sound like I'm driving a monster truck. Ride is fine, noise is so unbearable my wife won't drive the vehicle anymore. Wish I could get my old Michelins back.

Great Tires

I recently bought four LT-MX tires for my 2011 Honda Pilot. The Honda dealer and tire dealer recommended the Latitude tire due to its smooth ride, comfort, mileage, and low noise. However, my occasional driving requires more grip, so I chose the LT-MX. My decision was largely based upon †he positive comments made by previous owners of these tires for similar vehicles and types of driving. I noticed an immediate difference in the ride from the original factory tires. The ride was smooth, steady, and not noisy at all. I plan on getting another set, when these tires are no longer serviceable.

I took delivery of a new 2004 Chev Tahoe 4WD. Before I picked it up I paid the difference to upgrade to a set of Michelin LTX's. This is not my first time on this model of tire and auto. 89,000 miles later I went back for a new set. The ride even as they get some miles on them is great. They always rebalance beautifully. I'll go for Michelins for my ZO6 Corvette when I wear out the original tires it came with.

Michelin LTX wear like Iron

I have had these tires on my 1993 suburban, 1999 suburban and my 2005 Duramax Diesel Crew Cab Silverado pickup truck. I wouldn't put anything else on a vehicle like these. When I sold the 93 suburban the tires had 50,000 miles on them and they still looked like new. They wear like iron but give a great ride. You won't be disappointed.

The Ultimate Highway and Off-Road Ranch

I have been using Michelin LTX MS tires for years now. I've tried other brands and have always gone back to Michelin. The LTX MS is great not only on the highway, but performs well on the ranch and has never let me down. These tires have survived thorns, sharp rocks, and then provide a smooth and quiet ride back home.

LTX M/S

I have always loved and purchased Michelin tires for my truck. The LTX M/S is an excellent all weather tire that I have been able to achieve up to 70 thousand miles on. So, when I needed a set of tires I didn't even consider any other brand. I purchased a new set and had them put on. Simple as that. I don't put a lot of miles on my pick up so even though they are 4 years old, they have almost original tread. However, they are cracked and rotting on the side walls. When I brought this to the attention of the dealer, he said that Michelin's are notorious for their environmental cracks. They are in terrible shape and according to the dealer, I'm stuck with them.
