Nice But Didn't Last

I purchased these tires for my Tahoe in 2016 because they came highly recommended. I've really liked their performance over these years with the gentle driving I do, mostly city -short distance to work, errands, and one trip to Colorado. However, I've only driven 38,000 miles thus far and am being told I need to replace due to tread wear. I understand the recommended replacement time period, but it seems the tread should have lasted longer than this. Am I missing something?

New Defender LTX M/S tires

The first thing that I noticed was that they were quiet. Number two, I didn't downshift into third gear climbing the bridge on my way to the gym. I stayed in overdrive and the truck pulled the hill very well. With the old tires I had to downshift to get over the bridge. Thirdly, the traction difference is very noticeable and lastly my handling has improved. I should see an improvement in my gas usage per mile. Excellent choice for me. This my second set as I put a set on my other truck. Highly recommend these tires.

Excellent Performance and Service

Michelin LTX M/S tires have 30,000 miles plus and show no signs of wear while performing excellently in show, ice, rain as well as dry conditions. Braking and control in all conditions are excellent! Ride is comfortable and tires can be inflated to handle trailer and heavy loads.

This is the 31 x 10.50 ...

This is the 31 x 10.50 R15 LT LTX M/S They were expensive and I really liked them at first. But the Older they got.. The noisier they got. They really started to make much noise. I know this is an oversized tire.. Fuel efficiency dropped about 4-6 mpg.

Just bought 3rd Set

I am fairly picky and just bought my 3rd set. First set was bought due to high road noise for tires that came with car. First set only lasted 55k but my daily driver never rotated her tires so tread wear not even and had to turn em in early. First set was so quiet I went with a 2nd set but this time daily driver was religious about rotating tires so going with a third set after 83k miles.

Safety for the long haul

We had these on our Chevy Trailblazer, because I had previously had this series on another vehicle, and was very pleased with the traction in snow. Again, these never disappointed me and better yet, we got 80,000 miles out of them, and they wore evenly all the way across the tread, and remained very effective until they simply had no tread left. Best set of tires I have ever had.

My tires are more than reliable!!!

I will only buy Michelin Tires. They are so reliable and Michelin tires beat the prices of many other competitors in their class. I do a lot of highway driving and I can honestly say, I have gone a lot farther than the recommended 50,000 miles and my ride is always smooth in my SUV. I do my rotations and get them checked regularly. Thank you for such an awesome product that I feel safe riding my family around on our many trips and day to day activities.

Starting Off on the Wrong Foot

I bought 4 tires on 12/11/18 for my Toyota Tacoma. These replaced a set of LTX MS 2 tires that had about 72k miles on them. I have a lot of history with Michelin tires between our two vehicles and I always had great success with them. But this set has really disappointed me so far. I had the tires mounted and balanced and on the way home I experienced a noticeable shudder. I took the truck right back to the dealership and they balanced all 4 tires again but to no avail. Another set of 4 tires were ordered and installed and I still had the problem. The dealer ended up measuring the runout (roundness) of every tire and found two tires from the first set and one from the second set that did not roll true. So, from the eight tires, he found 4 that rolled true and put them on the truck. That took care of the problem. How fortunate I was to have a dealer who was patient and truly interested in giving me a good product. I had to go back to the dealer 4 times to get it right and the dealer had to eat the labor cost for the last 3 trips. I sure hope this is not a sign of how well these tires will perform over the long haul. Really disappointed in Michelin quality control on this one.

Michelin Tires Exceed Mileage Projection

I always purchase Michelin tires because of their extensive life and mileage performance. My last set of tires on a Ford Explorer lasted for over ten years and 100,000 miles. My current set of Michelin tires of all weather tires are over five years old and have over 60,000 miles.

Best Tire Ever

I was looking for a smooth riding quiet tire for my SUV. I got that and more. comfort was a big deal and so was road noise. I drive on open road a lot and long trips. I tow a boat with my SUV. the LTX M/S looks great with it's raised white letters. handles great wet and dry roads. braking is great. I was most surprised by it's traction in snow. living in the north east thinking I would need a more aggressive tire to handle the snow. not the case. I made the rite choice. the only thing that I would say that was bad about this tire. was the little cracks around the bead of the tire as it aged . dry rot . LTX M/S A+
