Michelin LTX M/S Truck/SUV Tire

Pros: Tire wear
Cons: Road noise is noticible

These Michelin LTX M/S tires came on my 2000 Toyota 4runner. I have them rotated per the Toyota maintenence schedule. They currently have 137,000 miles and don't show much wear. They usually make some road noise and the Toyota dealer said there was some cupping, but after being rotated they are quiet again. My driving is 90% highway 60 - 75 mph. I will definately replace these tires with exactly the same kind...if they ever wear out.

Pros: Quiet, Great handing on dry roads. Comfortable ride even in a F250.
Cons: Not the great "mud" tires I'd hoped for. Lots of slipping for me. 

I have been using Michilen LTX M/S tires for 10 years. Have truely appreciated the quiet ride and clear road handling capabilities of these tires. Currently drive a F250, 2WD, Super Duty Diesel and haul a 3 horse trialer several times a year.  This current set of LTX 235/85R16E have been on my truck since March 2008, and have less that 22K miles on them and will need to be replaced before years end. 

Great tires but I'm getting concerned that Michelin is now using a softer compound. I will try probably try one more set. Should I get the same milage results from them as I have from these or I get the run around on the replacement costs on these tires that lasted less than half of their rated life,  I'll be looking for a new tire.

Pros: Great on dry/wet roads
Cons: Horrible in the dirt and mud.

These Tires are wonderful on-road tires. Good in the rain. O.k. in the snow. Good tire wear. I have had these tires on for 20,000 miles with very little wear noticeable (I have many on and off road miles)

I will not buy these again because I do off-road a lot. I would buy these again if I was only to use these tires on the paved roads.

Pros: Quiet, long lasting, comfortable, traction
Cons: Not an off road tire for mud or snow, expensive

These tires are possibly the best I have ever owned.  We are at 43,000 miles now and they will easily get another thousand miles or more it looks like.  After 400,000 miles of driving pickups with many different tire brands it is not too difficult to say that overall these are the ones to get!  No they are not the longest wearing tires I have had.  That honor went to some Cooper tires (56,000 miles).  However the Cooper tires slid like roller skates in emergency situations!  These Michelins tires are quiet, long lasting, good dry traction, amazing ice traction (the best of any tire I have had), and have an excellant ride.

Pros: Great tire, great tread wear.
Cons: none!

I'm about to buy some more Michelin M/S's for my truck. The last set I bought lasted me for 90,000 miles. I only rotated my tires one time during the last 3 years, although my front tires are a bit more slightly worn than my back tires.

Pros: Long Wear, handling, traction, handling, comfort matched to these SUVs.
Cons: None

We have these tires on 2 vehicles. Our Lexus RX300 has over 40,000 miles on its LTX M/S tires. Our Highlander has about 20,000 miles so far on its LTX M/S. These tires are ideally suited to these vehicles. They have been great in rain and dry, excellent combination of handling, comfort and noise, even on vehicles with a relatively high center of gravity. When these finally do wear out, we hope the identical tires are still available, because we really do not want any other tire. These tires were on both vehicles when we bought them.

Pros: Agressive tread design, but not terribly noisy on the highway at high speed (75/85MPH).
Cons: A little bit slippery on wet pavement. Not terrible.

August 29,2004. I bought a set of these new in April, 2001, at Costco in Kansas City, for my 1995 Tahoe 4X4. The tires have been phenomenal. I have had three punctures that have been plugged. They have been on Interstate highways with and without trailers, all over the country. They have been off-road throughout the southwest and the Ozarks with and without trailers. I now have 109,000 miles on these tires. I run them with 70#'s psi and have them rotated/balance about every 5,000 miles. Still good to go, although I am about 30/60 days from replacement. No doubt what I will be buying.

Pros: Ride Comfort, Rain confidence, tread-life confidence
Cons: louder than OEM (dunlop AT-21s), pricey (150 each)

2003 Tundra,
After much research and reading, I narrowed my tire needs to three tires the Michelin LTX-M/S, Cross Terrain, and Bridgestone Dueler Revo. I finally went with the LTX-M/S. Duelers were too aggressive for Atlanta Driving, and the price was a big factor against the Cross Terrains and I didn't like the closed outermost tread design of the Cross Terrains, also I don't believe that the cross terrain can go 65K. I was only able to get 18k miles out of the OEM Dunlop’s, so a lot of research went into replacing them I wanted a great long lasting tire. So I talked to people read reviews. I ended up purchasing the LTX @ discount tires. So far so good with the LTXs, they are louder than the tires they replaced (Dunlop AT-21s), but I can take the noise. They also ride and track well.

Pros: Mileage
Cons: Not American, i think.

I lived in a Goodyear town, it was hard not to ride on Goodyear's as they provided a lot of good jobs in town. I bought a new truck in 2003 and was disappointed to see the stock tires were Michelin's. I left them on (and moved) and they have outperformed any set of Goodyear's I've had and I've had several. I do have on one tire with some sidewall issues that have popped up in the last 1000 miles or so, so I'm looking to replace these with new ones just like them. I'd rather buy American, i think Michelin's are French, but the Michelin's seem to be better.

Pros: Long lastin- great traction in rain and snow (of course having a JEEP helps)
Cons: I think they are a little loud.

These babies have lasted me more than 118k on my 2000 GGC Laredo!!! Awesome- definitely have gotten my moneys worth!  Not too picky- I think they have been a little loud- but my music is cranked up most of the time when I am driving so it does not matter!  Best tire on the market! I'm only replacing them now bc one of them sprung a slow leak and I figure they have done the job! 

Pros: Good tread, quiet ride.
Cons: They fall apart.

Had a set of these on my Astro van. At about 35K miles, the sidewalls developed cracks. The tire store inspected them and determined they were defective. They called Michelin and, in the end, after jacking the warranty price to RETAIL, charging me for installation and taxes at full retail, even with the "pro-rated" warranty, I had to PAY a rediculous amount of money to replace the DEFECTIVE tires.

Two years later, the same tires are doing the same freakin' thing. The sidewalls are cracked and splitting and the rubber is flaking away. As a further note, I take EXTREMELY good care of my tires, keep them Nitro inflated, clean, and they NEVER touch the curb.

Very disappointed. I'm sure I'm gonna get railroaded into replacing them again.

Pros: PROMISED long tire life on a heavy 3/4 4x4 truck, smooth ride, PROMISED traction
Cons: Expensive, possible traction issue

After getting a mere 24,000 miles on a set of Goodyear 60,000 mile M&S truck tires, Discount Tire agreed to upgrade me to a set of new Michelins (+$400) under the warranty. I was sorry to see the Goodyear's go since their aggressive tread has done an exceptional job in several Colorado snow storms. Discount would not rotate the Goodyears for me since they said they were worn out.
These tires are mounted on a 1997 Ford F-250 Supercab Heavyduty with the 7.3L Powerstroke. The truck is equipped with a large steel ladder rack and a couple hundred pounds of remodeling tools. It's a heavy truck.
On the way home, the first thing I noticed was the ride quality. The Michelins are much smoother.
Since we haven't had much snow in Denver this winter, the traction issue remains to be seen. Discount Tire says that I shouldn't notice a difference. We'll see.
The big test will be how long these tires last on this truck. I can't afford a new set of tires every 24,000 miles.
I'll keep you updated. I now have 2,500 miles on this set, and rotate tires every 5,000 miles.

Pros: Durable, quiet, grips to snow covered roads wonderfully.
Cons: Blew one sidewall due to defect.

I have Michelins LTX M/S on my Pathfinder. This is the second set of these tires and I will not buy anything else ever again. Driving on dry pavement or on snow covered, icy roads is no problem. This tire is quiet, durable and grips like no other all season tire. I have 200,000Km on my Pathfinder and on my second set of LTX's. The vehicle came with General tires that I got rid of after 30,000Km because they were junk and separated. For me, there is no reason to try any other tire out there. I do not drive off road.

Pros: Quiet, smooth, responsive ride, and I know they will wear like iron with little attention
Cons: they felt clunky for the first few weeks, compared to the o.e. Goodyear Integrity

I first experienced the LTX tires on my '98 Mazda MPV AWD. After 65,000 miles they showed very little treadwear, but the sidewalls showed much cracking, which made me nervous, so I replaced them with another brand from Sam's Club. I should have stayed with Michelins. I recently researched replacement tires for my Lexus RX. I knew that weight is a very important factor in acceleration, braking, and steering feel, but certainly not the major factor for a "non-racer". The original equipment tires were lightly treaded relative to the LTX's, and I felt Lexus used them for a good reason, so I was reluctant to change. But Michigan winters are no place for wimpy tires, my experience with these tires in the snow is excellent

Pros: Quiet smooth ride on any road surface.
Cons: Pricey

Best tire on the market for 4 Wheel Drive SUV's. I had my doubt before I bought them, due to the non agressive tread pattern. I bought a full set of them last fall and they got me through the Michigan Winter. I can really get great traction in snow from a dead stop to full throttle in just a few seconds, and that's with a V-8.
