Review Summary
The Michelin Premier LTX tires offer excellent ride quality, handling, and traction, especially in wet and snowy conditions. However, many customers report premature tread wear, often well before the advertised 60,000-mile warranty. Some had to replace the tires as early as 30,000-40,000 miles. Customers also noted issues with the warranty support, as the company was unwilling to fully honor the warranty when the tires wore out early. While the performance benefits are notable, the poor tread life and warranty concerns are significant drawbacks to consider.

tires wear out fast
had under 35k on the tires and they are completely bald. I can see that this is an ongoing issue with this specific tire.

Worn to 2/32” After Only 24,000 Miles
I bought Michelin Premier LTX tires for my Lexus RX450hL because Michelin markets them as a premium touring tire with a 60,000 mile warranty. Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing. After only about 24,000 miles of mostly normal highway and suburban driving in the generally dry Bay Area climate, the tires measured roughly 2/32” tread remaining and are already essentially at replacement level. That is far earlier than expected for a premium tire at this price point. These tires were not subjected to snow, harsh winters, or unusually severe weather conditions. Most of their life has been in Northern California’s relatively mild and dry climate. The tires were quiet and comfortable when new, but tread life has been nowhere close to what I expected from Michelin. After researching online, I found many other owners reporting similarly poor tread life with the Premier LTX line. For a tire that costs this much and carries a 60k warranty, needing replacement around 24k miles is hard to justify. I would strongly recommend buyers research long-term treadwear reviews carefully before purchasing these tires.

Tires falling apart - beware
45k miles in and these are coming apart on a Lexus GX460 ( 265-60-18), do not buy these tires. Would have been better off with some Ling Longs straight off of Amazon.

Don't get cheated by Michelin and dealer!!!
Recenty i noticed premature and unusual wear on my Premier LTX tires, including "peeling" where chunks of tire coming off. Current mileage on tires of 32,495 and a 60K mile warranty on the Premier LTX. I opened up a warranty case #05727132 where I was told that I would get a 31% warranty reimbursement, However, I was "tricked" by the dealer where they marked up the cost of the tires to a much higer price ($346 per tire which NOBODY would ever pay!) and then used MY warranty claim as a discount. So I am really NOT being properly compensated for having to replace my tires far sooner than I should have. For those reading this, do NOT buy these tires and do NOT let Michelin and your dealer mislead you and STEAL your warranty reimbursement. Both Michelin and Tire Choice are at fault here and should be held responsible for cheating me like this!

Half-worn Premier tires are safe because of EverGrip™ Technology which combines an evolving tread with a high traction compound for enhanced wet-braking capabilities.

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.
H-Speed Rated Sizes:
| Maximum Speed (mph) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 | 124 | 130 |
