Loss of Fuel Economy, more road noise

I have been a lifelong Michelin customer. Recently purchased these and my highway fuel economy dropped from 19mpg to around 16.6mpg. I have these tires on a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali which replaced an older set of LTX M/S2 tires that were great. These also have more road noise than the previous model of tire. I've seen reviews that provide the explanation that newer tires are more grippy so i should expect some loss of fuel economy and noise, but this is the first that i have ever experience in a tire from michelin. My previous tire, put them on and all was good, nice and quiet, with the fuel economy that i would expect.

Completely Convinced

I must say I am very impressed..My brother told me about these tires and I wasn't sure about them..Once I purchased them I was truly impressed.. The best riding tires I ever brought.. They impressed me so that I brought a set for my wife car as well..This is my second set for my crossover...

Great Tires

Bought these tires a month ago to replace the same set. Last set had 96,000 miles on them. Definitely not much left on them so it was nice to replace. Went on three trips already with heavy rains and winds, performed great. Great ride, great traction.

Michelin forever

Michelin has been my tire of choice since 2000. New Minivan came with michelins, great selling point. At 80k miles, did not think at the time, needed to spend alot on tires for the now old van. Was I sorry. I traded in old van with very noisy tires. Bought 4 runner could not wait to get michelins on it! Now have 60k on this set, I rotate them faithfully. no sign of needing to replace yet, but when I do no matter how old the vehicle I will buy michelins for every reason. low to no noise, wear, great composite hold the road great in ALL michigan weather. even have michelin on motorhome! 7 years on that set and still going strong.

Michelin LTX 10 ply

This will be my 3rd set. I consistently get 60k miles or more on my 2008 suburban with these. Traction is good, smooth riding, stable. I run the 10 ply tire on my su urban just in case I tow and I like them better than any 4 ply tire I have ever used.

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.

At 24,000 miles, I ...

At 24,000 miles, I replaced the original equipment tires on my 2000 Jeep Wrangler with Michelin LTX M/S. At 127,000+ miles, I was "forced" to replace that set of Michelins with another set just like the other Michelins! Do the math! What more can I say?

LTX M/S - Quite simply the best!

I have been on Michelin's for years and was glad when the non-Michelin dealer tires had to be replaced on my Lexus RX. My local Lexus dealer recommended the LTX M/S and I had excellent prior experience with Michelin LTX tires on other SUVs. Handles great navigating Colorado's mountain passes, even during major snow events. I have pulled other vehicles out of snow banks and ditches as these tires really grip in all kinds of conditions. Very comfortable, smooth ride on dry roads and over long trips. A great all-season tire for paved and dirt roads. Coming up on 30K miles and they still look like-new with even tread-wear. I am diligent about rotating and balancing at recommended mileage intervals.

Nice tires but the warranty is a hoax

I like the handling of these tires and they certainly were way more durable than the original tires on my Honda CR-V but this 90,000 mile treadwear warranty approaches hoax level. It won't benefit you unless you drive over 15,000 miles per year or more. Even if you rotate your tires BY AN AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER every designated period AND have that adequately documented, consider that it might take you longer than the warranty period to drive beyond the tire's ACTUAL lifespan. For me that was about 50,000, but it took me over 6 years to do it, and so out of warranty. Read the fine print - you also have to have PERFECTLY worn tires.

Smoother and more stable.

These make my 2004 explorer more stable, quieter, and overall a much smoother ride. It literally changed the way the entire ride feels. It's not as splashy (sways less also) and definitely feels much more solid, but not firm or harsh. Wet weather is no problem and it handles snow well also. Would have bought M/S 2's but they were not available in size I needed fort limited edition explorer.
