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.

Perfect SUV Tire
Did a lot of research before deciding on the Premier LTX's. All I can say is spend the extra dollars and get this tire. It is the smoothest, quietest tire I've ever owned. Hugs the road in dry and wet conditions. Absolutely terrific ride and no noise at all. Extremely happy with my decision. Michelin has always been my tire of choice but they even out did themselves with the Premier LTX.
Perfect Small and Mid-Size SUV Tire
I first tried to save a few dollars and put the Defender LTX's on my 2015 Toyota Highlander. They are a good tire, ride was smooth but did have a noticeable "whine" to them. It seems like the Defender LTX is more of a light truck or full size SUV tire and the tread pattern certainly looked like it as well in my opinion. Anyway, after 300 miles, my dealer and Michelin changed them out for the Premier LTX's. All I can say is spend the extra dollars up front and get this tire for any small to mid size SUV. It is the smoothest, quietest tire I've ever owned. Absolutely terrific ride and no noise at all. Fantastic service as well.
Excellent Tires!!
Love these tires!! Excellent in rain and great braking. They look fantastic on my GL450 and I couldn't be happier. Friends asked if we got a new car... Ride is smooth and I would recommend these tires.
Primier LTX - RX350 - Usage in Snow - Tahoe
Upgraded from other Michelin Latitude. Great grip in snow.... 4 to 5 times better than Latitude tires. Gas Mileage is the same. Great tire, feel safe in the snow and ice.
Nice Tire for 2012 Honda Odyssey Touring Elite
Replaced worn Primacy MXV4 tires today. Had new Premier LTX tires installed and road forced balanced today. They road very smooth home with no road noise noticeable. I think they will be a great tire and look great too. I read a lot of reviews from people about this tire on other sites that some people don't like this tire for one reason or another. Some will make comments like "I don't slow down when I take corners and this tire is loud or doesn't hug the road, etc." I am 41 years old with a wife and 5 young kids. I drive like a responsible driver and safety of my family and comfort of ride are my top concerns.
Much quieter than the OEM tire
My 2014 Ford Escape inherently transmits a lot of road noise to the interior. Here in Florida, with its coarse roads, the road rumble and irregular surface made it difficult to hear the radio. I ditched the OEM equipped Continentals before their time. The Michelins are still a little noisy on coarse surfaces but are quiet on smooth surfaces. The handling improved because the Continentals tended to wander, like on black ice. I was in a few heavy rains and the handling was very stable.
Great Tires
Just got a new set of these for my 2011 Audi Q7. I was really looking for a tire that was as quiet as possible and these certainly deliver. They feel nice, absorb the road nicely, and I am really enjoying them. Only recently got them so can't attest to long-term wear and tear.
Whiney
Drove on Michelin for years and have enjoyed them. Not this pair. Seems like the more miles on them the louder they get. Have a whine after about 25 mph. My wife even commented about the noise. Very annoying.
4 to go
just mounted 4 new tires on my(wifes) 2013 mazda cx 9. Boy what great inprovement. A little costly but I hope they PAY for them.
Good Tire but not up to Michelin Standard
I have driven over 10,000 miles in ice, snow, rain and heat. These tires perform well in snow or ice and exceptionally well in rain. The issue is the tires try to follow the grooves in the road. That is unsettling when driving on ice or just annoying on dry pavement. It is controllable but the driver does need to be aware what is happening. I expect better from Michelin. If you live in an area where the roads do not have grooves cut to control ice in the winter you will love these tires. Otherwise, choose a different tire.
