Review Summary
Customers overwhelmingly report severe durability and safety issues. Most experience premature wear, with tires reaching wear bars below 10,000 miles and failing before 35,000 miles despite regular rotation. Many describe poor puncture resistance, citing multiple flats and blowouts early in ownership. Reviewers consistently note inadequate winter and wet traction, describing performance as dangerous on ice and snow. A small group acknowledges quiet operation and comfortable highway rides, but these positives are vastly outweighed by widespread concerns about rapid deterioration and safety risks, leading most to avoid repurchasing.

I'm a Fan of the LTX Trail - 40K follow-up
Thought I'd give a 40K update to my previous review. The LTX trails that were OEM on my 24 Land Cruiser are still going strong! They are wearing evenly and no leaks, pressure loss, or balancing adjustments. Kind of boring (in a good way). I measured incorrectly on previous review but as of now, showing 6/32 remaining out of 10/32 when new. I'm not sure why they get such bad reviews, but my experience has been excellent. I intended to replace them with Continental TC AT's but Michelin is giving a strong case to stick with these. Hope that helps someone.

Severe durability issue
1,000 miles in on a 2026 Tundra TRD with these tires. Driving on the highway, did not see any debris in traffic, don't recall hitting anything. Never even on a dirt road YET. Had a slash in the side wall. I was on the high way when the TPS light came on. Happened to be driving by my dealership. They found the issue and I have to buy a new tire (no road hazard). After reading posts from other drivers, i decided to post a review as well. Too early to tell re wear life. I will say the tires handle the pavement great. But I will be driving dirt roads (which i do a lot) very cautiously until I switch these to the Defender LTX M/S2 as another reviewer called out. It's unfortunate Toyota picked this tire for their TRD Offroad package.

Replace these with Defender LTX MS/2
Michelin, cancel these tires! - not a tire that should have Michelin name on them. I just replaced OEM set after 35K miles on my 2024 Land Cruiser with far superior Defender LTX MS/2 tires. Much better driving stability and performance with the MS/2. Note, gas mileage will drop some because the MS/2 is a heavier XL rated tire with more aggressive tread pattern. The LTX trails seem to be a cheater tire - weaker and lighter than they should be to get improved gas milage. Looks like it should do more than it does in reality. Definitely not a real trail tire... Heck the MS/2s do better on trail and they are not an AT tire. The LTX trail is a pretender. I am a huge fan of Michelin. Seems they created this tire for Toyota. I am not aware of any other OEM using them? Please Michelin... focus your attention on the next successor to the PS 4S... that is what we all need. It is time for update your max summer tire rather than this.

Did I make the right call?
I enjoy them so far, but I have only had them for a week. I was wondering why I saw so many on marketplace. I went with them because I've always trusted Michelin, did I make a mistake?

Does Michelin also have official factories in Thailand? Is the quality the same as those from the original country?

H-Speed Rated Sizes:
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.
DANGER: Never mount a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" 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 160mph (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 |
| Maximum Speed (mph) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 | 124 | 130 |
| Inflation Increase (psi) | 0.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 | 5.0 |
