Michelin LTX M/S 2 - Initial Thoughts (Now LTX Defender)

Need to get you some real OffRoad tires then. LoL Michelin doesn't do that.

 

Reported for heresy!

 

Ha-ha.. I'm riding me some LTX M/S2's...

 

As am I.

 

hah LOL

Michelin makes the best offroad tires anyone or any organization can buy. period

what they don't make are brodozer tires that look good at the mall. they do
make the best offroad tires for commercial vehicles for offroad, [and if you can fit
an XPS on your truck it'll go nearly anywhere.]

how about XZL ? these bastards are so above anything else





instead of clowning around making a tire -look- aggressive, they science the shit out if the
tread, belts, and rubber properties to make superior tires that work.

now, some of Michelins subdivisons like BFGoodrich make your run of the mill bro-dozer tires

 

These are the worst tires I have ever owned.

Just kidding, they're great. They did wonderfully in the recent blizzard. Starting/stopping was a breeze. Only issue I had in the snow was steering abruptly. They didn't grab in different directions very well, but that is to be expected with a non snow-dedicated tire.

I seriously recommend these tires.

 

Light snowfall. Should get an inch or two today, to try out the new tires.

 

Nothing to report. They performed well during my short commute home.

 

I finally ditched my AT 20's and got some LTX MS2's put on. I immediately realized a difference. My cholesterol dropped, I can run faster, and my erections last a perfect 3 hours and 59 minutes. These tires are as amazing as everyone says.

In all seriousness, my truck definitely feels different. I just can't describe it yet, maybe more responsive when steering and a little more solid. After about 200 miles of driving I feel fairly confident I made a good choice, specially after encountering driving rain and nasty winter conditions in the first two days of ownership.

Obviously I can not give any real feedback but I will try to update my thoughts when I have put some real miles on these tires.

This thread was part of the research that led to my decision to purchase the LTX MS2's. Thanks to all that had input here.

 

Awesome! Glad to hear this thread helped you!

 

I'll be honest. All I notice using these tires over my OEM Rugged Trails is a harsher ride. I'm rather disappointed as I was anticipating great things after reading all the hype for so long. Not much I can do about it now, other than live with it.

 

You could lower your tire pressure if you have some room? Might be worth an attempt. It can make a big difference.

 

Do you have P-series or LT-series MS2 ?

 

The non snow performance of these tires is second to none.
Snow performance is adequate enough for all season

I think that sums it up. Great tire.

 

These tires scare me. They have led me to believe that I can drive safer in what was previously unsafe conditions for the stock tires. Outside of that, I love them and will replace them with the exact same tire (assuming they're available) when they need replacement.

 

Wow is all I can say about how happy I am with these tires. Went LT instead of P rated tires. Thought of as extra insurance when towing.

 

Mine are "P", running at 36-PSI. Ran my RT anywhere between 38 and 40.

 

I've had mine for about 6 months. They did pretty good in the snow. They're perfect in dry weather (most tires are). But where I really love them is in the rain. My BFG Rugged Trails sucked in rain. I don't off-road at all so I can't comment on that.

 

Agreed. You summed it up perfectly.

 

Do you get even wear all the way across the tread in the rear with 36psi?
