I have ran a few sets of Michelin's and have had mixed results. The OEM Michelin's on my wife's 4Runner where great and we went thru 2 sets of the CrossTerrain SUV tire before it was discontinued. Each set got around 50-55K miles before wearing out, which is less than the mileage warranty so we got a little money back on the 2nd set (no mileage warranty on the OEM's) We never had a single flat and they had excellent snow traction. The 4Runner now has X Radial LT2's, so far so good.
My sig truck came with LTX's and I pulled them off as quick as I could. I bought the truck in November and winter was fast approaching. I am not sure I have ever ran a worse snow/ice tire. Tire pressure didn't seem to make much difference either, even at 30-40 rear and 50-60 front. The tread pattern on the LTX is identical to the CrossTerrain SUV, just a different compound.
After a short lived set of Toyo AT's I put on a pair of BFG KM2's and ran them for a season. They where great at everything, but a little too aggressive for a decent tread life when towing so they got reduced to winter/hunting duty. I picked up a set of OEM takeoff's from a 2011, the hated LTX... but I had zero intentions of doing anything but towing with them. They where my summer tire and did well for towing, thou they where wearing VERY quickly. With less than 15K miles on then they where down to about 9/32, but they where hard miles with lots of dirt towing. They did well in that environment, but I never asked them to give me winter traction. I did get one flat on the LTX's, it was a large rock puncture on a back road.
So mixed results, I could live with the shorter life of the LTX's as I demanded a lot of traction on dirt/gravel but the winter traction was a joke...
