Split fitments - If your vehicle has tires of different sizes on the front versus the rear axles, your tires cannot be rotated as recommended. Therefore, the mileage warranty on each rear tire will cover half the number of miles as the standard mileage warranty for that particular tire line.
ZP (Zero Pressure) tires - The maximum mileage warranty for ZP tires is 30,000 miles.

Standard Limited Warranty <br/>(All Michelin® Tires)
All Michelin® tires have a Standard Manufacturer's Limited Warranty, which covers defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread, or for 6 years from date of purchase, whichever occurs first. See warranty for details

Comments about X Radial LT2:

These are my 2nd set of Michelin tires and I will buy nothing else because nothing else can compare. The gas mileage I get driving my Suburban w these tires are excellent, and I am pleased. The first vehicle I tried Michelin on was a 2001 Dodge Caravan, and I purchased the tires with 75,000 miles. When I sold my Caravan with 221,000 miles those Michelin were still on with @ least 4,000 miles left on them. I will always buy Michelin tires, and no other.

Michelin X Radial LT2

Comments about X Radial LT2:

WARNING - Don't buy these tires unless you plan on keeping your truck for a LONG time!!!

I just fitted a brand-new set of Michelin X Radial LT2's onto my 2004 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab 2500HD, replacing a set of X Radial LT's that finally wore down and had to go. When I went into the tire center with my old paperwork, I was surprised to see that I still had the original receipt for the tires I was replacing, and that I had purchased them 6 years and 3 months ago, totaling right at 90,000 miles. I tried to justify replacing them last December (2012) but they just had too much tread left to justify the rush.

Also amazing was that I never had a flat tire, needed a front-end alignment, or did anything more than an occasional balance and rotation. I certainly got my money's worth out of that last set, which is as good a recommendation that can possibly be made. My worry is now I don't know if I will be keeping this truck as long as my new tires should last, but I could think of worse problems to have.

Dry or wet, highway or city, commuting or towing - these tires are the best bet for your truck.

"Noticeably quieter"

Comments about X Radial LT2:

I put these tires on my '03 Denali after having Goodyear and cheap off-brand. Needless to say I've already noticed a quieter, smoother ride. I drive mostly city miles so I'm hoping to notice better gas mileage. Third vehicle with Michelin tires and I want nothing else again. Will track mileage and update post soon.

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.

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.

>> 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.

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
