Pros: excellent in the rain; moderately low road noise; smooth ride
Cons: relatively expensive
Summary: My 1998 Toyota pick-up truck came with Dunlop Radial Rovers, so that's what I stuck with the first time I needed new tires. I upped the size from 225-75-15 to 235-75-15, and was happy for the next 80,000 miles. Recently, I decided to re-tire again, ...

Pros: Top notch traction and quiet ride.
Cons: Pricey but worth it.
Summary: The Michelin LTX M/S radial Truck and SUV tire is one of the best on the market for doing what it was intended to do, possibly the best. When you are researching tires to replace your less than adequate factory installed ones, or your presently...

Pros: The Michelins outlasted other tires. They do well at highway speeds with heavy loads.
Cons: The tires have outlasted my Tacoma. I'm about to purchase a new 2005 model.
Summary: I have a 2000 extra cab Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 with a 190 hp V-6, which I bought new. The rear axle is equipped with a factory electronic locker and gear ratio is 3.91:1. The only power upgrades were dual exhaust and a K&N air filter. This pick-up ...

Pros: Smooth handling, nice, quiet ride, performs exceedingly well in wet conditions by all accounts.
Cons: None that I have encountered, but will update! Still none as of 11/26/09.
Summary: I took my 2000 Ford Expedition in for new tires and had the mindset of replacing them with the same Goodyear Wranglers that were on this urban assault vehicle/land yacht at the time. The salesman talked me into the Michelin LTX/MS P255/70 R16's and I am ...

Pros: Extreme treadlife, great all-around use and traction
Cons: not a one
Summary: These were the tires that came with my 1994 Toyota pickup. I never really gave them much thought, other than that they looked nice with the raised-white-letters. Its probably a compliment to say you never notice your tires. I do almost all of my ...

Pros: quiet ride, good grip, very smooth, attractive
Cons: treadwear is only average. Not for serious off-road use.
Summary: These tires came as a distributor-installed option on my 2000 Toyota Tundra pickup. Packaged with alloy wheels, they really improve the appearance of the vehicle vs. the standard 245/70-16 blackwall tires. They're just a good-looking tire.

Pros: Good snow traction. Tires quite round/smooth ride.
Cons: Moderate wet traction. Tendency to pick up and throw stones. Noise depends on road surface.
Summary: After trying to safely navigate the snow covered roads in Wisconsin and Minnesota in the winter, I was determined to find a better snow tire, but one that will work for all seasons as well.
I don't take my Dakota 4x4 off roading (at least...

Pros: Smooth, quite ride with outstanding handling and performance in wet or dry conditions.
Cons: Pick up rocks and small road debris in the tread.
Summary: I have a 2003 Ford F150 SuperCrew which came with Goodyear Wrangler AT/S LT265 70R17 tires on it (SEE REVIEW: The worst tires in the world have Goodyear written all over them.) I did not buy the Michelins to replace the Goodyears ... they were put on ...

Pros: Long life, quiet, decent in mud, hold heavy loads
Cons: pricey, but worth every penny
Summary: My immediate family and I have owned 8 sets of Michelin LTX M/S's put on everything from Ford Explorers to a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4. On every vehicle, they wear very good and very long. The first set I bought on New Years Eve 1995 were 31x10.5x15's ...

Pros: Long tread life, wet traction, quiet ride
Cons: None found
Summary: Update #2! I sold that truck, got another one, and put on a set of new Michelins. Another amazing performance, I have 55,000 miles on this set and have at least 8/16" of tread remaining. They still look great and continue to provide a ...

Pros: Nice, steady, quite, stable ride
Cons: Pricy, not true off-road tires
Summary: So my 1998 Jeep Cherokee came with Goodyear Wrangler A/T's on it. After I had it about a week I almost smacked into a wall the first time I drove it in the rain. For 60,000 miles I feared the rain.
Then I got the Michelins. They were pricy,...

Pros: The best light truck for mileage as well as ride and comfort.
Cons: Moderate rain and snow traction.
Summary: The LTX M/S is the best mileage tire built in the light truck sizes. If the weather permits you to wear them down to the last 2/32nds with proper maintenance you can see over a 100,000 miles. I have seen many sets do so including a full size Tahoe...

Pros: great wear, looks, safety
Cons: price
Summary: Michelin is an incredible tire manufacturer. From their commercials we hear about "so much that is riding on your tires." Nothing could be truer. I had an small accident a few weeks ago thought that the damage was minimal. It happened on a...

Pros: great durability, milage and handling
Cons: none
Summary: I have to admit that I have been buying Michelin tires on every vehicle I have owned for the last 20 some years except for a momentary slip in judgement when I bought Goodyear tires (Wrangler if I remember right) for my "78" Bronco. After one...
