Review Summary
The tires provided a smooth, quiet ride and good handling, especially in wet conditions. However, many customers reported premature wear and tread life well below the advertised 60,000-mile warranty, leading to significant disappointment. Some also found the tires to be noisier than expected. While a few customers were satisfied with the tires' performance, the overall consensus was that the poor tread life and durability made them a poor value.

Dont even consider this tyre
In the first few months itself, multiple punctures , thread worn out in around 30k kms to 4/32. Better consider cross climate firehawk as v2 for non winter scenarios.

Worn to 2/32” After Only 24,000 Miles
I bought Michelin Premier LTX tires for my Lexus RX450hL because Michelin markets them as a premium touring tire with a 60,000 mile warranty. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing. After only about 24,000 miles of mostly normal highway and suburban driving in the generally dry Bay Area climate, the tires measured roughly 2/32” tread remaining and are already essentially at replacement level. That is far earlier than expected for a premium tire at this price point. These tires were not subjected to snow, harsh winters, or unusually severe weather conditions. Most of their life has been in Northern California’s relatively mild and dry climate. The tires were quiet and comfortable when new, but tread life has been nowhere close to what I expected from Michelin. After researching online, I found many other owners reporting similarly poor tread life with the Premier LTX line. For a tire that costs this much and carries a 60k warranty, needing replacement around 24k miles is hard to justify. I would strongly recommend buyers research long-term treadwear reviews carefully before purchasing these tires.

never buying michelin tires again
I have bought only michelin tires for over 30 years. my last set of michelin premiere ltx tires lasted 13,100 miles before wearing to 2/32. I took the tires to get inspected as directed by michelin corporate and was offered a 15% off retail for new michelin tires. I am writing you to let you know I will not be buying another michelin tire for any of the 4 cars I take care of . You have lost a lifetime loyal customer....I will make sure to let as many people as I can reach know how bad michelin tires has become

Legal Mentions
1 Safe refers to wet braking, wet handling and hydroplaning resistance when tires are new and worn to 5/32". All tires eventually wear out and should be replaced. Half-worn Premier tires are safe because of EverGrip™ Technology which combines an evolving tread with a high traction compound for enhanced wet-braking capabilities.Based on internal wet braking tests from 80 km/h vs. Goodyear® Assurance® CS TripleTred™ All-Season and Continental® CrossContact™ LX20 in size 255/55R18 109H; using the MICHELIN® Premier™ LTX™ tire in size 255/55R18 109H buffed to 5/32" of tread. Actual on-road results may vary.
V-Speed Rated Sizes:
OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: GM = General Motors, JEP = Jeep, KIA = Kia, LIN = Lincoln, TOY = Toyota
XL = Extra Load
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accommodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.
H-Speed Rated Sizes:
| Maximum Speed (km/h) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 | 124 | 130 |
| Inflation Increase (psi) | 0.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 |
