In April 2004, I bought a Dodge Ram 2500 that included Michelin LTX A/S LT265/70R/17E 121/118R LRE tires.
As of June 30, 2009, I have driven 105,000 miles with this same set. Even though they still have enough
tread life to go another 20-30,000 miles, I plan on replacing them this fall. I have never owned a set
of light truck tires that have lasted over 100,000 miles. In my opinion, these tires are the best value!
I want a tire that is safe, durable and efficient. Thank you Michelin for providing me this option!*

I am a sales rep for Magic Tilt Trailers in Clearwater, FL. I drive a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab
and today purchased a new set of Michelin tires for my truck. I replaced the original set of Michelins
which had 130,977 miles on them. I have been a Michelin tire owner for over 29 years and will not drive
any vehicle on a regular basis without your tires. Thank you for the safety and durability provided by
your product.*

I am driving a Dodge 2500 pickup that I bought new in 2001. Today the truck has 120,000 miles on the original equipment
Michelin LT 265/75R16 tires. My driving has been a combination of city and highway. I am very pleased with the Michelin tires
and plan one day to replace these with new Michelins. I understand the cost of Michelins may be just a little higher than some
but the life of the tire outweighs the cost. I’ve had only one air leak and that was due to a small nail, once repaired the tire
continued to give many trouble-free miles. Other than slight weather cracks, my tires really look good. There are still many
miles left on these tires. Thanks Michelin Man for a well-built and safe tire that lasts.

- Having owned my Dodge Ram 2500 SLT pickup w/Cummins diesel for three
years now, I thought you might be interested to know that I'm still running on the original
set of Michelin® XL 265/70/17 LTX's. My truck just crossed
the 100,000 mile mark and it looks like I can get another 15,000 or 20,000 miles out of them.
Thought you might like to know this for advertisement purposes. Love my Michelins!!!
Thanks for making a quality product.*

- I bought a truck for my daughter to haul a horse trailer long distance.
It came with Michelin LTX® A/S tires. Now these tires have over 97,000 miles
on them! How much longer can I expect to go on this set of tires? There is still plenty of
tread on them and the spare has never been used. I think these are by far the best set of
tires I have ever owned.*

- I have to admit that I have never bought MICHELIN® tires prior to today.
I have learned the error of my ways. I have MICHELIN LTX® A/S tires on my work truck,
which includes pulling material trailers weighing over 13,000 pounds and a 27' camper.
Today, I finally replaced the original tires! Almost four years and exactly 103,455 miles later.
Only rotating the tires twice. I have never had tires last more than 45,000 miles.
I felt compelled to write this letter to not only thank you for making such great
tires but also to let you know that I will never put anything other than MICHELIN tires on my vehicles
as long as I live.*

* Passenger sizes used in Light Truck/SUV applications have reduced load capacity. This will differ from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall.
Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.
1. 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.
2. Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
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 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.
S-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0
