With the last 11,000 miles of the 51,000 miles on the Michelin LTX MS2, I can recommend them. I have driven up to 75-80 MPH on the highway coast to coast and in wet and snowy conditions. The traction, handling and braking is very good and better than the OEM Continental tires. After the first 10,000 miles, the original tires showed feathering and scuffing on the front tires that made it necessary to rotate the tires often. I thought the wheel alignment was off. The new tires show no signs of unusual wear. A mystery to me. As I drive long distances across many states, I chose the Michelin LTX because it is available everywhere. Don't overlook other tire brands; there are some good alternatives. But, here is what I do know: We have a 1998 Mazda 4WD that came with Michelin tires. Choosing a second set was a no-brainer. On all our other vehicles when we replaced the OEM tires with Michelin, it was always a noticeable improvement. On a few occasions I took the advice of the local regional tire shop and regretted it. One car went through three sets of different tires in the first 50,000 miles. Finally it went to Costco for a set of Michelins. Now at over 100,000 still running on the Michelins.
