Global note
1-10 on 10 reviews
Ford Ranger Work Ute - 70,000kms+
Fitted the LTX TRAIL on at 85,000km on the Odometer. Now sitting at 157,000km with 8.6 mm of tread left. I drive for work on highways and getting into Quarrying and Mines sites for 2.5 years now on these tyres. Long Lasting, Comfort and still phenomenonal wet performance in the rain. Purchased these tyres from Frank at Tyreplus Wetherill Park. I will be returning to fit these LTX Trails on my new GR Hilux once I start my new role :)
Review after 45000kms on a caravan
This tyre makes the caravan handle like rails on the road. Even very wet surfaces the caravan felt solid. Inflated to 48psi. These tyres gave the caravan a comfortable ride. The only thing I’m not happy about is the wear. Despite a wheel alignment the tyres have worn the inside edge out. I’m also not happy that Michelin have decided not to sell the 265/70R15 anymore. Next month I will swap to Yokohama geolanders.
Great Looking Tyre BUT
These are great looking tyres But, I found the constant road noise (whistling) on bitumen roads annoying, and ride was considerably harsher than the original fitment tyres. After one week I have changed back to a new set of the original fitted Tyres. These tyres would be better suited to constant use on gravel roads.

Excellent Tyres
Had these on previous work car and did approx 60,000k ont hen they were fantastic. Awesome wet grip felt like was driving on dry roads the whole time and even better on dry surfaces. So good I put them on my work car again and as a sales rep who travels 70-80k a year need something that is safe and long lasting. Quite at all terrain I’ve ever used, not as quiet as hwy tyre but that’s what you get with all terrain still super quiet considering. my Navara looks tougher and feels better to drive with these tyres on. Highly recommend and will always continue to use them on all my cars and recommend to family and friends
Bad tyre dance
1 tyre is out off round and need to be balanced all the time. Tyres have now done around 40,000km and it now has bad tyre dancing at around 75km speed

Silence, comfort & hardy
I have use 3 generations of LTX, 2013-2018 1st one is LTX AT, 2018-2023 2nd LTX FORCE & 2023- now the new one is LTX TRAIL..i am from Sabah, Malaysia.
Soft tyres but VERY noisy above 60km/h
I am a long time fan of Michelin tyres and have always used the Pilot Sport range on my BMWs. They are the best tyre by a long way so I decided to try the LTX Trail on my BMW X5 which i use 80% on-road/20% off-road. The LTX Trail produced a nice soft ride and was softer than the Goodyear Wrangler Silentrac tyres i replaced however the Michelins were making a humming sound at 60km/h and it got louder by 80km/h to the point it was unbearable. The Goodyear tyres that these replaced were quiet and made no humming sound even after 75k kms of wear. Lucky Michelin had a 30 day money back guarantee and I returned the tyres and fitted Goodyear Wrangler Silenttrac again and the car was back to being silent. It is a real pity as I liked the soft ride of the Michelins around Sydney's potholed roads however the softer tyres also meant that there was more body roll in corners but I could live with that but not the loud noise.
Excellent
Excellent tyre for stick in the wet & dry. Quite, no road noise. I have been lucky purchasing these tyre during a period of high rain levels & they stick to the road like having duck feet fitted to your car. I have pushed them both in the wet & dry & the result is excellent. Handing, turn in, all excellent & no aquaplaning in the wet. I have tried a few different brands & type of tyres on my ute but nothing even comes close. I have a car racing background so I have definitely been in the position to really test these tyres & I haven't been disappointed in any area. Pushing a 2 ton ute through its phases in both wet & dry really let's you know what you have underneath you. Can't tell you yet what the wear is like as I haven't had them on the car long yet, only time will tell that story. My normal rule of thumb though, is if you want a tyre that will wear well, you won't have a tyre that sticks when you need it to. For safety I would rather have a tyre that sticks & handles well & replace it when it's worn regardless the k's. It's cheaper than replacing your life. We will wait & see about wear.
Game changer
After 5000 kms in our new caravan we swapped all 4 cheap branded plus the spare, all terrain tyres over to Michelin LTX trail. Same pressure same size. I have had Michelin before on my work vehicle and they were great. Gosh what a difference, quite unbelievable actually. Gone is the skiddish sideway movement when a road train whizzes past. Gone is white knuckle driving when there is a strong side wind. What all from new tyres? You bet.
Stunning tyres to drive on and look good too
Beautiful tyres for steering control and towing a big caravan around NZ they work on and off road too
