I have set of Michelin LTX M/S LT tires ordered for my 2013 f150 cc.I have been reviewing some previous post and I keep seeing some folks mentioning a 70,000 mile or 60,000 mile warranty on these tires. From what I can find the LTX M/S LT tires have a 50,000 warranty. This is the tire with 3415 lb capacity and 80 psi. The Michelin site says 70,000 miles warranty @ speed rating T and H, 50,000 miles @ speed rating R. Best I can tell R rating is for LT use. What am I missing or am I just over thinking this. Is this the same tire just rated differently depending on use? No tire expert here. I don't want or need an all terrain tire so it looks like the Defender LTX M/S LT is what I want, at least I think so.

I run these (LTX), I had to replace them two years ago, not due to wear but because they had cracks in the tread valleys. They had been on for several years I want to think over a decade, ~ 60,000 miles. Only about half way through the tread, not sure of the depth but far from the wear bars.

Depends on size. Go to Michelin site, and scroll down near bottom.

I have been using them for the past 20 years on 4 different vehicles.You get what you pay for. I have easily gotten 70,000 and up to 80,000 out of them.The ride is far superior to other tires I have tried. We replaced the Firestones on the Suburban with these and the right was very much improved, much quieter and a lot smoother. I was going to go with Goodyear or a less expensive tire as now our tires age out rather than wear out, however the Michelins were only about 25.00 more each so it was a no-brainer to go with a far superior tire.I am replacing the 285-75-16's on the F250 after the first of the year with the LTX/AT LT and have an out the door price of 875.00 from a mom/pop tire shop a short drive away from here. I am currently running LTX/MS but am changing now since moving here I use a lot of boat ramps that are on dirt roads and need the traction.I will probably now have the same experience as eichacsj above and these will age out and crack as we now drive around 5000 miles per year and will not wear them out. I drive company car for work and our vehicles are only for personal pleasure use.

I have a set of E rated tires on my 2010 Chevrolet 2500HD. They currently have 35,000 miles on them. I will be lucky to get 40,000 miles out of them. Very expensive tire with 70,000 mile warranty. If you actually read the reviews and talk to tire tire people the sidewalls and rubber are very soft. Mine came with 15/32 tread when new, rotated regularly, at 30,000 miles they were down to 5/32. I run 80 psi in the rear and 65 psi in the front when towing; and around 50 psi front and back when not towing. Michelin's are great on my cars, but I am very disappointed in this set on my truck. Next time my top three choices will be Toyo, Yokohama and Cooper.

I suspect you have the LTX M/S "2's" not the old LTX M/S's which were the subject of a huge recall. I have run the LTX M/S 2's on both my F-150 and on my 24' Class C with excellent results (especially the free set of 6 for my Class C thanks to the original M/S's being recalled).Both sets were E rated and came with a 70,000 mile tread warranty.:C
