The Michelin LXT M/S ...

The Michelin LXT M/S tires I put on my truck last year, is a decision I am glad I made. But it was an easy decision to make. I already knew of Michelin's reputation for quality. My dad always bought Michelin tires for his cars. Dad was very picky about his cars and what he put in them or ON them. I feel confident on the road with my Michelins. I don't worry about the rain, the changing road conditions, or how my truck will handle with these tires. The wife's car will need new tires soon. Getting her a set of Michelins. It's a family tradition.

The only compaint I have ...

The only compaint I have is that one of the tires failed less than 2 weeks after purchase. Traveling 65 mph on a straight stretch, my drive wheel tire had a side wall blow-out. This could have proved fatal had it been non-straight stretch road. However, since it's replacement there has been no problem and we are more than satisfied with them.

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.

Rough Road Capable

I drive down a 10 mile rough gravel road twice a week. The road is known to eat up tires. The Michelin LTX MS tires hold up exceptionally. I drive highway miles as well as this road. I put on about 16,000 miles a year. The gravel road has a reputation for eating up tires. The Michelins have endured without any problem. I am very pleased with this product.

15k so far and excellent

We bought two sets of these tires about 15 months ago. The Michelin Defender LTX are wonderful tires for my wife’s 2011 Odyssey van and my 2009 Acura MDX suv. Have road tripped them both 1000’s of miles and they are smooth and quiet and are also great around town whether wet or dry. I took the Acura to the Rocky Mountains and these tires inspire great confidence even through a foot of fresh snow. And quiet on the highway (less than 68db). Plus the 18” version of these tires have 12/32 of tread when new, so they are going to last a long time. Much better for a heavy van and SUV than the “regular” Defenders IMO, since those are built for lighter cars, while the LTX version is for heavier ones like a loaded down minivan (well north of 5500 pounds when loaded with 6 people, 2 dogs, and tons of luggage). Don’t be turned off by the LTX version for your minivan or luxury SUV. They look cool too, are built for a heavy vehicle, and are still super smooth. I have about 15k miles so far on the Acura MDX’s tires. Just drove it 2500 miles round trip with the LTX tires to the Colorado mountains and back through all types of weather: dry and smooth interstate as well as blinding snow a foot deep. They were super smooth and quiet crossing Kansas on the interstate, and never slipped in the Colorado snow. Could not be more pleased. I would recommended this version of tire over the regular Defender for heavier vehicles, since I would not have thought about an LTX tire since one normally thinks about a pickup for an LTX tire. The tires have stayed 100% balanced (as all Michelin tires do!) and wear evenly. Kudos to Michelin for engineering a great tire for all the family vans and SUVs out there.

Bad tire

I purchased 4 of 245/60/18 TX Radial X , M+S 105H on 10. 31, 2021 for Toyota Highlander. The date today is 10/17/2023. I have driven 20548 miles since my purchase and now it just got Blow out one of my front right side while driving on the Highway I almost lost the control of the car. I'm very disappointed with the reliability/wear of my Michelin tires. Needless to say, I could loss my live. And now I still have 3 more tires I do not feel safe to have.

I purchased these tires, ...

I purchased these tires, because of their long tire life, being quiet while driving on the freeway, and the brand name standing behind them. As for the tire life, I have driven, on the freeway mostly, 55K miles and still have tread left (not hitting the wear marks yet). Traveling daily on the freeway, tire noise becomes an issue with me. I enjoy listening to some good tunes on the radio and not having to listen to my tires howling. These tires don't make tire noise, so they won't interupt the music at all. Finally, Michelin tires stand behind their tires. I've owned many trucks and sport cars in my life without having any issues with the tires that I have purchased. Michelin tires have given me peace of mind even with my family in my car or truck. Yes, these tires are that good!!!

Great Tires

About 18 years ago I purchased my first set of Michelin LTX M/S tires for my Jeep Cherokee and was pleasantly surprised to find they were the best tires I ever owned. Great traction wet/dry & on/off road, quiet ride, and best of all long mileage. After purchasing a GMC Yukon I wasn't happy with the factory installed tires. They were noisy, poor traction off road and wore out quickly. After installing a set of Michelin LTX M/S I am very happy again. Based on my experience with tires I will only purchase and recommend Michelin 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.

Nothing but......

I will use nothing but this brand of tire. For the last four new cars that I have bought, I immediately switched out the tires to my LTX M/S. Primary reason....the safety factor. These are the greatest for everyday driving in rain, snow, etc. I can drive with confidence in inclement weather.
