Disappointment- LTX M/S Poor Wear

I was a Michelin Man for life until I got 50,000 miles out of my 70,000 mile LTX M/S tires. I paid the higher price to get the mileage that Michelin is known for so I'm really disappointed. My friends are saying the same- they just don't last like they used to. I highway drive back and forth to work and do the occasional hunting trips in my Nissan Titan LE so there is no reason on my part for the excessive tire wear. Sure, to make it better they will give me the 20% for the wear but that does not cover (1) the extra I paid to begin with and (2) all of the extra cost of going thru the mounting process 20,000 miles earlier than expected.

No More Jeep Death Warble!!!

I have owned a 2005 Jeep Wrangler for the past five years, and I spent the first three years of that ownership living with what has been described in many online articles as the "Death Warble." The Death Warble would occur at almost anytime when the vehicle was making a slight turn and then encountered a sharp bump in the road, when traveling between 55 to 65 MPH. The front end of the vehicle would begin to shake violently, and begin loosing control. The only way to stop the shaking was to instantly slow the vehicle to 40 MPH, or flatten the accelerator to the floor. Neither option was popular with fellow drivers or the law enforcement community. So I repeatedly took the vehicle which had only 21,000 miles at the first occurrence back to the dealer, who suggested an extended warrantee, since I had purchased the vehicle used. I had the tires rotated, balanced, and the car aligned, all to no avail. I simply lived with the problem for another two years, until I just couldn't stand it any longer. Finally, at around 60,000 miles I decided it was time for new tires. I purchased four new Michelin LTX-MS tires after hours of online research for tires with a stiff sidewall, which I suspected might be the cause of my problem. I have now logged 30,000 miles on my new Michelins, and I have never once experienced the Death Warble again! Not only that, but I can now actually drive my Jeep comfortably on long trips due to the improvement in ride quality, and I'm getting better gas milage! What more can I say, except, "Well Done Michelin." You may have saved my live, and you most certainly improved the quality of it.

"You get what you pay for"

This is the third set of LTX M/S I've owned and I will not ever own anything else! These tires are perfect for my truck ,long interstate drives or getting a little mud on my tires makes no difference with these babies! My dad always taught me the two most important things on a vehicle were the tires and brakes. He also said your going to get what you pay for, which I didn't always follow his advise. I took the cheaper route and it always cost me more in the end. LTX Michelins will out last and ride smoother then any tire on the market and thats why this guy will never buy anything else. Sincerely Jason Reuter.

Excellent tires

Tires have been on this vehicle for two weeks tops. first bad ice/snow storm we got 2/4/2022 upstate ny. WOW this vehicle performed 110% didn’t slide all over even when I tried to make it loose traction, last month we had snow and I was running the stock Bridgestone dueler tires that came with the vehicle. What a joke them tires are. If Michelin continue to make these tires my 2022 highlander will soon get a brand new pair of defenders LTX m/s. I’m probably just going to remove the Goodyear tires that came with the vehicle. Great job Michelin..

Great tire would buy again!

I have the mtx m/s and use them on my GMC 4/4. These tires will exceed treadlife specified. Mine have 60,000 on them and still some left butt will probably buy new ones before winter. Very good on wet roads without hydroplaning. They plow through snow and have never gotten hung up or skidded even during the ice storm. The only negative thought I have is they are a little above average in road noise butt not a problem. I just bought a set of defender series tires for my sons Accord. He likes his tires more than his girlfriend! He is hooked on Michelin tires just like me. I will never again buy any tire other than Michelin. Worth every penny!

Wear out too fast twice

This tire has worn out at 33,000 miles for the 2nd time. I'm tired of getting a 2nd set at a reduced price. I have them rotated every 5,000 miles so it is not my fault. Disappointed in a company I thought made a decent tires. Thinking about looking elsewhere!

Wow, what a smooth ride!

I have had these tires on my vehicle for a month now and have truly noticed a difference in the drive on the road. We went on a trip in the North Carolina mountains and the tires were glued to the road on every turn. They were noticably quieter than the previous tires and just improved my overall ride in my 2019 Toyota Highlander. I am extremely impressed and will recommend them to both family and friends.

LTX MS tires are the best ...

LTX MS tires are the best tire that could possibly be used on a SUV or a pickup truck!! I have a 2001 Chevy 4X4 using them,and I also ran a set of them on a Ford explorer for over 100,000 miles! Beat that!! I probably won't win this prize,because of the lack of fancy, flashy wording,But I know what will be my next choice in Tires! LTX MS Michelins!

LTX M/S ARE GREAT

This set of tires were purchased about 5 years ago. I have driven the tires +/- 75,000 miles. They still have good tread are wearing smooth and have never had a flat tire. I have them on my GMC Yukon 1997 and am very happy with them. I highly recommend these tires to anyone under any conditions.
