The main reason I buy ...

The main reason I buy Michelin tires for my truck is they are economical to use. They cost less than any tires that I used, based on full life of tire. My Michelin�s have over 70K miles and they have a lot of thread left. The originals where totally gone after 44k with using the spare tire in the rotation on a dually.

I used up all 70,000 miles on this tire

I bought this set of four tires in 2007 for my Explorer at 91, 000 miles. Through rain, snow, hot summers, and dirt roads, they have held up well and done what they were designed to do. Tomorrow, I'll be getting a new set of Michelins (LTX MS 2 s) for the same rig at 162000 miles. They've been good tires. Held up well and are worth the money. Michelin has had a good reputation since forever and I work too hard for my cash to spend it on anything not holding up. These tires probably could go another 10,000 (rotated regularly), but they don't owe me a thing and I'm happy to replace them with another solid set. Thanks for not pushing junk on the market and having a quality product.

Pleasantly Surprised

Purchased for 2007 F150 4x4 for daily use, not commercial. Almost instantly noticed the difference in noise reduction and improved traction both wet & dry. Had heavy rains recently and felt very secure compared to previous tires. Those had approximately 25K miles but just didn't handle the way I wanted and I felt a bit unsafe. I'm hoping these tires handle our Michigan winters. While have only driven these for a couple weeks, I'm extremely pleased with the choice. This may be the 2nd time or 3rd time I have every written a review on any product, especially with such a positive impression. Oh, age 63 and usual a grumpy old man's point of view.

Great Miles

My 07' Honda Ridgeline came equipped with the LTX M/S tires when new, when I replaced the original tires with new LTX M/S tires the original tires had been driven in excess of 92,000 miles and were not yet worn to the wear bars. I personally rotated the tires according to Honda's recommended intervals and maintained the correct pressure @ 31 psi. No repairs were needed throughout entire the life of the original tires. The Honda Ridgeline is known to be a bit-road-noisy so I don't feel I can be objective on the issue of road noise for this tire. Yep on recommending this tire, I brag on it all the time. The Ridgeline is a 4X4 all wheel drive, I hunt in the Big Cypress Swamp-Florida Everglades-and have a permit to use my truck, so far I haven't needed assistance. Cheers

Buy the best forget the rest

Living in NJ with all the quick changes in temperature & weather, I have had all brands of tires on my trucks & vehicles and these tires are the best. They hold the road in rain, snow or windy conditions. I have even talked my friends & co-workers into buying them. So all I can say is "Buy the best & forget the rest"

These tires continue to ...

These tires continue to stand up to worste road conditions with quiete smoothness and ride comfort on my suburbans and now on my pickups. They perform extremely well in both rain and snow here in western Wa. where moutain highways and roads get deluged with both. I have used these tires while also living in the heat of Florida as well as the radical whether variations of Michigan. The heavily worn/noisy roads of western Washington have reduced the safe life of these tires to about 60-65,000 miles which is still more than double of most other tires here in wa. Michlin LTX M/S are the only tires I trust.

Michelin tires are the repeated choice

I chose this tire for my Suburban, 03 4Runner, 02 Tacoma and my 91 4x4 4Runner. The 91' 4runner has had about 20 Michelin tires (they don't last forever) during the 200,000 miles or so since I purchased it. The 10.5 x 31 x 15 radials have been beyond Death Valley in deep desert on rough dirt roads and have brought me safely home time and time again. I used to fear a blow out at 70 plus miles an hour on the freeways after an extreme workout on desert dirt roads and rocks, that not ever happened to date.

89000 miles and tread still great

I just bought another set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Ford Explorer. My last set lasted more than 15 years and 89000 miles and still had 7mm or original tread left. Good running for all those years. No cupping or other problems at all until recent slow leaks developed. I have been buying only Michelin tires for the last 45 years and will never buy another brand.

"ONLY Tires I will use on my vehicles"

I own 4 vehicles and would use no ther tire. When I buy a new vehicle the very first thing I do is replace the tires with Michelins and sell the others. I find that the warranty,wear and overall feeling of safety given by their use is unsurpassed. Fortunately all my children have followed my lead and spend the little extra for the same terrific results. I highly recommend any Michelin tire, but my favorites have always have been the LTX series since we own suvs and trucks.

Excellent traction on the ...

Excellent traction on the hot Florida Highways and most of all in the Florida downpours. The tires that came on my 2003 Honda when new would slide when excelerating from a stopped or slow position, not so with my Michelins. I now feel safe and secure both on the Highway and off in Sun or Rain. When I lived in Connecticut I always prepared for the Winter & Snow Storms with a good set of dependable Michelins for my Lincolns as I had tried several other brands that did not perform near as well nor did the tread last near as long. I have felt Safe and Secure with my Michelins for over 25 years now. The couple of times I tried another brand or purchased a car with another brand I have always gone back to Michelin as the other brands that I have experienced can not compare. Michelin is Number 1 for my cars.
