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.

Best tire ever
It came with my 2016 Lexus RX F-sports. After about a month, I decided I want to put aftermarket wheels with wider tire. I liked Michelin Premier LTX so much that I went with same tire, but wider. I'm very happy with handling on wet or dry. And it's very smooth and quiet ride.
Best tire ever
Just put a set of Premier LTX's on my 2014 GMC Sierra (20" wheels). Unbelievable ride. My wife got into the truck and quickly commented on how quiet and smooth the tires were. Balanced with a road force balancer.
Worst Michelin Performance ever
I have had Michelin tires on my vehicles for over 30 years and been completely satisfied with their performance. In April '16 I put the 2nd set of Michelin on my 2010 Lexus RX 350. Was advised to put Premier LTX on. Have been nothing but disappointments since. Had tires installed and balanced and bounced all away home. Had tires re-balanced twice after installation to no prevail. Due to Michelin 30 day satisfaction guarantee I was able to get a second set but again to no prevail. Bounced all away home. Finally took vehicle to Lexus car dealership and had them Road Force Balanced. Never have had to do such to just be able to drive.
The best tires ever for our Toyota 4Runner
Just a month so far but love, love, love these tires. So quiet, smooth and great handling/tracking. Great in rain too. This is our third set of tires on our 2006 Toyota 4Runner and these are amazing compared to prior sets. We live in Vermont and really appreciate the handling on mountain roads, interstates, and local dirt roads. No time on snow yet.
It is Like I have a New, Smoother, Quieter SUV
I have a Lexus RX 450h AWD, which used to have Goodyear Assurance TripleTred tires on it. They provided great wet traction, but at the cost of ride and noise. I just installed Michelin Premier LTX 235/55R19s and the change is amazing. Now the only noise I hear is the wind noise - no road noise at all. The ride has upgraded to the smoothness of a luxury sedan - it really feels like a different, better car. Right out of the shop I got to drive home in a rainstorm, and I do not think I have given up anything in wet traction, and the road feel is still solid. I cannot speak to snow/ice performance, but my conclusion right now is - Buy these!
THESE NEED TO BE YOUR NEXT TIRE PURCHASE!
These are the best tires I've ever purchased! It literally feels like I had new shocks/struts installed. I was going to replace the front struts until I had these tires installed. There's no need now. Our MDX drives like a new car again. The harsh ride from the previous Latitude Touring HP's is gone. Those are the worst tires I've had on the MDX. The wear was horrible as well! Michelin hit a home run with the Premier LTX! The road noise is diminished, it handles slightly better with a softer ride. In time we'll have to see how the tread wear goes since the rubber is very soft. THESE NEED TO BE YOUR NEXT TIRE PURCHASE!
Primacy MXM tires on new cars do not last
I have 25000 miles on my Acura RDX and over half of the miles are highway miles and the Acura dealer told me that I will need to replace the tires within the next 4000 miles. I expected Michelin tires to last more than 30000 miles especially when over half are on the highway. The dealer said that the tires do NOT have any mileage warranty when the car was new.
Smooth and Quiet
01/16/2016: I immediately felt and heard the noticeably improved difference with this new set of four Michelin Premier LTX tires on my 2006 Acura MDX (SUV). These replaced a set of 4 Michelin Cross Terrain tires purchased in 2011 accumulating 50,500+ miles due for replacement in about 6-months, but I wanted to get new/fresh-tread all-season tires for greater peace of mind this winter. You will notice their smotth "cushioned" feel and much reduced road noise right away. I trust that the other desired chracteristics of improved driving/control in snow and wet winter conditions will be equally apparent, thus my projected 5/5 S & TP ratings.
Best tire I've ever bought!,,,
Best tires I have to say. Bought a set of 4 to replace my old Michelin energy mxv4 on my 2007 Acura MDX and they run way smoother and very quite. Also better handling on the highway and city roads. I highly recommend this tire if you want a smooth and quite ride.
Tire handling
I've had my new Premier LTX tires just a few weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle in the snow this winter. However, one thing I did notice is that on grooved pavement, the car wanders, the tracking is uncontrollable.
