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.

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?

Tyre made
Does Michelin also have official factories in Thailand? Is the quality the same as those from the original country?
Must be VERY soft compound and very suspect to road debris flats.
I have never owned a set of tires that were penetrated by road debris as easy as these. There is ZERO chance I would run these tires off road. Three blow out flats in the first 10,000 miles.

Works great for my 2017 Nissan Titan.
I am really glad that I bought the tires when I did. These tires have been great on the highway and on City streets. We got our annual ice and snow storm here in Memphis they proved to be very reliable. Went on the ice like anything else you're going to get a little slippage, however these tires did very well even on the ice. I am very proud of the tires and I'm very happy of the decision I made to purchase them. For me they drive very comfortably and without very much noise at all. As far as fuel efficiency they do pretty well. I give them a five out of 5 stars and will purchase again in the future.
Great tire on highway in summer no noise in the winter they are atrocious on ice get stuck on flat ground horrible for stopping in winter they are an accident waiting to happen!!!!!!!!

Quite smooth ride
He's LTX tires came on my new Toyota 4Runner TRD off road. I have 1500 miles on these tires and the majority have been highway, Street driving, and a few cow Trails basically unpaved roads. Have not gone over rocks or anything that potentially could damage the tire. For quietness and fuel economy and just general local potholes and rough roads these tires have been very good. And I am a tire guy so I understand that as tires where they get harder and rougher riding so I typically don't keep tires more than about 45k miles. These tires are rated at 50 so they might be replaced at 35 to 40K. But that's just me because I like fresh rubber.
I'm a Fan of the LTX Trail - follow-up
Follow-up from previous review. At 21K on the mileage, I'm still a big fan of the LTX Trail. I measured wear at 6/32" (10/32" new) so I'm assuming these will get about 40K? Perhaps they wear faster than advertised however, I'll take the trade-off for exceptional highway ride and rock solid trail performance I'm experiencing. I believe these are better than Defenders BOTH highway and trail performance (bold statement), but you do sacrifice on longevity. Everybody's needs are different but for me, that use case works. Hope that helps.
Great tire
Ive heard a lot of complaints regarding these tires and I have to say I think the complaints are from those who just like to complain.. Good, Solid, Smooth Riding, Good Looking, they wear well with proper care and driving habits. These came on my Toyota Tundra and wont use anything else as long as they are still produced.
wearing way too fast
These came on my 23 tundra trd package and advertised as run flats but they are not. Also they shredded by 17k miles even with alignments and rotations . Found that the outer edge wears extremely fast and chunks of tire coming off even with no gravel roads. not a good look. I liked the way the looked on the truck but performance wise its a nope. Had to replace at 31k miles
We’re sorry to hear about this issue. The LTX Trail is not designed as a run-flat tire, and we understand how that could be misleading if advertised otherwise. We encourage you to contact our Consumer Care team. They can help assess your situation and recommend alternative tire options that better suit your driving needs.
