Testimonials

- February 3, 2008
- I am very pleased to report that very soon I will be passing the 100,000 mile mark on my set of MICHELIN LTX® M/S tires. I have had nothing but good things to say about your tires and feel they are VERY well made. Goes to show that a quality company, and tireless (no pun intended LOL) attention to rotation and pressure can surely lead to long tire life.*

- In about 2,000 miles, my MICHELIN LTX® M/S tires will have 180,000 miles on them. I want to replace them but I am blown away by how they have held up. All I do is maintain air pressure and rotate them every other oil change, about 10,000 miles. They have saved me a lot of money, not having to replace them until now, and we all know how tight money is. Thank you again!*

- I just changed out my MICHELIN LTX® M/S tires after 114,000 (hard) miles. They still had 3/16" tread left! Unbelievable! As far as I am concerned, everything else is just a tire. Thanks for making a great product.*

- Thank you for your constant diligence in providing drivers with safe tires. Out of the blue, my MICHELIN LTX® M/S tire started to make a funny noise. It was flat. Apparently, my car was severely out of alignment and the tire was COMPLETELY bare to the steel radial. I was lucky it didn't blow out on the interstate and possibly injure my 15-month-old son and the rest of the passengers. Thank you for making a product that kept my most precious gift safe. I will always be grateful!!*

- I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my MICHELIN LTX® M/S tires. I know tires are not supposed to last forever, but these may outlast my 1995 truck. I have purchased a lot of tires in my short 59-year lifetime, but I have never had a set that has given me this kind of performance. I appreciate the quality, performance, dependability and the reliability. I am now one of your most loyal customers.*

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 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.
S-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0
