Michelin LTX Force

Best wearing SUV tyre I've had – At 70,000 Km's still have 20,000 Km's left on them, quiet on road and very good handling in the wet, good off road as well bought from Tyres plus in South Windsor at a low price and good service.

Excellent all round 4WD tyre – I fitted Michelin LTX Force 285/65 R17 to my 200 series Landcruiser 70,000km ago after some considerable research. I know no-one else who has these fitted and frankly, I am astounded that they are not more popular. Probably because they are not considered "proper" off-road tyres. Nonsense, I have been across the Simpson Desert twice, over some… Read more

of the worst corrugated and rocky roads imaginable, on sandy beaches and seriously rugged tracks. I have never had a puncture. The tyre surface is resilient and does not "chip". The Michelins preformed faultlessly. They grip well on the sealed road, are excellent in the wet even after this time, and importantly for me are a comfortable and quiet ride. I left my review to this point to see how well they would wear. I am certain I will get at least 100,000km out of them before they need replacement. An outstanding product and worth every consideration.

Have yet to find a better tyre – Over 80,000ks and they still look good for another 20,000. About 15,000ks off road - mostly sand - no complaints. Handles very well on wet roads. Show details

Unbelievable Tyres, best ever in my opinion! – Attended my local Tyres Plus Store as my stock Bridgestones on my new Ford Ranger Wildtrak had worn out at 60,000klms. I advised I was an occasional beach goer with the occasional dirt road driving. The tyre shop owner advised the rep's were having trouble wearing out the Michelin LTX Force tyres. I purchased 4 new ones at $225 each and these… Read more

tyres were the best tyres I had ever had on any of my utes in the past 10 years. I travel a huge amount of klms (usually 100,000 per year). After 6 months I had travelled 76,000 klms and these tyres were 50% worn. Weekly checks of the pressures and rotated evey 15,000klms, these are the best I have ever had! Cannot recommend enough. Sold the ute due to end of lease but tyres were still going!

First class Tyre – These Michelin LTX force are a fantastic Tyre. they are extremely long wearing and have great on road characteristics ,They provide very quiet running on the tar ,along with great grip in both dry and wet conditions . As and off road Tyre they are a reasonable performer ,when you consider how good they are as a road Tyre The excellent grip and on… Read more

road performance make then a ideal Tyre for Utes or dual cabs .as this type of 4x4 can lack on road manners when fitted with the average cheap Tyre often fitted to them

Update to previous review – Update to my previous review, i am happy to report the Michelin LTX Force tyres [225/65/17] are performing very well. Have now travelled 47,000kms with no punctures , still have 6mm of tread depth with slight scalloping on outside tread. Looking very likely i will achieve 75-80,000kms, which is impressive considering the previous Bridgestone 697s Duelers only achieved 45,000 kms. Highly recommended. Show details

Michelin Live Up To Their Reputation – Nearly three yrs ago, I bought some Michelin LTX Force tyres for our Prado. I have always been a big fan of Michelin but twice in my life I chose, on the recommendation of others, other brands. Each time was a disaster. The research I did on these tyres confirmed my past experience with Michelin......good wear and good grip. Some people said the… Read more

wear was exceptional (up to 130,000km). Well, we've done 50,000km so far. The ride has been very quiet and comfortable and the grip has been excellent. The tread depth from new is 9mm. After 50,000km, the rear tyres are at 7.9mm and the front tyres are at 7.1mm. This suggests that 130,000km is a quite realistic expectation. So, if you're thinking that Michelin are expensive, well, yes, they are but on a safety and wear factor, perhaps not so much. I won't drive on anything else. Based on 45yrs of driving, I highly recommend Michelin as a brand and, for anyone driving a mid to large SUV, the LTX Force are fantastic.

Best tyres for a ute – All the tyres I've used in the past for utes have not stopped drift around corners. I live on a mountain and the roads up and down are twisty and especially dangerous during wet weather. These tyres give you a feeling of stickability and safety in both wet and dry conditions. When viewing them they don't give the impression of a "macho" tyre… Read more

with deep treads, but on the road they're impressive. Would recommend to all seeking safety and reassurance above superficial appearances.

Best all round 4x4 – (Ford Ranger)I travel highway and gravel roads,they are brilliant.Quiet,smooth ride,good fuel economy,grippy in wet.done 58k Kms still going strong.might get 70k.only one puncture so far.best 4x4 tyre I have fitted Show details

Best suv tyre ever had – Fitted ltx force 265/65/17 tyres on 2018 colorado. Now dine 10000 km. Without doubt the best tyres ive ever had fitted. Both towing 2t van and vehicle only perform superbly. Both wet and dry they really grip well. Pushing vehicle hard on winding road through mountains in rain they never looked like letting go. Excellent also on snow and slush… Read more

ice. Also the quitest tyre ive had, far better than dueler hts vehicle came fitted with. Ive owned toyo,dunlop,and yokohamas both AT and HT but these michelins are by far the best

Excellent A/T tires – I am living in Thailand. There is a few review and feedback here. I have bought a set of 4 tyres (265/70R16) fitted in Chevrolet Colorado (C-Cab LT 3.0 AT Z71 model 2005) in August 2018 with a cheapest tyres I ever bought to replaced BF KO2. I figured these a set of tyres is quiet, smooth ride, high corner grip, good stability control in bot… Read more

dry and wet surface or concrete and bitumen road.

For now, 27/9/2019, I have used is for more than 45,000 km with first 5000 km, and the next each 10,000 km tyre rotation and balancing. I fell tyre surface still soft, rounded, even wear, and easy to balanced.

I hope this set will be used exceed 80,000 km.

I will purchase the new set again.

Great tyre – I’ve got a set of the Michelin LTX Force in 265/65/17 fitted to my Amarok. I’ve had them on for around 20,000km so far. These tyres have been great. I’ve been everywhere with them, ie. Oodnadatta Track, High Country, Arnhem Land, Lerderderg State Park, Loveday 4X4 Park etc. Quiet and smooth on road, nice and grippy on wet roads, no punctures, very… Read more

minimal chipping and they go great off road. I usually drop them down to around 28psi and you can tackle anything. In my experience with these tyres you don’t need a heavy and aggressive LT AT tyre which comes with increased fuel economy and more noise on road. Get a set of these to take you everywhere.

Greatly improved our Rangers ride and handling – Purchased these for our 2013 Ranger with 97000 klms on it and has made a whole world of difference to the utes ride and handling and is much quieter , highly recommend the LTX Force Show details

So far so superb! – I’ve only done the first 1000km on them and hence can’t comment much on their durability and handling in other weather conditions but the general handling and quietness compared to the price is surely a jackpot. They’re soft, quiet and superb in handling corners and appear to have the capability of ‘pinching’ the tarmac. Still yet to try sandy and other terrains...  Show details

Awesome look, quite responsive – Haven't had these for too long so can't say much about the durability but seem very good so far. Quite responsive and noise is pretty low. Overall, I'm very impressed with the noise and responsiveness compared to the price. Much better than tyres with similar prices. Nothing wrong with it so far.  Show details

A Must Consideration – Michelin LTX Force 265/65/17 have been on my Isuzu D max 2013 for 20,000 klms. At first I noticed and was pleasantly surprised by the soft, quiet and comfortable ride compared to all the previous quality 4WD tyres I have had in the past. A much softer tyre so I assumed they would wear much quicker. I have found just the opposite. After 20,000 klms… Read more

I am surprised there is very little wear.

We have had a wet summer season recently and I cant fault them on very wet roads with excellent braking and cornering. I usually drive to the speed limit and I am impressed with the quality of these tyres.

As I use them for our business on farms they are good in the mud although only paddock work. I also have driven them on the beach with excellent results and we tow our 3 ton caravan with no problem at all.

All that Michelin say in describing these tyres I agree with. Prossibly the only problem is, because of the deep tread they pick up some small stones.

If you are in the market for a 4wd tyre take a look at these tyres, they are so far one of the best tyres I have owned in 30 years of driving. I have a couple of friends who have purchased these tyres as well and they are just as pleased as myself.

Update: I have now had these tyres on for approximately 30,000 klms and hardly any wear. For the last 10,000 klms I have been working away in the country 2 hrs drive from home. A mixture of winding and reasonably straight roads. For the last few weeks I have been driving home in very wet and at times heavy rain. I am so impressed with the handling of these tyres in the wet. There is really is not much difference between driving on a dry road or a wet road. I have in my previous preview stated how smooth and soft a tyre they are. So impressed I will be buying again.

Brand New Series Tyres – Purchased a Brand New set of Michelin LTX Force. Tyres visually appear better in real life than in the photos. Deep Tread with large voids. I'm hoping they live up to expectation. A great tyre that sits between H/T and a A/T, but more on the A/T side with slightly agressive tread pattern. Tested the tyres while towing an empty trailer in wet… Read more

weather. Really impressed how the tyres dissapates water on the road, excellent low level road noise similar to the stock Dunlop AT20s.

Traction in the wet is fantastic, much better than the stock Dunlop AT20s.

Gravel roads, Michelin LTX Force far superior than the Dunlop AT20s which had a tendency to drift. Stone collection in the tyres clear out really well once you return to the tarmac.
