AWESOME Tires

Comments about LTX M/S2:

I purchased my first set of Michelin tires (LTX/MSs) back in 1994 for my 1990 Toyota SR5 4x4. I was so impressed with them that I purchased MSs for the 2002 Tacoma Prerunner SR5 I bought in 2001. I got over 75,000 miles on the tires for each vehicle under mostly highway driving conditions. I now have a 2010 Tacoma SR5 Prerunner 2WD and recently replaced the OEM tires with MS2s after 55,000 miles of use. I can't complain about the OEM Bridgestones, as they held their own and provided good service life. I am a stickler on vehicle maintenance and tire rotations so the OEM tires lasted as advertised. Well, I've driven on the MS2s for a few days and I am very impressed with them. The tires are truly amazing; they are extremely quiet and provide a very smooth ride. I am a die-hard Toyota truck fan and can tell that these light trucks are not known for providing the smoothest ride or getting very good gas mileage But the MS2s has presented a new leaf-on-life for this truck as far as smoothness is concerned. I've even noticed a slight increase in gas mileage, even though I'm not concerned about gas mileage. I don't buy Toyota trucks for gas mileage—I buy them because they are workhorses, they are reliable and the last forever if properly maintained. Saying all of this, I have one impression about these tires that many will find a bit farfetched. The tires are so quiet and smooth on 'my' Toyota truck that I have found myself exceeding posted speed limits on the highway many times. I often use the cruise control on the highway to make sure I'm maintaining a safe and legal speed. Again, these tires are sooooo quiet and smooth—they are truly awesome. I expect that I will get the same reliability and tread wear as I did with the MSs in the past. I also know that no one brand of tire satisfies everyone; I just so happen to appreciate Michelin brand tires. I consider the negative information about MS2s a clearly subjective and a personal matter. I say buy what you like and like what you buy. I'm a VERY happy camper—bottom line. I personally think that Michelin MS2s are awesome tires and can't be beat by any on the market.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: DC = DaimlerChrysler, F = Ford, HO = Honda, I = Infiniti, L = Lexus, MA = Mazda, N = Nissan, T = Toyota

* Passenger sizes used in Light Truck/SUV applications have reduced load capacity. This will differ from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.

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 accomodate 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.

T-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0
Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100 100
