Overall Assessment

This isn’t going to be a very lengthy assessment because we all know how impressive Michelin tires are. From year-round traction to reliable braking and handling to responsive steering and ultra-comfortable ride experience, there’s nothing faulty about the LTX M/2.

The only thing that may throw you off about this tire is its steep price tag. But in our opinion, this tire is worth every single penny. SUV and truck driving doesn’t get any more enjoyable than with the LTX M/S.
