Great tires for wet weather and smooth ride. Very quiet.
New tires prior customer
I've purchased Michelin tires previously and I've been very pleased with the durability performance and handling. The tires have produced a very smooth ride. Please note the tires I'm reviewing are based on previous purchases not these particular tires.
5 Star quality.

Overall, it’s a high-quality, durable tire that offers strong value and confidence on the road.
Been a MIchelin guy for 25 years LTX's have been on all my SUV's and Trucks best tires never had any problems. Very quiet tires and great traction and handling in all weather. I will continue to buy Michelin Tires.
Smooth & Comfortable
Only less than a week of experience, but the comfort and smoothness of the new tires is noticeable
Low traction
These are highway tires and do NOT have very much traction. Less than 100 miles and the tires have a slight wobble like a tire blister or tread separation.

Quiet and durable SUV tires
Great tires. We have had several sets of these on multiple cars. Used for highway driving, light offroad and towing. Never an issue. Rotate every 5000 miles and keep at air pressure spec. Always last beyond rated mileage.
Better Handling
Car rides a lot smoother

I don’t think that this has real good traction on a wet street i’m a little concerned about when the snow comes here in Wisconsin?
